Hi am the secretary of a business man

The editor of the department replies

'You will have to use your own com

Ihe Woman’s -Home- Com;mnion, one
°f the largest and best known women’s
niagaiines published in this country, re
cently took a vote on the Question of
suifrage among several thousand of its
readers. One of the questions asked
was the following: “Shall the Compan
ion take a strong editorial stand for or
against Woman Suffrage?” Those who
were opposed to tlie magazine taking \
stand numbered 1.676; 751 believed that
it should declare itself for suffrage; 340
wished a stand against suffrage; while
a,2<3 were not.. interested in the sub
ject.
Another question asked was as fol
lows: “Or shall the Companion merelv
publish articles from time to time iYotn
people who can write intelligently on
one side or the other?”
Those favoring articles on both sides
numbered 3,055; those for suffrage only,
136; those against, 51; those favoring no
articles whatever on the subject, 65; no*
interested, 683.
While those who definitely favored
suffrage e,veatly outnumbered those who
declared themselves against it. the over
whelming vote was for articles on both
sides of the question.

The Right Way to Stand
In the August Woman’s Home Com
panion William J. Cromie, waiting an
arttcle entitled,' "What. Every Girl
Should Know,” tells the right way to
stand, sleep and walk. Following is
his advice as to standing:
“In the correct standing position
the chest is held high and thrown out
strongly, the abdomen drawn in, the
chin in toward the chest, with the
body held erect and leaning slightly
forward. The weight of the body is
equally distributed upon both feet,
either with one foot in advance of the
other as in the military ‘at rest’ or
with heels together, as in figure. In
the military carriage the body is bent
farther forward than in the ordinary
walking posture. The cadet gets his
erect posture, not so much by the
physical exercise he takes as by con
stantly being reminded by his officers
that he must hold his body erect.
“There are three ways to tell whether
you are carrying yourself properly.
Stand with the back to a wall which
has a smooth surface, with the head,
shoulders, hips, and heels touching
the wall; try to maintain this position

at all times. Another way Is to lie
on the hack, note the posture of the
head, shoulders, chest, and hips, arise
and ’ assume the satire posture; -Still
another is to practice balancing a
moderately heavy book on the head.
Place a soft cushion on the head an I
the book on top as this gives the
book more surface upon which to rest
and is more easily balanced.
“Keeping the chest high and the
body erect is an excellent exercise and
should he cultivated.”

THE RIGHT MAN.
On his 80th birthday Chauncey M.
Depew said to a reporter:
“You. ask for the secret of success.
Well, one secret, in executive work,
ft putting the right man in the right
place. Dike Dol'd Claud Hamilton,
you know.
“Dol’d Claud was traveling over his
line when a brakeman —or guard as
they say in the old country—shouted
at Acton station:
‘“Haction! Hactlon-’
“Dord Claud smiled. A little fur
ther on, arriving at Manwell, another
guard shouted:
“ ‘Atwell! Atwell!’
“Quick as a flash Dord Claud said
to his companion:
“ ‘You see how different it is,
Thornton to get the right man in the
right place. We nui3t have that Act
on porter brought here, and we’ll send
that Hamvell .fellow to Acton.' ”
