Sorrow becomes Joy when it leads

ANGLO-AMERICAN
MAGAZINE DEAL
Scheme to Sell Articles to
Editors From Advance
Proofs.

LONDON, December 12.-Here Il
first news of big magazine deal that
is of especial interest in America. a
good many of the English magazines
and reviews that have no American
editions have. been experimenting at
| odd times with schemes for selling the
right to use their articles in America
to American publications. But moth
ing much ever came of it on account
of copyright difficulties, and the con-
sequence was that any American ed
itor who was so disposed could crib as
much as he liked from English period
icals without paying a cent for 1t.
That wouldn't have hurt the feelings
of the English editors so much if they
had been able to return the compli-
ment. But unfortunately for them
the English copyright laws are such
that the American editor can easily
copyright the contents of his maga-
zine in England without expense,
whereas it is almost impossible for the
English editor TO copyright his mate
rial in America without heavy cost.
Furthermore, enterprising Americans
over here, acting in behalf of the
American editors, sell great quantities
of articles from American magazines
to the English editors. The total of
such sales have increased from month
to month in the past year until there
is now quite steady tide of English
money going across the Atlantic, and
some of the English magazines have
become about half-American.
Last month, however, an American
firm, having its headquarters in Lon
don, got contracts from practically all
of the leading English magazines, in
eluding three naughty reviews, for the
exclusive control of the American
rights of whatever these magazines
might contain that would be of inter
est to American readers. The copy
right difficulty is surmOunted by an
arrangement by which proofs of the
English articles are to be sent over to
the United States well in advance of
English publication, enabling Ameri-
can purchasers to put them in type
and secure copyright on the day of
publication in England, as required by
American law.
The scheme is already in operation,
and a great mass of English maga-
zine material has gone over to New
York for sitting and for distribution
of the best of it among appropriate
editors. Much of it is bound to find
its way to the waste basket, as being
either too English or not good enough;
but there is likely to be a residue suf-
fieient TO make a considerable differ
ence presently in the complexion of
the American magazines, especially in
the direction of literary articles.

THE BRIGHT SIDE

of life. 1t is a feeling common
to the majority of us that we
do not get quite the amount of
happiness we are entitled to.
Among the countless things
which tend to make us more or
less miserable i'll health takes
the first place. No doubt a
crippled liver with the result
ing impure blood, is the cause of
more mental gloom than any
other single thing. And who
can reckon up the fearful aggre-
gate of pain, loss and fear a.
n ing from the many diseases
which are familiar to mankind;
like a vast cloud it hangs over
a multitude no one can number.
You can see these people every
where. For them life can scarce
ly be said to have any "bright
side" at all. Hence the eager
ness with which they search for
relief and cure. Remedies like
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
have not attained their high po-
sition in the confidence of the
people by bald assertions and
boasting advertisements. They
are obliged to win it by doing
actually what is claimed for them.
That this remedy deserves its
reputation is conceded. 1t is
palatable as honey and contains
all the curative properties of
pure Cod Liver Oil, combined
with the Compound Syrup of
Hypophosphites and the Extracts
of Malt and Wild Cherry. No
thing has such a record of sue
cess in Scrofula, Influenza.
Throat and Lung Troubles, and
emaciating complaints and dis
orders that tend to undermine
the foundations of strength and
vigour. Its use helps to show
life's brighter side. Professor
Reddy, of Canada, says: (" / have
much pleasure in stating that I
have used it in cases of debility
and found it to be a very valu-
able remedy as well as pleasing
to take" You cannot be disap1
pointed In it. Sold py chemists.
