SIOUX CITY, Ia, Dec. 26.-SiouX
City's hospital library service has
proven that books may be truly said
to possess healing qualities. Physi-
clans state that books have proven
TO be a factor in restoring the health
OF patients.
Sioux City is the pioneer in this
service, which has received the rec
Ognition OF the greatest hospitals
and public Libraries in the country.
The service was originated by c. w.

Makes Patients COntcnted.
The patients interest in some
thing outside himself IS aroused.
The librarians visit Is a diversion;
the book or magazine selected is
subject of interest after the librarian
leaves. and then the nurse comes
and finds her patient satisfied and
happy. The restless spirit that Of
ten cannot be subdued In the con-
talescent patient Is absent.
From 1000 to 5000 books are cir
culated monthly and each does It's
work IN keeping up the patients
morale.
Each hospital has its own library
and truck. The books are fumigated
regularly and are never allowed IL
rooms where contagious disease is
present. The books for the service
we're donated by the people OF Sioux
City and physicians and surgeons
have commended the service and
have given IL their support.

who wants to apply lime and who has
not any device for that purpose has
been designed by l.. w. Forman OF
the soils section Of Iowa State College
with the aid Of the agricultural engi-

q cost Of about $50 at the most. Com
mercial machines Of the same Klno
cost 500 to $125 each.
Not only is the machine cheap, but
actual trials with it during the past
summer showed the work to be as

machines.
Blue print plans for such machine
will soon be available to Iowa 1arm'
