LIBRARY AUTHORITY SPOKE AT EARLHAM r Matthew Dudgeon of Wis- . r t. t- i

tuiibui, urges oroaqer Selection of Books.

Matthew S. Dudgeon, secretary of the Wisconsin Free Library Commission and director of the Library School of the University ; of Wisconsin, lectured before the students of the Summer Library School at Earl!ham on, Tuesday morning. His subject was the "Universality of Library Service." His main thesis was that the I public library is maintaned for the

benefit of the public and that librarians and trustees should regard them- ' selves as servants of the people. There should be no distinction of class, age or occupation in rendering this service. Attempts should be made to interest those persons in the community who are not already regular patrons of the library. He stated that not more than one fifth of the population of any cjty were card holders in the library and probably not more than one twentieth were regular users of it. Special efforts should be made to serve municipal officials, teachers and pupils in the schools, professional men, employes of factories and industrial workers of all kinds, without lessening their efforts in behalf of women and children. Mr. Dudgeon urged that more attention be given to books and reading for men, by providing books on business and the industries and the selection of fiction that would appeal to the "red blooded" man. Mr, Dudgeon's address was refreshing in Its emphasis on the larger duties and aims of librarians as distinguished from the technical details which though necessary are not to be given first place in the minds of librarians or trustees.

How to Salect Motor Truck Driver, . "Choose a motor truck driver as you would a first class clerk in your office or store; that Is, be sure he Is endowed with a certain amount of intelligence," says Gleeson Murphy, "and that you feel positive he is going to protect, guard and handle with good judgment the property intrusted in his care. There are enough good drivers now to discriminate when hiring one. Do not forget that when you send a man out with a truck he has in his charge property valued at several thousand dollars, and you want to feel safe that he Is not going to abuse it. The good driver usually means a well kept Ftendygolng vehicle, and a careless one the very opposite of this. Several Instances have come to my notice, that thd least complaints , were, received from 03vners,' who had given some attention to reliability and competency in the hiring of drivers. The true mechanlc has a certain regard for a piece of machinery, knows how to handle it under all road conditions, apprehends when the motor, clutch and transmission are working smoothly, uses good judgment in the matter of speed, and knows how 'to get the utmost service from the truck he drives and cares for."

Frequently wipe the floor with a dampened not n wet cloth and do not use hot water. Never touch Ihe floor with n scrubbing brush nor with a broom. Never use a washing powder of any kind or a cleanser. If it is so soiled that it needs more than cool water use a little enstile soap and wipe dry with a chamois. To remove any waxy substance that 'castile soap will not remove use a woolen cloth dampened with kerosene and rub off quickly. Never touch any floor or other varnished object with kerosene except In. an emergency as above prescribed.

IVY POISONING. How to Got Relief From This Painful Rash. Poisoning the skin by poison ivy (itbu.3 toxicodendron) is frequent in the summer and the early autumn. Some fortunate persons are not susceptible, but most are poisoned if they come Into direct contact with the plant, says the Youth's Companion. The disorder causes discomfort always and sometimes suffering. It shows itself within a few hours with redness, beat and irritation of the skin, swelling and the formation of small vesicles. These vesicles may occur in great numbers." Often many of them coalesce to form blisters, and they also break and exude a sticky yellowish serum. It is this fluid that by its escape spreads the disease to the adjacent skin or to the face and other parts of the body. The swelling may be so considerable as completely to close the eyes. As a rule, the acute symptoms continue several days, at the end of which time the vesicles either discharge or crust over and the swelling and redness slowly disappear. In this stage the itching may be intense and is likely to provoke repented scratching, which may in turn bring about eczema. The best way to treat ivy poisoning is simple. The Inflamed skin should be copiously washed with lukewarm water and a soap that does not irritate. The parts affected should then be bathed with a watery solution oi permanganate of potash as hot as can be borne. If the skin is broken a per cent solution should be used; if the skin is not broken, however, the strength of the solution may be increased up to 2 or '6 per cent. Treatment should begin the instant symptoms are observed. In mild cases one treatment la enough. Occasionally the poison is more deeply seated, and the permanganate must be applied for some time. In these cases and in the extremely rare instances of systemic Infection due to the entrance of the poison into the circulation a physician must be called. The patient must avoid scratching of course. Bandages are undesirable because tbey tend to spread the poison over the surrounding skin. If any protector is needed let it be a loosely applied dressing of absorbent cotton and gauze, changed frequently and kept moist at all times with warm water containing a little bicarbonate of soda. Permanganate of potash discolors everything with which it comes in contact and stains the skin a deep brown color, but that is a small price to pay for the relief it affords. The stain will wear off in a few days or It can be removed by vigorous applications of soap and water. In the healing stages of the disorder soothing ointments may be used.
