Actor who Once Made Meal on

The refreshing part OF a story which
the New York Times recounts is not the
stupidity of man in his domestic aspect.
The particular man concerned is an actor

fit the consumer rather than the reverse.
Consequently there are periods when
milk flows necessarily through the

and at other times uts, fruits and grains

while looking around in the vicinity, she
saw a brand new pump. which she had
recently purchased, in the we'll on the

this clew, she called at the house, and
there found her entire outfit OF furniture

1t was predicted at the time Of his re-
