hundred persons who are particularly
interested in certain subjects are list
ed IN the files recently started for

who handed in their names would be
notified whenever any new books on
the subject specified by them are
received at the library. SO far the
results have been very satisfactory,
and the public is beginning to ap-
preciate more and more that TO be
notified whenever new books are re-

to date. AS interested in the follow

water between meals, pint Of hot

Such a one is made of the May
apple, leaves of aloe and root OF

Ever since the discovery Of uric acid
in the blood by Scheele, in 1775, and
the bad effect it had upon the body,
scientists and physicians have striven
to rid the tissues and the blood o.
this poison. Because of its over.
abundance in the system it causes
backache, pains here and there, rheu-
matism, govt, gravel, neuralgia, and
sciatica. IL was DIR. Pierce who dis
covered a new agent, called Anuric,
which viii throw out and completely
eradicate this uric acid from the
system. Anuric has proved TO be
many times more potent than lithid,
and consequently you need no longer
fear muscular or articular rheuma-
tism or govt, or many other dis
eases which are dependent on an
accumulation of uric acid within
the body.

THE TELEPHONE GIRL


A gold watch and a purse of gold
are the reward of ressie Mcnamara,
the telephone girl who sat sending
warnings to all the buildings when
munitions began to explode around
her at Kingsland, N. J. She was no
exception to the invariable rule that
the telephone girl is a heroine when
disaster comes. Indeed, the un-
broken uniformity of the thing is a
psychological mystery. What is
there about the switchboard to make
Casabiancas infallibly and unvary-
ingly? Flood, fire, battle, whatever
il may be, the story is always the
same; the same when the dam breaks
at Austin, when the Ohio river tries
to engulf Dayton. War comes anj
the telephone girl the same. and the
Russian government decorates her
"for valor under fire" at Novoros-
sysk. There are heroes in other
ranks of labor, but not so infallibly
Sometimes the elevator man runs his
car repeatedly through the flames
until the floors fall, but sometimes
he does not. There is no worker ex-
cept the telephone girl, unless it be
the wireless operator at sea, whose
record is perfectly uniform.
There is nothing in the girls train
ing to account for it. She is not
trained to risk her life, nor paid for
doing it, as a policeman is. The uni
formity of her record might be ex-
piainaDle ii sne were unfolding the
tradition of service which she had
been taught it would be dishonorable
to stain; this is powerful factor in
the case of the sea captain standing
