A PLEA.
The desire to make others happy at
: this joyous season should move you
not to do your Christmas shopping
after the middle of December, and not
to shop In theevenlng.
Because for thousands of men, wo
men and children tho hollduy season
. tius come to mean chiefly weariness
due to excessive .work, followed often
by Illness, and still oftener by an en
forced holiday without pay, a bitter
Inversion, of tho': order of holiday
cheer; .
, And because, aside from the em
ployees visible In the" stores, there If
another army of workers, directly af
fected by - the Christmas ' rush the
change-makers, bundle-wrappers, the
packers, drivers and delivery boys.
. The work of the last-named foui
: groups continues for many hours af
. ter the stores are closed; and the bit
ter hardships suffered by the delivery
boys In the form of hunegr, .'old,
sleeplessness and consequent Illness
constitute, year after year, 'a tragedy
; of the Christmas season.
Shoppers can prevent all this by
buying early In the month of Decem
ber, and enrly In tho day. It Is nt the
merchants who wish the opening of
the stores In the evening, but their cus
tomers who buy late In thoimonth. and
late In the dny. If you buy your
Christmas candy at leant "a week be
fore Christmas, you will relieve the
girls In the candy factories and stores
of some of the fatigue and exhaustion
they suffered Inst year on account of.
':SiH Work. ',...!.; ;i.i3;i;;
f Let Ua keep what is good In thf
Christmas festival. Let us be quit;?
sure that for thoxe who serve tn the
Stores Christmas may bo a reason of
peace on earth, good will to men.

' There is every reason to believe that
when Presldeut-elect Taft takes hi;
eat he will enter Upon his duties ab
solutely 'free from " alJ political
pledges and will rule with a fearlens
hand. This Is exactly what the voters
thought on election day, or they would
not hav Riven him their support.
Barkus Is willing, Mr, Bryan says
that he Is willing to make another
great personal sacrifice In 1912 If tin
party only insists. There nre few whi
would be warranted In saying that he
will not again be the cundidnte.
Kmperor William finally got his ear
to the ground and took notlee of tin
demands of the people. He Is not
much of a politician, Judged from th.-
American standard, or he would never
have been cornered In the way he was.
Retrenchment in- city expenses Iv
the order of the day.

D. M. HUNT, La Grande
Osu-opuihy for Slngfrs.
The following is taken from a let
ter written by an osteopath:
'I must tell you about some recent
experiences among a number of great
artists. 1 have been assisting In a
musical festival here an affair of
great proportion In which the Sym
phony orchestra of Pittsburg (58) men
with Emll Paur, director and Madam
Gadskl, Madam Llnne (mezzo sopra
no), Holmes Cowper (America's great
est tenor) and M. Bae'rensfeln of Nu
remberg, Germany (bass) partici
pated. On the n'hgt of the appearance
of Gadskl her voice became hoarse and
I was called off the stage to treat her.
After the performance" her manager
naked me to accompany them to her
private car, whore I gave her another
treatment. Bnerrteln'also asked me
to call at his hotel after I finished my
ivork with Gadskl. He Is still In the
city nnd tnking regular treatment. But
the remarkable thing was the tact, that
all Cowper, Baerensteln and Llnne
except Gadskl were patrons you might
say of osteopathy. I think it Is a mat
ter worthy of publicity that these great
singers have found in Osteopathy a
means for the relief of their throats
surpassing that of anything offered by
any other system. It simply shows
that these great artists 'from sheer
force of necessity have selected the
one treatment that not only appeals
to common sense, but meets the de
mands of their professional life,"
