At the town meeting held in the town

by the selectmen to settle the question as
to school in district No. 3 for the com
ing year, which has been agitated to some
extent, the article in regard to the mat

to appropriating sum of money for the
use of the Librarian in addition to that
required by law also was dismissed, much
to the disappointment of the trustees, as
the small sum required by law, $25, is not
sufficient to reimburse the librarian. No
other business of consequence was done.

When Uncle Gregory saw all this
his face broke out in smile, and we
could see his appetite roll up its
sleeves.
"In this" the doctor began again,
holding up a turkey wing on his fork,
"in this we have u cold-storage tur-
key which has been treated with OK
alic acid and chloride of potassium
to keep it in Il shivering state"
pardon me, doctor" exclaimed
Peaches Indignantly, "but it isn't a
cold-storage turkey, because it was
sent me us a present by some friends
on Long Island only this morning.
POSSIBLY" went on Caterpillar
Charlie, possibly my hurried diagnosis
was at fault, but we can never be sure
about these things, because here, on
the elbow of the wing, find traces of
calisthenic acid over the membranes"
mo, thank you" said Uncle Greg
Ory, ~ never eat turkey, it gives me
the heartburn" And the poor old
guy struck such note of hunger that
[ wanted to throw that doctor out of
the window.
BY this time several others at the
table were becoming more of less i'm
pressed and the dinner party was be-
ginning to assume the cheerful as
pect of meeting of martyrs an hour
before the arena opened
please pass me some mashed po-
tatoes," whispered Uncle Gregory
after the pangS of hunger had beaten
him to the ropes.
Here we find" croaked the doc
tor raising n forkful of mashed po-
evil effects of food adulteration. This
potato was grown in the fall of the
year 1889, but it has been washed in
alum water to give it the appearance
of being modern, while its eyes have
been treated with belladonna to make
them bright and snappy."
Uncle Gregory groaned pathetically,
and the rest of us, out of politeness
tried to look interested, but only sue
ceeded in looking seasick.
When the ice cream and cake were
brought on Doctor SmOtherjoy, drove
his spoon down deep into the choco-
late and vanilla mixed and said,
Here is pitiful illustration of what
dishonest tradesmen will do for
money. Here We find that some of
this ice cream was pale originally,
but it was treated with aniline dye to
give it this chocolate effect, and then
baked in the sun to deceive the eye.
On the other hand. we find this va
nilla was originally dark and forbid
ding, but it has been treated with per.
oxide of hydrogen to make it more of
a blonde"
Pardon me, DOCTOR snapped
Peaches, her teeth chattering with ner-
vousness, "but this ice cream was
made in our kitchen by our own cook,
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1916-12-07

with first-class cream, and we never
have any but homemade ice cream, so
there!"
"Ah," said the doctor, "then in that
case it must be traces of thanatopsis
which l see, and the evidence is con-
elusive that great deal of artificial
frappe has been used, nevertheless"
mo, thank you," said Uncle Greg
ory, II never eat ice cream because
it goes to my head and makes me cold
to my friends"
"Take this coffee, for instance"
chortled the doctor, juggling a spoon
full with the left hand and four Jumps
of sugar with the right. Herein
you will find copper salts, iodide of
chicory, four per cent solution of
gladiolus, together with about a six
teenth of grain of mocha to the cup
full"
mo, thank you," gasped Uncle
Gregory; II never drink coffee; 1t
gives me the hiccups."
After the dinner was over, Uncle
Gregory took me outside and whis-
pered: John, for the love of
blissful heaven, the next time you give
a dinner party cut out that bug doc
tor, or let me wear ear muffs!"
Peaches hasn't spoken sensible
word since that bitter evening.
Can you blame her?
