This being Ladies Week on the
Record, it has been suggested
that something be said about the
Ladies Library enterprise, which
has so recently eliminated, we
may not say into perfection, at
least enough has been accom-
plished with the completion OF
our new building to enable us to
turn it over to the city govern
ment who, with an advisory
board of ladies, who will hereaf-
'er manage it. And while we
have labored long and patiently.
encountering many discourage
nents-some of our co-workers
having removed to other fields,
while others have been called to
rest, we are gratihed at what has
been accomplished. For, when
we look at our new, modern
building, so commodious, so neat,
so well lighted and ventilated,
and in fact so complete and ap-
propr.ate in every respect, and
one not only admired for its beau
ty but appreciated and so well
patronized by both home and
transient people, who go there to
read and obtain various informa-
ton from our splendid assortment
of books-both historical and sta
tistical-as well as the great
number of books taken out as
compared with that OF other cit
les, which some of our ladies
have noticed and commented up
on. And especially the city OF
Pueblo, more than six times the
population Of Canon City and
having 10000 volumes in her IL
brary, sent out 5000 books dur
ing the month OF February last.
The city of Winona with a popu-
lation of 10000 people has well
equipped building and 2I,ooo vol
umes, has monthly distribution
of 5000 books and a daily attend
ance of so people. Our own lit
tie city with say $500 people, 4,
500 books in our library, sent out
in February A,546 books, had an
average attendance of so people
AS to the class Of our books,
we may say that visitors, who
have examined the books in other
libraries throughout the country,
congratulate us upon our choice
nd popular selection, especially
the reference library and also
Dur periodicals. And in this con-
nection we should not forget to
mention some good people who
have contributed to this feature.

In summer considerably less meat and that OF

Preserved fruits and rich spced buildings are
more valuable winter food than fresh fruits. which

necessary winter, as the human system needs

THE NERVOUS CHILD.

Children whose nerves not under perfect con-

restless during the night stand especially in need
Of quietng bedtime influences and the utmost care
must be taken at all times to avoid playing upon
their emotions. Such children should never be in

allay It. In this connection It IS TO be noted that
unwise indulgence is every whit as harmful as
undue severity. and it is in the former direction
that good natured but unintelligent attendant is
most likely TO err. 1t is not enough that nervous

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Having read with great interest the article
on "Insidious Work Of Mormons' published re-
Gently in The Tribune and described by the Rev.
Duncan ]. Mcmillan. 1 cannot refrain from writ
ing few words to express my dread Of having
that debasing religion extend in beloved coun-
try. I have recently been reading the letters of
family written during the Civil War and printed
for the children of those who took active part.
and it fills my mind with horror to think that all
the suffering and the lives that lost and the
money spent should all have been In vain, if the
our country. To think of man with wives
and forty-three children having the audaciy to go
about our free country lecturing! Here in the
East man IS prosecuted, he should be, for
having two wives. May God have mercy on US
and arouse the men in Congress and open their
blind eyes before it is too late TO save our land
from the spreading of such a leprosy.
