l. Ideal EmpIoye short, Blonde and
Bright-Eyed?
Suppose you are the employer of
other people. You may be only a
householder who must select cook,
maid, or perhaps only a shelp-out'
to wash or to clean the windows.
You may be only a laborer yourself
who must select other individuals TO
work under your orders. Book
keepers, street PAYERS, housemaids,
cobblers, salesladies and shop girls,
all have occasion to choose or to boss
other persons.
That there is healthful and more
active body and mind, less of decay
or rust, greater happiness, more
cheerful outlook upon life, less of the
nervous, better and more pro-
nounced action of all of the organs of
the body in those who are BEAUTIFULLY
employed cannot be disputed. Life
is prolonged, personal relations are
more wholesome and welcome.
Unfortunately, all methods Of en-
ployment are not conducive to health
or peace of mind, but much is being
done to regulate this. Environment
and habits are potent factors In en-
joyable employment; occupation also
influences largely the benefit of en-
ployment.
Complexion and Height.
All men and women should be in a
measure compelled to work II only for
the benefit it assures to mind and
body. 1t improves the moral tone
of humanity, as well as fnsures
against faulty and injurious, not to
IT,
less pauperism and fewer penal and
eleemosynary institutions, the bur-
dens of which are becoming more and
more apparent. There would be
fewer hospitals, infirmaries and dis
pensaries, and fewer demands for
charity, following which the moral
tone and self-reliant nature of man
would be vastly improved.
How can you select help that will
increase your own might and ability,
as we'll as add to the profits of your
employer and the economy of man
agement?
The new plan-the efficiency meth
od-provldes that the applicant must
fit exactly into an allotted task. Thus
light complexioned person,
blonde. or a pale-blue- eyed individual
usually is apt to be more wilful, more
masterful and more capable than a
dark-eyed, black haired. brown flesh
ed one. The latter is less masterful
than the light one, just as the African
races are more contented and docile
Size is, next to color. most vital
matter as far as efficiency is con-
cerned. Scientific management OF the
new sort which reduces labor, time
and expense and economies every
little movement, requires that men
and women not over 5 feet 8 inches in
| height should replace every tall en-
lploye who must do much bending over,
| behind counters, under shelves or in
sitting positions.
Workers over this and up to feet
2 should not be bookkeepers, bank
| clerks, or labor at machines or in
| positions which make them perform
excessive movements. Every ungrace-
full, awkward bend they make reduces
their efficiency and earning pow
er. Gait, movement, attitude aid pos
ture all play important parts in Sc
| lecting an employe. A shutting,
! shambling walk, with dragging and
| scraping feet, means timdity and
slavishness. Overgold posing means
impudence and effrontery. Real abil-
! ity and power is evident in a mat
ter of fact, symmetrical and uncon-
scious stride.
Wrinkles and Hands.
Shaking hands, as well as the APP
lpearance of the hands and the quality
of the finger nails, all point to the
presence or absence of skill. A firm,
Unconscious handshake with a sound
grip which fingers neither too long
or drops the other hand too quickly
Is a sign of health, vigor and sin
certify
A fiabby shake most often spells
hypocrisy, dishonesty and indiffer-
ence. 1t is almost certain proof OF
linattentiveness and unreliability. Pale
finger nails, badly trimmed, as well
as the presence Of hang nails mean
nervousness, poor health, slovenliness
and the thralldom of bad habits. Nc
