HEAR WITHOUT EARS
p olice and Detectives Are
using Lip Reading in
place of the Dict
agraph

Thousands of deaf people are today
throwing away all hearing devices and
enjoying all conversation. This method
is easily and quickly acquired thru our
system. A Absolutely the only thing of it
kind in the country. Our proposition is
entirely original We guarantee results.
1t will amaze you. Cost is trifiing. See
what New International Encyclopedias
says on Lip Reading. Hundreds of peo-
pie with normal hearing are taxing up
Lip Reading for the many additional
benefits gained. You can understand
what the actors are saying in the moving
pictures. You can understand what
people ere saying just as far as you can
see them. The eye understands beyond
the range,of hearing. Send 90 money,
but mention this paper and state
whether or not you are deaf Az par

Luke Mcluke Saws:

There are all sorts of people in the
world, including the man who would
rather get married than work for a
living.
A woman is often a half hour late
getting ready TO so out because she Is
in front OF mirror making up for lost
time
When q bartender is In a hurry max
ing change and says to a man, did
you give NE a nickel or a diner" and
the man replies, Il only gave you a
nickel" the man swells up with honest
pride and wears an expression that
says plainly, George Washington had
nothing on me!'
Our idea Of a henpecked husband is
one who has to eat bad egg at the
breakfast table because he is afraid to
tell his wife that it isn't good.
About all the practice in penmanship
some men get is when they sign the
pledge every twenty or thirty days.
A wife is party who can't be con-
WINGED that what she doesn't know
won't hurt her.
Any red headed girl can look into a
mirror and see a wealth Of golden
treSseS
The wife who leaves her hair In the
bedroom dresser and her teeth in a
glass of water in the kitchen when she
is serving breakfast often wonders
why her husband is so much interested
in other women.
Some men are so mean that they
never quarrel with their wives because
1t costs so much to make up again.
A woman will buy her husband
smoking jacket that locke like a horse
blanket with the hives and will get
him a little red fez to go with 1t, and
then she wonders why he gets mad
when she wants him to sit In his "den"
and wear them so she can bring the
neighbors in and let them see how
happy he Is.
Every now and then you will hear
big 200 pound man telling lies to his
125 pound wife over the phone so he
can get permission to eat his dinner
downtown.
For awhile she thinks that he mar
ried her because she Is all the world to
him. But later on she realizes that he
married her because he was too burned
stingy to hire a valet.
The easiest mark Is the fellow who Is
always Dragging that you can't fool
him.
