In other days when visits from friends or rea-
tves formal affairs and the hostess knew days
and sometimes weeks in advance of their coming,
there was plenty Of time to make arrangements.
In these days visits from friends, neghbors and
relatives are mostly informal. They so frequently
drop in without giving moments notice, that it
behooves the housewife to be prepared at all times
for everyday household needs and emergencies
when company comes.
BY giving you Fresh-Kept Foods in tin. the New
York Gamers, Inc, have made it possible for you
to have in your pantry or fruit closet all the vege-
tables and fruits you need to prepare wel-rounded
dinner or a hasty luncheon.
To do this in the most economical way and to
always be sure that you have Something good to
eat in the house when acquaintance drop in,"
buy your Fresh-Kept Foods by the case. You may
have all of one kind or assorted.

German Makers of Toys
 Turn from Tin Soldiers

NUMERBERG, Dec. S.-The little tin soldier for this years Christmas in Germany has given way to aero bats, black and white mechanical toys and various kinds of radio sets. What few soldiers one sees are now made of wood, owing to the high cost of metal. Although their uniforms of paint are just as bright as ever, and the officers and soldiers just as stiff and pretentious looking as it is possible for the wood carver to make them, the fighters and their equip ment of side arms, cannon and small swords are not as popular by any means as they were prior to 1914. One of the seasons novelties is a colored boy, made for export chiefly to the United States, which plays a mouth organ when one squeezes it's body.
 There has been an unusual call for mouth organs, especially from the United States, dealers say, and Ger man manufacturers worked overtime last summer to supply the demand.

ARTIFICIAL VOICE WILL ENABLE
 DUMB TO SPEAK
MODIFIED REsONAToRS, INVENT ED BY ONDONER-ALREA
 CAN SAY ANOTHER"

LONDON, Dec. 17.-Artificial rep reduction of the human voice, enabl- ing dumb persons to speak, is practi- cally assured by an invention now being perfected by Sir Richard A. S. Paget, London lawyer, who for many years has been interested in inventions.
 Models, already designed by Sir Richard, by proper manipulation, have been made to pronounce the words mother" weather" and Harry" AS soon as further modi- fled resonators have been construct ed the inventor confidently expects and consonant sounds of the English language.
 Sir Richard first constructed a plasticine resonator, shaped in imi- tation of the human mouth cavity, to which he added an artificial la rynx, which consisted of a rubber Strlp HXed edgeWlSe across 1latten- ed air passage formed in paraffin wax and encased in plasticine.
 Various models based on the same principle, with slight notifications in each case, secured the reproduc- tion of several vowel sounds Others reproduced consonant sounds, and finally a model was constructed with four resonators, capable of producing vowel and consonant sounds in con- l junction.
 When the vowel resonatOr was closed by hand and released, while at the same time connecting tube was pinched and released, the model distinctly pronounced the word moth CT.
 The inventor hopes eventually to substitute electrical for acoustic res orators.
