BEAUTY CHATS
PRACTISING COMMON WORDS.
By EDNA KENT FORBES.

Perhaps the two most important things to remember in cuItivahng the voice are persistence and patience. Spasnodic efforts are of little use in this as in any other treatment for self-improvement.
 In the matter of the voice, practise which is another way of saying per sistance-is most important of all When you have listened for vocal flaws, and while you are taking exer- cises to overcome these faults, give a little extra time to the more com mon faults. For instance, take a list of the words you use most.
 'Yes'', mo-, the, +tand'' are four words that come in again and again, in almost every sentence you utter. And they are among the most abused words in our language Do you by any chance say yeah for ''y.es' ? Or do you happen to pronounce mo" as though it were nav? Written out anyone would resent if accused of it. But if you will listen, you will find that the very incest people have slip ped into 1t
 And is particularly abused. It is often slurred into 'tan'' or, worse yet, deprived of even it's first letter and pronounced simply 'tn''-a single letter slid between two words Of a hastily spoken sentence The, is not so badly slurred. And suffers more than any other words, unless it happens to be ''yes"-
 These are small points, but they make such a, difference in ones man ner. they add or detract so from the good impression one always wants to make, that they are well worth pay ing attention to.
 J. F. M-Lemon juice and baking soda will do to keep your daughters s hair light. Two tablespoonsful of the juice. one-third of a. teaspoonfu1 the final rinse after the shampoo.Hot crude oil massaged into the scalp the night before the shampoo, will cor rect this dry condition, which is causing those flakes through the hair.
 Irene-You should consult some other doctor who will give you the proper interest in your case A con dition such as yours, can sometimes be traced to extreme nervousness, though it looked as if it was a case of eczema External treatment can only relieve it.
 P E. G-The growth Of hair did not come from using peroxide. There and ammonia together, if it is not too irritating to the skin.
 Rosie-Hot water opens the pores, cold water closes them If you use the former, be sure to dash cold water over your face and neck to close the pores again. Wrinkles do not come from either
 A winning personality comes through a desire to help others It is acquir- ed through the practise of this loving art.

OUR FACTORIES INVADE
 CANADA,
From the Living Age.

From the Living Age.
 The industrial invasion of Canada from this side of the border is caus- ing some disquiet in English financial circles. The Toronto correspondent of the Manchester Guardian has es- timated that more than seven hum dred Canadian branches of American industries have been established dur ing the past ten years. and that several hundred other American fac tories are seeking Canadian locations at the present moment.
 While this represents but a small fraction in the totality of Canadian industries, the reason usually given for this migration to Canada is sig nificant. Most of the factories are using their Canadian locations as a means of more profitably filling ex- port orders to Great Britain. Such orders. when received by the parent company in the United States, are transmitted to the Canadian branch. Because of the present exchange rates. and the low cost of ocean transportation, it is said that certain

climax is reached when he rushes through the village in a Ford cry ing the news that the great dam had burst. The village was panic strick- en-Katherin Willis, daughter of the mayor, nearly meets death or injury beneath the wheels of the lads fliv- yer as the crowd surge on towards a supposed safety. The boy lifts the girl into his Ford and heads the pro- cession which advance to the home of the mayor with the news of the catastrophe. But the mayor has heard the call and phoned the dam to learn it was perfectly safe.
 This escapade resulted in the vil- lagers voting the lad should be sent to the reform school-but the inter cession of the mayors wife caused him to be sent to a noted doctor in Boston for treatment. The cure was successful and when he again return ed to the village he was the shining example of truthfulness. too much so in fact. for the welfare of the vil- lage. For when a big sanitarium was mentioned, the mayor donated the land, the company accepted and plans were about completed for the starting to work--when the shrill voice of the now truthful lad caused consternation when he advised the officials that the malaria ridden. mosquito covered site selected was no place for a health resort. Too much truth-the sanitarium fell through, the lad was sent to the rail- road station, the only place where the absolute truth would work. Cor respondence with the doctor in Bos- ton advised the mayor that the pro- cess of curing could not be reversed but suggested that a romance might do the work. And then one day, Catherine alighted from the train, smiled at the lad and in few moments the boy was at the home of the mayor telling him about his par ticipation in a big train robbery in Arizona-the mayor knew the result

cumulative In character. from property
owners VINO have felt themselves victim
