Early Shopping and MAILING.

Omaha Bee: The incessant cam
paign for early Christmas shopping
has not gone on all these years with
out some results, and yet the postal
service feels the effects of a serious
congestion every year The men who
handle the mail are buried under ava.
lanches of belated Santa Claus matter
for days, having to work desperately
hard and put In a great deal Of over
time in trying to keep up with their
task. This year, unless the people re-
member to mail their early shopping
presents early, the postal mans bur
den is apt to be heavier than ever be.
cause Of the popularity of the extra
facility afforded in the parcel post
So 1t seems but fair that a word be
uttered in behalf of the postoffice EN-
ployes, stationary as well as on trains.
They, like the clerks In the stores
are entitled to consideration at such
a time. Their lot might be lightened
by sending Christmas gifts some time
ahead and marking on the packages,
do not open till Christmas" That
might at least satisfy the conscience
of the giyer, make better service pos
sib1e and answer every other legiti-
mate purpose, too.
Suppose we try it, and thus express
the Christmas spirit.

DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets

Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets the
substitute for calomel--are mild but
sure laxative, and their effect on the
liver Is almost instantaneous. They
are the result of Dr. Edwards deter

complaints with calomel. His efforts
to Danish it brought out these little
oliye-colored tablets These pleasant
little tablets do the good that calomel
does but have no bad after effects.
They don't injure the teeth like strong
liquids or calomel They take hold OF
the trouble and quickly correct It, Why
cure the liver at the expense of the
teeth?. Calomel sometimes plays
havoc with the gums. So do strong
liquids. It is best not to take calomel,
but to let DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets

Don't Spoon the Grape Seeds.

Prof. D. A. Ellsworth of Emporia at
tended the meeting of the state teach
ers association in Topeka last week
and his enjoyment of the helpful event
was spoiled by an awful person who
sat across from him at the breakfast
table. Professor Ellsworth writes:
The man was SNUG to begin with
and had oyster jowls. He kept one jaw
on the soft pedal and tried to chant
his words. And, with all that he
spooned the grape seeds. He had a
large bunch, too. He picked off the
grapes with his thumb and first finger
That was not so bad, because you
thought you were through with that
grape. But when he took up his
spoon, crooked his small finger and re-
moved the grape seeds. one could not
keep the coil out of his temper. And
when he unloaded those seeds-four,
arn't there?-and laid that spoon
down in the point marked x, the
spleen gave way. At the thirteenth
grape denied the existence of mat
ter. At the twentieth, stood for HUI
erta and the murder of Madero. And
grape by grape, | questioned the Trim
ity, demanded art for the nudes sake,
nominated Sulzer for president in
1916, and on the fortieth went the
whole mad length and demanded tango
steps and split skirts for bow legged
men. After the sixtieth grape can
only recall Darwin's name, and several
attempts on my part to climb vine
on the wall paper. hope you may
never be called upon to witness such
human film. 1t cost me my interest
in the arbocult and junked the princi-
pies Of a lifetime. | have stood for
peas on a knife and even gravy on
kraut. / have listened to soup and sat
at limburger. But in all the course of
a full fed life, never gave way at
any point in the menuesque as did
yesterday in Topeka. But what right
had he to spoon the grape seeds?

SAVING TINE in EDUCATION.

There is waste of time of at least
two years in the present plan of
American education. This is the con.
clusion reached by a committee OF
prominent educators In a report on
Economy Of Time in Education" just
issued by the United States Bureau
of Education.
This conclusion follows an investi-
CATION lasting nearly ten years by q
committee OF the National Educa-
tional association, of which President
James H. Baker, Of the University OF
Colorado, is chairman. The commit
tee have endeavored to form plan
that would do away with the two-year
loss. They propose that six years be
assigned to the elementary school In
stead OF eight as at present; that the
high school period be from age IL to
1s, divided into two parts, OF four and
two years each; that college work
extend from 10 to 20, or 16 to 20, ac-
cording to the method Of distributing
the last two secondary years; and
that graduate or professional work
at university cover the years from
go to "a. This would enable boys AMI
girls to get ample vocational training
after the age Of IL; 1t would enable
those who go on to college to get
through their college work at the age
OF 20; and 1t would save the profess
sionaa man from having to wait until
27 to start his professional career
The report insists that the prevent
elementary course Is too long; that
the ground now covered In eight years
can be covered juet as efficiently In
SIX, allowing secondary work to begin
at the age OF IL. To save on elemen-
tary schooling they urge: Choose
the most important subjects and the
most Important topics; make dis
tinctton between firat-rate facts and
principles and tenth-rate. Confine the
period of elementary education to
mastering the tools OF education. In
clude the last two years Of the pres
emf elementary school in the period
Of secondary education and begin
the study OF foreign language, elemen
tary algebra, constructive geometry
elem entary science, and history two
years earlier than at present"
Emphasis is laid on the necessity
OF concentrating on a few valuable
studies: 'fThe great mistake OF oul
education is to suppose that quantity
and strain constitute education. Edu
cation Is a question Of doing few
essential things well and without
over-strain The college has comm t
ted a grevious mistake in demanding
even more in quantity rather than II
quality produced under conditions o
healthy normal Development

He SAFETY FIRST MOVEMENT.

THE SAFETY FIRST MOVEMENT.
In the United States $4,000 work
ers were killed in accidents last year,
while 100000 were injured. The loss
to the Industrial world through the
killing of a worker every fifteen min
utes and the manning of worker
every sixteen seconds is figured at
$3.50, 00O, 900 year. It is estimated,
moreover, that death and disability
due to occupational diseases cause a
further economic loss Of $4,000, 600
yearly. No wonder the world OF In
dustry is putting forth vigorous Ell
forts on the side Of accident proven
ton. Good results are reported. For
instance, in the last ten years
accidents in a middle west steel plant
which employees 5000 men have bean
reduced 70 per cent and In two
years great railroad corporation
has reduced by % per cent the num-
Der OF fatalities on its lines. But
there is room for improvement-vast
room. indeed. And the workers must
do their share. the same as the gen.
eral public, by exercising common
care and caution to prevent accidents.
This does not mean to absolve en-
ployers from blame, for 1t Is the duty
OF every employer to do his share
for the safety Of his employees; and
this covers not only machinery hui
dangers from fire and other forms Of
accident that are preventable by eau
ton. The safety first campaign Is
a good campaign, and all sides are
bound to aid in It's furtherance.

That man is great, and he alone,
Who serves a greatness not his own,
For neither praise nor pelf;
Content to know, and be unknown;
Whole in himself.
Strong is that man, he only strong,
To those we'll ordered will belong,
For service and delight,
All powers that in the face of wrong,
Establish Right
And free is he, and only he,
Who, from his tyrant passions free,
BY Fortune undismayed,
Hath power upon himself, to be
BY himself obeyed.

Beneath the sun and moon he fare,
He cannot fare amiss,
Great Nature hath him In her care,
Her cause is his.
