Irish Moss For lnvaljds,

Those who suffer from stomach or
intestinal trouble where the mucous
membrane is irritated will find Irish
moss soothing and palatable.
It should be boiled until it produces
a thick, nourishing jelly. 1t can be
boiled with milk or water. although
the former Is better. If one wishes 1t
sweetened or favored, any fruit juice
that the palate will stand can be added
to 1t.
Coffee or chocolate prepared as for
the table is preferable to the juices
and extracts and is better for the
health.
When making it for an invalid who
has chronic stomach trouble 1t Is best
to use the smallest amount Of sugar.

Tho Unmusical Voice.

A friend who has spent many years
abroad remarked ut does seem too
bad that American children should
have such disagreeable voices. They
are acknowledged to be bright and at
tractive, yet because Of their high
pitched, disagreeable voices they are
stunned" says Good Housekeeping.
travellers avoid car or a hotel In
which there are young Americans"
Why is this? Largely because our
children are initiative, and as our
voices are not we'll modulated neither
are theirs. Is the unmusical voice a
necessary American trait?
Throat specialists tell us that, al
though our climate is inclined to sharp
Ell the tone, certain sweetness and
low pitch may be maintained with
| proper care. A child is sOOthed by
gentle speech and irritated by harsh
tones. OF course you read aloud to
your child. Every mother does. Let
this be done with constant watching
Of articulation and tone. This Is good
exercise for the reader and means
Of culture in more than one respect
for the child.
Never rebuke In anger. Keep quiet
until you can speak sweetly and firm
ly. One point which cultivated for
eigners notice is that our young peo-
pie call their messages from a distance
instead Of going to the person and
quietly waiting for an opportunity to
speak. Shouting through the house is
unpleasant and uncultured. A child
should understand that it Is not to
break in upon conversation. This last
performance is considered Every Amer

She was married on Aug. IA, 1917, to
Orlando Montague, and they took up
their residence at 1870 Third street, in
Troy. Mr.. Montague, as near as can
be learned, was engaged in making
fine shoes for women.
He was a large man, scrupulOusly
particular in matters Of dress, even to
the point Of fastidiousness, and in
those days, before the invention Of the
sewing machine and when there were
no public laundries, the making and
washing and ironing Of his shirts was
no small item in the work Of the house

Not unlike many housewives Of those
days, Mrs. Montague was resourceful,
and In casting about Tor devices to
tighten her household duties she hit
upon the idea of a detached collar,
which might be fastened to a neck
band on her husbands shirts and
washed and ironed separately.

retired Methodist clergyman, who had
settled in Troy and started small
