feels that to be truly womanly she
should look upon business as tenn

until marriage brings a blessed de-

no work ideals, her business interest
begins and ends with her pay en-

business, thus aiding and abetting the
pre- iudice against women for import

Every woman is justified in insist

as a class, will pursue this policy we
will hear less frequently the complaint

Most firms consider employees who
are old in point of service as of greater

consideration and pay them higher
salaries. Of course occasionally you
encounter people who have no consid-

The Business Woman
BY VALLIE NJ. SEITZ..

1t is an admitted fact, even though
1t does come reluctantly from a great
many sources, that woman has won
success in the business world. That
she is factor is a fact not to be,
lightly scotfed at, and the critics unt,
unbelievers realize that the foothold
she has gained is not merely for the
present. Through knowledge and ex-
perience she has firmly entfenched
herself, not for today or tomorrow
but for all time. Women are in bust
ness to stay, and each year the num-
Der increases above the proportion Of
. population increase.
Her success has not been lightly
won however. On the contrary it is
the result of travail of body and mind
and opportunity and a million other
things-but the sacrifices have cul-
minated in her independence, and
therefore have not been in vain.
Various versions have been ad-
vanced as to woman's entrance into
the business field. The following ten
are supposed to cover any excuses she
might have to offer:
(1) Women have no private incomes
usually, and the men folks Of the
family are unable and quite often
unwilling to support them.
(2) Through death, accident or dis
ease they are often compelled to
contribute to the support Of a
large or dependent family.
81 In many instances the husband is
unable to support his family in
decent comfort on the salary he
earns, and therefore thru desire
to assist, they 60 to work.
(4) Women of today desire a higher
standard of living than the stand
ard with which their parents are
satisfied.
(5) Often the head of the family pro-
vides comfortable home, but is
unable to supply his daughters
with pin money, good clothes, en-
tertaining, an occasional trip, etc.
10y There is not sufficient work in the
home, especially if the family is
large, to keep the girls interested.
(7) Love of an occupation for which
woman thinks she is fitted.
10y Desire to be Independent, even
though she can be supported at
home.
o. Desire for business training so as
to be self-supporting in case Of
need.
10Y Because they prefer any work to
homework.

Previous to and for several years
after the Civil War it was slightly less
than an affront to propose employ

women of the old South were surround

mothers when war stalked with fire
and brand throughout the land.
Wages were low and employment
Idifficult to secure during the time of
reconstruction. in consequence Of
which men with families were seri-
ously handicapped in their efforts to
earn sufficiently to properly support
their loved ones.
It was to relieve this embarrassing
situation, that several citizens con-
suited together with the object in view
of introducing female clerks in such
'stores as would be willing to employ
them and among the number was Mr.
Abe Rosenfeld who agreed to trv the
experiment if young lady willing to
accept clerkship could be found. One

or public discussion of women in busl-
ness, there are sure to arise reaction
aries, of both sexes, who urge that
woman's place is not in business, and
who attribute her presence there to
selfish or inconsequential motives.
Again there are extremists who de-
clare that the place for the intelligent
woman is in business outside of the
home where she will receive her pay
envelope. 1t is little difficult to de-
termine which is the voice of wisdom,
however the weight of evidence indl-
Gates that probably IS per cent OF
all the women who work in Offices
stores, factories, shops, ETC., work be-
cause it is necessary for them to sup
ort themselves or their dependent
families.
There can be little doubt that the
woman with business experience
whether she has succeeded or not, is
usually a more sympathetic, intelli-
gent and companionable individual be-
cause of her experience. If she re-
mains unmarried and succeeds in bust
ness she certainly holds more self
respecting position than the ola-fash-
toned spinster, without private in
come, who held the anomalous position
of "poor relation" to tribe OF pity
ing "inlaws." Again if she marries it
is logical to assume that she carries
into the home her habit of successful
endeavor built on her business ex-
periences.
In a newspaper interview ex-Presi'

trained to some occupation which, il
followed, will make her independent

Then she need not marry except in

{ to assume some day."
If women expect to receive equa]
recognition with men in the distribu'
ton of jobs they must be properly
qualified (1) BY acquiring thorough
business education. (2) BY adopting
the same serious interest in work. 81
BY formulating a big, definite purpose
for the future.
That men are prejudiced against
women in business is due to the fac
that many Of them are unframed, in

''All my neighbors are talking about
Tanlac since it made such an improve
ment in my condition" said Mrs. M. A.
Donley, 412 East Fifth ST., Topeka,
Kan.
For eight years I had rheumatism,
and while it was worse at some times
than others l was never entirely free
from it. My feet and back hurt me
so that I couldn't get much sleep at
night, and 1 suffered so much that
finally my nerves gave way. I suf-
fered a good deal from indigestion,
too, and was growing weaker and
thinner every day
"Tanlac suited my case exactly and
it was something wonderful how
quickly 1 regained my health. I'm en-
tirely rid of the rheumatism now, and
my digestion is perfect. Tanlac has
done for me more than I expected"
Tanlac is sold in Topeka by Tully-

druggists everywhere.-Adv.

rain, the east third of the state expert

weather in the history of the state
during the month just closed. This
was especially true along the Kaw
valley where the maximum rainfall
in the month-1159 inches-occurred
at Lawrence. while the average of the
valley was about seven inches. These
facts are set forth in the monthly

Peculiar extremes were chronicled

while most of the east third of the
state was bountifully supplied with
moisture. a drought existed in a large
area of the central third of the state.
In this third the monthly rainfall
averaged but 2.99 inches and the west

When the deputy state oil inspectors
