BEST PHONE VOICES IN. U. S.
American Doctor Points At Vocal DUAL.
tiles Lacked by British Users
Of the Telephone.

London.-An American physician
visiting in London has discovered that
the American voice is better adapted
to the use of the telephone than the
British voice. To this defect in the
British vocal chords he ascribes the
much maligned telephone service of
London.
Americans have not pretty soft
voices, but their vocal chords are
tuned correctly for telephoning." said
the doctor. British voices are not.
They seem to lack the timbre neces-
sary for carrying over the wires.
ut is often remarked that American
women are given to talking loudly in
restaurants and other places. As a
matter Of fact, they do not talk any
louder than their English sisters, but
their voices have a carrying quality
which is sometimes rather trying.
However, II makes telephone using a
pleasure for the Americans, whereas
for Britons the phone Is always more
or less an instrument Of torture"

THE APPLE AS MEDICINE.

A modern scoffer has recently asked whether 1t
would be possible that Eve yielded to the serpent
because he told her that apples were good for
the complexion. Whether this argument was
needed not there is no question that it is q
true one. Nothing in all our varied and fascinat-
ing range of fruits holds quite the same quality
the apple.
raw, ripe apple at its best is digested in IS
minutes, and the malic acid which gives 1t its
distinctive character stimulates the liver, assists
digestion and neutralzes much noxious matter

the skin. They do not satisfy like potatoes"
some people, to whom they have been recommend
ed food, have said, but the starch Of the po-
tato added to the surplus Of starch we are always
eating renders it undesirable as an article Of

The demand for ice cream has been a great ben
eft to the dairy industry by the absorption Of the

lack of dairy products to meet the growing de-

Nevertheless, nearly 100000 gallons Of Ice
cream are annually manufactured from cream and
milk. This branch Of the dairy industry has
achieved its greatest growth during the last de-
cade owing to the increased number Of summer re-
sorts and parks.
