5 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS, FRIDAY. MAY 23, 1013. CAPITAL 1ST WIN THE HELP The Employer Must Study to Gain the Co-operation of the Employee. By B. C. FORBES. An employer in these days of labor unrest must be a diplomat, a student of human nature, a man able to blend toleration with discipline. Hundreds of strikes, petty and se rious, are caused, not through unsat isfactory wages, but by arrogant bossing by heads of departments, superintendents and foremen, who puffed up by the possession of a lit tle transient authority, treat work ers as if they were made of some lower kind of material. * * * Corporations, firms and individual employees should pay more atten tion to the careful selection of over seers of every rank. It is not enough that a man is an expert; that is necessary oftentimes, but if he is to be placed in charge of many work ers he must have tact, he must be humane, he must know the minds, the hearts, the habits and the am bitions of those serving under him. He must be able to inspire loyalty. He must not carry his head too high. He must avoid superciliousness. He must even occasionally close his eyes to litle incidents not strictly on the working schedule. * * * To be in the highest degree suc cessful nowadays an employer or corporation manager must win the co-operation of others. The slave- driver, the heartless taskmaster can not last. Sooner or later he will reap what he sows. * * * In too many establishments sys tems of fines for all sorts of trivial mistakes are still in vogue. They should be abolished. Numbers of corporations have seen the light in this direction. A policy of kindness has proved more profitable than one of harshness. To encourage has been found better than to coerce. For example: Childs’ restaurants used to fine their waiters and wait resses for every dish they broke. A whole day’s wages was sometimes lost in a moment—especially as high ly polished floors, when wet, were responsible for many slips. This system has been abandoned, with, I understand, gratifying results. * * * Really big men seldom are tyran nical to their employees. But un fortunately. the rank and file do not come in contact with the heads of establishments, but with minor aids, many of whom are sadly unfitted by education — ignorance rather — by breeding and by temperament to in spire fealty, enthusiasm, success. They are not broad-gauge enough to discern how to obtain the best re sults from those under them. They are too bent upon impressing others with their own importance. They like to hear themselves bawl out or ders. They enjoy seeing underlings quake. It feeds their vanity. Have you noticed how much at tention our wisest corporations are now devoting to cultivating friendly, harmonious relations with their em ployees? It pays. * * * Let me relate a recent incident. The president of one of our larg est express companies, a disciple of the new movement to inspire the loyalty of employees, visited a branch office. The telephone rang and he an swered it. “Any more orders for me to-day?" asked one of the company’s drivers. “No,” replied the president. “Thank heaven!" exclaimed the driver, not knowing he was talking to the president. ' ' The president sent for the man and had a heart-to-heart talk with him, telling him that if there were few orders to fill the company might have to pay him off, that drivers were in a sense the company’s sales men and that on their attitude to ward the public and toward thei, employers the success of the busi ness depended. No scolding was in dulged in. “My job depends upon you,” the president told him. “Won't you help me to keep it?” This appeal went home. Late in the afternoon the tele phone again rang. The agent re plied. “If you can send a wagon at once I know where you can get a big shipment before the wagon gets it,” excitedly shouted the self same driver. The agent, who had not known of the interview with the president, could not believe his ears. The wagon was sent and the con signment secured. “Did you say anything to ?” asked the agent of the president. “Yes, I had a little chat with him. Why?” “Here he has started out scouting for new business—a tmng unheard of before. What did you say to him— threaten to discharge him?" ... This little human-interest incident —and it is not mythical, I beg you believe—is full of meaning for bosses and sub-bosses blinded by pride and arrogance. Only the weak, the vain, the blind j are tyrannical. A big man rules by ! milder means. | Did You Ever? By WINSOR M'CAY. WELL! WHAT DO YOU TH»Hk OF THAT !< PH ATS FINE!

JUST COMMON 0 TRASH, Growing Children 'Need Good Bowels Give a Mild Laxative Occa sionally to Insure Regu lar Bowel Action. As a child grows older It re quires more and more personal at tention from the mother, and as the functions of the bowels are of the utmost importance tQ health, great attention should be paid*to them. Diet is. of great importance, and the mother should watch the ef fect of certain* foods. A food " ill constipate one and not another, and so we have a healthy food liks eggs causing biliousness to thousands, and a wholesome fruit like bananas constipating many. It is also to be considered that the child Is growing, and great changes are taking place in the young man or young woman. The system has not yet settled it self to its later routine. A very valuable remedy at this stage, and one which every growing boy and girl should be given often or occasionally, according to the individual circumstances, is Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. This is a laxative and tonic combined, so mild that it is given to little babies, and yet equally effective in the most robust constitution. At the first sign of a tendency to constipation give a small dose of Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring, and prompt ac tion will follow in the morning. It not only acts on the stomach and bowels, but its tonic properties build up and strengthen the system gen erally. Mrs. Henry Babler, Van Dyne. Wif?., writes that her little son, Melvin Babler, was constipated MELVIN BABLER. most of the'time until she gave him Dr. Caldwell'S Syrup "Pepsin. Since using this remedy he has never been constipated. The use of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin will teach .you to avoid ca thartics, salts and pills, as they are too harsh for the majority and their effect is., only temporary. Syrup Pepsin brings permanent results, and it can he conveniently obtained of any nearby druggist at fifty cents and one dollar a bottle. Results are always guaranteed or money will he refunded. If no member of your family has ever used Syrup Pepsin and you would like to make a personal trial of it before buying it in the regular way of a druggist, send your ad dress—a postal will do—to \V.
