So democratic that at one time he in

his official person is begged him not to
occupy such accessible seats. fearing the
possibility of undesired interruption Of
his enjoyment through the overpowering
curiosity and admiration of strangers un-

HUNKER'S CORNER DELICHTS,

No entertainment given in recent
years at Bethany Baptist Church drew
out quite so large a crowd as that
which attended the playlet. "Hunker's
Corner" given in the chapel Thursday
evening by the Teachers Training
Bible Band. Every seat was occupied
and many stood.
The characters we're well taken.
The costumes were either very pretty
or very funny and the entire playlet
was put on in finished style. To speak
OF the good work Of a few would be to
ulscredit the equally clever playing OF
the rest for all those in the cast
played their parts splendidly.
The playlet was staged under the
direction of Miss Ida Little, teacher of
the Teachers Training Bible Band.
and the players were very carefully
/ drilled by her She was showered
/ with praise for the success OF the
work, as also were the players.
Those who took part were.

It's Easy - If You Know DIR.
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret OF keeping young is to
feel young-to do this you must watch
your liver and bowels-theres no need
OF having a sallow compleXion-dark
rings under your eyes-pimples-a bill
lious look in your face-dull eyes with no
sparkle.
Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent
OF all sickness comes from inactive bowels
and liver.
Dr. Edwards, a well-known physician in
Ohio, perfected a vegetable compound
mixed with olive oil to act on the liver and
bowels, which he gave TO his patients for
years.
Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets. the substi-
tute for calomel, are gentle in their action,
yet always effective.
They bring about that exuberance OF
spirit, that natural buoyancy which should
be enjoyed by everyone, by toning up the

BETTER EQUIPPED
TO HANDLE MAIL

Notwithstanding that indications all
point to a very busy period during the
holidays for the railroads this year.
especially in the handling OF mail and
parcel post cars for the government
Wilmington railroad officials say that
they feel confident that the roads this
year will be able to handle almost
double the number Of packages han
died last year with little more trou-
bic or delay. They base their opinion
on the fact that during the past year
railroads have expended large sums
of money in remodeling all cars to fa-
cilitate the handling of larger par
cells.
Doors have been made larger.
package bins in the cars have been
differently arranged. and many other
details that have an advantage over
the old methods of handling the mail
and parcel post packages have been
effected.
With the increasing volume OF par
eel post traffic and the enlarging Of
packages, last year the railroads were
at a big disadvantage in handling the
business under the old method.
Trains were delayed in loading and
unloading through the small doors.
and the loss sustained by the delay
of trains was great Many of tho
larger mail cars have been equipped
with two large doors on either side in
order TO provide facilities for quick
loading and unloading OF packages.
While the expenditures on the part
of tha railroads have reached millions
of dollars in remodeling the equipment
local officials claim that the roads will
benefit by it in the future, owing to
the fact that the loss I'm delays and
damage to packages on account Of the
inadequate facilities would run up year
by year until the cost to the railroad
would reach a great sum.
Local postal officials engaged in
the packages from the cars
say that the remodeled equipment is
q big advantage over the old and
that they win be able TO do their
work more readily.
