neighbors or friends. But here / can
cut loose and speak frankly-at least
L think l can, for I do not at the
moment envisage single proprietary
interest which will resent this bit of
truth. However, one never knows in
this work where the next sniping will
be encountered.
Now here's a. typical case. Johnny
is a broth of boy with a natural
lazy, school-hating boyish disposition.
Johnny has some rather large tonsils,
probably also enlarged adenoid body,
and no doubt considerable associated
or consequent abnormality in the
nasal passages. So it is no trick at
all for Johnny to trump up a terri
bic" cough on very slight cause or
provocation. Not that the kid DELHI
erately fakes a cough. but, you know,
Barkis is willin'. His parents in
variably react favorably to Johnny's
cough-they become anxious and dis
cuss the dread significance of such a
bad cold" with all the possible re.
suits, until Johnny just naturally con-
cludes he is sick.
This fits in well with the unwhole-
some environment and atmosphere,
and SO the upshot of the thing is
Inat Johnny gets week or two out
Of school. Also Johnny gets some
more or less harmful cough medi-
cine"-usually something containing a
good dash of narcotic, which keeps
Johnny kinda dull and dopy and
also keeps Johnny's cough going in
definitely.
II you ask me about Johnnys cough
I'll tell you to forget it. Johnny
coughs terribly? All right, what
of it? Coughing doesn't hurt Johnny
any, it may even do him good. If
Johnny needs treatment for his ton
sils or adenoid. why, let him have
proper treatment, and never mind the
cough. What has the cough to do
with it?
Croupy, brassy, barking, terrible?
Aw, banana oil. Do you expect the
kid to cough pianissimo? Does he
close the door or climb the stairs
pianissimo? Not If he is a regular
kid.
In short, here is my honest advice:
Never do anything to check cough,
except under medical care. If you
wish to aid or loosen a cough, try old
DR.. Brady's foolproof cough remedy.

SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.

Though most of you are lovelorn,
there are still great many OF you
just tired and discouraged about
business matters.
You tell me of monotonous drudg-
cry in the office. of long hours and
small pay--of tiresome work that
never shows progress.
The problem of progress is per-
haps the most acute with my busi-
ness correspondents.
One girl says she's been working
in the same office for five years and
there hasn't been the suggestion OF
a raise from the boss during all that
time, though her work has increased
and her responsibility becomes
greater.
She's so anxious to get ahead--yet
the way seems to be closed for her
What shall she do?
Well, of course. in her particular
case, it looks as If the best thing she
can do is to get another job.
There are many situations such as
these to which girls cling year after
year out of force of habit-and
which they ought to throw up before
it's too late.
Fear holds them back--fear of the
unknown-fear of being jobless. And
my correspondent today says that
poverty stares her in the face if she
resigns from a position which is al
least offering her steady pay.
Now, although / don't know this
young lady, / can diagnose her case
pretty well.
The poor girl has that awful bug
bear, poverty. confronting her. And
she shudderingly clings to her un-
satisfactory job, thankful to have
| that between her and the grin,
specter.
She never looks away from the
awful thought of what might happen
to her il she let go. She keeps her
| mind on it, all the time, and she
loses courage contemplating the
dreadful possibilities which might
arise should she lose her position.
Courage gone. she hasn't the nerve
to go to look for another job. Feeling
utterly dependent on her present
situation, she is too thankful for it.
She comes to believe in her inmost
| heart that the salary she's earning Is
| the most she can ever hope for. She
decides that she isn't capable of
holding anything better than her
| present job.
And what's the result? Her frame

| Each year she will become more
| dependent upon what she has-and
each year her chances of advance
ment and progress will be less.
Now, this isn't advice to keep your

new job with utter self confidence.
| But it is advice to keep your self
respect--to hang on to your self-con-
| fidence-and to know that progress
| is right for you, IL you're working
conscientiously
Don't let fear rob you of your
chance in the world. Have self-confi
dence enough to go into something
