The mercury outdoors was reaching for the century-mark. The waitress dropped a menu-card in front of me which read: OUR STANDARD FEATURES Prime ribs of beef, au jus Roast loin of pork, apple sauce Porterhouse steak—cuts to order Breaded veal cutlets, lima beans Goose-liver sausage, onions Frankfurters and kraut Old Home Farm sausage A selection from that list, on a torrid day, and for a fat man with blood-pressurel There was one at a neighboring table, devouring on« of those steaks served rare; be was calling to his aid a bottle of Wor cestershire sauce, with which he lit erally forced his overworked stom ach to swallow the insult! It is no wonder that apoplexy is still on our unconquered list. In hot weather we do no» need heat-producing fuel in the body. We have calories enough without adding more. A capable breakfast at this sea son may consist of a dish of cereal, butter, toast, an egg, two strips of crisp bacon—a half-cup of black coffee if the day’s task is strenuous —and an orange or half a canta loupe. The noon meal should be sustain ing: brown bread, buttermilk, well- cooked garden vegetables, stewed fruits, a moderate slice of boiled ham, or a much more moderate one of cold roast beef. The meal will be complete with the addition of a piece of plain apple pie or cus tard. The fewer condiment, ice-cold temptations, and fancy sweets the better. And the evening meal? Well—at nearly nothing as possible, if you would retain the health that I am umlng you have. This bit of ad« e is not for invalids, you know. ! Paul DcF. Mortlniore. Appointment of committees.
