The Human Factor in Industrial Efficiency DURING the past two years the number of accidents in the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) organization has been reduced 80%. This splendid result has been brought about through intelligent co-operation of employes. The saving in life, efficiency, and money cannot be computed. The fact that the Company has been able to secure whole-hearted co-operation is the reason for the complete success of the safety plan, and is a very significant fact in connection with all this Companv’s enterprises. During the first year after the plan was adopted, over 97% of the safety suggestions made by employees were adopted. Mechanical safeguards were greatly extended, and a system of education was carried on whereby in numerous instances the habits of the employees were changed. Thoughtfulness was substituted for thoughtlessness. This campaign with its remarkable achievement of 80% decrease in accidents is of definite interest to 30 million people in 10 Middle Western States. Safety in occupation promotes efficiency of the worker at his task, and makes him a better citizen. The employee who realizes the fact that his safety is being looked after at every turn is free to give his entire attention to his duties. In any industry the human factor is the key to efficiency. The man who is content, well paid, assured of his future, and safe from injury, may be depended upon to give his best effort to his work. He is more productive; he is more content; he is prouder of his work. Thus by safeguarding the welfare of the worker, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) takes the initial step towards harmony within the organization, which enables the Company to produce annually a tremendous volume of petroleum products of uniform quality, which are such essential factors in promoting commercial progress and domestic happiness.

IF RHEUMATIC EAT NO SWEETS Says Gias? of Salts Helps to Overcome Rheumatism Acid Rheumatism is easier to avoid than to cure, states a well-known authority. We are advised to dress warmly, keep the feet dry, avoid exposure, and above all, drink plenty of good water and avoid eating sweets of all kind. Rheumatism is caused by body waste anti acids resulting from food ■fermentation. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this poison from the blood and cast it out in the urine; j the pores of the skin are also a means' of freeing the blood of this impurity. • In damp and chilly cold weather the skin pores are dosed, thus forcing the kidneys to do double work; they' become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this waste and acids, which keeps accumulating and circu lating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles, causing stiffness, soreness and pain, called rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jar Salts; put a tablespoonful in a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morning for a week. This is helpful to neutralize acidity, remove waste matter, also to stimulate the kidneys, thus often ridding the blood of rheumatic poison. i Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used with excellent results bv thousands of folks who are subject to
