[Speaker Tells of Press Clipping Bureau]
If you lose a leg the press clipping
bureau wants to know It. If a new
baby comes, that, too, has a commer
cial value to the shears queens who
scan hundreds of papers every day,
snipping out Items for which they
have a market.
Miss Katherine Worley, member of
Altrusa club, described her press clip
ping bureau business to sister mem
bers at Thursday night's meeting,
■gotel I'ontenelTe.
yress clipping bureaus exist all over
.iie country, each one having by a
tacit understanding Its own territory.
Miss Worley’s bureau rends papers
from Nebraska, western Iowa, South
Dakota and Wyoming. They clip
Items, classify them and mall them
twice a week to their customers.
Miss Worley did her first-press clip
ping bureau work at Elmwood, Neb.,
in 1896, with her parents' dining room
ns her office and the family table
h'T equipment. It was a political
press bureau and closed with the
campaign. Hut the "idea firmly
planted in Miss Worley's mind had
rooted. A few years later she entered
the business which has now become
her own.
If you are the mother of an in
fant, and you receive advertisements
from baby food companies and baby
carriage factories, you may be sure
that the concerns are subscribers to
a press clipping service.
If you lose a limb, you are "pros
pect" for artificial limb concerns,
who through press clipping services
throughout the country learn of prac
tically every individual w-ho has rea
ion to be Interested In what-they have
to sell.
Serious accidents sre likely to be
•ourt cases. Press bureaus antici
pate the demand for Information re
garding them by clipping from the
vary start all significant "copy" on
the subject.

our Problems |
Wheel Chair W’anted.
Dear Martha Allen: I have been
wondering If among the readers of
your column there Is some one who
could give a wheel chair to a little
cripple girl. She Is the child of a
widowed mother of five children and
has been crippled from birth. While
the family Is not destitute, yet they
cannot afford the wheel chair, l>y
which the girl, who Is 14 hut small,
■light he able to help herself and also
the younger children. MRS. R.
Miss Allen can furnish the name on
request.
Gene: Mishaps happen even to the
most careful person. When, however,
anything flies from the plate or lap
to the floor, one should allow the
aarvant to pick It up. - Should grease
or Jelly drop from the fork to one's
person, then remove it, with the nap
kind comer Is the only remedy.
Very often, however, the well con
ducted man or woman, when such an
accident befalls, gravely wipes his or
her knife on a bit of broad or the
plate's edge and heedfully scrapes
away the offending morsel. This Is
decidedly the wrong way to do It.
Just as It Is a bad error thoughtfully
to scrape up a bit of butter or frag
ment of fowl from tho table cloth
where It has fallen beside the plate
At the family board this Is well
enough, but at a restaurant or a
friend's table It Is bad manners.
If an unfortunate Individual over
turns a full water glass at a dinner
table, profuse apologies are out of
place. To give the hostess an ap
pealing glance and say: "Phase for
give me, I am very awkward." or, "I
must apologize for my stupidity, this
la quite unforgivable," Is enough.
Should a cup, glass or dish he
broken through carelessness, then a
quick, quiet apology can be made ami
within a few days sincere repentance
Indicated by forwarding to the host
ess. If possible, a duplicate of the
broken article and a contrite little
note.

bureau does its greatest business.
Bureaus in various sections vary
in scope. In Los Angeles the chief
business is with motion picture actors

Chronic coughs and persistent colds
lead to serious lung trouble. You. can
•top them now with Creomulsion, an
emulsified creosote that is pleasant to
take. Creomulsion is a new medical
discovery with twofold action; it soothes
and heals the inflamed membranes and
kills the germ.
Of all known drugs, creosote is rec
ognized by the medicul fraternity as the
greatest healing agency for the treat
ment of chronic c ighs and colds and
other forms of throat and lung troubles.
Creomulsion contains, in addition to
creosote, other healing elements which
soothe and heal the inflamed mem
branes and stop the irritation and in
flammation, while the creosote rocs on
to the stomach, is absorbed into the
blood, attacks the seat of the trouble
and destroys the germs that lead to
consumption.
Crrnmulsion is guaranteed satisfac
toty in the treatment of chronic roughs
ami colds, bronchial asthma, catarrhal
bronchitis und other farms of throat
and lung diseases, and is excellent for
building up the system after colds or
the flu. Money refunded if any cough
or cold, no matter of how long stand
ing, is not relieved after taking accord
ing to direction!. Ask your druggist.

