"Milk Maid'' Heads Sales
 Of Dairy Company In Three Cities

pablo woman who had built her life into her business. She already managed the office and more or less directed the salesmen. Why not give her direct charge? They de- cided to experiment in having woman boss for their men. They discovered it worked perfectly
 T think a woman has the advar1- tage, if anything, over man in an executive position," Miss Roberts stated the opinion that has grown out of 10 years experience. "Wom- en often can get along easily. with less friction, with a group of men than a man boss can. That is, if she just takes her job for granted and doesn't waste time and energy worrying"
 Fretting in Miss Roberts opinion. is one thing women in business must guard against. She said:
 Some women just cant do their work for worrying because they think the men in the firm don't like them. Other women can't do theirs for worrying for fear men will get their jobs away from them. If women would just quit worrying about this, that and the other, and do their jobs a little bit better than anybody else could do them. there would be nothing left in the busi- ness world women couldn't do." Rose With Her Firm
 Her philosophy of a career is just as interesting as her advice on methods of work She said:
 Any job is fun. You can make your job what you want to make it. I advise women to just take any job they can get, stay put and work hard, concentrating on what they have at hand to do today, not what they might do if they got this or that tomorrow I think if l had moved around I wouldn't have got ten the position l have. 1 just grew up in the concern and natur- ally it just carried me into g more important position as it expanded. I believe that any girl who wants to get ahead can. First. she has to want to. Second, she has to get a job. Third, she has to work hard at it. I think those three rules will make a success of anyone"

This. Modem

New York. July 25.-A vibrantly healthy, pleasant faced, capable looking woman rose at a luncheon of the National Federation of Busi- ness and Professional Women the other day, where everyone in turn was introducing herself and descrb- ing her business, and said:
 T am Grace Roberts, Omaha milkman"
 Everybody's attention was caught. Amused glances turned her way.
 T am not milk maid Miss Roberts continued, in her clear. ringing voice that carried all over the huge dining room. Not that l couldn't milk a COW if I had to. But I don't. I have charge of the salesman for our dairy which serves Omaha, Sioux City and Lincoln. My particular concern is increasing figures Of sales of all of our products rather than the actual milk being and increasing efficiency in service. put into bottles.'
 That brief statement failed. how ever, to even vaguely describe the success Miss Roberts has attained, the responsibility of her job, the important position she occupies in her home town and the surprise it Is 10 find woman occupying it.
 Boss of 2G0 Salesmen
 For Grace Roberts is vice presi- dent of the Roberts Dairy Co.,, and sales manager for the daries in the three mentioned cities She hires and fires the force of 200 salesmen, plans ther sales talks, checks up on them, and directs the entire sales poHcy-of the company. And the Roberts who founded the company and owns it is no relation whatso- ever to the Roberts family of which Miss Grace is a part. Her success is due to her ability. not family ties!
 Twenty years ago Grace Roberts, then little girl in her teens, need cd job badly. She had had stenography so she secured Omaha until she located a place that needed an office girl-of -all-work. It was dairy. She applied and got the job and day in and day out, week in and week out she was sure that her little, unimportant loh was the most

The fall from the nest had been bad enough, but now a creature such as he had never seen before had picked him up. He remembered what Mother Crow had said when She had warned the young Crows 10 be careful, and he was certain that .hi5 creature was going 70 eat him. So naturally ha vas 3 very fright ened young Crow.

He kept right on, and all the crows followed for a short Distance. Presently Jim Crow stop ped his noise. He was rather out of breath. Besides, he was very curl 'ous He was seeing things that he had never seen before. He vas sc 5ull of curiosity that he forgot tc cry. Now, when he stopped crying The other crows began 10 lose inter est. Most of them had families, any way, and they were anxious 10 get back to them.

The mother of a three-year-o1 the other day confessed that she felt completely helpless before his temper tantrums and his stubborn ness.
 She had tried to cope with these faults of his ever since he was a baby. She had used every art and every device that she could dis cover either through talking to peo- pie experienced in dealing with children. or by reading books on the subject,
 She went on to tell that from the moment she looked upon her baby s face she knew that he would be like his father, a man in whom she had been bitterly disappointed.

THE CONSUMPTION GERM


 Next to Louis Pasteur, the bright est name in the history of bacteri- ology, that branch of modern sci ence which deals with germs and germ life is that of Robert Koch the discoverer Of the tubercle bacil- lus, and promulgator of what in bacteriology are known as Koch S Postulates.
 To the labor and ingenuity of Robert Koch We owe the discovery Of the tubercle bacillus, the germ responsible for the great white plague"
 This germ was discovered in 1882, less than 50 years ago. Many before Koch had sought the then unknown agent Of consumption, but none had succo ssfully demonstrate q it's presence. Their failure, in part at least. is to be accounted for by the difficulties in artifcially culti- veting the tubercle bacillus.
 This germ, which belongs to a special class known as the acid ia bscillis, will grow only under the most exacting conditions, and at that only very slowly.
 Whereas most other germs will show a marked growth in from IS 10 A hours. tuberculosis germs re- quire weeks for appreciable growth and multiplication.
 The isolation and identification of the germ of tuberculosis marks one of the epochs in the history Of medicine. Previous to the discov- cry of the tubercle bacillus, we lwere as much in the dark about the White Plague as we are today about the cause of cancer With the knowledge of the germ responsible for tuberculosis, however, we have
New Britain herald., 1930-07-25

been able to study the disease, and, through added knowledge, 10 com bat it more effectively.
 In the 50 years since Robert Koch discovered the tuberCle bacillus, deaths from tuberculosis have been reduced to less than one-hfth of their former number.

let's think about this simple and In.
expensive aid to beauty and health.
Think how the complexion, the hair
and skin depend upon good blood and
Q healthy circulation for nourishment.
An adequate amount of water viii do
much toward keeping the blood In good
condition and the circulation active.
The pores need to be kept awake or
they become sluggish and fail to carry
on waste products when the result is
coarse skins, sallow compilations and
q general rundown feeling. Plenty
of water taken internally stimulates the
pores Of the body to activity and health.
Warm weather will soon be here and
then 1t Is even more necessary to drink
plenty of water, for the temperature
Of the body is regulated by evaporation
Of perspiration from the skin and water
provides the necessary moisture for per-
Spiration.
We have spoken only Of water taken
internally as an aid to beauty. But
don't forget that plenty Of water used
externally Is equally important. A
daily bath is the minimum requirement
for any individual, and In addition to
washing the body, the teeth and the
hair need plenty of water TO keep them
clean and healthy. can suggest no
better and yet no simpler beauty slogan
for my readers than Plenty Of water
