NO TIME IS LOST IN
SORTING MAIL HERE
Superintendent Johnson Elk
plains How New Order
Saves Much Expense.
USING UP THE DEAD TIME

By sorting more through mails in
Council Bluffs mail terminal and less
on railway postofices in transit Su-
perintendent Johnston Of the railway
mail service says that much money
will be saved for Uncle Sam. This
changed system OF handling through
mail will be put into effect March 10
on some of the Portland mail and has
already been adopted on some of the
other Pacific coast mail.
"The new plan will be used only
with such mail as will not be delayed
as result" Superintendent Johnston
says. in no case will speed OF the
mails be sacrificed in order to ef-
feet economy.
I'VE simply take advantage Of dead
time. Some western mail that fails
to make close train connections lies
in the Council Bluffs terminal for a
number of hours before the next train
departs. Formerly all western mail
was sorted in transit west of here,
but now the mail that has to lie over
here awhile between trains will be
sorted at the local terminal, as it can
be done cheaper that way than while
in transit. ..-.,..

nearly 100 rings, many Ct them set

opened to allow several women to

Princess COLA practiced all the
pomp and ceremony that on" of her
position was accustomed TO. She had
a flivver, which she used to call upon
patrons ana collect offerings for the
sacrifice. She was not partial what
she offered to the Hindu spirits. Silk
dresses, rugs, tapestries and the like
served equally as we'll as jewelry and
money.
During the six months that she and
her husband are said to have worked
in the city, it is estimated that they
collected jewelry worth about $l0,-
900. Police say this is exclusive Of
money taken in.

Health Talks
(By DR.. Burhorn)


The cause of rheumatism has
been subject Of discussion from
the earliest time, and while Chiro-
practic does not deny the presence
Of foreign ro-organisms in the
tissues Of the rheumatic person,
or the acid condition of the sweat
and urine, its claim is that these
are only secondary causes, and
that the true etiology of the
disease is to be looked for else
where.
Foreign micro-organism always
gather where there is a call for
their service; they are the scav-
engers of nature, and are found
only where there is an inflamma-
tory condition or a breaking down
of the tissues of the body. This
would account for the fact that
Investigators have found not one
particular kind, but many varieties
Of these little micro organism in
different cases of rheumatism.
Neither do these micro-organism
produce the acids that are always
present in cases of true rheuma-
tism, but on the contrary, they
are drawn to the painful area by
the presence of the inflammatory
condition which is produced in
part by the acids that are de-
posted in the tissues.
Chiropractic has proven that
rheumatism is caused by nerve
pressure; by carefully palpating
the spine Of a patient so afflicted,
locating the displaced or sublux-
ated vertebrae, and adjusting them
back to normal position, thereby
releasing the infringement or
nerve pressure, thus allowing
free and uninterrupted transmits
sion of nerve force or mental i'm
pulse access to the affected part
or parts, which restores the pa
tient to normal through natures
ways.
A multitude Of cases are on rec
ord who, have obtained complete
and permanent relief from rheu-
matism as well as diseases of the
stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels,
headache, insomnia, nervousness,
backaches, etc.

Ments are $1.00.

War Tax Increases
The Cost Of Flags
And Flagstaffs

New York, March 3.--Flag dealers
say that the great demand for "Old
Glory" since the beginning Of Ger
many's unrestricted submarine war
fare has caused temporary shortage
OF supply and increased prices Is pei
cent. Wooden and stee' flag poles
also cost from oi.e-third to one>hali
more than year ago.
The increase in flag prices is
ascribed, first, to the tremendous de-
mand; second, to the scarcity of dye
stuffs, and third, to the increase in
cost of material.
The flag factories are working day
and night shifts. Calls for more
flags, dealers say, are coming from
all parts of the country.

SCHOOL RECESS

Pulling a Little Girls Hair is
No Longer a Little Boys
Sport.
ORDER is PUPILS PRIDE
By A. r. GROH.


REEcessl Do you remember tina
period in your school days: 1t wa
time when bedlaY reisned on til
school grounds, when little boy
pulled little Urls hair and other littl
boys pounded each Others noses.
Today, in Omaha schools, they cal
it "intermission" and it is a period o
orderliness. l had the pleasure o
witnessing it the other day down a
the South Central school.
At 2:l0 p. m, Morris Mclaughlin
tiptoed from the eighth grade room
TO the principals Office ard put Z
record on the Victrola. He looked
carefully at the clock and pressed ar
electric gong.
Then, out into TIE hall marched
little boys and girls, ha..ds behind
backs and keeping step to In Lilac
Time on the Victrola. The lower
grades Started fret. And when these
had had their time, the higher grades
Up one side of the hall and down the
other, always keeping 10 the right,
they marched, evidently enjoying it
thoroughly.
Many Excuse Mes"
Miss Frances Gross the principal,
and | stood and reviewed the 375
pupils. | was surprised at the Tex
cuse mes" Miss Gross failed to
liar one smiling littl" pig-tailed girl
and the little girl came back and re-
peated her excuse me-" whereupon
we said certainly" in our best form
and she went happily on her way.
One colored boy said, pardon me"
We pardoned him.
A rosy-cheeked 7-year.old boy
beamed up at Miss Cross and whis-
pered, Hello, Miss Gross"
She put her srm arorn the little
fellows neck and stopped him.
This is CT ar.is Saun'ers," she
said. Who's boy afe you, Charlie"
Miss Cross" gfinned Charlie.
She stopped little colored boy,
wearing a sweater, and told me \he
was Oliver"
How last can you run, Oliver"
she asked. ....
Seven seconds" said. Oliver proud
~, and | expressed amazement at this
wonderful speed.
Shoe Shine Squad.
Sam Samuelson came into view,
his shoes shining like two headlights.
Miss Gross told me that ten boys
have had shiny shoes every day
since February-5, but Sans outshine
all the rest.
A grinning youth in spectacles was
picked from the passing line and in
PRODUCED as George Snyder.
What do you do, George?P asked
Miss Gross.
Ring the BELL" said George,
proudly.
yes. sir" said the principal.
George lives near by and he comes
over at $3.50 every morning so as to
ring the bell il the regular boy doesn't
get here in time"
Certain boys are appointed each
week to ring the morning and alter
non bells and certain others to play
the Victrola and sound the gongs for
iniermission. These appointments
are highly priced and the responsible
ties carried out with boyish earnest
ness.
1t is a pleasing change from the
times when boys and teachers were
natural enemies.
