school books are considered common
carriers of disease.. Y<
library, would
be perfectly justified in providing that
books can go to any home where
there is any infectious or contagious
disease. This would include tuberculo
sis, small pox, scarlet fever, diphthe
ria, typhoid fever, and even whooping
cough and measles, and besides these,
several unmentionable diseases. Even
though you had a book disinfecting out

allow books taken to homes, under such
circumstances.

deuired information, 1 am,

NEW LIQUOR LAW WILL HELP.
It i» to be hoped that the new liquor
law will put out of business the many
blind tigers that infest our country,
says an exchange. It has often been
said that liquor will give us joy and
drown our troubles. There never was
a falser note struck on the chords of
human life. Drink does not drown trou
bles, it floats them. We may lock them
in the closet of a night of debauchery
and think we have forgotten them; but
they come trooping forth in the gray
dawn of the morning to mock and de
ride us. When the magic wand was
withdrawn, the dreams have vanished—
the bright illusions which our distem
pered fancy pictured are gone—the cas
tles have fallen; reality has come, and
only the dull, cold ashes of regret re
main.
If we have no aorrowt, liquor create«
them; and if we have them it increases
them and makes them harder to bear.
It blights the young man like light
ning does the tree, and leaves him strip
ped of his heritage.
It takes from middle age ambition
and hope, and rob* old age of its
ity and peace.
It is the thief of character.
It turns men into monsters and
en into harlots.
It invades the ballot box to corrupt
seren*
worn
it.
It weakens the admiration of justice.
It i» the polluted ntream which min
gle» with the current of public affairs,
and it poison» all it touche».

The m*fi who think«, and thinks with
a view to reselling juat ami sensible
conclusion, should never start out with
