of certain forms of heart or gland trouble. But in many otherwise normally healthy 'people the simple explanation is constipation.
THIS S may be enused by In- herited laziness of the 'bowel. Or certain ncute fevers, anaemia, neurasthenia or general H-health will produce this condition. Or it may be due to bad habits,
Somclimes the trouble may be, associated with some local condition. For instance, a fat, flabby person, or a woman who has had a large weak family, will suffer from abdominal muscles which do not contract vigorously. Any growth or discase in the bowel itself may also be a cause,
Exercises are good for helping to restore the tone of the bowel. An abdominal support should be worn both by men and women who are flabby. And dieting helps tremen- dously.

Is She in your Office?

has succeeded in making terself disliked by every body, and not one of the staff has a good word to say
for her."
This was the despairing verdict of an architect of my acquaintance who had inieces into his office it pupil, the daughter of two personal friends of his.
Tills girl bas had a succesful career at the university, is clever and very keen to learn, good-looking, but not at all the type to imagine every man in the office and Uere are only two other women to a dozen men-desperately attracted to her. It is her manner, or rather her lack of office manners, that threatens to spoil her career at the very outset,
For instance, she omitted the first morning to shake hands when introduced to the staff. Later she rang the bell in her employer's room for one of the clerks instead of going next door to ask a question-the, the most junior member of the staff, with everything to learn and nothing to offer in service,
When instructed in various technical points she omitted to answer at all, so that whoover was explain- ing had the uneasy feeling that either she did not un- derstand or was paying little attention.
Old offices are dark and the staircases uneven in places, but when the tripped up one morning and was rescued from a nasty fall by one of the clerks she never thanked him for his help, but strode on, utterly dis- regarding this courtesy.
These are all small matters, but the cumulative effect is great. Now the architect is wondering if the will be able to retain her as a pupil, since, naturally, he does not wish to have his staff upset-there are those among them who have been with him and his brother and father for more than 40 years, beginning as ofice boys and working their way up.
is this "working her way up that some of the modern girls fresh from the university seem unable to do. Possibly they do not realise that there is sill a strong prejudice against women in some of the older professions, such as the law, medicine and the Civil Service, that politeness costs nothing, but serves an infinite purpose with both young and old men, who bitterly resent a know-all attitude on the part of a young woman..
Making oneself liked in an office is almost the most important factor in any business life, I should have said, and the camaraderie of the average English small offico in which everyone is ready to help everyone else is well known.
