Tone Culture is Now on Tan.

The cultivation OF pretty speaking
voice Is a practice growing among
women In this country. One physi.
clan who makes specially of treating
the voice is putting his patients who
have this end in view on diet of
fruits which have very soothing eff
feet upon the throat and vocal chords
Much of the unpleasant quality noted
in women's voices is due to the effect
OF the dampness of the climate
One OF the most valuable of fruits
for this purpose is he pineapple,
now in its most perfect condition. For
and quinsy the fresh fruit
or even the canned variety is pre-
scribed.
Tomatoes are thought to help In
giving smooth, mellow voice One

The pins pierce the foil and enter the
moss. easily. and so make IL possible
to quickly staple vines. foliage or
flowers around the edge OF the frame
or into vacant spots over the face Of
the piece. Then, too. a flower or leaf
often persists in standing up when 1t

So he bit the clown on the leg and
sent him home bowling with pain.
Then the dog waited for people to
come and buy his pictures. They came
and took his pictures. but instead of
paying for them left the show without
giving any money. The dog barked
at them but his chain was so short he
could not bite them. and they simply
laughed at him.
While tile dog was bordering on his
