In Prospect. For nearly a quarter of a century |Spofford, the presiding genius for Herbert Putnam has been working | any persistently and efficiently to develop the Library of Congress, whose original purposs was limited to serv- ing the legislative department, into a national library, equal in facilities and 'scope, 1f not in the wealth of rare old original manuscrips, to any in the world. Today he is ready for ii ~rnational service, with the treas- ur of specialized authorities placed at the disposal of the chosen dele- &uies from the great nations of the world gathered here to formulate a program for limitation of armament. Dr. Putpam was the first to bring to the position of librarian a prac- tical experience in library work. With extreme modesty and considerable financial sacrifice he has submerged his own personality into the library, making it a great utilitarian monu- ment to his genius that stands today as a model for the entire world and a corner stone of education for future generations. Service to Entire Country. ears, as “an admirable selec- of the best ancient and modern literature up to the beginning of the present century.” These books were hauled from Monticello to Wgshing- ton in farm wagons. On the evening of December 22, 1825, Edward Everett discovered a fire In the galleries of the library and, assisted by Daniel Webster and other members of Congress, put it out. In 1851 a second firq destroyed all but 20,000 volumes of the then handsome collection of 55000 vol- umes. Only one-third of the Jeffer- son collection was saved. In_ 1867 Congress authorized the purchase of the valuable collection of Americana from Peter Force. It contained 60,000 volumes and cost $100,000. About the same time the vast collection of the Smithsonian Institution, comprising 40,000 vol- umes, was transferred to the Na- tional Library. It contained in- valuable publications of the various learned societies throughout the world with which the institution had exchange relations. These publica- tions contained works on natural his- tory, the fine arts, lingulistics, bibliog- raphy, etc. Some other notable accessions were: In 1866, the Petigru law library; in 1882, the manuscript papers of Hen- jamin Franklin; in 1883, the Matthew Dr. Putnam clearly distinguishes the functions of the municipal li- brary, the state library and the uni- versity-library on the one hand from that of the national library on the other. Each of the three former serves a constituency not within the purview of the national library. His. great planwas to make the national library serve the entire country through other libraries in the following ways: (1) By the sale and deposit of catalogue cards, of which there are now in stock, 60,000,- 000 (2) by Interlibrary loans so that any person, in however remote part of the country, can secure through the local library books from the natjonal library, provided the book called for is the unusual book for the unusual need and the purpose for which it is required is not merely diversion or personal information, but for purposes of research; (3) by distribution of the publications, Including its bibllog- raphies, and (4) by co-operation In publication. < In this way, he points out, the re- search investigator is not limited to the books on the shelves in his local library. In every library center can be found a card catalogue of the |xmom1 Library, which informs the attendants and patrons of the various centers of the collections of the national library. This organizes the library centers into one stu- pendous library system with the National Library, Washington, as a general clearing house for library in- formation throughout the nation. It thus serves the general reader, who is not limited to the authorities found in the National Library, | enormous as are the present sources. numbering in the collection 2.831333 books and pamphlets, 166,448 maps, 884,227 volumes and pieces of music and the 418,976 prints. Nationalization of the Library. The conception of a great national library was announced by Dr. Putnam soon after he was brought to Washington from the Boston public library to take ‘charge of the newly erected home for the Library of Congress, completed in 1897. This library had grown from 75,000 volumes in 1864 to 1,000,000 when it was. moved into its new home. In 1905 Dr. Putnam set out the func- tions of the national library™in a report in which he referred to the IleYds of research as (1) a library for special service to the federal gov- ernment: (2) a library of récord for the United States; (3) a library of research, supplementing other re- search libraries; (4) a library for national service—a llbrary which shall respond to demands from any part of the country in the aid of research. This ambitious program has elready been carried out by Dr. Putnam. Holds Precious Documents. Very recently Dr. Putnam has had a new distinctfon and evidence of con- fidence placed upon him. Fe has been made custodian of this nation's most prized documents—the original of the Declaration of Independence and the original of the Constitution of the United States. Facing the Capitol building, thou- sands of visitors to the nations capi- tal behold what they are told is the “most beautiful building in the world —the creation of the genius of the architect, sculptor and painter:’ It was to make the best use of this building that Dr. Putnam was called to the nation's service. Within its [walls are now found a collection of publications_which is -rapidly over- taking the Bibliotheque Nationale of Paris and the British Museum of Lon- don—the only other libraries which exceed in number of books the Na- tional Library. d Z In this library are found the world's greatest collection of musical compo- sitions, and it also takes first rank in the number of maps. ment for practical use is superior to that of any other