A woman with secret to tell neve

knows it.
The onl y reason some women have fol

Mrs. Frederic Schoff, has been re-
elected president of national congress
of mothers. She is from New York and
has seven children. She has held this
Office since 1902.
W. H. Kenney, head of the college OF
oratory OF Boston, predicts that American
| girls will be 'soft voiced" before many
years. The telephone is going to bring

Skirts are quite little fuller around the

Don't speak with all the muscles OF the
face. 1t is very charming and captiva-
ting to be deeply, deadly in earnest, but
facial grmaces form creases which in
time become wrinkles.
A miliner's advice to her patrons is
to observe the effect of hat sitting as
well as standing. Sometimes hat is too
large for seated figure when it does
very we'll while the wearer is standing.
No one wants to lose in effect by change
of posture, any more than she wants to
wear hat that is becoming in front and
hideous in the back.
For thirty-eight years a woman has
kept the light off Santa Barbara. The
lighthouse is situated about two miles
southwest of Santa Barbara, on a low
point of land, the light being 17S feet
above the sea.
1t is funny to see the same people who
one year ago were preaching health and
straight fronts now lacing their victims
into wasp shapes with equally honest and
ungrammatical enthusiasm.
Will the average woman wear short
sIeeved tailor dress? Street dresses with
their sleeves chopped off in the neighbor-
hood of the elbows have long been
counted modish in Paris, but New York
has fought shy of them.
Recent statistics give the number of
women employed on Russian railway
lines as $4,000. The average salary paid
to each of them amounts to only $S5 a
year, although few of them acting as
express clerks receive as high as $3.50.
Professor Osler has further distin-
guished himself by advising Canada to
put all export tax of 500 on every mar

every such girl was worth thousand
dollars. They are in the habit of leaving
Canada and coming over to this country
to find husbands.

AN ODE TO THE DELAWARE

BY EDNA RosELIN TowNE
Pretty river famous river gently flow
your waters bright.
And your sparkling wavelets ripple in
the autumn sunbeam's light;
Breaking through wild mountain passes,
from the noble Empire State;
! Ripping down smiling valley, with
its villages sedate.
Chasing teeming city's spires in your
bosom clear and wide;
Passing grand historic places by our
heroes glorifed,
Mid scene of shifting beauty on each
passing bank SO fair;
Queen of all our stately rivers is the
grand old Delaware.
When our country's wounds were gaping,
in the hour of dismal fray,
With the hireling camped beside you in
the cruel despot's pay;
On your chilled, Il ongh friendly bos ON,
crossed our noble Washington;
On yonr banks the Lord stood with us,
and our patriot folc.s won,
And that moment saw the turning of
the desperate tide of strife,
For your icy flood had carried strength
into our Nations life.
Yea, forever consecrated, while our STAN
dard waves in air
Shall be twined the names of Trenton
and thine own, proud Delaware.
70 their river, Father Tiber," ancient
Romans used to pray,
As their vengeful God of Waters to shed
glory on each fray;
But thy beauteous shining bosom sweep
ing onward to the sea
Shall be gladstone with the praises OF
Nation proud and free.
Peerless river smiling river! with bright
scenes on your banks are dressed,
And the ceaseless pulse of commerce
ever swels your glorious breast,
For that stream that saw our morning
now beholds our noon so fair;
Blessed river of our Nation ever famous
Delaware.

Roumania Queen Sends for
Leaders of the Mutineers

KUSTENJI. Roumania, July lO.-The
crew of the battleship Kniaz Potemkin
who surrendered to the authorities here
on Saturday, are quietly dispensing
throughout the country.
They display no hostility toward the
Russian government. They declare that
they love the Gar and were led astray
by revolutionists.
The sailors are doing everything they
can to palliate their offense. They say
they fred only two shots at Odessa
and none at Theodosia and never took
coal or provisions from any foreign
vessel
They insist that the men had agreed
not TO attack any foreign port under
any circumstances. The usual routine
was observed aboard the Potemkin, the
former mutineers denied that they kill
ed the doctor on the vessel, saying he
committed suicide
Matuschenko, who was the leader Of
the mutineers, when asked IL he was
glad to escape replied:
what does 1t matter to me whether
| am free or not? / want Russia to be
free. What l did was for the good Of
my country. I intend TO remain here

CURED BY CUTICURA
SOAP AND OINTMENT

81 was greatly annoyed by dandruff
for two years It was so bad that
when l combed my hair large fakes
would fall from the comb. The itching
of the scalp at times was almost un-
bearable. Then my hair began to fall
out, tarting at the temples The hair
grew thin and I was rapidly becoming
bald. Nothing I used gave any relief
until began to use Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. The first week used them
they relieved me of the itching scalp,
and after six months constant use the
dandruff disappeared. my hair grew
over the bald spots, and my scalp be-
came clean and healthy.
For the first two months I sham
pooed my head three times week
with warm water and CT tieaira Soap
and applied Cuticura Ointment after
each shampoo. I used five Boxes Of
Ointment and seven cakes of Soap.

So far every attempt to raise the boat
