larger farmers deliveries, and in the
meantime the consuming demand is re-

dead set on a career. She came down
to me for Job and her very enthusiasm
won me.
She grasped knowledge Of the bus
mess with astounding rapidity, and !
was making up my mind that she
was going to prove an exception to
the rule when. the obstruction made
itself apparent.
Every time a man came into my
office Sue attracted his attention;
drew him to her like a magnet
studied the thing out, but could never
md Just what she did nor how she
did 1t
Il would be talking earnestly on a
matter of business to some chap who
was stranger TO her, when / would
be quietly shaken out OF my forget
fulness of Sue by a calm question
or something else equally as inconse-
quential, and that might Just as well
have waited until my caller had gone
The very gentleness of her; her
sweetly smiled question distracted my
visitor. and won for Sue the attention
that seemed to her as essential as the
air she breathed.
TIL wager that not one man In a
dozen who came into my office on
business ever left It without q mem
ory of my secretary. and yet could
not accuse the girl of innuendo or Ill
breeding.
And 1 am just as sure that Sue
Belmont could describe accurately ev-
cry man who called upon me during
the month that I employed her"
Month"; calculated The Little
Lady.
What elseT' asked The Busy Man.
"A fellow can't employ girl who
distracts the attention of every man
who comes to see him on business un-
til they get quite Off the track OF the
purpose of their visit
And" added The Busy Man with a
sigh. that's just one little experience
out Of many. I'll tell you that It is al
ways some peculiarly feminine quality
that obstructs the way OF the average
woman to climbing the business
heights"
The Washington herald., 1916-10-07

TT would be an absurdity to deny
woman's mental ability TO cope with
men," commented the busy man TO the
little lady as he puffed away at a big
black cigar.
There are IN the world some striking
examples of successful business women,
but they are not in the majority.
Taking the number who go out TO
compete with men In earning a living.
and pit them against the masculine
bread winners, and you'll hnd mighty
OF success sufficiently high to make them
known beyond their personal friends"
The little lady had listened in silence
to the busy man, but her thought was
occupied with all the bright young wom-
en- she knew who had gone out into the
world to help turn the wheel OF com
merce, and in her heart OF hearts she
could find nothing to say in refutation
of the frank assertions OF her compan-
ion.
But two or three out Of a hundred or
more whom shs could recall had ever
accomplished more than a pitiful little
salary-perhaps enough to buy their
clothes IL some one paid for their bread
and butter and furnished a roof to go
over their heads. But beyond that
And it isn't because they are not just
as clever; Just as capable; just as intelli-
gent" The Busy Mans voice broke in
on The Little LAdy's thought
After a brief silence The Dttle Lady
vouchsafed a name or two in defense,
but The Busy Man waved them aside.
You mention a half dozen. but what
have you to say of the hundreds? What
becomes of the hosts of girls who begin
work beside their brothers so courage
ously7 Why don't they attain positions
that VIII pay them high salaries or make
them famous7
Shall I tell you why7' he went on
without pausing for The Little Lady to
make answer to his volley of questions.

Why Tolerate Catarrh?

You have noticed, no doubt, that any
cold aggravates nasal catarrh, and the
flow of mucous amazes you that such
Objectionable matter could find lodg
ment in your head. To ignore this
catarrh when the cold subsidies is
wrong because it continues to slowly
injure the delicate Innings of the nasal
passages and clog them up.
To correct catarrh, cleanse the nos
trils frequently with a solution of warm
water and salt, insert vaseline on re-
firing, and take spoonful of SCOTS
Emulsion after meals for one month.
SCOTS acts through the blood to feed
the tissues, and contains soothing
glycerine to check the inflammation
and heal the sensitive membranes.
SCOTS is pleasant to take.

Sweden finds some of the proceed
lngs by the countries at war irritating
to her pride and detrimental to her
commerce, although the country has
prospered enormously BY the demand
for her goods from the belligerent
countries. All of the irritations are as
nothing compared with what she would
encounter if she entered the war. Neu-
tral corns are being stepped upon by
the warning countries but the toes are
not lrreparably damaged. The nation
that goes to war cannot be sure that
1t VIII come out with any toes at all.
Sweden would like to do more business
with Germany and Great Britain de-
s1res to prevent this business as far as
possible. Here is a conflict of interests.
but this country is in the same boat
with Sweden. While both countries are
being hampered in the pursuit or lhelr
foreign business, both must remember
that the Allies, who are causing ALI
the trouble, have also enabled both
countries to arrive at an unusual de-
gree of prosperity. If the account be
balanced, it will be found that Sweden.
as well as the United States, has more
reason to think well of the allies than
to place itself in active opposition to
them.
