The greattrouble with many it
lewdness is the failure on the I -tart of
employers to recognize and eepre-

that employers take it, for granted.
An employe is expected to do his
work as well as he tan to evork con-
stantly for the interests of his house,
to employ bis tixne and his best
brains to promote the Welfare of his
employer. Certainly, that's what he
is paid for. But isn't it just as much
the duty of the employer to give
some 'thought to the welfare of his
employes? Is it fair to expect unself-

the business and the interests of the
employer only on the part of the men
below and none of it cm the part of
the man at the top? The head of the

To Destroy Currant Worms.
Hellebore is the proper remedy.
Some sprinkle it on dry. That is
somewhat wasteful. The most effec-
tive method of application is to dis-
solve in scaldifig water and. put a
strong solution, about a spoonful foe
a pail of water. Iii will not do to
apply once only. The eggs seem to
be innumerable and the next day an-
other swarm of the worms will ap-
pear. It is not considered safe to
use Paris green on currant leashesi
there is danger that it may poison
the fruit. If dry hellebore is used. in
abundance it would be better to
spray (freely afterwards with pure
water and thoroughly cleanse the
