THE kHoTTY FOOD PROBLEM.
A Scientist Finds lite Solution In .
Nutty Proposition.


Nutty Proposition.
Leave 1t to the bewhiskered old boys
Of science, they of the square specta-
cles and ear muffs, and this world will
be pulled through its rather precarious
existence. Some time ago somebody
who needed the money wrote an
alarmist article for q magazine, stat
ing that In avery short time--in fact,
within 100000 or 9.O0O,O 600 years--the
esrth's food supply would be entirely
exhausted.
This set allsthe scientists going like
horoscopes. and In the dizzy whIrl Of
investigation some very interesting
things came to light. 1t was mp TO the
scientists to find something for the
people to eat 100000 or 9,0O0,0O0
years hence. 1t was not wholly new
problem. Scientists long ago evolved
the scheme OF saving up timber into
breakfast food and said that q man
could 60 forth with bucksaw and get
enough sawdust out Of fence rail to
keep himself and his family supplied
for some time. r
One learned scientist thinks that he
has solved the problem for all time.
He says that the nut trees could In a
pinch supply food for the entire world.
This knotty question has become q
nutty question and one which he. has
apparently solved 4 Those who are Oh
earth now should be Of good cheer.
They will not have to starve 100000
years hence.-7Topeka State Journal.
