TOday's Best Joke

Mr.. Harrison had been invited
to a Christmas dinner and told
that he would be expected to
carve. He bought cook book
and turkey and mapped out the
bird. Then he paid for a couple
of lessons from the server in a
restaurant where he often ate,
and felt that he was ready for the
ordeal. On the festal day he
awaited the incoming of the tur-
key with smiling self-confidence.
The door opened and in came the
maid, bearing a huge platter upon
which was a little roast pig.

PRISONERS.
IN.
CITY JAIL

Prisoners in the city jail are
suffering from the cold weather.
During Saturday and Sunday
nights the prisoners were forced
to walk back and forth in their
cells to keep from freezing. Tenn
perature in the jail was below the
point at which water freezes.
Today the city council finally
awoke to the fact that men in
Jail are suffering, and voted to
hire an extra engineer at $3.50 n
night to keep the city hall boilers
hot during the night and prevent
the possibility of deaths in jail.
Last winter the city installed
electric heaters in the jail, and
decided to cut down expenses by
letting the steam heating system
OF the city hall go out of business
at 9 O'Clock In the evening. The
heaters have burned out. AS d
result there is no more heat in
the jail at night than there is out
side. The cold Is even more
deadly because the Jail is in "a
basement.
Night police officers at the city
Jail are suffering equally with the
prisoners. They wear mittens
and overcoats.
I'VE will put blanket around
our electric heater tonight to keep
1t from getting frosty" read the
report of Sergeant Falconer this

Cheese is credited with containing
as much nutriment in one pound as Is
contained in two pounds Of beef. 1t
lbothers the digestion Of some, but the
melting or cooking of it does away
with this trouble, and there are many
who believe that the merits Of cheese
ARE all on the side of ease Of digestion
