manufacture Of Hamburger steaks and
other alleged delicacies.
The chemist first told of his test of a
liquid known as ''freezine." Professor

surmise the results when milk diluted

When butter is placed I'm watts filled with

BOIL 1T DOWN.

Whatever you have to say, my friend,
Whether witty, or grave or gay,
Condense as much as ever you can,
And say it in the readiest way:
And whether you write Of rural affairs,
Or matters and things in town,
Just take word of friendly advice
Boil it down.
If you go spluttering over a page,
When a couple Of lines would do.
Your butter is spread so much, you see,
That the bread looks plainly through |;
So, when you have story to tell,
And would like q little renown,
To make quite sure of your wish, my
friend,
Boil it down.
When writing an article for the press,
Whether prose or verse, just try
To settle your thoughts in the fewest
words,
And let them be crisp and dry.
And when it is finished and you suppose
1t is down exactly brown,
Just look it over again, and then
Boil it down.
For editors do not like to print
An article lazily long,
And the general reader does not care
For a couple of yards of song;
SO gather your wits in the smallest
space,
And every time you write, my friend,
Boil it down.
