The Evening Missourian., 1918-05-06
This is the woman's day,
Now, in her splendid hour,

This is the woman's day,
Now, in her splendid hour,
Turning from trifles away,
And mounting her throne of power
This tribute belongs equally to wom-
en- of all nations lined up in the strug-
gle for liberty. They are doing their
part not only at home but in the busi-
ness world. The number of women GO
ing into business is increasing each
day and it is to these sane and discrim-
mating women that the BUSINESS world
will come to look for its progress in
these days of war.
Many Columbia women have been un-
usually successful in business, such
as Miss Rose Rosenthal, director OF
the Rosenthal School of Commerce and
founder of commercial courses in var
ious Columbia schools. She inaugu-
rated the commercial course in the
East st. Louis High School, coming
here three years later. In 1914 she
taught at the University Summer Ses-
sion and also became director of the
School of Commerce at Christian Col
lege.
Mrs. Fannie Shelton and Miss Mabel
Parsons, owners of the Parsons Sis
ters Beauty Parlor, began business in
Columbia two years ago. They spec
ialize in shampOoing, manicuring and
massaging.
Miss E. L. Shepard, owner of the
Shepard Millinery Store, came to Co
lumbia five years ago. The Shepard
store is the exclusive agency here
for Fisk hats and also carries fine
needlework and stamped goods.
Keister's Tailoring College for La
dies was established here ten years
ago by Misses Maud and Willie Robin

son on the third floor of the Elvira
Building. 1t is the only establishment
of its kind in Columbia and has proved
very successful.
The Lueckert Sisters, Misses Eliza
beth and Gene, have the oldest milli-
merry establishment in town, having
been here since 1910. Smiths Milli-
merry Store, the home of the Gage hat,
was established here three years ago,
by Mrs Eva ]. Smith. She has proved
a successful business woman.
The Marinello Shop, owned by Miss
Mamie Gilliland, has been in Colum-
bia five years. Miss Gilliland, who is
a graduate of Boston school of beau
ty culture, does shampooing, hairdres-
sing and manicuring.
The wabash Market has been estab-
lished here several years and the sue
cess of the business has been due to
the management of Mrs. Emma Wealth
ers. One of the most up-to-date mil
linery shops in this section of the
state is owned ana managed Dy MIS-.
S. NJ. Metty. Last year she redecorat-
ed and arranged her shop which is
located on the second floor of the Thi-
10 building. Another successful wom-
an in this line is Mrs. Gertrude Hess,
who manages the Hess Millinery Shop
located above S1S E. Broadway.
Mrs T D Marsh has hui1f nm
successful business at her home, 1920
Locust street. She does hemstitching
and picoting and gives prompt atten-
ton to all mail orders. Mrs. G. W.

very successful home-shop trade. She
is a designer and dressmaker and

PHYSICALLY FIT
AT ANY AGE

1t isn't age, it's careless living that
puts men down and out" Keep your
internal organs in good condition
and you will always be physically fit.
Watch the kidneys.
The kidneys are the most overwork-
ed organs in the human body. When
they break down under the strain
and the deadly uric acid accumulates
and crystallizes,, look out! These
sharp crystals tear and scratch the
delicate urinary channels causing
eXcruciating pain and set up irrita-
tons which may cause premature de-
generation and often do turn into
deadly Brights Disease.
One of the first warnings of slug
gish kidney action is pain or stiffness
in the small of the back, high COL
ored or scanty urine, loss of appe-
tite, indigestion or rheumatism.
Do not wait until the danger is
upon you At the first indication of
trouble go after the cause at once. Go
to your druggist Immediately Get a
trial box Of GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil Capsules, imported direct from
the laboratories in Holland, where
they have been in use for over two
hundred years. They will give almost
immediate relief If for any cause
they should not, your money will be
refunded. But be sure to get GOLD
MEDAL None other is genuine. In
sealed boxes three sizes. Adv.

RED CROSS NEWS.

The survey of nurses, which has
been requested by the Government
and which is being conducted in the
Southern Division of the American
Red Cross under the direction of Mr.
Frank E. Galloway, has not been fully
and completely understood. The call
is not for trained or registered nurse
alone. While every trained nurse is
earnestly urged to register, yet the
main object of this call is to ascer-
tain how many women in a given To-
Cality have had nursing experience.
This means experience" in caring
tor the sick in her own home, in the
homes of her neighbors, in first aid"
work, while receiving hospital train
ing while acting as emergency or
regular assistant to the local doctor
as hospital attendant, or as a student
taking Red Cross nursing courses and
also as a midwife
In other words, the government and
army demands upon all trained nurses
are so great. and are going to be so
much greater. that it is necessary to
know the name of every woman who
has cared for the sick.
The missionaries which are being
sent out for women who have had this
experience to fill cover also certain
inquiries as to education, physical fit
ness. etc, but the filling out of these
missionaries does not obligate any
woman to accept nursing service. It
merely furnishes the information that
she can nurse, and it is this informa-
lion which is needed and which must
be bad.

 Did you ever see fish yawn? Richard Elmhirst, an English biologist, tells us that yowning is common habit of cod, saithe, cobbler. plaice and various other kind of fish From his descriptions, the piscatorial yawn is very much like the human yawn, except it is done under the water. He says:
 From numerous observations I am led to think that this action of fishes is a real yawn and serves the physiological purpose of a yawn-that is flushing the brain with blood during periods of slug gishness. The conditions conducive to yawning are a slight increase in tenn perature and. suppose, the accompany ing dimnution of oxygen

 As communities prospered the owner of the saloon or half way house" waxed prosperous in proportion.
