During the decade the uses to which an American public library is put by the people of large city have increased steadily, but probably few libraries have yet developed into the general information bureau that nowadays serves the public in St. Louis, Missouri. Here staff of librarians in a room furnished with some 6OOO reference volumes answej questions by telephone, and so accustomed have the people become to their use of the - brary that the telephone is constantly busy. Every imaginable kind of question comes in over the wire, for the system provides infor- nation on the thousand and one topics that individuals may wish to know about in the course of a dap. Oft times the librarians, who naturally become very informative persons, can answer the inquirer without reference to the books: otherwise the telephone number is taken, the question investigated, and the an- swer given as soon as possible.

lump from Bed
in Morning and
Drink Hot Water
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water each morning
before breakfast.

Why is man and woman, half the
time, feeling nervous, respondent,
worried; some days headachy, dull and
unstrung; some days really incapaei-
tated by illness.
If we ell would practice inside batn-
ing, what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead of thousands of
half-sick, anaemie-looking souls with
pasty, muddy compilations we should
see crowds of happy. healthy, rosy
checked people everywhere. The rea-
son is that the human system does not
rid itself each day Of all the waste
which 1t accumulates under our pres
ent mode of living. For every ounce
OF food and drink taken into the system
nearly an ounce of waste material
must be carried out. else it ferments
and forms ptomaine-like poisons which
are absorbed into the blood.
Just as necessary as IL Is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each day,
before the fire will burn bright and
hot, so we must each morning clear
the inside organs of the previous days
accumulation of indigestible waste and
body toxins. Men and women, whether
sick or well, are advised to drink each
morning, before breakfast, glass of
real hot water with teaspoonful of
limestone phosphate in it, as harm
less means of washing out of the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
indigestible material, waste, sour bile
and toxins; thus cleansing, sweeten-
ing and purifying the entire alimen-
tary canal before putting more food
into the stomach
Millions of people who had their turn
at constipation, bilious attacks, acid
stomach, nervous days and sleepless
nights have become real cranks about
the morning inslde-bath. A quarter
pound of limestone phosphate will not
cost much at the drug store, but is
sufficient to demonstrate to anyone,
its cleansing, sweetening and freshen-
ing effect upon the system.

EVEN THE PACKER
= REBELS AT GREAT
COST OF A STEAK

Washington, Feb. 11.-Even big
packers sometimes rebel at the high
cost of meat.
Levy Mayer. counsel for Armour,
admitted to the senate agriculture
committee that he evades the retail
butchers prices by slipping into an
Armour branch house to buy ham
at wholesale now and then.
"The retailer unquestionably gets
wide margin on his meat" Mayer said.
Hotel steaks at $3.50 also irritate the
packers attorney. 'They weigh only
about a quarter of pound. But these
are trying times, 1 suppose" Mayer
sighed.
"Yet, the man who pays $3.50 is apt
to become suspicious" Senator Morris
observed.
Mayors suggestion that a packing
of nine members be named
by the president to regulate the in
dustry met with some approval among
senators. Three members each would
be chosen by stock growers, packers
and consumers to be formally ap-
pointed by the president.
Price fixing could not be attempted
by any such body. Mayer contended.
Packers are trying to get together
on suggestion for legislation and
Mayors plan has been submitted to

MUST WORK We'll
League Must Be Beneficent or
Hard Fisted One.
Whichever Plan VIII Work Out
Best for Occasion.

Chicago, Feb. ia league of free
nations-beneficent il beneficence ac-
complishes it's purposes. but hard-fist-
ed if force proves necessary.
That was the central thought today
of speakers, advocates and delegates
at the Great Lakes congress for a
league of nations in it's second days
sessions here.
THE league must be created for
the purpose-so far as is humanity
possible-of warning upon war" de-
clared Edward A. Bancroft in the
opening address.
Former President Taft. who heads
the league to enforce peace, under
last nights main address, declared for
support of ANY kind of real league
that President Wilson brings back
from France"
Let us see and hear the truth as
we understand it," said Taft LET us
have a fair consideration of its merits.
not in a nagging and critical way, but
with constructive spirit, with team
work for ALL"
Refers to Critics.
Referring to criticisms of President
Wilson's trip to France, Taft said:
"Oh. 1 know you have heard a great
deal about violation of the constitu-
ton. But you can not find a line in
that constitution that forbids the pres
ident going to any place where his
highest constitutional duty calls him.
1t has done him good and it will do
some gentlemen in Washington good,
too"
Outlining the basic principles which
he said he believed ought to be en-
bodied in the league, he proposed:
l. An international court to consid-
er and decide justifiable issues.
2. A court of. conciliation for nom
justifiable questions
3. An agreement to unite the eco
nomic power of nations to restrain
military action of dissatisfied member
nation.s
4. A congress to codify international
