SCHOOL GIRLS.

School girls are proverbially
pretty. Fact is, its a pretty
age-that time in a girls life
when she has all the beauties
of womanhood without the
later lines of care and worry.
But here and there even
among school girls appear
pale drawn faces-a dullness
and lack of freshness which
tells a plain story of thin blood.
Now this is not right. But
SCOTS Emulsion can make
it right. SCOTS Emulsion is
what these pale girls need.
SCOTS Emulsion brings back
the beauty to their faces be.

PLANS OUTLINED.
LIBRARY BOARD WILL HAVE A
ONE STORY BUILDING
FOR LIBRARY.

The library trustees held meeting
last night in Architect Lassiter's office
TO decide on what they wanted in the
way of library building. They con-
cluded they wanted one story affair,
with a basement, and will meet again
when the plans have been begun.
The library building, according to
the plans outlined last night, will have
a basement similar to that Of the Gus
tom house, and which will contain
the furnaces, toilet room, water closets
and similar appurtenances, At the
Broadway side will be an entran'e
over stone stairway leading into a
wide corridor upon each side OF which
will be the reading rooms, one for the
children and another for adults. The
corridor will lead back to the center
of the structure, where the library pro-
per will be in circular room with
elegantly decorated dome. In there
will be racks for the books, and to the
left of the room will be the assembly
room for the trustees Of the library,
while upon the opposite side will be
situated the librarians headquarters.
Leading from the Ninth street side
into the building will be another
entrance, bus into the basement, from
which stairway upon this side leads
up to the first floor above.
At both sides of the corridor, COM
ing in from Broaway, there will be
cloak rooms. From that intended for
the ladies a stairway will lead down
into the basement.

BUT THE RAILROAD OFFICIALS
HAVE NOT BEEN APPRIsED
OF THEIR USE.

Two car loads of telegraph poles
have been received by the L Q. here,
but the local employees have not yet
been appraised of how they will be
used. There has been some talk Of
establishing a telephone line on the
Louisville division, instead Of the tel

this.
