ADVERTISEMENT, Reel Life, December 6, 1913:

"Cranky Mrs. Grump, who lives on a milk diet, discharges her maid because the latter is smitten with a milkman - the same who 'serves' the 'route' that includes Mrs. Grump's residence. The milkman doctors Mrs. Grump's milk, with amusing, exhilarating and amazing results."

 

REVIEW, The Moving Picture World, December 20, 1913:

"[A film] in which Riley Chamberlin appears as an old maid, elected president of the Women's Temperance Organization. Through the milkman's desire for revenge the old maid appears at the meeting in a state of intoxication. This will cause shocks and smiles, depending upon the personal views of the observer, but it will pass safely with most audiences."
