Youngest Drummer in the Civil War.

Judging by the honorable discharge
certificates he is able to produce, says
a writer in the Brooklyn Eagle, Ed
ward Duffy, Of Brooklyn, has right
to call himself the youngest drummer
in the Civil War who is still alive. He
was born in Mania ttan on January Z,
1850, and enlisted in the army when
between ~ and 13 years old.
He Joined the Thirty-third Indiana
Regiment, commanded by General
John Coburn, June 1, 1863, and was
mustered out July 3, 1856. He was in
line ut Cumberland Gap, the first
struggle in which the Thirty third par
ticipated, and was one Of the musi-
clans with Sherman on the famous
march to the sea.
Duffy has had plenty of adventure
throughout his life. Running the
breastworks at Atlanta under fire Of
sharpshooters affords one instance.
Possibly, as he suggests, being boy,
the marksmen wished to scare rather
than kill him, but as man who tried
to pull him into the trench for safety
was killed, it is not best to be too sure
about the matter. He had another
memorable experience, at Peach Tree
Greek, near Atlanta. The stream was

New Styles in Hair Dressing.

Hairdressing has undergone a re-
generation Of late years, and women
are beginning to study the styles
which best suit the contour Of the
faces, instead Of following blindly the
latest fad. How women could so long
endure the fiat, smooth bands Of hair
once so fashionable is problem, for
unquestionably hairdressing makes or
mars woman's appearance.
Low coihfures are being worn, but
not the low couture Of the last few
years, for the new dressing begins
very low on the neck and reaches to
the crown Of the head, which makes it
a very becoming style to stout faces.
Many devices are resorted to to do
away with the stiff pompadour effect,
and the hair, after being waved, may
be loosely drawn back from the face,
or parted and held full at the sides
with combs. Happy the woman
with low forehead with the hair
growing softly about her face, for she
is saved time and trouble.
The French twist has reappeared
and is the fashion Of the moment. The
hair is drawn low to the back and
twisted to make it firm; it is then bent
in the middle and allowed to flare
little at the sides, which are pulled to-
ward the top Of the head to form puffs
and fastened with huge pins. The front
hair is drawn loosely back with side
combs, and top comb finishes the
dressing at the crown Of the head.
A very attractive style for young
face is called the art nouveau. The
hair is curled and parted, being allow

New England's Irish Mayors.

The Boston Republic presents pic
lures of eight Irsll-Americans who
were chosen mayors of their respec-
tive towns in Massachusetts at the
municipal elections held recently. Bos-
ton reelected Mayor Patrick A. Col
Inns. Twenty years ago Boston had
her first Irisll-Amcrican mayor in
Hugh O'Bricn, now deceased. He was
the first Catholic mayor to be elected
i'm Massachusetts.
Fall River, Mass, n city of some
thing over hundred thousand inhabi-
tants, elected John II. Coughlin mayor,
and Lowell, with a population of about
one hundred thousand, elected James
b. Casey mayor. The city Of Cam
bridge, which is the seat of Harvard
University. but which has become an
1rish-Amcrican city, reelected Judge
Augustin J. DAILY mayor. His oppon-
ent, was also an Irish-American. Law
renee, Massachusetts, which has n
population OF 1O,OU, elected Cornelius
+. Lynch mayor.
Northampton, in the western sec
ton of Massachusetts, elected T. NJ.
Conner mayor and Medford and Wo-
burn, in the eastern part of the state
elected Michael f. Dwycr and Law
renee =. Read respectively mayors.
Patrick J. Boyle is mayor of Newport,
Il. l., and several other Rhode Island
towns like Pawtucket and Woon-
socket have Irish-American mayors.
Just fifty years ago Boston had a
Know Nothing mayor in jerome c.
Smith, and in 1916 Boston had Ma
tive-American mayor in Thomas A.
Davis. Times or rather populations,
have changed. The second generation