Frank Rusk has returned from 10
days in Indlanola, la.
Jim will get the rest If you dreRs ami
get down stairs In time to give the
man a chance. That's the reason I'm
waking you now. But remember there
is nobody in the house to call you
if you go to sleep again. Goodbye.'
I stooped to kiss him, striving still
to keep the casual air which I find
my best weapon against, my hits
band's irritability. But with a srnoth
ered little objurgation Dicky pulled
me down beside him and kissed me
with an impetuous roughness which
bruised my lips.
"I ought to beat you up Instead ol
kissing you," he said, "but you r*
such a thundering good little scout
in spite of your fool notions—that
which there are none fooler—that 1
feel impelled to give you my blessing
before you depart.”
I returned has kiss warmly, even
as I released myself with a demur*
"Thank you for the kind words,"
which brought a lunge forward from
Dicky. It was his evident Intent tc
rumple my hair, a favorite trick ol
his when I am in a hurry.
"Not this time" I laughed as 1
slid out of the door while he shook
his fist at me In pretended anger.
Hut my heart was singing, for
there was something In the elasp of
| hls"?irms and the warmth of his kiss
which fortified me against his ab
sence of the next few days.
They also dispelled the jealous lit
tle conjectures which 1 vainly had
tried to banish from my mind ever
since Dicky had announced his inten
tion to go to the studio for a time
because he thought the members of
the family were getting on each other
other's nerves. His kisses and era
| brace had hern too spontaneous to
be feigned, or to be born of contri
tion and womanlike , I felt armored
against fate ns I sped down the stairs
to the automobile, where Mother
Graham sat fretting visibly and
audibly.
"Whatever in the world Is keeping
you Margaret?" she quired as I
opened the door to the driver's seat
"Nothing now," I smiled, stooping
to the switch key.
"There Isn't Koom!”
The fact that Kitie was already in
the seat beside me insured the fact
that all the materials for the picnic
were all stowed safely away in the
luggage van and that I need not
delay on that account.
Mother Graham's hand baggage
■ was piled on the floor of the ton
ncau, for she never trusts out of
her Immediate sight any piece of lug
gage which can he stowed near her
The fact that Marion, Junior and
she herself, had to keep their feet
stuck stiffly out ahead of them in
uncomfortable positions, made not
the slightest difference to the elderly
martinet, and I knew that before the
journey was half over I would find
it necessary to readjust things.
I made altogether too liberal an
estimate. "\Ve had gone less than
L'O miles when Junior—usually the
best of travelers—began to complain
vociferously about his legs hurting.
I stopped the car and turned
around to find Marion, who never
complains, with a little white line of
pain around her mouth, and I real
ized the child was suffering from the
most annoying of minor ills, a foot
asleep.
"I don't wonder the child's legs
hurt.” Mother Graham snapped when
I lifted Junior to the ground and
then assisted Marion down. “There
isn't room in here for one person,
let alone three, even If two are chil
dren. I didn't know' you were going
to fill the ear up or I would have
gone on the train.”
That this arrow was directed
against Katie I well knew, and from
the quick lifting of her head I real
Iz*d that it had round its ouiik ».i
my little maids h^art.
She made no other sign of rew- •
mem, however, something for which
1 was moat grateful. Hut her very
humility made mV resentment hot.

How Madge Got the Motor Party on
Its Way.
Dicky was distinctly sulky when
T awakened him and told him that
Jim would attend to his breakfast
wants because I ment to take Katie
with his mother, .Marion and Junior
on the automobile journey to the
Durkee house in Marvin.
"Always the busy little altruist,"
he growled. "Of course, it is very
nice to gratify our Katie’s desire for
the great open spaces, the glowing
camp fire and all the rest of It, but
if I miss that train because your
head is as soft as your heart believe
me, you'll wish-.”
"If you miss your train it will be
entirely your own fault.” I returned
with an air of complete detachment
from his affairs. "Your breakfast is
