sumner pays 10 cents for cost the mid.
dleman but 3iA cents. The railroads
get about 11s cents. The middleman
gets five cents for every quart he
sells. Yet, when it is suggested to
the average English farmer that he
organize an economical method of
distribution instead of allowing this
to be done by the middleman, he re-
ceives the suggestion with suspicion,
fearing an ingenious plot to find

RHEUMATISM IS A

But 1t Must Be Treated in the
Right Way TO Secure Such
Results as This Kansas
Case Shows.

Once sufferer from rheumatism, al
ways a sufferer from rheumatism can
no longer be said of the victims OF this
painful disease. At least it cannot be
said OF those patients who have given
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie thorough trial. These pills DO the
only possible thing that can give per-
nanent cure III rheumatism: they build
up the greatly thinned blood and enable
it to rid itself ct the rheumatic poisons.
More than this they so purify and
strengthen the blood thatit can Success
fully fight of q return OF the disease
How much better this method is than
the old way OF trying siraply fer tenn

asked in many of the higher circles
of Berlin. There seems to be con.

soon. In position where, next to the

Branches Of the keokuk Public Ii
brary to be Placed in Each School
Building for the Grade
Pupils to Use.
MANY BENEFITS IN PLAN.
The People Of the Sections Of the,
City More Distant From Library
viii Have Better oppor-
tunitles to Read.

The public utility OF the Keokuk IL
brary is to be greatly extended at
once by establishing branches in the
schools Of Keokuk. This was decid-
ed and the details Of administration
ordered worked out by a committed
at the regular meeting of the board Of |
library trustees last night
: The plan involves placing books in
each school adapted for the use of
the children of the fourth to eighth
grades. Each principal will act as
the representative of the library for,
this purpose and will attend TO the cir
culation of the books and report to
the librarian monthly.
This action is especially valuable
70 the residents Of the sections Of the
Lincoln schools. Now, the young
people of the first and second wards
patronize the library good deal, but
the children Of the third, fourth, fifth,
and sixth ward find 1t practically i'm
possible to patronize the library after
school hours anc consequently. do not
get many books.
Great Benefits to The Children.
AS soon as the books can be. bought
and installed, school children will get
books at each school on any school
day-this practically moves the juve-
nile part of the Keokuk public library
close to the homes of the people. This
is without charging the present stat
us at the library.
1t is expected that the greatest good
will come from better supervision of
the kind of books the children will
read Now, they are apt to take out
of the library books chosen by no
fixed rule-and to skim through
them rapidly. This makes them skim
everything in print, including their
school books. instead of really read
ing and digesting them. The books in
the schools will be chosen with spec.
ial reference to their real value; the
|. teachers will stimulate their use by
e C. definite system-when the class is
studying the geography of Germany.
the pupils will be led to read books
On the life and customs Of Germany,
for instance, and this Is only one ex.
ample of many of correlating the use
of library books with school work.
Plan Works Well Elsewhere.
Superintendent Aldrich, the princi
pals and teachers, have all taken great
interest in the new public library feat
ure. They have volunteered thei1
services gratis for whatever tasks the
plan may impose upon them withou
making expense to the library trus
tees.
This plan Is IN use In many citiei
the size Of Keokuk and larger and ha.
been brought TO high state Of dcvel
opement in Davenport, for one place
The circulation among the schoo
children In one year was over $4,000
books, which shows what the children
think OF II.
One advantage OF this plan her,
will be that there will be no necessit,
for children to be on the streets o
evenings in order to get to the librar,
and back.
1t will be several weeks before tn
books can be installed ready for use
but the work will be done as rapid
as possible.

Atlas and His Load.

Strictly speaking, atlas is mis-
homer for map book. since it was
not the world, but the heavens, that
the ''atlas" of mythology upheld. Mer-
Gator, the famous Dutch geographer.
who made globes for Emperor Charles
Y. of Germany, was the first to use
the name in this connection, choosing
it as Il convenient and in some sort an
appropriate title, because Atlas, the
demigod, figures with world upon his
shoulders as frontispiece Of some
early works on geography.
Atlas, it was said, made war witt,
other Titans upon Zeus and, being
conquered, was condemned to bear
heaven upon his head and hands. Lat
er tradition represented him as a man
changed by means Of Medusa's head
into mountain, upon which rested
heaven and all its stars.
In any case, Atlas was always asso-
ciated with heavy burden strongly
borne. Thus Shakespeare makes War
wick say to Gloucester:
Thou art no Atlas for SO great n weight.
1t is not difficult to see how by al
association Of ideas this came to be
chosen as the name for Il book Of
maps which upholds and exhibits tC
