We draw special attention to a short letter appearini; in this issue regarding If out- siders take so much interest in the wel- fare of our young people, how much more should we as citizens be interested in providing something that will elevate as well as educate tnem. The rejuvenation of the library and providing a reading room would be a proper more. The small amount of interest that has bocn taken in our excellent library is a stand- ing reproach to the intulliguncu and boiievolunco of us u'.l as citizens. Wo should get after that $25 and a few more from benovolenty-iuolined people. The old fashioned way of dosing a weak •tomach, or stimulating the heart, or kidneys is all wrong. Dr. Shoop first pointed out the error. This is why his prescription â€" Dr. Shoop's Restorative â€" is directed entirely to the cause cf these ailments â€" the weak inside or controlling nerves. It isn't so diffijuU.says Dr.Shoop to strengthen a weak stomach, heirt or kidneys, if one goes at it correctly. Eicb inside organ has its controlling or inside nerve. When these nerves fail, then those organs must surely falter. These vital truths are loading druggists every- where to dispense and recommend Dr. Shoop's Restorative. Test it a few days and see!

Really the boys appear to become more self respecting. That is good. Until the close of tho entertain- ment tho Older was excellent, but with the begining of tho Natiomd Anthem many of the audioncu sprang to their feet and with a rush wore pouring out before the singing was finished. This looks bad, very bad for an audience to act as though they cared nothing for the King, The hour #as nut late, and every- body could without inconvenience have remained respectfully standing till the cl.'isu of the anthem.
