A Big Firm Makes a Special Feature q! Towards Its Employees. We had a visit this week from Mr. W H E lu U Advertising Manager for the Vacuum Oil Company Proprietary Limited. In the course of conversation. Mr. Judd made clear to us the magnitude of the company and the policy of its Directors The Vacuum Oil Company Propnefnj'v I/mited gives employment to over one thousand Australian or Rriii-h subjects, and the fine example shown by this company in the manner in which it takes care of its employees is worthy of emulation. For example, over 10 per cent, of its staff have already enlisted, and the company is either paying their lull salaries or the difference between the salary that the employee is receiving from* the Government and the salary that he drew from the company. Each employee who has enlisted has the promise that his position will be ready for him again upon his return. The policy of the Vacuum Oil Company Proprietary Limited is one ot co-operation—of giving fair and just treatment to its workers. It has various educational methods, such as training schools, which certain members attend nightly, as well as lectures o-iven by the managers of technical, scientific and educational departments. Every inducement in education, promotion and encouragement is given so that employees will remain in the company’s service. The democratic feeling that the office boy has an opportunity of some day becoming the managing director is the spirit that prevails throughout the organization, as proved by the tact that one of the present directors started as an office boy in Brisbane some years ago. In addition to these advantages, the company has a pension scheme by which any employee who has been in the service for twenty years, and reaches the age of sixty, may retire, drawing a pension that does not cost him a single penny. Again, all employees are covered by an insurance policy, that in the event of death after five years’ service, the dependants receive* payments in accordance with the length of service of the employee. This is also without cost. The Vacuum Oil Company Proprietary Limited is one of the biggest companies operating in Australasia, having large manufacturing works at Sydney, Melbourne, and Fremantle, besides offices and warehouses in twenty-five centres in Australasia. The products marketed by the comuany are high-grade American Kerosenes, Motor Spirit, Spraying Oil for Orchards, Kerosene Stoves and Heaters, and Lubricating Oils. All the modern methods of keeping the staff and general public posted on the chief topics of the day have been well catered for by the company’s two papers—“ The Vacuum Review” and the “Gargoyle Bulletin, with which many of our readers are familiar, _ -

Find the “Slacker.” d? “ vVhat’s the matter with you, mymani 1 a true specimen of the slacker was asked " Well," he replied “ I eat well, and I sleep well, but when I see a bit ol work, I feel fit for nothing. "Probably you have days when you don't feel like work—when you feel limp, listless, fit-for-nothing ; but unlike the " slacker," you have no appetite, no relish for food, and you have either just had a night of broken sleep, or one is probably in store for you. You are not really ill, but you are 11 out-ot-sorts." It is more than likely that your stomach is at fault! It has probably lost its tone, and is consequently "slacking.” Now this is serious, because either your stomaqh. must do its work thoroughly, or you must suffer. What you need—and need urgently—is a tonic that will brace up the stomach quickly, surely and naturally. Mother Seigel's Syrup is the tonic yon need! The medicinal extracts contained in tins well-proved and most successful stomach and liver tonic enable the digestive organs to do their duty efficiently, and when they have been restored to proper working order, vou are pretty sure to feel well—and “ fit for anything." Mr. J. O. Holloron, Elies Road, Invercargill, N.Z., wrote on November 22. 1915' "Pur about ten years I suffered from acute indigestion, always felt blown-out after meals, and had an ailing stomach. I took medicine from which J received very little benefit. About twelve months ago I was recommended to try Mother Seigel's Syrup, which gave me almost immediate relief, and after about three bottles,the distressing symptoms were completely removed. 1 always recommend Mother Seigel's Syrup to sufferers from indigestion, and have never used any medicine since first taking it." * Next time you are out of sorts, nr suffer in any way like Mr Holloron did, follow his example, fake Mother Seigel's Syrup, for your stomach’s sake, and note how quickly your appetite returns, your lone it restored, and how your energy increases, day by day.
