U" "i Hi UUllIUiUU M1JLU latest book ot fiction, the request being the result of reading the publishers' an nouncements or magazine reviews writ ten from the advance copy and printed before tho book Is published. It Is natural that the popular belief should bo that moro novels are Issued than other books, because more peoplo read for pleasure and recreation than for study and profit. The most popular fiction In Issued for but seven days and can be read In that time, while generally a month Is needed for reading books of a more solid char acter. The library alms to keep up to dato n buying the worth while books of all classes, but It cannot buy new fiction In a sufficient quantity to completely sup ply the demand. The library plans to buy only enough copies of each book to supply a normal demand, not that which Is excessive. An effort is mads to be conservative in buying and to put on the shelves only such titles as will hold the Interest of the reader during the lifetime of the book. Supply Iilmlted. During the year 1911 over 1,200 novels were published In America alone and the publio library purchased of these only about 200. It is to be expected that many readers will, be disappointed In not ob taining the latest novel at once, for even with the system of registration and reservation, It Is often necessary to watt several weeks. If the library purchases six copies of one book, whiehjs the usual number, each limited to a circulation of seven days to each reader, the library can give out tho book but twenty-four times each month. It can be seen by this that while the new fiction may not be had at once. It can be had by a reasonable time of waiting. In the case of books vanted for study quite a different policy Is followed, an effort being made to supply the book at once. If It Is wanted by several people, additional copies are purchased If the book fund will allow. A proper knowledge of the use of the library, gained through experience, will show each reader the easy way to ob tain what Is wanted. A familiarity with tho library rules and with the catalogue and the knowledge of what a public li brary ought to give to the people of the city will quickly make It as easy to use as a library In one's own home. Narrow Skirt Will Be the Cause of Its Own Downfall The Nebraska Employed Officers of the Young Men's Christian association opened their annual conference last night at S o'clock at the Young Men's Christian Association park at Carter lake.

In a downtown office near the comer of Sixteenth and Farnatn streets a fat man sat yesterday, leaning back In a chair fanning himself and smoktng. Three friends were In the office with the fat man.

"Hmi that's strange." murmured .one of the friends, a quiet, soft-speaking man. "Strang)" rumbled the fat man. dean In his throat "Nothing of the sort. Plain as the nose on your face. The hob ble skirt Is made. Invented, design!. fashioned and constructed with the pur pose of wearing out silk hoso. Confound It all, ain't we men had a heavy enough load before? Hasn't the cost of living been steep enough without this additional burden?" The fat man mopped his brow with his handkerchief and was silent. In evident disgust with, tho whole scheme of things.

A series of tables compiled from reports of tho ItoglBtor-Qonoral and covering seventy years shows that for males between five and ten years of age tbo deathrate has declined sixty-four per cent, while for those between forty-five and fifty-five years of ago It has declined only three per cent and for the next decade there is an actual increase ot mortality. For both men and women between tho ages of forty-ftvo and elxty-flvo there Is no decrease in the deathrate. Doctor Newsholmo finds that for both men and women in this period of mlddlo life diseases of. the heart and blood-vessels wore register ed as the causes of about one-third of the total deaths. "Apparently, then, for those who reach mlddlo life In fairly good physical condition tho heart is tho chief source of danger. Fortunately everybody knows that ex cesslve use of intoxicants and tobacco and coffee weaken tho heart. "At this season, when Xerr Year's vows are falling like leaves of autumn, we abstain from urging anybody to stop drinking or smoking or overindulgence in coffee.
