LIBRARY MUST REACH OUT TO HELP SHUT-INS More Books Necessary to Supply Prisoners, Orphans and Invalids. READING BETTERS CITY B T CHARLES *. RUSH, LEBANON. Hev* yon who find in your public library a pleasure which you could not do without, ever stopped to think of the many classes of people who have absolutely no contact with the library and no opportunity at all of reaching It in any way ? There are the old people shup up In homes and Institutions too feeble or helpless to leave, but many of them lifelong lovers of books. There are the men and women, boys and girls held In correctional Institutions, many of whom would And In a book a surer guide to a right way of life than In any amount of discipline or segregation There are the little children in orphans’ homes. If ever we needed telling that they crave books surely “Mary Cary” did that for us conclusively. Then, too, there are the sick people In our hospitals. Dr. Grayson, rear admiral In the Medical Corps of the United States Navy, bad an interesting article In the December number of the Bookman on “Books as Mental Diversion,” In which he says: “A man whose chief occupation and delight has for many years been In books can probably be helped more, when he breaks down, by books than by basketry or modeling or any other pastime. Accustomed all his life to use his mind In the field of Ideas, he must still have Ideas for his own mental nourishment even after he has become nervously 111. Nothing else will really interest him.” If books are really Important items In the physical and mental recovery of certain classes of people then they, too, Bbould by all means be provided with books. OTHER GROUT’S tTO BE REACHED. Besides this great group of shut-ins who cannot reach the library in any way Whatever there are two other large groups of people who do not know the library—those too tired after the day's work to come for books and those who are indifferent to the library because they do not know about It or because they have never yet found Just the book that opened up to them a delightful new world which they had never before suspected. It Is to these groups of people who have little or no contact with or inspiration from reading thaY the library wishes to take books by means of its extension activities. It wishes to place frequently changing collections of books In the charitable and correctional Institutions of our city; It Is eager to place clean and attractive books In the wards of our hospitals. For those who are too tired at the end of the day for a trip to the library there should be both Inspirational and Instructive books placed in cur factories, stores and manufacturing concerns so that a book may be easily accessible on the way home from work. SEEKS CONVERTS TO LIBRARY lIABIT. And In order to convert those to the library habit who have never yet acquired it the library Would make books to accessible and so contagious at community houses, small business concerns In outlying ; arts of the city, drug stores, guild houses, playgrounds and other public meeting places that no one In Indianapolis will be able to say, “I am Ignorant because I had no books,” or "I am a know-nothing because I've never believed In books.’’ Do you consider such ambitions as these on the - art of your library as usel”St. frids? Or do you see in this program the possibilities of a better Indianapolis, “where dreams come trite?” The library could be doing all these things at the present moment If It only had hooks enough. But that Is why its hands are tied. It does not have money enough to buy bo >ks for all these people who need them. It cannot supply the hosrdfals, nor the Institutions, nor the ■tores, nor half the factories and Industrial plants in the city. Can the citizens of Indianapolis who read this anneal not catch enough of our Vision to help ’’sell” this book idea to the city ? Give to the library outright bequests of funds. SMALL OK LARGE GIFTS WELCOME. Make small gifts or large gifts, make gifts to be spent immediately or give endowments from which a perpetual Income may be used for the upkeep of some •peelal collection, such as a sunshine library In a children's hospital ward or a bookshelf In the Florence Crlttenton Home. Perhaps the Idea of giving books rather than money will appeal to you more Then present to the library new and beautifully Illustrated children’s books for the hospitals, or Interesting story books and fairy tales for the children, and good new books of fiction or nonfiction such as you have enjoyed for the adult readers In the community houses. If you are a business man you will recognize at once the value of these bookcollections in Industrial plants. Give books or make It financially possible for the library to buy books In sufficient quantities to supply these groups of with good reading matter. Help the library to help the people of Indianapolis. And give your help now, when the world Is realizing more than ever before the need for books and when the library reeds your help more than It ever has before.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Cory.

