Annie was caught in the suction and

her to continue and see what happen

new TO PROTEST
ALLEGED ABUSES
IN CIVIL SERVICE

WASHINGTON. Sept Ex-senator
New. of Indiana, is prepared to make
vigorous protest in regard to the way
the civil service has been disregardcd
in Indiana, especially by the postoffice
department. His protest is an otter
math of the declarations made by for
mer Chief Commissioner Galloway, Of
the civil service, Democrat, who de-
clares he was forced off the commission
because he refused to permit Postmas-
ter-General Burleson to institute var
ious rules that would make the ap-
pointment Of a Republican to a post
mastership impossible.
In line with Galloways declarations,
Senator New today cited two instances
of what he termed the abuse of the
civil service in Indiana, one in regard
to the postoffice at Milan and another
in regard to the Winchester office.
In Milan, several persons took the
examination, and Charles B. Alton re-
ceived the highest grade. He was Ger.
titled to the postoffice department by
the civil service commission, and his
nomination was sent to the senate by

Heart and Beauty Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am twenty
five years old and although l have met
and been loved by many, I could new

little over a year ago, however, at a
house party in the south / met an Of
ficer Of the U. S. army and 1 loved
him. He told me he loved me, too,
and after l came home we correspond
ed for nearly year.
About month and a half ago he
came to see me and was our house
guest for week. During this week
he again told me he loved me and
asked me to marry him. l said

from our engagement II he even
thought he loved any one else better
than me. He answered.
Il may kiss a million women, but
deep down in my heart love you, and

in particular that he did not promise

tickle he was.
Perhaps she was right, and as my
pride would not endure this ridicule
sent the ring back, telling him good
bye forever. He wrote twice asking
me to be sensible and think things
over before saying goodbye. Those
letter I ignored.
l have gone every place, trying to
forget this man. Isn't 1t strange how
a face will haunt you? The first
thing in the morning and until the
last thing at night he fills my heart
and mind and to save me I cannot tear
him away. Sometimes l feel very
humble before this great regard OF
him, and am tempted to write and ask
him to forgive me. Please advise me.

You have done exactly the right
thing in breaking your engagement.
The man is unworthy of your love and
could only bring you unhappiness with

True Stories of Successful Women

when the sales manager left. Miss
Wells was given the position, but tho
general manager, who did not believe

tions, insisted that it was only hers
temporarily.
1t was a rather unique position, that
Of sales manager in a structural iron
plant, for a young woman OF twenty
six to hold, but she proved as great
success at that as she had been at fill
ing and at her many other duties. She
held this position for two years and
half and then after she had got her
department in good working order she
was asked to take over the collections

muddle.

1t took her six months OF hard
work with no regard for overtime or
holidays to get that department into
proper working order, and then when
the managed wanted her to return to
her filing work and to give the re-
ljuvenated department to man Miss
Wells refused.
She went to the directors Of the
company and stated her case. She
told them how she ndQ revived TWO
failing departments and installed an
efficient sales follow-up system and
then she told them that unless she was
given a position of some responsibility
she would leave.
Even the manager who had no faith
in women as executives was not will
ing to see her leave, and so 1t was that
: Miss Wells was made head Of the col
= lections department and then as an
added honor she was made assistant
treasurer
She is but twenty-eight years old
and is earning $4,000 year. She,
like many self-made men that one
reads about, claims that her success
is due to the fact that she started in
at the bottom and learned all there
was to know about every branch OF
work with which she came in contact
and that she staid with one concern
long enough to be almost indispensa.
BILE to them.
Perhaps the most important thing In
her eyes, however, is the fact that she
lust happened to choose something
which interested her. Had she chosen
some other kind of work she might
have found it so dull that she would
have remained in the unremunerativt
position Of adding machine operate,
until the end of her story and she
mihgt never have known that tn=

something interesting and far from
overcrowded with women

From an adding machine operator
to assistant treasurer Of a structural
iron company is an unusual jump, and
when it is a girl that makes 1t and
she does 1t in less than ten years it is
still more unusual. That is exactly
what Rhea Wells did and that is why
she has a place among successful wo-
men.
Miss Wells claims that hard work
accomplished the results and that the
only strange thing about her career
Is that she was able to master the
problems in the scructural iron busi-
ness when she could not even pass
ordinary high school subjects.
Although she found high school far
too much for her, Rhea Wells stuck
at 1t until she was finally convinced
that 1t would take her at least ten
years to be able to pass the required
subjects, and when she had that all
figured out she left school.
She had to support herself and so
she started to work in the cost de.
partment of a large structural iron
plant. She was put to work on an
adding machine and her pay was four
dollars a week.
There were often days when Rhea
had very little to do and then she
would be asked to help in other de-
partments. Usually that meant sort
ing and delivering the mail to the
various departments or helping to file
the correspondence.
She liked this much better than run
ming the adding machine and she
learned a great deal about the work
ings of the plant which she could not
| have done had she remained in the
cost department. When a vacancy &C.

Stuart's dyspepsia Tablets and see
how they speed up the stomach. It's
like stepping on the gas. You begin
to eat things that used to worry you
even to think of them, the rich things
of the banquet, the savory homemade
sausage, the toothsome pies and pud-
dings, and all the balance of a long
list Of eatables that SO many stomachs
have been strangers to.
A Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet after
meals relieves gassiness, rum blings,
drowsiness, sour risings. heartburn,
water brash, and the feeling Of being
stuffed" They contain harmless in
gradients which act with an alkaline
effect just as the stomach does when
perfectly healthy. Thus, instead of
milk or cheese curdling into a hard
ball, so you can taste it all day, it is
broken up and converted into a sub
stance for quick and easy assimilation.
1t is the same with those other foods
which your weak stomach has had
trouble with. Get a 50-cent box Of
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets at any
drug store, speed up your stomach and
thoroughly enjoy what you eat with
out diStress.-Adv.

Local Coal Mining

Many of the old time miners
have done their utmost to sup
ply local demands for coal and
have endeavored to distribute so
that each household and business
house could keep their fires go
ing. At each little mine in the
county more or less digging has
been done and but for the pretty
general use of coal by people in
the country of late years, the
towns would have been we'll sup.
piled but as soon as a load or
half load or a few pounds were
on the bank at any mine, there
was a wagon from the country
on hand to grab 1t. Of course it
could not be denied them any
more than furnishing any one
else needing fire, but the sup
ply for the towns was cut down
a whole lot.
One of the good features of
the action Of local miners in the
circumstances is the fact that
they have not raised the price
of coal at their banks nor have
haulers extortioned on coal users.
1t was time when people would
have been willing to pay almost
ary price to fill their bunkers
with the black diamonds and our
local barons had the chance to
follow the hoggish example set
by big operators, but they did
not, and now that the big strike
| is over and coal will be produced
as rapidly as it can be got out of
the ground and distributed, and,
| if the fuel administration is to
be relied upon to an extent great
er than heretofore, there will be
no raise in price, it is up to all
of us at home to patronize the
home miners for all the coal they
can supply at the price they have
so graciously charged when they
could have gotten much more for
their output.
