Razor Strokes to Shave.

There is a barber in London, Eng
land, with a nice taste for figuring, and
he has computed the number of razos
strokes that go to a clean shave. He
offers to prove the general correctness
of his count on any customer. "You
shall keep the count yourself, sir.T
says he.
The first man counted $50 strokes
made by the barber. Much too low,
sir" said the barber. "Bnt knowing
you were counting 7 couldn't help tax.
ing longer strokes. It takes more, sir,
usually"
His own computation is that, on an
average, it takes 200 strokes to shave
a man. Now If he shaves so many per-
sons day, so many days week, how
many times does the barber use his
razor week 2"
Hundreds of thousands, SIR" says
the barber. Pinned to something more
exact, he claimed 2SS,OOO for one week.

FACTS ABOUT MILK As FOOD
AZ an Article Of Diet There Are MANY
Things That Are Not Properly
Understood.

The use of milk as q food has been
DO extensively exploited by the milk
interests that there exists q somewhat
erroneous idea about it which a re-
cent speaker before the American Ped
iatric society. is endeavoring to cor
rect.
These errors principally concern the
group Of children between the ages of
and 6 years. These errors might be
classified under the headings: U)
Prolonged use Of milk as an exclusive
article Of diet (2) Increased GUAM
titles Of milk given along with other
foods.
Milk might not only be used too
long as an exclusive article of diet and
In excessive Quantities with other
foods, but its nutritional value might
be Injured by boiling.
The laity were taught, and rightly
so, that milk was an ideal breeding
place for germs, and that the growth
of these germs might be inhibited by
keeping the milk o. ice. or the milk
might be brought to a boil. The use
of boiled milk was becoming more
prevalent, and many injuries to- nutrL
ton occurred.

Average Life of Auto.

As highway transportation de-
velops and passenger cars and trucks
become practically the sole means Of
road travel, the proportion of first
purchasers of cars and trucks in the
total of car sales will decrease, and
the demand for new cars each year
will become more and more nearly
equal to the number Of cars which
drop out of service. For this reason
it is becoming increasingly impor-
tant for the trade to know how many
cars will be. required for replacement
of those Withdrawn from service.
Analysis Of registration, production,
export and import figures over a
period of years leads to the con-
clusfon that the average life Of the
100000 cars retired from service in
the last seven years was about 5.3
years.-Scientific American.

New Tombstone.

Austin J. Harnan of Custer, Okla,
has invented what he calls a new
and improved tombstone" says the
Columbus Dispatch. 1t is designed to
represent a life-size human figure
standing erect. For instance, it might
be soldier. The material is galvan-
lied iron, made hollow, so that the
lower part Of 1t may be filled with
cement to make heavier base. The
body is hollow in order that If de-
sired, 1t may hold an urn containing
the ashes of the deceased. AS for
the head, It is meant to be screwed
on and may be made a likeness of the
person for whom the tombstone is
erected.