AS the big boats could not be manned,
Duffy was one of those who swan

fruit to the sailors.
Since his active army days ended,
Duffy has lead varied life. He lived
for years in indianapolis and Shelby
vile, Ind, and in Topeka, Lawrence
and Sterling, Kan. At many of these
places he taught drum corps of the
G. \. II. and at the last place was
member of Meade Post. Among his
more distant scenes Of activity were
Mexico, where he served in the Twen-
ty-Second Infantry, and in Dakota
among the Sioux Indians with the
Twenty-second Infantry; also in Colo
RADIO, where he worked for the Santa
Fe railroad.
The Twentieth Army Corps, in
which he was included in the active
days of the Civil war, was command
ed by Fighting Joe Hooker. Since re-
turning to Brooklyn, Duffy has some
times drummed for Stephenson Post,

Cultivate the Speaking Voice.

did you notice her voice?" asked
school teacher of b friend, after a
pretty young lady had stopped in the
street to speak to her.
YES; it is very low and sweet"
II spent years, when she was in my
school, in trying to bring it down. 1t
was pitched-dear me! 1 shouldn't
dare tell you how high, for you would
not believe me. 1 succeeded better in
lowering 1t than 1 did with some 9TH
er similarly afflicted pupils, because
she constantly tried to help me-"
1t is an astonishing fact that most
people make no effort to improve the
quality of the voice in speaking.
Everybody" says successful mu-
sic teacher, ''can learn to sing after a
fashion"
That theory has been so universally
accepted that even persons possessed
of a modicum of musical talent are de-
sirous Of cultivating it. Yet, speak,
ing, a part of the necessary business
of life, is left to regulate itself. Some
women squeak or pipe, as the case
may be, all the time deploring the mis-
fortune Of possessing a bad voice, but
allowing nature to take care of her,
self. People are not grammatical with
out care andthought in the use Of Ian
guage; why should they expect to COM
mand musical tones without being
equally painstaking?
Constant vigilance will enable any
one, in the face of any ordinary dis
ability, to soften the voice, or lower
it, if it be too high. 1t may also be
greatly improved in quality and ex-
pressiveness.
No one can afford to relinquish any
attainable charm, and an agreeable
voice is within reach of many persons
who might depend upon it as their
sole attraction.

Manners and Love

This bit of advice is given by
mother to her son in Miss Glasgow's
new novel, 'The Deliverance":
"I have had a fortunate life, my
child resumed the old lady, waving
him to silence with gesture in which

into the seventies one learns great
deal of wisdom, and there is much
good advice that one ought to leave

iously the mounting excitement in her

"'And if you do marry, Chris

on her favorite string, remember that
keeping in love is as much the pro-
fcssiOn for Il man as it is the art Of
a woman, and that love feeds OH lit

drink. Don't forget the little things,
dear, and the big ones will take care

men and manners in my life, and they
have taught me that it is the small
failings, not the big faults, which are
deMlliest to love. Why, I've seen

hiding the ears, while the back is ar
ranged in a low coil, much lower and
much larger than the Psyche knot.
For a woman to whom the high
dressing is most becoming, the hair
is gathered up in high loose waves
over a soft pompadour and the ends
are formed into small puffs, which are
pinned closely to the crown Of the
head in a small group. This style of
dressing appeals especially to women
who are not overburdened with lux
ulious growth of hair.
The out-of-dat coronation curl has
again been brought forward for young
girls, and sometimes two are worn
especially if the neck is slender, when
they are most becoming drawn to fall
on either side Of the face.

oh, how dread the cold that is GER

girl.
''Do you dry it carefully?'
"Always, but it makes no difference.
1 never wash my hair without suffer-
ing from cold and neuralgia"
''Well, then, why don't you try dry

