In the cradle of the grass lies the dew. Vibrant Is every fluttering leaf. Flowers swing their perfumed censers. Birds sing in crescendo chorus. Life is reborn. The world is new. Morning! Morning by the token of tasks to do; .morning by the token of fresh minds and buoyant bodies; morning by ail the glittering pageant of the future 6een through the ever shifting kaleidoscope of early dreams and aspirations; morning, youth, dreams and a few fears. Morning. J'oon ! The zenith sun pours his flood of heat through burnished gates. Hours ago he drank up the dew on grass and leaf. Creatures seek the shade. Noon! Noon by the token of labors well begun. Each one pauses at his task. Some have sought to go beyond their wont and, while it Is yet noon, are done. Some fear the morrow and are faint thereby. Some strive for things that cannot be. Some fall by the way because there is none close by to cheer. And outraged nature judges some and Issues sentence. Noon! The half is done. Let us gird our loins for what remains. With cheerfulness may we go the even tenor of our way. Tomorrow and tomorrow may come to us, no matter whether or .no. Let us today do the work of today. Sufficient unto tomorrow are the evil and the good of tomorrow. Done or undone, yesterday's duty is no more. Let us work while it Is yet day, for the night cometh when no man can work. Noon. Night! The banners of the sinking sun are furled. Some hand draws down the curtains. The birds have made their evensong, and the flowers are asleep. The outpost stars look down on half world, whose myriad voices are still. Night! Night by the token of work well done. Night and rest! And sleep "suburb of the life elysian, whose portals we call Death." Our little lives have had their morning and their noon. Now ends their little day. Let us li down to pleasant dreams. Night good night! Women say when they can vote they'll elect the man who made Hollister'a Rocky Mountain Tea, President.

One Educational Evil.

The State Indiana Teachers' association is now in session at Indianapolis. What a splendid boon to childhood it would be if these men and women who have charge of the training of Indiana youths would cease discussing for a time new chemistry textbook? and the proper method of suppressing the throwing of paper wads and devote some attention to a plan of co-operation for throwing out, bag and baggage, that most injurious custom of requiring home study for their charges. If the teachers refuse to assist in bringing about this reform in our educational system we suggest that the mothers of the children assume this duty, taking their appeal direct to the boards of education and demanding satisfactory action. School hours are long enough for normal children to devote to their lessons. If the children cannot perform the work expected of them while they are in school there is something radically wrong in the method used in instructing them. Writing to the Ladies' Home Journal an associate superintendent of the board of education of one of the three largest cities in the United States says, on this subject: "Some years ago, while principal of a school, I made the experiment of prohibiting home study in the grades from the first to the fifth inclusive. Children were not permitted even to take their books home. We incurred considerable opposition on the part of the parents, who were so indoctrinated with the idea of home study in their own school days that they protested vigorously against its prohibition. The results of the prohibition of home study were carefully observed, and we were unable to discover any falling off in the work or the progress of the pupils of those grades. Periods for study were provided during school hours. "My personal judgment inclines to the abolition of home study in the lower grades, say, from first to sixth inclusive. This could be accomplished without affecting school progress if certain changes in the school program of exercises were made. "I think that teachers at the present time are inclined to overestimate the effect of home study upon school progress. Much so-called "home study" amounts to little more than the assignment of tasks which are neglected." The same publication, which has been making a vigorous fight for reforms in our educational system, editorially comments on home study as follows: "The schools are now closed for the Christmas holidays. There would be a tremendous jolt felt by the whole futile system, if, before the schools open again after the holidays, each father (or mother) would convince himself of the wisdom of having his child's lessons end with school hours, just as his own business ends with office hours; in other words that there should be no books brought home; no lessons studied in the evenings. Of the physical and mental folly of evening study by a child every parent can easily satisfy himself. Then, having satisfied himself on this point, let him write a simple note to the Principal of his child's school, or to the President of the local Board of Education, saying that he will permit no home study, and that all lessons given the child to do at home will be brought back the next morning untouched. A parent so acting is entirely within his rights as the supporter of the schools; he is acting for the wisest physical and mental interests of his child; and where his example is multiplied by a score, or a hundred, it will compel an entire readjustment of the studies so as to bring them within the school hours, with the result that it would be a question of the survival of the fittest, the elimination of the useless and the introduction of sane methods that would teach a child how to study rather than ask him painfully to dig out a lesson, learn it and repeat it like a parrot. There are further steps, but this is the first. In other words the parent's absolute refusal to let his child study in the evening can be made the most effective entering wedge for a readjustment of a magnificent institution gone lamentably wrong."

