She is always on the job whether it is stormy or not. And at what ever hour you call her she is pleasant and efficient. The people in the telephone service make cour tesy a habit. It is part of the efficiency with which they serve. There are 15,000 men and women engaged in the telephone system of Ontario and Quebec. They handle over four million calls every day and, in spite of the constant cry for speed, there is scarcely a case of conscious discour- & tesy or neglect. H|pHE COMPANY IS PROUD of these JL 15,000 men and women and has endeavor ed to make their work as agreeable, healthful and stable as possible. Several hundred present employees have been with the system for more than twenty-five years. This stability of staff maintains high’ standards of operation and is encouraged by the Em ployees’ Pension and Benefit Fund, established, in 1917, to protect employees in illness or acci dent, and to provide for their future and for their dependents. There is also a plan of Employees’ Life Insur ance, by which out of salary, employees may carry without undue burden insurance to care for their dependents. This plan has been ar ranged in co-operation with Canadian insur ance companies at regular rates. IN ADDITION to this factor of stability an ■ active interest in the telephone system is. encouraged by the plan of employees* purchase of shares and by the plan of employee repre sentation. Some years ago telephone employees were given opportunity to become shareholders in the company and 10,390 of them have subscribed for shares on instalment payments. For some years also, spokesmen selected by the staff have met with representatives of the manage ment to discuss such matters as wages, hours,, tools and working conditions. This has not only stimulated interest but promoted effici ency. THESE THINGS are the basis .of the alert- • ness and enterprise which have become a •tradition of telephone work. It is demonstrated among the 4,900 men in the plant department. Over 3,500 of them have qualified for St. John’s Ambulance Corps first aid certificates and because of their outdoor duties they are frequently nearby when acci dents oe mr. There have been many instances in which their voluntary response has saved life and relieved suffering. The same spirit has become familiar in the enterpri-e and courage with which operators rise to ;.n emergency. ^WHETHER IT BE the night operator qn V V the job at midnight or the lineman fight ing a winter storm, the men and women of the telephone service give their best in contributing to Canadian progress and well deserve whatever benefits the company is able to offer.

EYES TELL DISPOSITION AND CHARACTER Blue eyes for easy-going. Gray eyes for even temper. In green eyes lurk passion and jealousy. Brown eyes are masterful, yet kind. Upturned eyes are typical of devotion. Eyes with long, sharp corners indicate great discrimination and penetra tion. What color, what shape are your friends’ eyes? EYES TELL HEALTH CONDITION They are like beacon lights or dull, pale lamps. If you suffer from headaches, aris ing from constipation or biliousness, or sluggish liver, your eyes soon lose their sparkle. The whites show a yellow tinge that spoils their brilliance—the pupils are dull—the eyelids half-closed. THEN YOU NEED A LAXATIVE In choosing a laxative remember that nature’s own laxative .juices are found in fruits and vegetables—not in mineral sub stances or irritants. That is why Beecham’s Pills are so safe and efficacious—they are vegetable in composition. They contain the equivalent laxative value of ripe fruits and vegetables. Beecham’s therefore are safest and best. They are easy to take and certain in action. vttW£.Y£UOWTINCE Mm FTake a regular daily course , of “ Beechntn’s Pills. A Vegetable Product for a short period.
