SIR HERBERT S. HOLT.
The Most Unpretentious Big Mil-
lionaire in Canasta..
Sir Herbert S. Holt, of Montreal,
recently honored with a knight-
hood, is said to be the most modest
and retiring of Canada's million-
aires, He is one of the biggest
power and transportation men in
the Dominion, but he doesn't go
in for social or club life of any
kind and is personally known to
very few people.
Sir Herbert Holt came to Can-
ada in 1875 as a nineteen -year-old
immigrant from Ireland. He had
been given a training in mathemat-
ics .and. engineering at Trinity Col-
lege, Dublin. and he was given a
job by James Ross, of Montreal, on
the Victoria Railway, a crude little
lumbering line, extending north
from Lindsay into the forests of
Haliburton. Young Holt made him-
self very useful, and when Ross
moved to Toronto as superintendent
of the 'Credit Valley Railway, later
absorbed by the C.P.R., he brought
Holt with him. The young engineer
had a good deal to do with the con -
Sir II. S. bolt.
struction of its various extensions.
In 1883 James Russ moved again—
going to the \Vest as superintendent
of construction on the prairie divi-
sion of the C.P.R.—and again he
took young Holt with him.
Power ills Monument.
' About the same time • William
Mackenzie and D, D. Mann went
West. Holt soon saw that there was
more money in the contracting busi-
ness than in working on salary as
an engineer, and he spent seven
years in that business, being all the
time more or less in touch with
Mackenzie, Mann and Ross. Re-
turning to Montreal, he directed his
energies to getting control of that
city's power and light facilities. He
first bought out the old Montreal
gas company. Then he acquired the
Royal Electric Company, and by
.Gill•. /.

degrees buying out competing cam-
panies or crushing them, he evolved
the present Montreal Light, Heat,
and Power Company, with its aeven-
teen million dollar capital and 'ts
almost absolute monopoly in the.
city and distriet of Montreal.
Montreal Power is the monument
H. S. Bolt has reared to his prow'
ess as a financier, He 'knows all
about that company, and its equip-
ment, He is the company's own re-
sident engineer, and has traveled
all over the world ilrlpriving . his
knowledge of electrical- engineering
problems.
He is also a bank president, be-
ing head of the Royal Bank. By the
way he has the unique distinction.
of having been president of two
banks, for he was the first presi-
dent of the ill-fated Sovereign
Bank, and held that office fpr three
years. Sir Herbert is a director of
the C.P.R. and is a liberal invest-
or in stocks of any kind that- have
a basis of industrialism. He is one
of the biggest of Montreal's finan-
cial magnates—one of the inner cir-
cle. Personally he is also a big
man. He is rather 'better than six
feet in height, and his frame is
powerful and well knit --that of a
man who lived his early life out-
doors and was very much at home
there. .
There is nothing of the mixer
about this new Montreal knight. He
spends most of his time between his
house on Stanley Street and his of-
fice in the Power Building on Craig
Street. Usually he makes a trip
across the Atlantic once a year, but
the rest of the time he lives quietly
at home. He doesn't care for clubs -
'and has few intimates.
A .f'IOTI ER'S ANXIETY
Most mothers are anxious when
their little ones' are teething, for at
this time the baby's stomach gets
disordered and there is a, grave
danger of convulsions. This anxiety
can be lessened•, however, if the
mother keeps a supply of Baby's
Own Tablets in the, house and gives
an occasional dose to her teething
baby. The' Tablets are the very
best medicine in the world during
the teething time. They regulate
the bowels, sweeten the stomach,
promote healthful sleep and make
teething painless. -They are sold by
medicine dealers or by mail at 25
cents.a box from The Dr. Williams'.