What the Cities Need.

A petition is being circulated in Richmond which is to be presented to the legislature, praying for a business form of government for cities. "Business form" of government differs from the "commission form" in the number of responsible officials to administer municipal affairs. Both governing systems appear to be satisfactory to a great degree and each is a great improvement upon the present cumbersome and antiquated form of government, and it is to be hoped the legislature will adopt one or the other. In adopting a new governing system for Indiana cities it is to be hoped the legislature will not make the mistake in fixing the maximum salaries for the more important offices so low that there will be no financial inducement for men best fitted to manage city affairs to seek the positions. No matter how skillfully a new municipal governing law is constructed it will be absolutely worthless if there is no incentive in its provisions to attract efficient business and professional men into the service of the various cities. And any new law changing the form of government for cities should by all means provide a merit system for lesser officials who are now appointed by the mayor or the police board. To secure such an office it should be necessary for the candidate to qualify in a civil service examination, and if successful the officer should be assured his position so long as he proved himself competent to fulfill the duties assumed by him.

SELECTION OF POST MASTER POSTPONED

(Palladium Special) CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind., Dec. 27. Applicants for the postmastership of this place have been informed by Congressman Gray that he will postone the recommendations of an incumbent until next March. It is said here that there will be sore spots when the announcement of the congressman is made. The agreement which all applicants signed not to cherish hard feelings if they were not selected, does not seem to have obviated the trouble the congressman wanted to avoid.

Advice to Those Who Have Lung Trouble Tuberculosis is said to be curable by simply living in the open air and taking an abundance of fresh eggs and milk. Do all you possibly can to add to strength and increase weight; eat wholesome, nourishing food, and breathe the cleanest and pure&t air, and then, if health and strangth do not return, add the tonic and beneficial effects of Eckman's Alterative. Read what it did in this case: 405 E. 5th St., Wilmington, Del. "Gentlemen: In January, 1908, I was taken with hemorrhages of the lungs. My physician, one of the leading practioners, said that it was lung t'.ouble. I took eggs and milk in quantities, but I got very weak. The doctors said I would not gain in weight as long as I stayed in the store; but I kept on working and prayed each day that I might get well. I believe my prayers were answered, for Mr. C. A. Lippincott, my employer (Lippincott & Co., Department Store, 3i to 314 Market street, Wilmington, Del.) had learned of a remedy called Kck-

I man's Alterative that had done great good, and upon his recommendation 1 began taking it at once. This was about June, 1908. I continued faithfully, using no other remedy, and finally noticed the clearing of the lungs. 1 firmly believe Eckman's Alterative saved my life. I sent my spittle later to the State Board of Health to be examined for tuberculosis bacilli, and none were found. My mother died from Consumption when I was about two years old. "I make this statement so that others may learn of the wonderful merits of Eckman's Alterative. I regard my recovery as being miraculous." (Sworn Affidavit) J AS. SQUIRES.

What he wants is buttons enough to keep his clothes in shape. 'Put 'em closer together,' he says, 'so the strain won't all come on two or three buttons.' "So we put them closer together, and the result is that stout people frequently have twice as many buttons on their clothes as fashion calls for." New York Times. An Able Manager. A western senator was telling a story about an able campaign manager. "He is a remarkably economical chap," said the senator. "He can make a dollar go further in a campaign than any man I know. They tell a story about him a story that shows what a manager he is. It seems he went into a cigar store one day to get a light.
