A Federal Library Information Service

~ HERE is bill pending in con-
4 gress to, provide for a library in
formation service in the bureau of
education. Senator Mclean of Con-
necticut spoke in favor of the bill the
other day and said, among other
things:
"The bill proposes to make avail
able to the federal government the
services of the libraries of the United
States as centers for the dissemina-
tion of information prepared by the
government for the people. The IL
braries are especially fitted to place
government printed matter before the

Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds and inhu
enza can be depended upon for full ef
fectiveness until the liver is made thor
oughly active. That is why the first
step in the treatment is the new, nausea
less colonel tablets called Calotabs,
which are free from the sickening and
weakening effects of the old style calo
mel. Doctors also point out the fact
that an active liver may go a long way
towards preventing influenza and is one
Of the most important factors in en-.

SCENERY BIG PART OF PLAY
Modern Theatrical Productions Evil
IDENTIFY Depend Great Deal on
the Stage Settings.

''The Beggar's Opera" is now being
presented in New York with the com
pany that was gathered for the Lon
don revival, and settings which also
crossed the ocean. 1t was not that it
was cheaper to bring the scenery
over, but simply because it would
have been impossible to duplicate the
original sets without doing a great
deal of Eighteenth century research
work that would mean going over the
same ground that had been carefully
covered by the London designer.
The situation is hardly a parallel
to that of ''Her Own Way" the Clyde
Fitch comedy which could not be
played for several days after the date
set for the London opening because
the scenery had been put on a steamer
other than that taken by the company.
Fitch had written this play with intri-
cate, though unobtrusive, scenic effects
constantly in thought. The result was
that, broadly speaking, the special
scenery for this play actually did some
of the acting.

Honors for Liggett,

and Smith of Idaho, who is champion
ing the bill which grants an irrigation

park, promptly objected to Its con-
sideratiOn. He withheld his objection
while ElstOn of California set forth
various changes that he was ready to
make to meet objections and added:

covered by the water-power act, and
all those waters are now available for

this statement will satisfy the gentle
man that all his basic objections to
this bin have been met. Unless he is
opposed to the general proposition of
adding new wonderland of alpine
scenery to an existing park he should
permit this bill to be considered at
this time"
After some debate Smith of Idaho

FALL FREsHENINe is URGED
Calves Are More Easily Raised and
Cows Will Give More Milk
Farmer Has More Time.

The man who had his dairy cows
freshen this fall is thanking his lucky
stars that most of his work is COM
ing when he has most time to do 1t
and when dairy products bring high
er price. Men who have had expert
ence with both spring and fall fresh
eners will argue that fall freshening
is better because of the two adVan-
tages given here and because the
calves are more easily raised and the
cows in the course of a year will give
more milk. Spring freshening has
but few advantages despite the fact
that it is the rule. The main part of
the work comes during the summer.

No Cedar Boxes for the House This Year

LIVERY now and then congress con-
siders a very important and seri-
ods subject-like packing boxes. The
house was considering the sundry
civil bill by items. Here are parts of
the debate on packing boxes:
Mr.. Mann-''I move to strike out
the last word, The next item in the
current law is a provision for packing
boxes. 1t was left out of this bill. I
think there is an item in the bill for
packing boxes for senator's"
Mr.. Wood-"Nine hundred and sew
enty dollars"
Mr.. Mann-''It is not a matter of
any very great Importance to me per-
sOnally, but / was wondering what the
special reason was for refusing to
make provision for packing boxes,
especially for the new members of the
next house."
Mr.. WOod-"We appropriated $4,000
for this purpose last year. The clerk,
who has the expenditure In charge, as
certained that he could not get the
boxes without paying three times as
much as the appropriation and three
times as much as he formerly paid
for them. In view of that fact, no
boxes were purchased"
Mr.. Mann.-'"The purpose of provid-
ing packing boxes was to furnish box
es which could be used in carrying Off
cial documents back and forth between
Washington and our homes, including

that have been here long enough to
get an accumulation Of packing boxes. !"
Mr.. Garner.-"I should like to ask
why it is that they put in the appro-
priatiOn for the senate packing boxes
and not for the house2"
Mr.. WOod.-"That was the estimate
made in the senate, and the gentle
man from Texas understands that It
would be lese majesty to attempt any
cutting in our neighbOr's household"
Mr.. Srnith-"Mr. Chairman, desire
to offer an amendment, at the bottom
of page 18, to insert the following
For packing boxes, $4,000, or so much
thereof as may be necessary"
Mr.. Blanton-"Mr. Chairman, I

law"

nEBATE in the house over the
~ Roosevelt-Sequoia National park
bill brought to the surface the fight
between the water-pOwer interests and,
defenders of the national parks. This
bill provides for the enlargement of
Sequola and the change of name to
Roosevelt. The water-power interests
are desirous of getting water-power
permits on waters flowing west out
of the proposed addition, as the power
can be easily delivered to Pacific coast
cities. Under the new water-pOwer
act the water-power commission may
grant permits in all public lands, In

manded the First army, and General
Bullard the Second. General Liggett
must be retired on account Of age on
March 21 next. General Bullard has
three more years to serve upon the
active list before retirement. The
committee very sincerely believes that
the bill should pass, but is especially
concerned over the status of General
Lggett. If congress does not take any
action with respect to him at this ses-
sion he will be retired in the grade of
major general, which he now occupies.
1t is accurate to say that General Lig-
gett is the only general officer Of the
army who, after the war is over, finds
himself in the same grade which he
occupied before the war started. Cen
eral Liggett had under his command
approximately a million men. Next
to General Pershing himself, he car
ried the greatest responsibility of any
officer of the American expeditionary
forces in the management of combat
troops in the field in the face Of the

During debate it came out that Gen

to an amendment singing out Gen