"Not drop. Have several clean
brushes, an old silk handkerchief and
some good bay rum. Part the hair
through the middle and again across
behind the ears. Brush gently in long
even strokes, but firmly enough to
reach the scalp and remove all dust
and dandruff; then separate the hair
in small strands, shaking each well
to dislodge any remaining particles of
dust. Brush again, using another
clean brush, and finish by wiping each
strand with clean, soft handker-
chief. You will be delighted to see
how bright the hair is. Apply bay
rum to the scalp with a small sponge
and rub it in well with the finger tips.
Bay rum is valuable tonic as we'll

and dry. A better preparatio even

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disnfectant and purifier in nature,
but few realize its value when taken
into the human system for the same
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more
you take Of it the better: it is nut y
drug at All. but simply absoros IL,
gases and impurities always pr. set.
in the stomach and inteStlues aud car
ries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath ar'e.
smoking, drinking or after eating on
lens or other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and inn
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t abs RIBS the injurious gases which
collect in he stomach and bowels: it
disinfecis the mouth and throat from
the poison OF catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in Cno
form or another, but probaly the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Charcoal l.Czenges: they
are composed of the finest powdered
willow charcoal, and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather in
the fern of large. pleasant tastin"
lo2enges. the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condi-
ton # the general health, better COM
rieXion, sweettr breath and pure
flood, and the beauty of it is. that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use. but on the contrary,
great benefit.

the benefits of charcoal says: Il adj

1t Ia H More Potent Factor In Looks
Than Fine Clothes.
The value of the toilet must not be
underestimated by the woman who
would charm.
The ordinary, everyday good looking
girl, who finds life serious thing and
cannot command the lovely garments
that make pretty women wondrously
beautiful. often wistfully wonders why
she, too. should not at least look fresh,
well groomed and fair. SO she may,
but she must be persuaded to give a
little more thought and time to her
daily toilet. and then, in spite of plain
attire. the woman of ordinary good
looks may be quite transformed and
the plain girl really pretty.
The girl who puts on her clothes
"anyhow.' who brushes her hair but
perfunctoriy and who is careless as to
the little details of attire will never
look anything else but dowdy and un-
attractive She should remember that
the woman who looks 80 beautifully
dressed does not owe all her uaintineSs
to picturesque clothes-she bestows
time and care Oh her daily toilet. The
busiest girl should try and find time
to be neat and flesh.

What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body in Health and
Disease.

The mention of sulphur will recall
to many of us the early days when our
mothers and grandmothers gave us
our daily dose of sulphur and molasses
every spring and fall.
1t was the universal spring and fall
blood purifier tonic and cure-all,
and mind you, this Gll-fashioned rem
edy was not without merit
The idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable, and
large quantity had to be taken to get
any effect.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial
effects of sulphur in a palatable, con.
is far more effective than table
spoonful of the crude sulphur.
+ In recent years, research and
experiment. have proven that the best
sulphur for medicinal use is that OBJ
tanned from Calcium Calcium Sui
phide) and sold in drug stores under
the name of Stuart's Calcium Waters.
They are small chocolate coated rel
let's and contain the active medicinal
principle Of sulphur in a highly con-
centrated, effective form.
Few people are aware of the value
Of this form of sulphur in restoring
and maintaining bodily vigor and
health; sulphur acts directly on the
liver and excretory organs and pnri.
fes and enriches the blood by the
prompt elimination of waste material
Our grandmothers knew this when
they d. sed us with sulphur and mo-
lasses every spring and fall, but the
crudity and impurty of ordinary flow
ers of sulphur were often worse than
the disease, and can not compare with
the modern concentrated preparations
of sulphur of which Stuart's Calcium
Waters is undoubtedly the best and
most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for
constipation and purify the blood in a
way that often surprises patient and
physician alike
DR.. r. NJ. Wilkins. while expert.
menting with sulphur remedies soon
found that the sulphur from calcium
was superior to any other form. He
says: For liver, kidney and blood
troubles, especially when resulting
from constipation or malaria. I have
been surprised at the results obtained
from Stuart's Calcium Waters. In
patients suffering from boils and pim-
pies and even deep-seated carbunclcs,
| have repeatedly seen them dry up
and disappear in four or five days
leaving the skin clear and smooth. Al
though Stuarts Calcium Waters is a
! proprietary article, and sold by drug
gists, and fer that reason tabooed by
! n.any physicians. yet I know of moth
E, ing so safe and reliable for constipa-
ton. liver and kidney troubles and

ease as this remedy"
At any rate people who are tired of

! purifiers" will find in Stuart's Cal
cum Waters far safer, more pala.
