invited to attend banquet to be given

A bill has been prepared under the d.

in the legislature next week. BY the pass
age of such measure it is said that the
large number of ShylockS who infest the

HOT LUNCHES
To Be Furnished by the Pneumatic
Tube System.
From the Pittsburg News.9

{ From the Pittsburg News.1
Life is more worth living than it was
couple of decades ago. Devices that add
to the comfort of mankind are constantly
being invented. At this rate people may
soon have nothing to do but to draw their
breaths and their salaries. There is room
for controversy to whether the inven-
ton of a Philadelphia genius to supply hot
lunches by pneumatic tube does or does
not fill a 'long-felt want" The question
will probably have to be decided by indi-
vidual preference. Mr.. William J. Kelley
proceeds upon the assumption that men
whose work lies far away from their homes
would prefer a lunch prepared by the low
ing hands of wife or mother to one con-
cocted by restaurant chef. Cold lunches,
carried in the pocket to the office, are I'M
wholesome.
Accordingly Mr.. Kelley has placed him
self at the head of a concern which will
shoot hot lunches, made at home. through
pneumatic tubes of a new design. Such
speed will be used that the domestic
lunches will not have time to get cold.
This scheme possesses many advantages.
When the system is perfected 1t could be
extended over a wide stretch of territory,
SO to embrace several cities. Thus
Pittsburg man who is in Harrisburg
business and doesn't like his hotel fare
might have a hot breakfast or lunch fired
to him direct from home. In response to
telegram he would not have long to wait
for consignment of biscuits like mother
used to make-or a slab of apple pie from
the home factory.
