Simply because there is a shortage of vital minerals in the body.

That is the reply, supported by the best medical opinion. Calchin is the vital food of every body cell, and any shortage hinders the correct performance of all bodily functions, particularly those of women.

We must not forget that a pub le service is a pubile trust. May I quote for you the distinguished American Librarian Mr. W: W. B shop. In an address at Wisconsin Library School he said: "Every age of icence in the world's litera- ture has dubbed its critics old fogies, and committed iterary crimes in the name of liberty. A sore problem is set for us librarians who are keen to be up-to-date, to provide the talked of books," to furnish our various publics with the best in current letters, and who are neither squeamish nor straight laced." But we have a duty to our se ves and to our tolk-those who employ us. When we buy a book for a public library we say in el- fect: This is a book at to be read I can only urge real cour- Age in dealing with the question."
