Capital and Labor To the Villlorof the Rvrnlna TuMIe Lcdoer: Hlr Although I am not u member of tho so-called "capitalistic class," nor am t a labor union man, yet let me take a little of your vnluablo time and somo of thn gen erously ottered space In your paper to set forth a few Ideas on tho present attltudo be tween tho laborer and his employer. Tho economic laws affecting wages should now bo well known to anybody Interested In tho subject and need no amplification. It only should bo romemlwrod that natural laws. In which category tho cconomlo laws oro classified, cannot lie violated. They will work out destiny ln accordance to their own regulation. Somo reductions In Iwth prices and wages iro therefore virtually foreor dained. It Is useless to deny this, although It Is commendablo that labor Is, as a wliolo, flfhtlng to maintain and In somo cases to lulso the present scato of wages. Labor Is honest ln doing this, ai tho averago work Inciium of today does not receive hat Is considered by experts to be a "living wage." Labor la following lto bfst guldanco In fighting for higher pay. Capital is obeying tho laws of economics ln fighting for lower rates of pay. There Is a Bolutlon. That Ilea In education. The capitalist must learn tho human aIuo of his employo and the cconomlo value of hi trained employo. The laborer must learn that there Is a small distance between himself Bhd th capitalist. The majority of the present eMiltallsta were, at one lime, laborers. They today look down upon the laborer because of hi elovantlneM of mind and body, It Is for the laborer lo Imrn thi value of cleanliness of mind and body. Cleanliness and alertness will lead to greater striving toward the good of Ifo and will teach the principles ot being a man, not a slave. It Is up to hint O. N. NELSON. Philadelphia, July B, 1021.

Kills Flies by the Roomful SUPPOSE there were 106 flies swarming around your kitchen light ing on the meat platter,buzzing near the milk pitcher and getting mired on a freshly frosted cake. Suppose, inside of five min utes every one of the 106 flies was dead and you merely had to sweep them up in a dust pan. Wouldn't you say "Well, this is a miracle!" When Flyosan is well sprayed into the air of a room every fly dies as if by magic inside of five minutes. Flies and Flyosan are sworn enemies. A can of Flyosan and an ordinary inexpensive sprayer are all you need. Getting rid ffigggS ft f jESsiaMsMSaCswS. ' V v ,7m - -J of flies is as easy as waving a feather duster. Most remarkable of all, Flyosan is harmless to every thing except insects. Even if you drank it, it would not harm you, but we do not recom mend spraying Flyosan di rectly at foods, because it would slightly alter their flavor. ) You will find the odor of Flyosan pleasantly aromatic, Flyosan, used every day or so, will keep your kitchen and dining room free from the dangerous disease carry ing flies. Flyosan leaves no tell-tale traces, no lingering odor, no muss to clean up except sweeping up the dead flies.