There were no telegraph poles to count as Puss Junior and the Mermaid Princess looked out of the window of the Iceberg Express. Instead, there were numerous fish, swimming here and there, some of gorgeous color; others of white or silver hue. Hills and valleys of pand, as well as long meadows of seaweed, stretched away for miles and miles. Strange looking sea animals crawled close to the rushing train. If they came ! too close, the suction of -the water drew ! them along until they disappeared be- ! neath the train. As darkness settled j down over the quiet deep. Puss Junior j turned from the window with a sigh. “I feel sleepy already,” he said, “and it’s only supper time.” “We’ll tell the porter to make up our berths while we are in the dining car,” said the Mermaid Princess. On their return they found everything in readines. Soft green seaweed curtains hung gracefully to the floor, one of them being drawn aside, showing a little white bed. It looked as comfortable as her own little bed at home, thought the Mermaid Princess, and in a few minutes she and Puss were sound asleep. Softly the sea-bells are ringing away, Dipping and dipping and white with the spray, Ding-ding, and ding-dong, and dingdong so deep, The sen-bells are singing me 6oftly to sleep. Over and over again In bis dreams little Puss Junior repeated this song. Then, suddenly, the bells seemed to change their tune. They clanged out wildly, - until, with a sudden loud crash, they awoke him with a start. The engine whistle was sending fourth loud, warning cries. The Mermaid Princess awoke and peeped in at Puss Junior, i "What do you suppose is the matter?” she whispered. “I’m sure I don’t know.” %e replied. : “Perhaps there’s something on the track.” By this time all the passengers were i thrusting their heads through the curi tains. “Porter, porter"’ called the Pen- . gnln, who bad been vainly pressing the electric call button. But, as usual, when a porter is wanted he is nowhere to be found. Then the baby-seal began to err. Suddenly all the lights went out. Puss ! hastily caught up his clothes and commenced dressing. “Thank goodnes,” he said, “I don't have to bother with stockings I” “I never was anything but n Mermaid, said the Princess in a frightened whisper, “so I don't know anything about them. But where’s my waist?" she asked anxiously, hardly able to keep from crying. “I can't find it anywhere—and it's so dreadfully dark, too.” “Oh, dear me,” cried Puss. “I’ve got mv coat on inside out!’* ••Well, I'm dressed at last.” exclaimed the Mermaid Princess, after wriggling and squirming about a few minutes longer. "Isn't it dreadful to dress in a berth ?" Suddenly the engine bell clanged out more furiously than ever. The whistle shrieked again and again. There was a sudden crash, and the Iceberg Express shivered and toppled o-er. But don't get worried, for I shan't let anything happen to Puss and the Princess, as you will see in the next story. —Copyright, 1921. (To lse Contlnned.) MRS. JAMES SPEYER IS DEAD. NEW YORK.

QUNNYSIDE Health Talks By Information Bureau of the Sunnyside Tubercular Sanitarium.

HOW CAN WB REDUCE TUBERCULOSIS DEATHS? We have spoken of the 75 to 90 per cent cf people who have tuberculosis infection, and how to prevent this. We have spoken of the 2 per cent who have tuberculosis disease, and how to prevent It. In a number of cases we are going to fall to prevent infection and to prevent disease. We are going to have active disease to meet. Is till* a hopeless situation? By no means. What can be done? Let us remember that 85 per cent of cases of tuberculosis if taken early can be arrested or cured and returned to normal life and work. How can this be done? 1. By seeking the best medical advice available and by following It. 2. By recognizing that the treatment of tuberculosis is fresh air, sunlight, good food and rest. 3. By remembering that there are no drugs and no patent medicines of use in the treatment of tuberculosis. 4. The best place for the average case of tuberculosis, especially If It is in an Infectious stage, is in a sanatorium. Sanatorium treatment Is of great value even If it Is carried out for only a short time, for It gives the patient a chance to learn what careful living mean*.

