NO MORE DODGING.
Jones—Motor cars are very dan
gerous. ,
Williams—That’s the reason I’m
going to buy one.

ARTIFICIAL MILK.
A process has been discovered in
England for the manufacture of arti
ficial milk for human consumption.
It is claimed that a wholesale and
inexpensive substitute can be made
from peanuts, soy beans, sugar, wa
ter and the mineral salts found in
milk. The milk so produced, it is
stated, may be condensed and sold
in tins in the usual way or dried to
a powder and sold in bottles. It may
be given a certain percentage of
cream by the addition of coconut or
one of the other tasteless nut fats,
^he residual meals, rejected after
the special factors required have
been taken from them, are mixed,
dried until they contain only 10 per
cent of water, and used as food for
cattle.
As a curiosity, the “milk” thus
produced would be interesting.
Though it is questionable whether it
would prove c.n acceptable substi
tute.
WHAT HAPPENED.
“What happened to the nest egg
that Jones set aside when he mar
ried ?”
“It hatched into alimony.”
EXACTLY.
Walton — Boozer says he even
drinks in his dreams.
Galton—A case of unconscious
celebration.—Life.
MEETING THE EMERGENCY.
• “Can’t serve anything wet with
this meal, sir.”
“All right; then bring me some
thing extra dry.”

Your Exclusive Telephone
IT is possible to so construct a telephone that a
person using it could sit across the room and
have his voice transmitted over the telephone
wires.
The trouble with that sort of a telephone would
be that not only the speaker’s voice, but all sorts of
extraneous sounds would be transmitted—the click
of the typewriter or even noises of the street.
Your Bell telephone is designed for exclusive, individual serv ice.
By talking with your lips close to the mouthpiece of the transmitter,
your voice alone is transmitted to the ear of the listener at the
other end of the wire.
