Our Contagious Accent.

Speaking with a strong American
accent" navy man has returned as
a deserter for service here after seven
years across the Atlantic. Seven
years! Why seven weeks will do the
trick. What is known as the "Ameri-
can accent''-and it differs as widely
as the American continents the
most infectious in the world A couple
of months, as know personally. is
sufficient to alter the pitch of voice,
and no man comes back from America
without being detected in his speech,
which has unconsciously caught the
pitch. He gets over it in time. But
Britain has never succeeded in impos-
ing it's lingual pitch on America

pr KINDER TO YOURSELF
.,,.u,e, Are often Victims of Nervous
ness Because They Don't Know
How to Relax.

One of the important things to know
:, life especially if you are woman,
=. - how TO let yourself alone, writes
nIorv Carolyn Davies in. the Mothers
,lagazine. The ability to relax. the
art nj being judiciously lazy. the tact
~ lat herself alone has saved many a
IMAM from a nervous breakdown.
W. al know the housewife who nags
,,orself into such state of consclen-
tionspess that she cannot rest. If she
I;oe down she is continually worrying
herself with thoughts of the work that
she is neglecting.
Much of the blame for this state of
offairs lies at the doors of the moth
orc The mistake is in their training
If their children, especially their
daughters. They are taught from ear
Iiost infancy to be kind to others, to
boar with them, to forgive them, to
beIp them; but from birth to death no
one ever tells them to be kind. also,
to themselves.
The woman who nags herself can
make herself more miserable than any
one else possibly could. She can make
her life more of a nightmare than any
misfortune could possibly make it. If
such women could learn to be kinder
TO themselves there is no doubt that
their own lives would be heightened;
and not only that, but the lives of
those with whom they come in close
contact would be made far more pleas

ITALY UNDER MANY RULERS
Fertile Land, During the Centuries,
Has Been Prize Worth the Ex-
penditure of Blood.

Charlemagne tackled Italy to his I'M
wieldy empire and left it to his weak
ling son, Lothaire, by the treaty OF
Verdun in 843. The peninsula en-
joyed a measure of peace for some
years, then petty counts and dukes
began a series of internecine wars
which continued until Ohio the Great
marched into Rome in 1852 and forced
the pope to place the imperial crown
of gold on his head. That was the
beginning of. the Germanic holy R0A
man empire. 1t established a prece-
dent for the German emperors, and
they continued bringing their armies
across the Alps to feast en- Italy's
plenty until Conradin. the last of the
Hohenstaufens, was defeated in 1868.
The Hapsburgs then took up the pur-
suit of Italy.
The feudal system never gained a
firm hold in Italy, which lightened
the labor of Germanic commerce. In
1856 the pope and the free CONNER
cial cities made common defense
against the emperor. They had more
or less success until Frederick Bar
barossa swept down on the land and
buried all opposition. The Lombardy
league collapsed in 1867, and Italy
became as much German province
as Alsace is today. No German en-
peror in those days rested content I'M
til the pope had placed the imperial
crown on his head-frst the silver
crown at AK la Chapelle, then the
iron crown of Lombardy, and then
the one at Rome.

Astronomers say that only the iig-
norant speak of the universe" for
the number of universes is infinite.
Yet, only a few centuries ago, Cam
PAMELA was kept in prison for 20
years and was tortured seven times
to make him retract his assertion that
the number of stars is infinite. In
those days it was a crime to believe
In infinity. And Calico, burdened
with age and threatened with torture,
retracted what all the world believes
today. And Giordano Bruno. who
bravely refused to retract, was
burned at the stake.

SIR JOHN FRENCH'S FRIEND

George Gordon Moore of Detroit,
whose intimacy with Sir John French
has enabled him to be near the firing
line since the British expeditionary
force went to France and whose pres
ence there has been resented by some
of the public men of England, perhaps
is least known among those of his
own community. And what is more,
he never has made an effort to attract
public attention, although his opera
tions have been among the most ex-
tensive in America in the last decade.
He merged the interests of urban
and interurban lines and built up the
Michigan United Traction company,
with $50 miles of track, then sold it
to an eastern corporation, incidentally
making millions for himself. Several
years ago he organized a $50,000,000
water power corporation in Georgia,
and later he amalgamated the Pacific
coast utilities. He also heads great
corporations with extensive interests
in Brazil.

A MILLIONAIRE CLERK

Stephen T. Mather, millionaire,
has a. theory that there is a lot Of
fun in doing things for other people
when one has done all that is neces-
sary for himself, and that no partic-
ular credit should flow to him for so
doing.
Hence Stephen T. Mather, million

Sam. He likes his job, even if it does
not show up as very large in the pub

Mr.. Mather, becoming tired of
newspaper work after five hard years
as a reporter in New York, broke into
business life and made his million or
SO as a manufacturer Having got
all he needed and never having be-
come money-mad, he thereupon be-
came very active in trying to improve
social conditions in his home city Of
Chicago. And this brought him, in
February of this year, to appointment
as assistant to the secretary of the in

GOVERNOR LIKELY
VETO PANT Of THE
AGG|E SLUSA BILL

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 30.-Governor
Harris has announced that he will
probably veto that part of the special
appropriations measure which by an
error appropriated over 100000 in
sumo of $4,000 to each of the dis
trict agricultural schools.
That feature was befuddled as
everybody now knows by an error,
the governor is quoted today as hav-
ing said, land I shall probably veto
it. We haven't the money to pay out
anyway"
Governor Harris spent one of the
busiest days of his life yesterday and
today is in the midst of another.
He had before him yesterday after
noon waiting to be signed for about
$4,000 more than the state has in
the exchequer.
In addition all the work attendants
to the closing of the extra session was
dumped on him at once. In the mean
time he is being swamped with appli-
cations for jobs as clerks and stenog-
raphers for the Western & Atlantic
commission. Also numerous appli-
cations have already come in for sec
rotary to the commission In fact,
from the number of people who want
to get some kind of a job out of the
creation of the commission it looks as
if everybody ought to establish bu-
reau for the unemployed in Georgia.

WOMAN'S BEST
FRIEND.

Nature has provided women with ex-
tremely delicate organs, so sensitive
that they become disordered for the
slightest causes, and the least disturb
ance is likely to prove serious.
1t is therefore every woman s highest
duty to take care of these organs. At
the slightest sign of any of those dis
orders, known generally as Female
Troubles, they should be stopped imme-
diately before great pain and probably
permanent injuries result.
The most splendid remedy for all dis
eases of women is SQUAW NERVA-
TUM, the simple, harmless vegetable
remedy, that contains none of the chem
icals or harmful ingredients. 1t cures
quickly, painlessly and thoroughly.
Every woman should demand the
right to health and happiness that
SQUAW NERVATUM brings. So in or

medicine within the reach of ali, we
