Astoria, i-enruary 10. 1".-Edltor As- torlan: In looking in yesp-rday morning's nn'Miin ror the annual rew,rt of the public library and reading room, we were very sorry to Fee that you had thought It neeenKiire tn n. n1i.ru.. .1... - meagre limits; as we considered the public have a rUhl to know the full statement of library affairs. I am also sorry lu ace an error In even your condensed reHrt. You say, "Tho total lnoom of the li brary Iocs not appear to he given." Tills Is a mistake. If you will read again the eeotvlary'a report, handed to your paor, ou will see the following; Net receipt from city warrants... o?l S4 Net receipt from entertainments.. SNS i Net receipts from rental of bocks, etc 1M.I0 These were our only sources of Income during the pt year and made our total poo Ipls 4-vV. Tl. You also made an error In regard to the prvlxthlo exix'use of the coining year. The fa.t we wish to state Is this, vis., that It will bo nlmost Impossible for us lo keep open the free rradlng rHm unless we hao an upproprlittlon from the clty Our curri'ttl expense per year, bused on the past year, for the free reading room alone. Is as follows; Room rent iihuh Attendant W.u Oas Janitor Fuel Periodicals and newspapers Total fiii-i . Tti This the current expense-allowing nothing for rvputia and Incidentals or for the purchase of books for the circulating library. Now d.-duct from tvo.TI -our total Income last ycar-the $.ttl M which we rccclvtit from the city", and the result would he a divided detlclt. and I repeat with nothing allowed for either Incidental expense or the purchase of txks. This is the stern fact that faces us for the com Ing year. And. as we believe, with Abra ham Umidit that you can almost always '"trust the people to do right if they know the truth."' we felt the public should knov thee facts. The reading room I th important concern to the masses of the people of Astoria. It Is a warm, well lighted room in a convenient location More than forty magaiinc. and newspa pers are on Its tables. Any well-behaved person can read any or all of these any of the J, hooks In the reference li brary free of charge. That It I tilling a great want In the cltv l pren hy th tact mat more than II v. readers were lounted In this room last yc.ir-chl.fly men and boy lu their 'teens. The circulating library Is a valuable II brary of our leat literature, and both for Its own sake and a a source of Income in sustaining the reading rxun it ought to have a larger list of yearly subscribers. lint every dollar received from the city has been expended on the free re idlng room, as our treasurer's monthly rert to tne city council will show. And wo cannot but believe that If the tax payers of this city reullied how much that f: per month meant to the reading nomi and how very little Increase of tax it Is to them, that every tax payer would hcartllj favor making the appropriation A city offlcl.il, In a position to know the facts. Informs me that an approprlatl equal to last years only required a tax of mi. -fifth of a mill on the assessed property of this city. In other words, the i appropriation of (3 per month to the reading room only required l!n cents per year from each man owning l mi worth of assessed pni rty or 1" rents per year from each man owning l'i worth of property. Surely there is no tax payer In the city that would grudge these few cent apiece to furnish a place where boys and young men may lie kept off the street or from places of vice, and where they may have the opportunity of reading the best literature and becoming more In telligent cltlxens.

CATAllTtll OF THE STOMACH. A Pleasant Simple, but H-iTe Effectual Cure for It. Catarrh of the stomai-h han long been considered the negt thing to Incurable. The usual symptoms are a full or hloat Ing sensation after eating, accompanied sometimes with sour or watery rising formation of gaw. causing presesire on rbe heart and lungs arsl difficult breath Ing; headache, fickle appetite, nervous ness and a general played out. languid feeling. There Is often a foul taate In the mouth coated tongue, and If the Interior of the stomach could be seen It mould stiow slimy. Inflamed condition The cure for Mils common and obstinate trouble Is found In a treatment which r a tinea the food to be readily, thoroughly digested befor. It ha time to ferment and Irritate the delicate n.ticoua surface of the stomach. To secure, a prompt and healthy di gestion Is the one neocesary thing to do, and when normal digestion Is secured the catarrhal condition will have disappeared Aconllng to Dr. Ilarlanson the safet and b)t treatment Is to use after each meal a tablet, composed of diastase, Asep tic pepsin, a llttl mix, golden -nl and fruit acids These tablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name of Htunrfa Dyspepsia Tahl' ts, and, not being a pat ent medicine, can be used with perfect safety nrwl assurance thnt healthy nppe. tlte nnd thorough digestion will follow their regular use after meals.
