account for Peters strange behavior,

his way as best he could through the

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there Is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Medicine is taken internally and
acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Sur
faces of the System thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, giving the
patient strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have SO much

earnest desire of the University au-

the registration be larger than ever
before.

Does anyone suppose he would
be spending his time this way,
if he did not find it good for his
business?
Still another firm, ready to
put it's employees on profit
sharing basis, sent to the pub
lic library to find how other
profit sharing schemes have
worked out. Another, wanting
to advertise it's special brand of
breakfast food, found in the IL
brary the locations of all the
grocery stores in the United
States. This particular library
had equipped itself with a vol
ume giving just such data, saw
ing this firm the great expense
of making for itself such sur
vey.
One of the largest cigar manu-
featuring companies in the world
sent to the public library for his
tories of the tobacco industry in
the United States, to be used IN
a special advertisement. The IL
brary furnished not only books
and magazine articles on the
subject, but illustrations for the
booklet as well.
Importers and exporters, prof
iting by the experience of those
who have found what these in
stitutions can do for. them, use
the public libraries for statistics
and directories, laws of foreign
countries and steamship routes.
Your broker, planning to lend
money to foreign cities, goes to
the library to find the size of
the cities in question, their
municipal debts and various 9th
er information regarding them.
Your man selling motorcycles,
makes a trip to his library to
find the number Of young me-
chanics in the United States be-
tween the ages of so and so, who
are unmarried, because expert
ence teaches him that men of
this age and station buy more
motorcycles than other men,

THE NEEDS OF WAR.

There are, for the war on land,
two needs to be met. First, we
should at the earliest moment
get a force with which we can
strike hard at Germany; for un-
der the circumstances there is
no immediate need of merely de-
fensive measures so far as con-
Germs the army. Second, we
should take advantage of the
fact that public interest is
aroused and introduce the prin-
ciple of universal military train
ing and service.
This is for the future the vital
need, by far the most impor-
tant; but for the current year
it would not be sufficient. So
far from interfering with one
another the needs can be met by
courses Of action which will be
mutually helpful. The law for
the immediate beginning of the
system Of universal obligatory
training and service (along the
general lines of Senator Cham
berlain's billy should at once be
enacted, and the first class, say

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY. AND
BUSINESS.

The other day there walked
into the library in a certain
large city a representative Of a
special magazine. He had no
idea that he could find what he
wanted in the public library, but
he had been every place else in
town to no avail, SO he dropped
into the library as a last resort.
Here he spent two hours. He
found not only what he came
for, but the librarian directed
him to a set of government re-
ports, of which he had never
heard in his life, and in them
found material which, he said,
saved his firm $4,000 in expert
ments. This firm had never used
the library before.
Another man, the representa-
tive of a big financial firm,
spends on an average of three
evenings a week in the econo-
mic section of his public libra
ry. What is he looking up?> The
history of finance for one thing.
The price Of silver, for another,
and the price Of stocks in vari-
Gus countries for various years.

Sioux Indians of Minnesota will
receive about $2,000,000 as their

Ellsworth of Minnesota, Norton
