Condensed Milk is Beer.

Special Agent Kincaide. of the So ciety to prevent Cruelty to Children, was sent out early this week to investigate a case on Vine street, vest of Seventh Btreet, where it was al leged that a woman who was addicted to the excessive use of brews was starving a little girl, in whose care the child had been placed by a mother who had decamped from the city to unknown parts. Kincaide groped his way up a long - flight of stairs, finumg the woman, with several of her gentlemen friends as she called them, surrounded a foaming pail. “Lady, why don’t you quit drinking booze and feed this child?” asked Kin caide. “O my dear Mr. Officer, I wouldn’t tell you a lie if 1 had to pay for it, as true as my name is Mary Ellen. 1 feed that child a gallon of condensed milk every day.” » * The condensed milk child was taken from her. —Philadelphia Times.
