that the very best medicine for restoring
the tired out nervous system to healthy
vigor is Electric Bitters. This medicine

aids these organs in throwing off i'm
purities in the blood. Electric Bitters
improves the appetite, aids digestion,
and is pronounced by those who have
tried it as the very best blood purifier
and nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for SOC.

Young America Too Suspicious 20
Have City Library Department

Topeka children are very certain they
know what they want to read ana they
are not going to be imposed upon, Dy
having Sunday school books, as they
call them, placed temptingly before
them when they wish to read abou the
Boy Broker or the hairbreadth es-
capes Of some scout of fiction
Some time ago Mrs. Evelyn Lewis,
the librarian of the city library, ar
ranged to have the best children $
books kept in a moving stack apart
from the rest, and the stack moved into
the west room on the first floor in order
that children who wanted books might
inspect them and choose from the case
instead of from the catalogue All the
Juvenile books were not placed on the
rack for there was not room enough for
all.
one of the assistants in the library
was given charge of the room ana as
sisted the young readers in selecting
their books. The plan has been tried IN
Philadelphia with great success and the
children's branch of the Quaker City
public library has over 2,400 patrons;
The young America OF Iopeka
looked at the matter in different
light. The books placed within easy
reach We're too tame. Back behind the
railing where stacks and stacks OF
books are kept the young reader be
lieved there We're different books The
young girls believed that real love stor-
les could be found there and the boys
believed that the tales of daring and
narrow escapes were a little more thrill
ling if they came from the main part of
the library
The children refused to patronize the
Juvenile room" and SO the moving case
has been taken back to the main part
of the stack room and. the children are
allowed to go around the railing and
look the books over and they are salts
fed.
I'VE hope to have a children's room
some time said Mrs. Lewis. I'VE
must have more room and eventually
the west room on the first floor must
be used as a stack room and it is like
ly that the children's books may be
placed there"
part known as Library hall'' will be
used as a reading room and art gal
Iery, which will give more room for the
book stacks.
