Another of Our Old
Jokes Smashed-Nearly

Seven hundred women were in the
room listening to cooking expert tell
how to make dinners guaranteed to wipe
prouchy frowns from the old mans face
when he sticks his hoofs under the table
after a hard days work.
There were, as we remarked, 700
women there.
And in comes a mouse-yes, real,
live mouse!
Was there a panic? Did these afore-
said women hop onto chairs and tables
and scream? Did they smash windows
and doors and tread on each others necks
in 'manlike" effort to evade the blood
thirsty beast?
NO! They did nothing of the kind.
They went right along with their work,
giving Mister Mouse not even the slight
est attention.
So is shattered another chestnut. No
more shall our artists picture pretty
girl standing on the chair showing to the
Unlocking world the latest fashion in hos
iery.
That's what you'll say; yes, and we
said so, too-before We read the last
paragraph of the housekeeping story
wired out of Denver.
This is the rest of the story:
mo one in the hall but the janitor saw
the mouse-and he, mere man, grabbed
it by the tail-and ended Mister Mouse's
career.

Meat Is a Stimulant.
~ n. AopiNoToN9 BRUCE,
Author of THE Riddle OF Personality
Psychology and Parenthood.' etc.

The director OF one OF the biggest physical
culture schools In the United States said not
iong ago to friend Of mine:

This curious statement embodies truth OF
which most people are unaware.
Meat Is not merely n food II also IL stimu-
ant, with definite exhilaratins effects on ootn
mind and body.
Eaten in excess. moreover, II acts much as
does an excessive amount OF the alcoholic bever-

sometimes making him positively savage.
And in the second place. when eaten In ex.

The reason for this second effect IL well
