While the opinion so general abroad as to the horrible shrillness and gen eral unpleasantness of the voices of American women is, without a doubt, foolishly exaggerated, there can be no question but that the really beautiful voice in this country Is a rarity. Of not one woman in 50 can it be truth fully said “Her voice was ever soft, gentle and low; an excellent thing in woman." Women of refinement polish their finger nails, visit their hairdress ers regularly, pay scrupulous attention to all the details of their toilet —and utterly neglect what should be their greatest charm —their speaking tones. The low, sweet voice throws all shrill, high-pitched demonstrations into the background, and makes them infantile and ridiculous. Listen, just for an en lightening experiment, to a nervous, overwrought woman arguing in a shrieking tone with another who is calm, self-possessed and low-voiced. And then, if you are a typical Ameri can shrieker, go to your home and make a vow to think twice before you speak once. BABY HAD SCALP TROUBLE Carthage, Texas. —“My little girl had some kind of breaking out on her head that came in white blisters and when the blisters hurst they formed some thing like scales. If I washed her head and combed the scales off they ■would come again in just a few days. The trouble looked something like dandruff but was hard and scaly and when the scales would come off all of the hair came also and would leave the head raw. “I had tried salves which only soft ened" the scales so I decided to use Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I washed her head with warm water and Cuticura Soap and then applied the Cuticura Ointment and let it remain over night. I used only one box of Cuticura Ointment and one bar of Cuticura Soap and her head was well.” (Signed) Mrs. Luella Biggs, Jan. 28, 1914. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world.

One of the grievances of suffragists is the inferior position occupied by women as parents. A couple of days ago a woman, whose husband had, so far as she knew, gone down in the Empress of Ireland, applied to the Willesden magistrates for a vaccina tion exemption for her infant son. She was informed’from the bench that the exemption order could not be granted until the father’s death was legally proved, as “the law did not recognize her as the parent of the child.” Ii the law does not enable a woman to rank as the parent of her children it must he a “hass” of the most asinine type.—London Globe.

NAMES CAUSE OF CONFUSION Incident That Was Embarrassing Alike to Newspaper Man and Lady He Was Sent to Interview. Names can produce sometimes a great deal of confusion. As when Flor ence D. White, now one of the head men of the New York World, went to a hotel in St. Louis when he was a reporter on the Post Dispatch to see a woman on business. His card read, “Florence D. White,” and the woman naturally inferred that Florence was of her own sex. Therefore she asked the visitor to come up. And as she was not dressed to receive one of the other sex, the climax was embarrassing. A visitor from Columbus was tell ing a story of Ireland, the clever car toonist of the Columbus Dispatch. Ire land’s work is known to every man, woman and child in Columbus, and to a great many outside that city. • Last spring Ireland went on a va cation trip to the South. A few days later a teacher of geography in one of the schools of Columbus said to her class: “Can any little girl tell me where Ireland is?” A little hand went up and a little voice replied: “He’s down in Flori da." 111-Mannered Genius.

DISAPPEARED Coffee Alls Vani3h Before Postum. It seems almost too good to be true, the way headache, nervousness. Insomnia, and many other obscure troubles vanish when coffee is dis missed and Postum used as the regu lar table beverage. The reason is clear. Coffee con tains a poisonous drug—caffeine— which causes the trouble, but Postum contains only the food elements in choice hard wheat with a little mo lasses. A Phila. man grew enthusiastic and wrote as follows: “Until 18 months ago I used coffee regularly every day and suffered from headache, hitter taste in my mouth, and indigestion; was gloomy and irri table, had variable or absent appetite, loss of flesh, depressed in spirits, etc. “I attribute these thing 3 to coffee, because since I quit it and have drank Postum I feel better than I had for 20 years, am less susceptible to cold, have gained 20 lbs. and the symptoms have disappeared —vanished before Postum.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Ancient Stronghold on the Danube Was Subject to Attack Time and Again by Different Nations — Familiar With War. ' Londofe—Where the blue Danube and the sluggish Sava meet, less than three score miles from the Hungarian frontier, sits Belgrade, city of sieges. War is nothing novel to Belgrade—the city was the very bone of contention in days gone by, when the now degen erate Turk pounded at the doors of Christendom and threatened to sweep Europe, even as Attila, the Hun, did centuries before. Time and again, Belgrade felt the attack of the Mos lem; time and again, Servian, Monte negrin and Hungarian heroes hurled back the Invader. Zririy, a veritable host, accomplished seeming miracles in defense of Europe—Hunyadi saved middle Europe from Turkish ravages, and —always, Belgrade bore the brunt of the battling. In those days the town was divided into two sections, the old Russian, or Sava-Makhala district, and the Tur kish, Dorcol, or Cross-Road section. So far back as the third century, B. C., Belgrade was fortified by the Celts, who named the place Singidunum, by which appellation it was known until the seventh century, A. D. Prom the Servian Girl in Gala Costume beginning of the fourth to the end of the sixth centuries, Belgrade changed i its masters repeatedly. Huns, Sarma tians, Goths and Gepids held it by turn until Emperor Justinian brought It under Roman rule. Toward the end of the eighth century it was captured -by the Franks of Charlemagne. A hundred years later, the Bulgarians took possession, to be ousted two cen turies later by the Byzantine Emperor, Basil 11. In 1124 the Hungarians un der King Stephen took it from the | Greeks, from which time it changed hands repeatedly, Greeks, Bulgarians i and Hungarians fighting , for its pos session. The city, considered the key j to Hungary, was called Darol-i-Jehad, “the home of wars for faith,” by the Turks and they used every endeavor , to capture and keep it. In 1427 it was ceded to the Hungar lans by the Servians. In . 1456 the Turks sought its capture and were j completely routed by Hungarians un , der John Hunyadi and John Capis , tran, the fighting monk. In 1521, Sul tan Suleiman captured the strong hold, to hold it until 1688, when the Austrians took i.t, only to lose it two years later. In 1717, Prince Eugene 1 of Savoy captured Belgrade for the 1 Austrians, who kept it until 1739, when the Turks again obtained a foot hold. They kept the Servian town un ; til 1789, when the Austrians carried it by assault, losing it once more, three 1 years later. In 1807, the Servians over -1 whelmed the Turkish garrison, keep ing possession for six years, wHen the Turks again turned the tables. SJntil 1862 the Turks kept a garri son In Belgrade, and it was not until Prince Michael of Servia threatened war and the Powers brought pressure to beacon Turkey that the latter coun -1 try withdrew its troops. Since then 1 Servia has been in possession. , BABY LAYS LOW A “HOODOO” Ho Is Made the Fourteenth at a Wed ding Feast and Removes Super stitions of Bride.

President Porflrio Diaz, who ruled over Mexico for more than a quarter of a century as an absolute dictator, believed that only such iron rule could bring peace and progress to the half civilized millions of that country. Several years ago, when his power was still unbroken, an American, who was on intimate terms with him, ven tured to suggest that the Mexicans were now prepared for a more liberal form of government, and hinted that his rule was too severe.
