"The risks which New York men
take with their Digestion" said the
proprietor of a group of well-known
downtown restaurants to New York
Sun man, "is a constant source OF
surprise to me. Heavy pie and pulpy
pudding are bolted at the very time
when careful eating should be rigorous
ly attended to. sit and look on at
times in my different restaurants with
absolute amazement at the Judgment,
or rather lack of Judgment, which men
exhibit at the table. We have two
throngs of customers. The first rush
comes about 9:3O in the morning. 1t
is composed of brokers, business men,
clerks, and office employees, who have
grown into the habit of rising late and
rushing down to the office without
breakfast so as to start the work of
the day on time, They could easily
get their breakfast at their boarding
house orat home If they rise half-hOur
earlier, but most OF them are up late
at night and the temptation of a long
er nap in the morning is too alluring
TO resist. So they hurry downtown,
open the mail, start things a-going,
and then rush into the nearest res
taurant for breakfast. 1t does not
hurt any man to take little exercise
before he eats in the morning, and un-
doubtedly delay in the first meal of
the day would not do them any par
ticallar harm if they would bo careful
about the character of their food.
But after working two hours on an
empty stomach they come I'M in violent
hast, order cocktail, and then eat
pastry and sweets enough to ruin the
digestion of an ostrich. They usually
start in with roast beef or some other
dish that is ready and wind up with
mince pie or boiled apple dumping.
| know many business man who
comes in and consumes three or four
dishes and is out of the place again in
less than fifteen minutes. At lunch
time they come in again and load up
with an oyster pattie or beefstak pie
or some other dish in which rich pas
try is an important factor. This
second rush OF trade Is even more IN
tereSting than the first, because it
shows how the habit of eating pastry
grows. 1t is no unusual thing to see a
man of 40 years OF age take wheat
cakes, sausages, and mince pie for his
luncheon. He bolts the sausage,
covers his cakes with rich syrup, and
his pie served hot and sprinkled an
inch deep with powdered sugar. He is
invariable an advanced dyspeptlc in
appearance, and for some unaccount-
able reason he seems to succeed in
business. 1t does not do any good
to sneer at the pie-eaters of New
York, because half the railroad presi-
dents, telegraph superintendent, and
influential men of affairs of this town
eat things which cause man OF gas
Economical intelligence to shudder.
! Most of the absorbed and nervous
tinanciers and business men die at so,
and everybody says it is due to over
work All a mistake. Pie is the fell
destroyer. New York Sun.
