PROBLEM IS A PERPLEXING ONE
It Una Been Sogftestcd That Paper
for Kilos lie Printed on Special
Paper, lint ThU Would
Be Impossible,
The most valuable volumes in the public
library are the newspaper files not the
most valuable measured In dollars and
certs If they were to be sold, but rather
becuise impossible to replace if they
should be destroyed. That is why the
preservation of the flies of local news-
rapers In the Omaha public library
I alnst time, rough usage find disintegra
tion Is one of the perplexing problems
confronting the library authorities.
"In ttn or fifteen years our paper,
o-" thirty and even twenty years ago will
be unfit for use," says Miss Edith Tobitt,
librarian. "Tne significance of this iies
in the fact that the dally newrparers arc
the chief source of Omaha history. It Is
to the Omaha newspapers that historians
of the s;ute and the general public go
for dat.j on lecal events. What Is hap
Fer.ini; to our old files will be true with
ci.r pnpr-rs cf the future unless something
is done to prevent. The only files avail
able for the public, when there are gone,
will be thofe in the Congressional library
in Washington, D. C.
The Omaha library did not begin saving
papers until it became public In :S7I. So
the early papers on file there are well
preserved because they have been given
by private individuals and have never
been in general use. Among these old
papers are the Omaha Arrow of 1S.'4;
Omaha Times, 1S37; Omaha Nebraskan,
1SC3; Omaha Weekly Bee. 1S73.
ltnpitlly Going to Pieces.
The pages of these papers are still white
and flim because they are not out for
general ue, but the papers used con
stantly by the public have almost gone
to pieces. The oldest paper In use is
a Bee of 1S78. The paper Is turning dark
and Is torn et the edges. All the file? of
the last twenty and thirty years are in
the same condition.
H. A. Sonter, head of the chemistry de
partment In the high school, says that
the light and dampness enure a chemical
change in the paper which make it yellow
and brittle. He says that the only way to
rave the papers Is to keep them in a dark,
dry place.
On a recent visit to eastern libraries
Miss Tobitt discovered a librarian In
Duquesne, Pa., who ..ad solved the prob
lem of preserving newspaper f)les for the
luture. He has Induced the local papers to
print one copy each day on a durable
linen paper especially for library flies.
Miss Tobitt nisconragrd.
Miss Tobitt recently addressed inquiries
V the publishers of Omaha dailies to as
certain whether it would be possible to
have a special copy of each day's issue
likewise printed for the library upon
linen paper, but has not received much
encouragement. One answer was that it
was possible to do so, but only at an
expense that would be prohibitive. The
reason is because the method of printing
the newspaper today on rapid-fire presses
has superseded the old plan of taking
flat Impressions, one side at a time, by
which alone a linen paper copy could be
had, and in addition the constant and
rapl changing of pages In a dally news
paper office would leave no opportunity
to make a special print.
It Is Slow
Suicide to
Neglect
Your Teeth
People cannot enjoy life asd health
with a mouthful of decayed or loose
teeth. They are an important factor in
the first process of digestion. Nine out
of ten cases of chronic stomach trouble
are due to Improper mastication of the
food.
Dental work, properly inserted in place
of offending members is the only sate
and pern.anent remedy.
Dr. Todd has patented and perfected
teeth 'Which are giving comfort and sat
isfaction to hundreds of patients whose
names will be supplied to anyone. Thev
are beautiful In appearance, have
strength and durability, and resemble
nature's own more closely than anything
yet discovered by the dental fraternity.

Over 500 Omahans
Going to Lincoln
Fair for Omaha Day
According to replies received at the
Commerelat club publicity bureau 510
Omahans will go to Lincoln to celebrate
Omaha day. Those answers are from
members of tho Ad club, Real Estate ex
change, Knights of Ak-Bar-Ben and the
Commercial club. Already soventy-four
automobile owners have signified their
Intentions of going to Lincoln In theli
machines.

Despite the fact that Monday Is Lincoln
day at the Nebraska state fair and also
that It Is the date set for th unveiling
of the Lincoln monument and a few other
ceremonies, more than 300 Llncolnites will
abandn their lively home city to come
to Omaha as candidates for Initiation Into I
the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben.
A committs'e of twenty has been work
ing in the capital city to muster 800 re
cruits for his majesty, King Ak-Sar-Ben
XVII, and according to recent reports
there may be a greater number than they
had anticipated.
A special twin will leave tlwre at &
o'clock tomorrow afternoon filled to the
brim with Ak-Sar-Ben enthusiasts and
arrive In Omaha In time for the big circus
at the Den. A special committee will
meet them at th depot and they will be
taken In chartered cars to the scene of
revelry.
Leading the aggregation will be Mayor
Armstrong of Lined n and the IJncoln
city council. They are coming in one
hilarious body. Along with thim Gov
ernor Aldrlch's staff In full uniform will
be mustered out.
Some ,perlal Stnnts.
The board of governors of Ak-Sar-Ben
has been preparing the celebration at the
Den tomorrow night to be the biggest and
best of th.i year. A number of sensa
tional additions have been made to the
circus and concert, it Is said, and special
equipment for stating and feeding has
been Installed at the Den.
As Lincoln night Is next to tlv9 last
night, the circus promoters are working
up the performance so that there may be
considerable momentum when tho grand
climax, a week away, comes.
The last night at the- Den, a week from
tomorrow night, will be the greatest In
the history of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben
without a doubt. Preparations for It have
been In tho planning throughout the sum
mer and it is expected something un
usually surprising will h? sprung.
Hair in a Hrnld.
That IJncoln will be here tomorrow
nlgh.t, "with her hair in a braid," is the
assurance "Dad" Weaver has received
from the Lincoln Commercial club. The
letter to him reads:
We beg to acknowledge receipt and ex
press gratitude fcr the Invitation ex
tended the IJncoln Commercial club by
the board of governors of Ak-Sar-Bn to
be the guests at the Den Monday night,
September 2, which h?a been designated
Lincoln night.
A committee has been at work for sev
eral days and I am informed that fully
306 representative business men of the
city will accept your invitation.. These
people are largely members of the Lin
coin Commercial club, the Lincoln Ad
club, th Rotary club, the Elks and .the
Mystic Shrine.
It is rather unfortunate that the date
of September 2 was selected for Lincoln
night this year on account of that date
being fixed as Lincoln diy at the state
fair. It Is also the date g:'t by the stat
committee, for the unveiling of the mag
nificent IJncoln monument, but notwltn
standing these ceremonies, we are going
to send a fine bunch of candidates to the
Den fqr initiation Monday night, and I
think we can guarantee many hundreds
of our people visiting Omaha during the
big days cf the Ak-8ar-Ben.
, With all best wishes for the success ofJ
the undertnklng and expressing the wish
that IJncoln nlsht at the Den will be
made an annual feature, 1 am, with warm
personal regards, yours very truly,
W. B. WHITTEN.
Secretary.
Inquiries are coming In to the Ak-Sar-Ben
office from towns throughout the
starts asking if they cannot be given a
night at the Den. With only two per
formances left this year and they already
taken. Secretary Weaver is sending out
notices to the towns that they cannot be
accommodated until nst year. They are
given Invitations to come In Lincoln
or Omaha night, however.
