Library Chats
February 7 Is the birthday of
Charles John Huffam Dickens. There
Is much Interesting Pickens material
In Omaha. Mr. Henry T. Kleser has
a Dickens scrap book that has trav
eled all over the country for display
In libraries and expositions. It Is com
posed of original covers and wood cut
illustrations of his books and various
programs and interviews. This scrap
hook is now in Utica, N. Y., but will
be shown at the Omaha library on
its return. Mr. Kieser also haa copies
of the two magazines edited by Dick
ens, "Household Words," and "All
the year Round." The library has
bound volumes of "All the Year
Round," from 1859 to 1895. These os
well as pictures of the best kown
Dickens' characters and the Cruck
slianklan Momus are on display In the
circulation department.
Dickens first wrote under the pseu
donym of Boz, pronounced with a long
o. He said In an Interview that he
took the name of Boz from the nick
name of his brother which was Moses
and Moses pronounced facetiously
through the nose became Bozes and
shortened to Boz. „
These sketches by Boz which he did
while a newspaper reporter were pub
lished In book form In 1836 and his
novels rapidly followed. The library
has all of Pickena’ novels and many
splendid critiques. The list Includes
Foresters' “Life of Dickens," "Dick
ens as an Educator,” by J. L. Hughes.
Chesferton’s "Study of Dickens'
Work,” and "Dickens' Own Letters.''
There Is nothing new under the sun.
Epictetus was a "Couelst,” for he is
quoted as saying. “One man finds
pleasure In Improving his land, an
other his horses. My pleasure lies In
seeing that I myself grow better day
by day.”
In June, 1869, there were 212 citi
zens of our fair city who paid taxes
on incomes exceeding >2,000 a year. !
The list Is printed In the June 2 Is-,

Omaha's population at that time
was somewhat over 16,000 and the
largest Individual fortune was esti
mated around $60,000. There are pos
sibly only a round down names from
the 212 who have been thrifty enough
to Increase and retain their fortunes
up to 1923. Many of the fortunes of
50 years ago have gone with the
thrifty habits of bygone days. Now
we are having a thrift week, for
since the war people have learned
that happy homes and strong nations
depend not only upon the making and
saving of money, hut upon Its wise
expenditure. Many budgets and books
have been published during the past
few years to encourage hAblts of
thrift. Some of the most readable
are: "Thrift and Conservation.” by
Chamberlain; "How to Save Money.”
by Fowler; ‘'Thrift," by Maiden,
"Principles of Money and Banking,"

Like your arm—
your intestines grow
weak without exercise
—then disease begins
YOU know how the muscles of
your arms and legs get soft
and flabby without exercise.
Hidden in your body is another
set of musclea—more vital to your
health than almost any others—
which suffer in exactly the same
way. They are the muscles of the
colon or large intestine.
Like a set of powerful clamps
The colon is like a piece of hol
low tubing about four feet long.
Into it drain the waste products
of the body—dead cells, poison
ous refuse, waste from food which
the body cannot use.
Unless this waste is gotten rid of
regularly, it turns to deadly poisons
which soak into the blood and flood
your whole system.
The muscles of the colon are nature’s
provision for removing it. Like a set
of powerful clamps, they contract in
rapid succession and so force the con
tents of the colon along and out of
your system.
How modem life weakens
these muscles
It is no exaggeration to say that the
weakening of these musclea is the
greatest single cause of disease and
sickness today.
The reason is simple: our bodies are
built for coarse, raw foods which ex
ercised these muscles and gave them
real work to do. But modern civiliza
tion demands a more delicate, con
centrated diet—and as a result the
intestinal muscles grow weak and
flabby. That is why 6 out of every 10
Americans are suffering from consti
pation today. That is the basic cause,
doctors say, of half the ills which
afflict us. And so the first thing that
doctors want to know—no matter
what you consult them for—is: Are
your intestinal muscles acting
regularly to free you of these
poisons?
What thii dots to the muscles of
your arm, Fleischmann's Feast does
to the muscles of your intestines—
gives them normal, healthy exercise
The simple food that is restoring
health to thousands
Drugs and cathartics will make the
muscles contract, it is true, but they
do it by nervous irritation. That is
not exercise. Each time it happens, it
leaves the muscles weaker than before.
The only way to relieve constipa
tion permanently is by exercising
these muscles as nature intended.
Everywhere physicians and hospi
tals arc prescribing Fleischmann’s
Yeast today—not as a medicine, but
as a fresh corrective food which givm
the intestinal muscle* regular, natural
exercise.
Every cake of Fleisehmana'e Yaast
consists of milliona of tiny living
plants, which mix with the watt*
products in the colon, softening them
and increasing the bulk of the waata.
This greater bulk* gently encourages
the muscles to act, and at the same
time strengthens them by offering
just the resistance they need.
Your own physician will heartily
endorse this principle of regularly ex
ercising the intestinal muscles as thm
only way to relieve constipation and
all its evils.
Fleischmann's Yeast is in no sense
a purgative and does not produce im
mediate violent action.
It must be eaten regularly to se
cure lasting results. I
Eaf at least 2 or 3 cakes a day—
plain or dissolved in water, milk or
fruit juices—preferably half an hour
before a meal, or the last thing at
night. If you eat it plain, follow with
a glass of water. Get several cakes at
a time—they will keep in a cool, dry
place for several days. Be sure you get
Fleischmann’s Yeast. All grocers have
it.
