...taste. Prices depend to some extent on the location of the shops; chiefly on overhead- rents and "tips." Rents usually vary between $50 and $200 per month; shopowners are unwilling to say how much it costs them to remain unmolested. Profits are not exorbitant. One gallon of the cheapest alcohol costs from $3 to $4 wholesale. Flavoring drops cost $1.25 per quart. From these can be made 14 bottles of 75? gin at an average cost of 30? per bottle.

Kangaroos are one of the cheapest animals to feed: they are content with a can of condensed milk, a few pounds of potatoes, a loaf of whole wheat bread daily. Good meat for dogs can be had for 10¢ a pound. But dog acts often require many animals. Last fortnight Bill Blomberg, vaudeville performer, stationed his 32 unemployed Alaskan huskies with Roofer McHugh, fed them about 50 Ib. of meat three times a week. Elephants eat the most. They need at least a $2.50 bale of hay every day. Living in Roofer McHugh...
