Lists 993 Borrowers in First
Annual Report.

During the 10-month period, ending
June 80, the county library section Of

million Lake school branch, White Iron,
and Winton are served by the local Ii
brary and included in the report, but
not included are BURNSIDE, PakSyla, and
the Van Vac branch served from PAX
syla, which were added about month
ago. The population served by the
county library is about 1000.
There are 1904 volumes in the county
library and 1857 in the city library, for
a total of 1851.
About a year ago last March, the
county made an appropriation of $4,000
for county library work, establishing
distribution points at Duluth, Hibbing,
Virginia and Ely. The work was set up
at Duluth, Hibbing, and Virginia i'm
mediately, but, because Ely had no IL
brary board at that time, it was not
started here until in September, 1887, a
board being named here the preceding
July.
The $4,000 was divided equally be-
tween the four points, with the same
appropriation being made for the
present year. Following this period the
appropriation will be made on the
basis of population and circulation.

Sun Bdthers Warned
Against observation-disclosures

Cool breezeS and bright sunshine
tempt the unwary to long hours in the
sun and prompt physicians of the Min
nesota State Medical associations COM
mittee on public health education to
issue warning against over-indulgence
in sun bathing.
Normally healthy people can take a
great deal of sunshine according to the
associations bulletin; but it must be
taken with moderation at first or the
result will be serious burn that may
stop all dalliance in the sun for some
time to come. An extensive sun burn
may be as serious as burn of any kind
and should be treated as such.
Those for whom no summer is COM
plete without requirement of a deep
even tan usually find out by experience
that the process must start gradually
and exposure increased by regular
stages.
For babies, regular exposure to sum-
mer sunshine by carefully timed ex-
posures is regarded by all physicians
as beneficial.
Sunshine is not panacea for Illness
however, the doctors warn, and sick
people should not expose themselves to
any extent without expert advice. There
is no doubt, according to the doctors,
that sunshine helps to prevent ricketts,
in children. 1t is also Of use in the
| treatment of so fStageS. MISE
treatment of some skin disorders. In
case of illness of any sort, however, a
doctors advice should be sought before
the patient is exposed to the sun.

take little time for the warden to get

Of instances where a warden wasn't

We don't like to take q pessimistic
attitude on the matter but trout fishing
in most beaver-infested waters is be-
coming worse every year, and unless
something Is done there will have to
be a choice between the beaver and the
trout. Something can be done, we
think, and this is to adopt adequate
beaver control Systematized blowing
out of dams, after they have fulfilled
their greatest mutual service to both
beaver and trout is probably advisable.
With intelligent control, it would seem
possible to maintain the present beaver
population without material damage to
the tribe of trout.
