Washington, Dec 12--(UP) -SeI- dom do three men who have been presidents of the United States get u chance to gossip together, and equally seldom do three first la- dies" meet
 However there walked into Ma tionul Red Cross headquarters the other day, within few minutes of each other, Mrs Herbert Hoover, Mrs William Howard Taft and Mrs Woodrow Wilson. They smiled and shook hands cordially. They chat- ted and appeared to have much in common.
 They were present to attend a meeting of the national committee of volunteer service.
 John Barton Payne, national or ganization chairman, presided. He had forgotten his glasses.
 I'm sorry but l can't read this" he apologized, lingering a report on how much cotton cloth had been made for the destitute.
 Here, use mine, unless they arc too old for you," said Mrs Wilson Payne accepted. He was secretary of interior in the Wilson cabinet and a close friend of the war presi- dents widow.
 The library of congress, growing at the rate of more than 500 vol- umes every day, is now the largest library in the world. Such at least Is the conclusion of Librarian Her. bert Putnam in his annual report to congress to-day.
 European libraries use different systems of counting, he said, but q study of the most recent figures leads clearly to the belief" that this is the worlds largest.
 The congressional library now has 7.350,0S2 books. maps, nusi- cal compositions, manuscripts and engfavings, and "uncounted mil- liohs' of manuscript pieces. ...
 It took three and half miles of shelving for last years acquisitions alone. They included 5000 .pur- chases. O,700 volumes which were deposited for copyright, 59,000 which were gifts and 36,000 re- ceived as exchanges.
 John D. Rockefeller, Jr, made a donation to develop the Union Catalog" to show exactly where some 13,8O0,0 books can be found 1 other libraries In case you don't see what you want among the 2 7,0O0,000 here.

BEWARE OF COLDS NOW

iColds-especially those mean "grippy" colds so prevalent at the present time-are more of menace than most people suppose. They way for serious ills. Colds-Susceptbles-- those who "catch colds easily-should be especially careful now. If you belong to this group, here's welcome news. Vicks Plan for better Control of Colds was developed especially for Amer ica's millions of Colds -susceptibles and their families.
 With certain simple rules of health, Vicks Plan combines proper medication = at the proper time-for every type and stage of cold. The Plan was made possible with the new aid in preventing colds-Vicks Nose & Throat Drops. It is the ideal companion to vicks vapoRub-the modern way of treat- ing colds. The two aid and supplement each other in reducing the burden of the worlds costliest ailment-the starting point of one- half of all disabling diseases!
 vICKs COLDS CONTROL PLAN Introduced last year, vicks Plan has been amazingly successful In showing the way to fewer colds, less severe colds, less expense from colds. Here. briefly Is the Plan: Simple Health Rulcs-Get plenty of rest and sleep. Eliminate regularly. Drink lots Of water. Eat light, wholesome food.
 When Colds Thrcaten-Use Vicks Nose & Throat Drops, the new aid in preventing colds.
 If Cold Develops or strikes without warn ing-Use Vicks VapoRub, the nations standby in treating colds.

SOME ''c0LD" FACTS

It is estimated that one out of every four persons is Colds-susceptible. Approximate ly 30 million Americans belong to this group. Indoor workers, as a group, rate high as Colds-Susceptibles. For instance, office work CTS have nine times as many colds as taxi drivers and four times as many as soldiers. Children as class are particularly suscep- tible to colds. Thousands are absent from school from three days to three weeks each year because of colds.
 Probably the greatest damage done by colds is that they 50 often lead to more serious complications.
 Colds-Susceptibles = their body resistance lowered by frequent co1ds--are an easier prey for flu, bronchitis. pneumonia, and other disabling diseases.

 Grasping his torch, he moved stealthily deeper beneath the can- opy of darkness that concealed the cavern secret. The light pierced the black depths like the plunge of a sharp dagger. The rays disclosed two 50-gallon barrels standing up- right in a depression in the cavern wall. He found them in an excel lent state of preservation. He re- moved the hidden casks to a more advantageous position; they were extremely heavy.

WAKE yP YOUR
 LIVER BILE- WITHOUT CALOMEL
And You'll Jump Out of Bed in
 the Morning Karin to Go

If you feel sour and sunk and the world looks punk, don't swallow a lot of salts, mineral water, oil, laxative candy or chewing gum and expect them to make you suddenly sweet and buoyant and full of sunshine.
 For they can't do it. They only move the bowels and a mere movement doesn't get at the cause. The reason for your down-and-out feeling is your liver. It should pour out two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily.
 If this bile is not flowing freely, your food doesn't digest It just decays in the bowels Gas bloats up your stomach. You have thick, bad taste and your breath is foul, skin often breaks out in blemishes. Your head aches and you feel down and out. Your whole system is poisoned.
 It takes those good, old CAMPERS LITTLE LIVER PILLS to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make you fea ~up and up." They contain wonderful, harmless, gentle vegetable extracts, amazing when it comes to making the bile flow freely.
 But don't ask for liver pills. Ask for Carter's Little Liver Pills. Look for the name Carter's Little Liver Pills on the red label Resent . substitute. e 1881 c. A Co