The Truth About Indianapolis UNION STOCK YARDS NINE hogs, a cow, a calf and half a sheep for each person in Indianapolis were received at the Union Stock Yards in this city last year. Hog receipts for the twelve months aggregated 2 806 894, while 597,097 cattle and calves, 135,841 sheep and 8 814 horses and mules came to the yards during 1920. Twenty-six per cent of the hogs, or about 100.000 hogs a month, came by motor truck. The motor truck live stock market in Indianapolis is the largest in the world. The Indianapolis Stock Yards climbed into third place last year as a hog market, and nestled in sixth place as a general live stock mar ket. The Indianapolis yards stood alone last year with an increase of 1.3 per cent in receipts, while Western markets in the United States showed a reduction varying from 1 to 7 per cent. A little less than one-half of the stock reaching the Stock Yards remained in Indianapolis for the local meat-packing industry. Three hundred employes ttfnd the fifty acres of pens and 100 acres of farm land comprising the yard property. Fletcher American National Bank of INDIANAPOLIS Capital and Surplus, $3,000,000

WOMAN SUFFRAGE TAKES NEW TURN

MRS. CLARA DCSV. Now that It Is all over, everybody seems glad that the women have a right to vote. But simply having the right to vote does not every desire of the female sex. They want to be the equal of men In all respects. They want to have Just as much to say about running the government, Just as much to do with finances, Just as much voice In framing the law. In thousands of cases Pepgen has given women politicians energy to work and win. : Right heje in Indianapolis many wom-

5. If the patient must stay at nome let him follow expllcity the advice of his doctor or of the board of health nurse. Let him live out doors, sleep out doors, and take every advantage of the open air. He has as good a chance to get well in his own town as anywhere else. The climate is of little Importance. About as many people get well under proper treatment in Indianapolla as in Colorado. 6. Once the disease is cured, the patient must live a fairly careful life. This means moderation and a careful adjustment to work and to living. It means normal, not excessive living. 7. The patient should also remember that he has a communicable disease and that he must be careful with coughing and sputum If he is not to infect others. There is no royal road to a cure in tuberculosis. It requires patience and cooperation, persistence and courage. It is up to the patient if he is to get well, more than to the doctor or to anyone else. Much of t?ie best work of the world has been done by tuberculosis patients, whether cured or not. For Instance, Robert Louis Stevenson, Theodore Roosevelt and Edward L. Trudeau, the founder of the first tuberculosis sana toriuin in this country at Saranac Luke, We are winning the fight against tuberculosis. We are going to fight it to a finish. This means an attack at all possible points—we shall “fight It out along these lines if it takes nil summer.” It 16 going to take many “summers’’ to finish the fight. It can be done if all will lend a hand, and “enlist” for the duration of the war—the greatest war of all —the war on the GREAT WHITE PLAGUE.

en, and men too, have publicly testified as to how this greijt tonic relieved them of dizzy spells, nervousness, sleeplessness, sallow complexion, under weight and other ailments, when such ailments were due to feeble or slow digestion or to habitual constipation. From time to time their statements have been published In t lie local news papers. After having read so many testliuonials from friends and neighbors, it is interesting to note what people In other elties are saying about Pepgen. In Springfield, Ohio, scores of prominent persons have recommended Pepgen. In fact, Pepgen is being highly indorsed wherever it has been introduced. Mrs. Clara Dunn, 672 Gallagher street, Springfield, furnishes a good example of the general sentiment in that city. Mrs. Dunn says: "For more than a year I suffered with kidney trouble until my system was all broken down. At times my limbs were badly swollen from my feet to my knees. My muscles grew so sore that I could scarcely touch them without screaming. I was also badly constipated and finally my stomach became so disordered that even a cup of coffee caused indigestion “1 was so much Interested In the statements that had been published about Pepgen that I decided to try it. "After the first few doses of Pepgen 1 felt improved. As I continued to take it I continued to get better. The firs't thing I noticed was Chat I was not constipated. Then gradually my appetite improved. And lastly the soreness in my back disappeared, which was positive proof to me that Pepgen had relieved my kidney u-ouble. W"i cannot tell how well 1 am satisfied with the results of Pepgen. I will be glad to discuss my case personally with anv person who cares to inquire." Those who wish to try Pepgen may obtain it from Huder’s drug stores, Washington and Pennsylvania streets, Illinois and Michigan streets, or from nny other loading drug store arywhere.— : Advertisement.
