DOCTORS
New York Woman Chooses Odd
Profession.
Receives Calls and Makes Visits Like
Any Physician, With All Book
Lovers as Clientele At-
tends Great Libraries.
New York. Miss Janet C. Lewis
has taken up a work which, In all
probability, Is the most novel profes
sion In the country. ShG is a book
doctor. That is literal, for she re
ceives her calls and attends her pa
tients In much the same fashion as
any other doctor. The diseases to
which she ministers are various, and
only too well known to librarians who
have to deal with old and valuable
bookB. The chief of these Is dry rot
or disintegration, duo to various
causes.
Tho uso of sulphuric acid In tan
ning, may be an excellent preventive
for worms, but, on tho other hand,
leather so treated soon loses Its natur
al oil.
The present conditions In nearly all
libraries do not tend to preserve old
and valuable bindings. Direct sun
shine is one of tho most potent factors
in disintegration, as are also gas and,
to a lessoj degree, electricity. Tho
best way "to secure good, fresh ven
tilation and a proper supply of light,
while barring the sunlight, Is to have
the windows and globes of the lights
tinted red, green or yellow. Green
gives tho best results.
Glass fronts, MIsb Lewis says, are
not advisable, Blnce they prevent the
free circulation of air, which Is es
sential for proper ventilation. Ex
cessive dampness 1b bb much to be
shunned by the librarian as excess of
stacking room.
Miss Lewis uses in her work an old
preparation which Is based on a secret
formula willed to her by an old Ger
man librarian, a great friend of hers,
who died a few years ago. To this
recipe she added certain lubricants
with whoso properties she waB con-
USE ENGINE IN THIEF CHASE
Railway Policeman Orders Engineer
to Pursue Thief and Makes n
Capture After a Fight.
Oakland, Cal. Pressing into serv
ice a switch engine, J. J. O'Connor,
state railway policeman, pursued a
burglar along the rails on the Oakland
mole, caught up with the man after
a four blocks' chase, engaged him In
a hand to hand encounter and finally
subdued and arrested him. Tho pris
oner Is Ed Itensen, and he 1b in Jail
charged with petty larceny.
The capture was made lato last
night O'Connor noticed Rensen and
another man removing about one nun
dred feet of lead pipe from a freight
car at the Oakland mole. He ordered
the men to halt, but they took to their
heels and ran down tho footpath along,
tho rails. O'Connor followed, but the
men wore too fleet for him.
Seeing that he had no chance or
capturing them on foot, ho ran over
to a train which was being switched
about and ordered tho engino driver
to assist him. Tho train started aftor
tho burglars with O'Connor in the en
gino cab. When tho engino was
abreast of the fugitives O'Connor
Jumped off. Ho sought to arrest Hen
sen, but the latter fought. O'Connor
was the stronger In tho Bcufflo and
downed and handcuffed his man. In
the moantlmo the other man disap
peared In tho darkness.

versant and evolved her present prep
aration. It is of the consistency of
vaseline or petrolatum, and almost
black in color. Tho original recipe
had been handed down from father to
son in a family of book lovers and li
brarians, and previous to coming Into
the hands of Miss Lewis had been
used effectively In various European
libraries'.
Miss Lewis started her work some
eight years ago, and since then has
treated most of tho great New York
libraries with success, including In
her long list tho New York Dar asso
ciation, tho Avery library at Columbia
university, tho private collection of
J. P. Morgan and tho library of tho
Metropolitan museum. In addition to
being a book doctor, Miss Lewis Is a
practical llibrarian, having been In
charge of the Richard Hunt collection
for many years beforo taking up her
present work. She finds that she can
no longer continue her work unaided
and now has a corps of assistants
book lovers as she is herself, whom
sho chooses with tho utmost caro and
who have becomo very expert In the
work.
FASHION CURSE TO THE RACE
Missouri Lecturer Declares Vanity Is

Poverty.
Kansas City, Mo. Tho whole gain
of modern civilization In science, In

more than lost by tho waste in the
ceaseless pursuit of fashion, nccordtng
to assertions by Prof. H. J. Daven

tho University of Missouri extension

"There Is no cure for poverty when
all surplus energy is dissipated In

Tho Shearwater was cruising off the

Cleveland, O. Fish at B cents a

1.B00 pounds, was landed and sold.
Tho fish enterprise is one of several

curtailing the cost of living. The',

for cheaper vegetables and produce.
