The Carnegie Library . In worth to the inhabitants of this city and township SIB,OOO when established-on lots 11 and 12. block 7, by popular eubscrip tion of t $1,200 Thd subscribed biioks, $6,800, building SIO,OOO, being ten times the support by oity SI,OOO and township S2OO. Annual support is sure “When a site is provided and paid for.” The buildiDg will be erected, when “a suitable site is provided.” Nearly all'the books are subscribed, and more than half the SI2OO is subscribed for said site. It is you duty to consider where yen live and where your land lies, the value of the library to you and each member of your family, the saving to you in taxation and your good will towards those less able to give. The saving in taxation if the Carnegie gift is thus secured is one mill on the dollar in the city and one fifth as much in the township. If both sites and building are thus secured the saving is at least six mills in the city and more than one mill in the township. If you give now one mill on the dollar plus your local, family and other special advantages it will be as fair as taxation. If you give more it can be known as an aid to those who are less able and willing to give. If you give less it must be known that you are asking alms either from want or geed. We will have a better library if the site is bought and paid for by the inhabitants of oity and lownship because this will show our gratitude f>r the building, for the merger of all libraries for a cessation of begging and from indefinite and unlimited taxation for all the future. Give not less than $1 00 nor more than SIOO.OO for the site. Tbe Board has prepared a statement which you should procure aid study. wtf Committee

The Hygienu of Old Ag»*. We look upon the aged with good reason as having a slender hold upon life, one that may be loosened by a slight shock of injury or disease which, in the young or middle-aged, would serve only as a stimulus to the reparative vital powers. This is a conservative belief, but it was u« g to shielp our loved ones who have fought the, from all influences which might shorten their stay with us. But we must not go too far id our solicitude, for injury may be inflicted and life shorten d by codding the old almost as surely as by coddling, the young, The vital processes in the aged are slow, but they are still exigent. and they may be kept active by ge tie oppb-ition and stimulation. just as they map be increased in childhood and youth by rough methods Dr. Caldwe l’s Syrup Pepsin and Herb Laxative Compound is a boon to the aged and infirm and probably no medicine has accomplished so much, or received as high or as many indorsements from men and women whose extreme age gives them a seemingly slender hold upon life. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin makes perfect digestion and ots gently upon the bowels in an aasy and pleasant manner. Tones up tbe entire system and prolongs fife 500 and $1 bottles. At A. F. Longs.