library in the world. The building covers three and a half acres and has eight acres of floor ispace. It has 100 miles of shelving ito accommodate 3,500,000 volumes which may be extended to at least twice that amount. . Seme Notable Collections. In the National Library today can be found the richest collection of Russian books outside of Russia. This includes certain manuscript records of the early Russian settle- ment in Alaska. In pure literature the library includes the best edition of every important Russian writer. Even ‘the fine arts are represented, especially notable being a set of the Rovinski publications, perhaps the most nearly complete in existence. In the National Library also may be found the finest +collection of Chinese books to be found anywhere outside of the republic of China. This collection commenced with books brought over by Caleb Cushing, the first United States minister to China, under Pregident Tyler. It contains volumes that cannot be duplicated. The Choo He History, 100 and 110 volumes; the History of the KEight Banners, 314 volumes; three sets of Kany Hee's dictionary, 40 volumes, and & dictionary of classical expres- sion, -120 -volumes, are among _the notable possessions, some of which are not to be found anywhere out- side of China. The library also contains an excellent collection of Japanese books. Th started with a collection of 9,000 vol- ‘umes and is still growing. The National Library had a very insignificant beginning, but has felt the touch of the greatgst states- men. The first appropriation was $5,000, made in 1800, and the first librarian, Beckley of Virginia, was appointed by Jefferson in 1802, the library then containing 964 volumes and nine maps. When the Capitol was burned by the British in 1814 the library, then housed in the Capi- tol, had cost, all told, about $9,000 for books and operation. The librarian’s salary was at first $2 a day. ) Jeferson Ofters Library: The library was destroyed on Au- gust 24 and on September 21 Jeffer- son wrote from his home tendering his library to Congress.. The follow- | ing January this collection of 7,000 volumes was purchased for $33,950. Jefterson catalogued the library, which was later declared by A. R. Carpenter law library; in 1882, the Toner collection of 27,000 volumes, which contained among other inval-| uable publications an almost com- plete collection of copies of letters and papers of Gen. Washington. —_— And all he could say, was — Well, - good-bye, Jim—take 3" keer of yourself ™ Its arrange-|° JOSTUM comes in two forms: INSTANT POSTUM (in tins) made instantly in the cup by the addition of boiling—water.

Music and Sport Shop Georgetown Phone West 2878 4 POET, Riley, has told the story beautifully and well—how the old- fashioned father sent the boy out into the world. A heart full of affection and hope spoke only these words: “Well, good-bye, Jim; take k_e_er of yourself.” Enough to say, enough to hope for, enough to (_l_o—-take careof yourself—and there’s the foundation of safety, the promise of success. And how easy a thing to fail in! For instance, the common practice of coffee or tea-drinking administers to the system a dosing of drug whose harm has been pointed. out repeatedly by medical men, sometimes in alarming terms—and whose effect is very commonly found in over-excited nerves, sleep- lessness, irritability, indigestion, high blood pressure—lossof efficiency; failure to “get on.” The drug, caffeine in coffee and thein in tea, acts as a whip upon the nerves. Over- whipped nerves may run away, or break down, —like an over-whipped horsé. ‘Thousands of people have found for them- selves that they cannot safely drink coffee or tea. Some have had the news broken to them by their physicians, and many are complain- ing about symtoms of nervousness, sleepless- ness and lack of alertness during business hours, and wondering what the cause may be —when the cause probably is tea or coffee. A great many people who know they cannot safely drink coffee at night still hope they can go on with it at other times, and dodge the damage. How easy it is to fail to take care—and how hard the consequences usually are!

Main 5280 A of friendship and good will: “Take care of yourself.” Cheerfully, pleasantly, happily, Postum has brought the message and shown the way to increasing thousands in every land ~—*“Take care'of yourself.” Postum is a pure cereal beverage, a cup of kindness from Nature’s smiling grain fields —a table drink of charm without harm. ‘There’s no drug in Postum—but plenty of satisfaction and comfort. Postum can be enjoyed by every member of the family—no need to draw the danger line and warn away the children as is usually thought necessary with coffee and tea. And noneed to fear that Postum with the evening meal will rob the night of sleep—not Postum! Postum is a friendly drink, always. And it fully satisfies. Those who have tried Postum as a relief from the ills of coffee and ‘tea have kept on with Postum for itself. They have found better sleep, better feeling, better fitness —better health—and they do enjoy the taste of this splendid mealtime drink! If you are not yet one of the great army of Postum users, you can make the experiment now, without a bit of trouble, and with no sacrifice to taste or comfort. Order Postum from your grocer today, or tell your waiter at the hotel or restaurant to serve it to you. You can get Postum wherever good food and drink are sold or served. Have Postum prepared according to direc- tions, make the test of its use for ten days, compare your feeling with the old experience —and see whether you'want to turn back. - Postum points the way along the sunrise road—away from the risks—and gives you the message in which most of the good wishesof . life are summed up—*‘Take care of yourself.” “Theres a Reason” fr POSTUM Postum Cereal Company, Inc., Battle Creek, Michigan -
