The Horrors of Prohibition.

a Milwaukee man has pade the discovery that
prohibition is causing a plague of bedbugs. He
claims that men spend more time in bed since
the country went dry. and the bugs get their
meals with more regularity and dispatch, caus-
ing them to remain in one place and to increase
and multiply instead of being on the move hunt
ing food, as they used to be when men didn't
get home till morning. The Milwaukee dis
coverer. who lives on Scott street, advises the use

Luke McLuke Says
ANY married woman can tell you that no man
ever looks as handsome in a union suit as the
underwear ads in the magazines make him look.
Man is a queer dsh. Men who never thought
Of taking a drink when the kaifs were open
won't refuse a nip nowadays.
No matter how useless a husband turns out
TO be his wife is glad that the Other Woman
didn't get him.
Some of the girls must imagine that men re-
Sard women as toys. Anyway. they keep them
selves covered with bright paint.
There was a time when a woman wore a petit
coat to keep her legs warm. But these days she
wears one so she won't Show Through.
If he has a bright line of kidding repartee
when he calls on a girl. he lis a trifer. But II he
sits around dumbly like a sick sheep, he's in
love.
With women on the Juries IL behooves a mar
ried man TO walk in the Straight and Narrow
path. Women know what liars married men
are.
Every time a wringer agent or an insurance
solicitor calls on a woman. the other women in
the neighorhood have a terrible time trying to
peek out of the sides of the window shades
without being seen.
Women are not entirely to blame for the in
difference brought about by years of married
life. A husband gets so that he kisses his wife
with all the fire and passion of a bowl of cold
mush.
A girl can say more with a two-second smile
than a man can say in a two-hour lecture.
