Borgundy The Vintage of 1917 has been adversely affected by the rains, the differ-nos in the Wine made during the first half of the Vintage and that made in the second half being very marked, though that gathered in the first half will be little inferior to the Wins of 1996. This Vintage and that of 1904 are indeed mest excellent.

Champagno.-The Wines made at the start promise to be of sound ordinary quality, but torrential raios bave spoilt the Vintage. There is, however, plenty of the 1900 Vintage still on the market, and the Vintages of 1904 and 19 6 will be in every way satisfactory.

THE BOOK OF THE UNION JACK CLUB.

The Council of the Ualon Jack Club have already sancunsad their intention of producing an illustrated book next year, containing artialos, stories, poems, and sketches by well-known anthers and artists, in order to obtain tho necessary funds for building the much needed extension of the Club. The amount required is of £10,000. It is hoped that with the sssistance

the atid be ts of friends of tha Navy and Army the Club among the general public, the number The of copies sold will resuh half-a-million price of a spy will be Is. net. The book will bo publish a throughout the British Empire, and the Council onfidently expect that many firme in the United Kingdom will consider it an excellent median for advertisemeate on secount of the en mous slronlation. In taking advantage of this opportunity, every advertiser will get fall value for his favest want and at the same time support a deserving untional causs,

In beir previous commsaicstion the Council render assistance by contributing towards the supply of paper, ink, blocks, &^, and also help with the printing sud pablishing. It is most grating to not that airuady several firms, whose name will be subeg ently announced, hey ganaronsly responded to this invitation, bat farther support is still needed to reduce the Council have every reason to be ieve that they cost of the production ta minimum.

If you are run-down" or nut of condition-no definite illness, but feel seedy, apporto poor, and digestion not quite right-you cannot do better than to take a course of Angier's Emulsion. This preparation combines the healing curatives. properties of our specially purified petroleum with the tonic properties of the hypophosphites of lime and enda. Pleasant to take, it promotes appetite, and keeps the digestive organs in a healthy condition so that they perform their functions.naturally. without the aid of digestives or apuricuts. It also promotes the assimilation of all forms of nou islament, and cuables the patient to derive the greatest possible benefit from his ordinary daily food. Angier's Emulsion is wonderfully effective in building up the health and strength after feyers or after any illness that has left the system, in a weakened run-down con- dition. It is also unequalled for coughs and lung affections.
