Dr. Hurty Discovers New Kind of "Cherry Pie.”

Dr. J. N. Hurty, pure food special- / Ist and health servant of Indiana, sojourned at a Gary restaurant for a meal. Cherry pie and buttermilk were on the menu. The place was extraordinarily clean. It was also equipped with tile floor, tile walls and wps “sweet and clean” throughout, as Dr. Hurty expressed it. He took some cherry pie and some buttermilk. He bit into the cherry pie and 4t tasted good. He bit further. This time his teeth met resistance. Investigation disclosed two watermelon seeds. More investigation. The pie contained a great amount of watermelon pulp. Additional investigation. A Chicago genius had devised the scheme of making Cherry pies from watermelon pulp. But for the little seed the pies still would be coming to Indiana. Dr. Hurty said that under the law he couldn’t do more than warn the proprietor of the shop for the first offense. The proprietor asserted with asperity and ascerbity, to quote Dr. Hurty correctly,' that there was nothing in that pie but cherries. Then he threw she burden on ChK cago and its chats. )
