From now on I'm letting the bank keep my cash safe. It's tough luck, when you're getting on in years, to lose the very thing you.ve been counting on, but what I want to do is to let other people profit by my loss. Don't cake any chances let the bank take care of your money and then you'll have it safe an<r>?i'vo for the things you want to buy when the war's ov- er. SFND IN YOUR RENEWAL.

We don't pretend to understand all the technical preparations of a "cut" as such a picture is known, but the following general explanation may be f interest. When we receive a potograph or snapshot we intend to run in The Ad- vance, we have to send it out-of-town to have a cut prepared. Daily papers and some of the weeklies, of course, have their own engraving plants where this work is done, but such is not the case with the average weekly newspaper. > The most common process is one which makes use of acids the picture is rephotographed on a zinc plate, ami acids burn the picture into the plntc, forming a "cut" from which reproductions can be made on paper.
