, could be laid in the children's room during 1880. Yet both of these things have been accomplished, by the vote of the executive committee, from a reserve fund of three thou sand six hundred dollars on hand January 1, 1880. Whereas, 1t former ly took six afternoons, twice a year, to haul 218 boxes of classroom li- braries weighing over one hundred pounds each from the basement to the third floor. using a hand-power elevator or dumb-waiter, this work can now be done in two afternoons with an electric elevator The noise in the children's room has been ap- preciably reduced and the appear ance of the room greatly improved since the battleship lineoleum was laid early in the summer. Besides these improvements a glass front display case was built in recessed and unused doorway in the main entrance hall. This case has filled long felt need by giving us chance to display some of our inter- esting and expensive art books. which would not be safe on any of the tables in the lobby or hall. It also furnishes place to arrange in-
 teresting travelling exhibits which we are fortunate enough to procure from time to time. One rather eX- traordinary one which we had for week in November was that of craft work done by the children of Mexi- co for the children of the United States. We feel that in time many civic and business organizations may make use of this case. Rubber run ners have been laid in the aisles of the open stack where the floor is very badly worn and splintered and battleship lineoleum in the larger area at the front of the stack The staff room has been painted and redecorated and worn out equip Irent replaced.
 With three hundred dollars avail able for repairs for the coming year it is perhaps sensible to men, tion only the minor ones which it might be well 10 make. After some consideration it seems desirable to move the office of the librarian to the room on the first floor which is now occupied by the catalog and order department. The librarians office on the second floor is rather far removed from the center of things. On the other hand the cat alog department would have some what larger quarters on the second floor. Their present space does not readily accommodate the working equipment of four people. If this change is made both rooms will need fresh paint and the present catalog room should be repainted in any event. Other places which need to be painted are the reading-room ceiling and the walls of the vestibule and the main entrance hall. It is, know, out of the question at this time to consider painting the walls of the three ODppr stacks and the entire top floor of the main build ing. all of which places have not been painted since the library was built in 1894. Some plan to insure better ventilation of the main floor of the building is badly needed All of the windows on this floor open ing like doors, make it impossible to have a constant circulation of fresh air. We have either none at all or so much that patrons of the library begin to object.

quently the seat of disease, and
fortunately is so constructed
anatomically that it can be re-
moved with great ease. Much
the same can be said of the
tonSilS.
And to come to my subject to-
day, the same is true of the gall
bladder.
Our knowledge of the gall blad-
der has within the past five
years been greatly increased.
Part Of the Liver
The gall bladder is an appen-
dage and a part of the liver. The
liver has many functions. One
is to convert starch and sugar
into a usable form for the body
that form is a substance
known as animal starch of gly-
cogen. The formation of fibrino-
gen, which causes the blood to
clot, takes place in the liver, and
is an essential function of the
body. The waste product urea is
formed in the liver and sent to
the kidneys for eXcretion. The
formation of substances to COM
bat infections takes place in the
liver. The liver also uses the
refuse Of destroyed red cells and
converts this refuse into bile.
Bile has a function in the
process of digestion, particularly
Of the fats in the intestine. It
flows from the liver to the intes-
tine by way of the tiny bile
ducts. These ducts merge to-
gether and finally become a sin
gle large duct-the common bile
duct.

CHAPTER 81

Garson'S tone was so serious,
so completely truthful, that Con-
ME was startled.
1T does not please me for you
to say that you are afraid of
me-" she said, quickly. Its not
flattering, at least"
Perhaps 1 should have said I
was afraid of myself, afraid of
the effect I might produce on
Others" Carson went or. The
way I have lived may have un-
fitted me for any ether form of
life TO matter nov much I
might desire il. When an ami
NAL stays too long with the pack
it changes considerably from its
domestlcated brethren"
AN animal that runs too long
with the pack" Connie said,
"soon learns to leap at the
throatS and tear them"
That" Carson admitted, zap
pears to be true, yet not in
evitably so, There is such a
thing, though, as a decent re-
gard for other people," he said.
I mean-a man has no right to
blight a woman's life-simply
because he loves her"
His Hidden Thoughts
1t was evident to Connie that
Carson had in his mind a
thought that applied to her di-
rectly.
You're not being yourself
you're not saying straight out
what think" she told him,
critically. What do you mean?"
In the darkness, he seemed
to be holding himself alopf
from her, rigidly reluctant to
unbend. She smiled silently,
unseen. Men, after all, were
the modest, diffident sex; she
had the pleasant feeling that
he was afraid Of her, that her
femininity, in this secluded in
timacy, appeared to throw and
keep him off balance.
II mean I want you but"
Between them both there was
a breath-catching instant an
electric moment. a precarious
balancing of all life on the
point of needle "
But I am desperately uncer-
tain!" he declared in voice,
muffled with feeling. THE
only thing I could bring you,
the only thing I could offer
you. would be unhappineSS.
What right have I to say these
things at all to you? If what
ever I said left you cold, it
would all be so simple-but I'm
not fool. I know that I dis
organize you. If I ask you to
marry me and you said yes,
your whole life might be
ruined. I'm afraid I've strayed

MA RUBENS' OWN TRAGIC STORY OF HER LIFE
DIET AND HEALTH
By DR.. Logan Clendening-

Physiology is the science of
the function of living things.
Pathology is the science of the
disease processes of living things.
In the human body it is curious
that often the organs which we
know the most about phySiolog-
ically are not much subject to
disease, and on the contrary
organs about which we have
very little knowledge of what
they do are the seat of the
commonest diseases we en-
counter.
Great Deal Is Known
For instance, we know great
deal about the physiology of
the liver. And for so large and
important an organ it is COM
paratively infrequently diseased.
This is even truer of the mus
cles: we know a vast deal
about their actions. Yet there
is hardly single common dis
ease of the muscles, not more
than three serious affections,
and hardly more than a dozen
diseases of them all together.

Automatic Defense Killed
Released from his arms, she
felt herself weak and waver-
ing. Against the cushion Of the
seat she fell back supinely.
What she had invited had come
upon her with the stunning ef-
feet of a collision; as through
a great weariness, she could
see what was happening to her;
for more was involved than any
surface stirring of the senses.
The instructive, age-old habits
of aumatic defense were dead,
killed.
It shouldn't have done that"
he reiterated. You shouldn't

II couldn't help It," she
whispered.
With an involuntary, irreSisti-
BILE movement he took her again
into his arms and their lips
met, magnetically intoxicated,
flame-like with eagerness. No
effort came from Connie to
avoid him; she responded to
his embrace with an urge as
compelling as his own. When
she released her, she was con
fused in her mind, as though
she were emerging from

My fellow chorus members did
nothing to break the icy aloof-

the leading man, Walter Cat

worlds greatest comedians, and
Zoe Barnett, the leading woman,

she could to help me along. I
guess she took pity on my
youthful greenness. Anyhow,
she frequently called me to her
