Mrs. Modern's baby was out of sorts so she sent for the doctor.
When he came his verdict was, "There's not much wrong with your baby. Give her a little cas- tor oil."
"But, doctor," protested the mother mildly, "isn't castor oil rather old-fashioned?"
"Yes," agreed the doctor, "but babies are old-fashioned,
you know."

too,
You've heard about t'chap who was so forgetful he kissed his wireless set good-night and then switched off his wife?
Well, my Uncle Henry's like, that always doing daft things. For instance, t'other morning he left home as usual to go to work. Halfway down t'street he stop- ped to light his pipe, and as there was a bit of a breeze blow- ing he had to turn round before he could get it going right.

few minutes later his missis was flummoxed to see my Uncle Henry come in at t'front door. Hey! says......... she. "What's t'meaning of this,lad? Tha should be at t'mill by now."
My Uncle Henry gapes at her for a minute. Then Eee, dash It," says he, "I must have for- gotten to turn round again after I'd lit my pipe!”