Que., Jan. 25th (Special)—"I aifl

Pills made me well.." So says Jean
Baptiste Tapp, a well known and
highly respected resident of this
place. And so thankful is Mr. Tapp
for the benefits he has received from
Dodd's Kidney Pills that he wants
the whole world to know it. He
wants others who suffer as he did
to know She cure.
"For many years I suffered from
kidney disease," Mr. Tapp says,
"It started from a cold, and gradu-
ally grew worse. My skin ha,d' a
harsh, dry feeling, my :appetite was
fitful and I perspired freely with the
slightest exertion. I had flashes of
light before my eyes and T was al-
ways tired and nervous.
"Finally rheumatism was added
to my troubles, while attacks of
sciatica and neuralgia followed. The
doctor who attended ire and the.
medicines I tried, failed to help me
till I decided to use Dodd's Kidney
Pills. I took four boxes in all, and
to -day I ani a robust man in excel-
lent health."
All Mr. Tapp's troubles came
from sick kidneys. That's why
'Dodd's Kidney Pills cured them.
SEARCHLIGHTS IN WAR.
Carried to All Parts of the Field by
Motor Truck.
In modern warfare the searchlight is
invaluable. On dark nights at sea it is
the only means of guarding against
torpedo boats, which its beams will re-
veal at a distance of two miles or more.
On shore it is the electric eye of the
army. It is carried to all parts of the
field of action by motor truck, and the
motor that propels the vehicle drives
the electric generator that supplies the
current for the light. Most of these
field searchlights are not directed by
hand, for each instrument is fitted with
what is known as the distant control.
Two small motors govern the vertical
and the horizontal movements of the
light. From them an electric cable
runs to the station of the operator,
who , although he may be several
hundred feet away, can send the rays
of the light in, any direction he pleases.
According to the Navy and Army Illus -
t Ated, one advantage of this distant
control is that the objects picked up
by the beam of light can be sighted

HEROIC RUSSIAN NURSES.
Seventeen Red Cross Women Have
Been Billed in Battle.
Seventeen women nurses in the
Russian Red Cross service have
been killed on the battlefield while
in the performance of their duty.
An official "eye witness" attached
to the staff of Grand Duke Nicholas,
the Russian' commander-in-chief,
says that the nurses have shown
conspicuous bravery.
The latest victim was Mlle. Lud-
mila Alexinsky, who has just died
at her hoane near Odessa of blood -
poisoning, which followed a wound.
Mlle. Alexinsky was wounded in the
hand at the battle of Gumbinen.
After her recovery she was trans-
ferred to the army of General Ruz-
ski in Galicia. At Razwadok, a doc-
tor, whom she was assisting, was
Milled by a bursting shell and Mlle.
Alexinsky was badly stunned. Dur-
ing the Rsgow-Tusdhin battle she
was under fire 17 hours. She was
wounded through the shoulder at
the storming of Petrokoff, which
wound caused her death.

"I was simply in such agony .I
couldn't stand it with that attack
of plumbago."
"What did you do?"
"I got the doctor to give me a
morphine interjection."

GERMAN W0MEI SOLDIERS.
Seven Denies Seen in Russia,
Fighting in Ranks of Raiser.
The London Daily Chronicle ways;
"There appears from time to tune
in the Russian papers a stat-ament
that women.volunteer's are fighting
in the German ranks, and now 'tile
Warsaw correspondent of the Dyna;
of Petrograd, has actually seen
these, amazons among the wounded
at present being treated at the
Ouyazdoff hospital. He says `there
were seven women who were cap-
tured while fighting in German uni-
forms. They were placed together
in a special ward.
"Judging by the nature of their
wounds they have taken part not
only in rifle practice, but also in
bayonet attacks. One of them, who
had a serious wound, has singe died.
They are fine specimens of Teutonic
womanhood, and ' the Russian
nurses greatly admire their finely
developed muscles, which seem to
indicate that they have belonged
for years to German gymnastic so-
cieties.
"In captivity they behave with
the same haughty and contemptu-
ous indifference which characterizes
the Prussian officers.' One of the
nursing sisters brought to them a
Russian newspaper, the Petrograd
Herald, which is printed in German
but they indignantly rejected the of-
fer and said they did not believe
anything which appeared in aRus-
sian paper, even when printed in
German. They refused to talk of
their homes and families, but, judg-
ing by their demeanor, they seem to
belong to the upper or upper -mid-
dle class."
Death Nearly Claimed

When Hope Had Gone.
St. John, N.B., Dec. 15,—At one
time it was feared that Mrs., J. Grant,
of 3 White St., would ruccuanb to the
deadly ravages of advanced kidney
trouble. "My first attacks of back-
ache and kidney trouble began years
ago. For six years that dull gnawing
pain has been present. When I ex-
erted myself it was terribly intense
