Fifty yeare ago there was not a Press -cutting agency in the world. To- day there are several hundreds. There are fifty or more in Great Britain and More than that in the United States. In these Emu countries alone some 11Ity thousand persons are employed in tho business, while the capital in• vested is upwards of $50,000,000. Every capital city in the world has an agency of the kind. You find them not only in London, Paris, and New York but in Rio, Buenos Ayres, Mel. bourne, Johannesburg, and Yokohama. Their cuetomera are niunbere(l by tens of thuusande. Practically every man who holds any public position subscribes. All public companies, es- pecially railway and shipping com- panies are subscribers. Every Royalty bas albums full of Press-cnttings, while, naturally, actors, authors, and artiste, and all those belonging to similar professions are strong support- ers of the ageucies. Probably there is not one man or woman who has ever published a book or written a signed article for a pert odfcal, who has not pasted up a celiac - tion of criticisms trove the Press. Patronized By Everybody. Your dramatist gets more notices than any other writer, and is naturally greedy to know what tle critics think of his work. and the bill he pays to his agency may amount to twenty or twenty-five dollars a week, or even more. Prizefighters and politicians are equally good customers of the Press - clipper. ,Touruallets or authors who are work. lug o11 some special subject find the Press -clippings invaluable, They or- der fram several different bureaux at once everything that may he appear- ing in this World', Press on this par- ticular subject, and so obtain Informa- tion which could not be obtained in auy other 'way. Omni. agencies make a specialty of this sort of thing-_ that is, supplying intormation; otihere go In fur per - 'meal matters, othcros again fur criti- cism. some include all kinds of work. The papers which get meet heavily clipped are the Society Journals. Society noruen are greedy to collect` every paragraph iii which their names appear, and, more particularly, photo- graphs and pictures reproducing their feature:.. There is one agency which confines itself to scientific and medical Jour- nals. Re clients aro mainly doctors and scientists, and some- of them are uncommonly good customers. The late icing Edward not only sub- scribed to two Press -cutting agencies, but sometimes •himself clipped pic- tures of his royal features appearing in the public prints. His sense of hunter protected him against annoy- ance, and caricatures of himself mere- ly made him laugh. It is interesting to note that the or. dered cuttings from Americau as well as British sources. For Official Use. The best of royal patrons of the '$cess -cutters was not, as might be supposed, the ex -Kaiser, but the late Czar of Russia. He had a row of volcanos of ellppine in all European languages, A secretary was kept al• ways busy pasthag these up. Mr. W. T. Stead, the late editor of "Review of Reviews," is believed to have possessed more Press -cuttings than any other man in England. They are said to have suggested to him the plan of "Review of Reviews." Even Government departments do not despise the Press-outtings, There is at Whitehall a giganttc collection of such cuttings relating to the late war, while the official history of the Spanish-American War was Iargely compiled from current newspapers. Any of the first -cines agencies em- ploy from flfty to a hundred clerics, and send out front fifty to one hundred thousand cuttings weekly, The avor- age price is five dollars a hundred clippings, and to their credit it should be mouttoned that Press -clipping agen- cies have not turned profiteers or in- creased their' prices so greatly as have most other businesses, • Gave It Away. "Leach played mo a mean tricic the other day," complained Robinson. "Whitt did he do?" asked Nelson, in surprise.

Food is as Important to the sick per - sou as medlclae, more s0 In most 00000. A badly choeen diet may we. tard recovery. In health the natural appetite is the best guide to follow: in sickness the appetite is often tickle and depraved. Proper food and a good tonic will keep most people in good health. Dr, Williams' Pink Pills are the most popular tonic medicine In the world, harmless and certain in their action, which is to build up the blood and re- store the vitality to the run-down ears - tem. For growing girls who become thin and pale, for pale, tired women, and for old people who fall in strength Dr, Williams' Pink Pills are an ideal tonic. Thousands of people have testified to the healtiegiving dualities of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and in many homes they are the only medi- cine used. Among the homes in which the benefit of this medicine has been proved is that of Mr. E. A. Un- derwood, Kingston, Ont, who says:— "I have used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills with thq most beneficial results. As the result of hard work I was very much run down, and my appetite was very poor. I got a supply of the pills which I used regularly for some weeks with the result that they restored me to my old time strength. They also Proved a blessing to my daughter, who was in a very anaemic condition, and who seemed not, to get more than temporary relief from any medicine until she took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. She took the pills for about three months, and is now enjoying the best of heltlth. For these reasons I can strongly recommend. Dr• Williams' Pink Pills." At the first sign that the blood is out of order take Dr. Williams' Pialc Pills, and note the speedy improve- ment they make in the appetite, health and spirits. You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail at 60 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. r (Grow Tall in Red. How many people are aware that we are shorter when standing than when lying, and taller In the morning thau In the evening? An Englishman was the first to die - cover this, hut afterwards Dr. Marand of the Royal Academy of France made several experiments to prove the theory. He found atter a year's trial that weeny in •the sight he gained al- most three•oigliths of an inert, and lost almost as mach during the day.

A Good Defence. The case looked black against the prisoner, who was charged with loiter- ing suspiciously at the railway sta- tion. Presently the magistrate said stern- ly: "This lady says you tried to speak to her at the railway station." "It was a mistake," pleaded the auto in the dock• "I was looking for mF wife's young niece, whom I've never seen, but who'd been described to me as a handsome young lady, with golden hair. well -cut features, fine comple xlon, perfect figure, beautifully dress- ed, and—" With a charming blush, the princi- pal witness against him interrupted his flow of eloquence. "I don't wish to prosecute the gen- tleman, sir," else said to the magis- trate. "Any one might have made the same mistake." HEALTH FOR THE BABY The baby of to -day is the man or woman of tomorrow. Thus the suc- cess of the future man or woman de- pends upon the baby's present wel- fare.

Robertson, without waiting for orders'. and entirely on his own initiative, rushed towards the German gun, defy- ing the machine gun's withering Sire. Moreover, our artillery barrage was so Intense that death seemed almost certain, Working his way to the flank, he eventually found an opening in the wire, got through and crawled until the end of the 0nmplacement was reached. Rising suddenly to his feet he charged down on the astonished Germans, and killed four of the gun crew before they could recover from their surprise. The remainder fled in terror, but their flight was soon eat short when Robertson seized the abandoned gun, screwed it around and poured a hall of bullets upon the backs of the feet disappearing enemy. Several,.of them f'eIl victims to their own weapon and others wore caught by our shells. When the remainder of the platoon arrived Robertson was still firfug the captured gun. It was entirely duo to his heroic action that the whole line was enabled to advance and capture the final objective. Rob- ertson went forward with the first wave, taking a gun with hint. He used it very effectively to keep down the fire of German machine guns and snipers, while his platoon consoli- dated the new position, hater In the day, when two of our snipers who ventured in front of our lines were wounded, Robertson volunteered to bring then in, Ile went into the open, although exposed to a heavy enemy fire, lifted one man on his back and carried him safely to the trench and immediately returned to the second man, staggering back with his un- conscious burden while the bullets whistled around bim, But as if cruel fate were awaiting until the last pos- sible moment to overtake him, he was killed on the very parapet of the trench, his mission almost accamp- Relied.
