SLOUCHING

Do you slouch7 If you don't you are the exception, for
most people do more or less. If the habit IS yours try and
overcome it for it is harmful harmful to you physically as well
as detrimental to your appearance and ability. The sloucher
gives one the impression of being physically and mentally lazy,
and more often than not she is. Learn to stand erect. Don't
stand on one foot, with your knees bent, your hands IN your
pockets or on your hips. When you walk don't sway, roll or
swagger. DOM lean on the furniture or move about nervous
ly or needlessly.
Equally as important as a good walking posture is your
sitting posture. Many a business woman spends practically
her entire day seated at her desk. Judge for yourself of the
harm she does her body if her posture is slouchy, cramped and
incorrect. Let me quote for you some of the chief rules for
correct posture while seated.
Sit back in your chair, not ON the edge.
Keep both feet on the floor and grip slightly with the toes.
Keep your trunk straight, chest high, back straight, head
back on shoulders.
If seated at a desk, have the chair the proper height For
the length of your legs and the desk the proper height for the
paper or book you are working on.
In writing, sit straight. Some people sit sideways, rest
ing on an elbow, or they bunch forward over the desk and
squint along the lines as they write.
Don't SLOUGH in your speech unless you want to be labeled
as lacking refinement. Don't say "Umhum'' or "Yeah, ;"
but learn to say Eyes"

Britain Girl Clerks
Ask Salary Raise

LONDON, Aug. 31.-(By The As
ISOLATED Press)-GirI clerks in
American offices who bemoan the
slimness of fifteen and twenty dollar
a week salaries are considered lucky
by their poorer paid counterparts
in England.
There are 5000 women clerks In
government offices, some of them
with eight years experience, who re-
ceive less than the equivalent of $40
a week. They don't like it, but they
know what to do about it, for there
are still more than 1000, 900 unem-
ployed in England who stand ready
to pounce upon positions the minute
they are vacant. Most of these gov
eminent clerks are in the late TWEEN
ties, some have passed thirty, and
among them there are widows with
children to support.
The clerks have asked the govern
ment to increase their pay by 50
or $3.50 a week. Some Of the news
papers are supporting their requests.
The government hasn't said any
thing yet, one way or the other.
Meanwhile, it is said, the girls who
cannot make both ends meet on their
salaries are making up the differ
ence after hours, by sewing, doing
laundry work, and teaching dane
ing.

MOTHERS OF FAMOUS MEN
THE MOTHER OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT
By MARY ADRIAN

such a thing was in royal circles at
that time. She was a person of tre-
mendous nervous force and energy,
a quality which Alexander inherited;
she had, as her son had aftersher,
a decided individuality and a -will
of iron. The passionate warmth OF
temperament which made him such
a splendid friend and such an inn
placable enemy, were also eharac-
teristics of his mother. Her friend
ship once given, she remained loya
under any circumstances.
Like most people with ardent ma
lures, Olympias was exceedingly re-
ligious, pouring out much of her
nervous energy in the worship of her
gods and the ritual of her religious
ceremonies. Here, too, Alexander
resembled her. He had a singularly
religious turn of mind, even for those
days, when the religion OF the people
was bound up definitely with their
daily activities.

A great man who inherited many
of his qualities from his mother,
was Alexander the Great, conquerop
Of the ancient world, the son of Phil
lip of Macedon and his wife, Olym-
pias, who in turn was the daughter
of Peoptolemus, King of Epirus. The
family of Olympias traced its lineage
back to the Greek hero, Achilles.
The fiery temperament of Alexan-
der, which accounted for his vigor,
his ardor, and his far-famed tenn
per, was a direct heritage from his
mother. She was a woman of VOL
ent reactions, given to what in mod
ern language would be referred to
as temperamental fits. A biograph-

Women Are Ready
To Fight For Rights

LONDON. Aug. 31.-That ome
have been deliberately hoaxed by
men lawmakers is the deepening
suspicion of feminist leaders in
England. SO strong is the feeling
that a deputation representing the
principal organizations of women
throughout the country is to wait
upon the Home Secretary to urge
amendment of the Sex Disqualifica-
ton Removal Act.
In the opening sentence of the act
1t Is laid down that a person shall
not be disqualified by sex or mar
riage from the exercise of any public
junction. 1t is now clear, say the
feminists, that whenever it is chal-
lenged the act fails to secure sex
equality. Its chief effect has been
to enable women to sit on turtles
which, rightly or wrongly, is regard
ed by most English people as a PEN
atty rather than a privilege of equal
citizenship. Further, women have
been admitted as lawyers, but this is
because the legal societies have ac-
|cepted the spirit of the act and have
not chosen to challenge it's letter.
Apart from these points the act, ac-
cordlng to its women critics, has sig
nally failed in some vital particu-
lars.
The act does not give women
equality of opportunity in the Civil
Service, and it does not safeguard
the position of women public SER
wants, as exemplified in the differen-
tiation between men and women po-
lice when, the plea of economy being
necessary, most of the latter we're
dismissed. 1t does not secure women
public servants from dismissal on ac-
count of marriage. It does not Sc
cure admission for women to the
universities on equal terms with men.
and it does not permit women, other
wise qualified, to sit in the House of
Lords.

Constipation

Constipation
OF ALI the letters that come to
this department, far the largest num-
Der which have to do with ailments
mention constipation al THE trou-
BILE. 1t seems to make little differ
ence IL the baby is breast or bottle
fed, sometimes constipation in bot
tie fed babies being less stubborn
than in breast fed ones.
1t Is useless to go into all the
reasons why babies are afflicted
this way, but there are certain
things that mothers can do to
help it. Before the baby is
three or four months old, if the
formula for bottle feeding is good
the baby gaining. and everything
apparently right, the best thing to
obviate the condition, is to give
milk of magnesia in the first bot
tie. This is harmless and effec-
tive. When the baby is a little
older this ian be dropped and
other methods of cure used. The
same method will do for the
breast fed baby, If the mother has
first done all in her power to
keep her W bowels in good con-
dition and is eating laxative
fruits and vegetables.
When the baby is four months
old one can make use of the small
chamber every day to educate 1t
to good bowel habits. Grease a
soap suppository we'll with vase
line and insert it about an inch in
to the rectum. Leave it a few
minutes and then put the baby on a
well padded cuspidor held on the
mothers lap, the back of the baby
being supported by the mothers
chest. The suppository will slim
ulate a movement, and If done at
the same time every day for at
least a week, the baby will then

ground that the white man was the

Since our best welfare, from the
standpoint Of earthly existence, de-

all mankind, and since this is also a
condition precedent to eternal saliva

race relations. If we do not, rest as
sured that we shall lose much in the
