IN THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
District Directory in Demand-Phil-
osophica1 and Religious
Books.

~
The District public library has re-
Gently received requests from several
other large municipal Libraries for
copies of the 1904 District directory.
In making their requests these Ii
braries have always offered in. ex-
charge the 1904 directories of their
home cities The calls for the di-
rectories of the principal cities of the
country are so numerous that it is
greatly to be desired to make such ex-
changes. 1t is not ordinarily prac-
ticable, with the library's limited
funds, to purchase the directories of
other cities, and certainly not their
latest directories. However, in most
cases the next to the last directory
will answer every purpose. In order
to make these exchanges friends of
the library who can spare their last
years local directories are asked to
give them to the library. If desired,
the library will send for copies Of
fered.
An information desk has been es-
tablished in the entrance hall of the
library, with an assistant in charge,
who is to act as readers assistant IL
brarian. There are constant inquir-
les at the return and issue desks
for general information about the
library, help In the use of the cata-
logue, the title or author of certain
book, and other matters, to which the
attendants cannot give sufficient at
tention on account of their other du-
ties. The readers assistant will take
charge of such Inquiries henceforth.
For six or eight months the floor
cases in the open-shelf room have been
occupied by books on scientific sub
lects and German literature. Accord
ing to the policy of rotation, which il
the only method by which all the re-
sources of the library, can be dis
played on open shelves, these subjects
viii now be retired, and works on
philosophy and religion substituted
for the scientific books, while foreign
literature will be represented by works
in French. Although these books are
all grouped under the broad headings
of philosophy, religion and French lit
erature, it may be useful to mention
few OF the subdivisions which occur
in these main classes. They compre-
hend books on psychology, logic, eth
les, theology history of religions, folk
lore, religions Of different races and
countries, Bible study, Bible criticism,
lives of the saints and fathers OF the
church, history of doctrines, lives OF
Christ and Immortality of the future
life. The works in French are those
of the greatest writer's in the folds
of fiction, drama and poetry

EXAMINATION OF RECRUITS
Civilian Physicians No Longer En-
ployed in the War De-
partment.

The work of civilian physicians in
examining recruits for the army has
proved SO unsatisfactory that their
services will be entirely dispensed
with in that capacity hereafter. This
decision is contained in general orders
issued by the war department. The
fees to civilian physicians for this
work have averaged 100000 annually.
Complaints from army officers of the
bad physical condition of recruits have
been increasing, and the governm snt
has been put to great expense in issuing
equipment and paying transportation
for recruits who were discharged before
they had rendered any service because OF
glaring physical defects.
The lack of ofEcers in the medical de-
partment of the army makes it impossi-
BILE to detail such officers with recruiting
officers The plan which will be put into
operation the first of the coming month
will be to have recruits examined thor
oughly for physical defects by recruit
ing officers, who will follow strictly the
manual of the army. On acceptance, the
recruit will be sent to the nearest depot
where he will be put through rigid
medical examination by the regular
post surgeon. No equipment will be is
sued to him until he has passed this ex-
animation, and the only expense the gov
ernment will have been put to in case
of rejection will be the cost of trans
portation from the recruiting station to
the post.
Another advantage to the government
in the proposed method will be the
avoidance of liability for pension. I'm
der the present system recruit passed
by physician on enlistment, though he
may be rejected by the post surgeon
without service, has prima facie claim
for a pension, having been sworn into
the service after medical examination.
Efforts are to be made at the next session
of congress to provide for additional Of
ficers in the medical corps.
The reason given for the unsatisfac-
tory manner in which civilian physi-
clans have done their work for the army
is that their examination of men for
enlistment requires special training,
gained only from experience. Recruit
ing officers move from town to town.
and in each place engage physician for
the work. This does not permit the
necessary experience TO be gained

DISTRESS AFTER MEALS
Sure Sign That Or. Williams Pink PlIls
Are Needed to Tone Up the
Digestive Organs.

Loss of appetite, distress after eating.
vhortness of breath, feeling OF utter
weakness-these are symptoms that are
familiar to most sufferers from stomach
trouble. Too often the ordinary doctors
treatment serves but to weaken the dis
eased organs.
The new tonic method Of treating dis
orders of this kind does not aim to do the
work of the stomach, does not demand
that the food be pre-digested, but builds
up the weakened organs, SO that they can
do the work that nature intended.
Mrs. L.O Law, of No. 324 North street.
Horton, Kansas, says I'm 1897, while
we were living OH farm III this neigh.
borhood, became generally debilitated
as the result of overwork. had serious
indigestion, lost my appetite, suffered
from a sense of suffocation and from OBJ
struction of the circulation, so that artl-
fetal means had to be used to restore it..
After suffering for months without find
ing any relief, I tried a box of DIR. Will
Hams Pink Pills Of which had read in
q newspaper. The first few boxes made
me lots better, and after using the third
box / felt entirely well.
II am now in excellent health and am
able not only to take care of my house
int also to assist my husband in store
which he has lately taken. Dr.Williams'
pink Pills cured me and can recon-
,nend them. They are so simple, SO
easily taken and so prompt in their ac-
6ion."
Remember DR.. Williams Pink Pills do
not act OH the bowels. They make new
blood and restore shattered nerves. In
this way they carry health and vigor to
pvery organ and fiber of the body. They
are sold by all druggists or will be sent,
postpaid, on receipt Of price, 80 cents per
box; six boxes for $2.50, by the DIR. VIII

NEW GOVERNMENT PAYDAY
Those Employed in the District
Are Only Slightly Affected
by the Ruling.

knowing that policemen and other
district employees, whose regular
monthly payday has either arrived or
is pending, will be greatly concerned
to know the final decision of the COM
missioners in reference to the recent
order issued by the comptroller OF the
treasury, Commissioner West this
morning issued the following formal
statement to cover the matter and to
explain all details:
"The district commissioners have
formally received from the secretary
of the treasury copy OF the recent
circular letter of the comptroller OF
the treasury, concerning new methods
of payment, and Commissioner West
has had conference with Judge
Tracewell in regard to the problem
suggested by that circular. The ad-
ministration of municipal affairs is
quite different from the payments OF
departmental employees, but the order
of the treasury department will be car
ried out with the least possible incon-
venience or delay to district employees.
ARRANGEMENTS have been made
whereby checks and payrolls will go
through the auditors Office for prelim-
mary examination between the goth OF
each month and the LIST of the succeed
/ ing month, the final certifcation be-
ing made on the first day of the month
when the checks which have been pre-
pared and signed will be ready for de-
livery. 1t is expected that by this
arrangement school teachers and fire.
men will be paid on the 1st of the
month.
"The army of per diem employees
who have heretofore been paid on the
Sd and 14th of the month will now be
paid on the 4th and 18th. All payrolls
will have attached to them the certif-
Gates required by the comptroller Of
the treasury There are few minor
changes which will be made without
any trouble"
