A HINT FOR BANQUETERS.

That men who have great regulations
as public speakers, who are called upon
to and do attend several banquets each
week during the winter season. are able
to show no sign of indigestion, is source
of wonder to men who, after perhaps a
single banquet, find medicines necessary.
At these banquets are served all the
fancy dishes that the mind O.. "a chef can
conceive. Then there are the wines of
various kinds, sometimes good and
sometimes POOR. How is it, people ask,
that these frequenters of banquets so often
suffer no i'll efectP
1t is because their experience has made
them cautious. Constant dining ont has
taught them the absolute need of modera-
ton. Many of them ave confessed that
it is their habit to dine at their homes
before going to banquet. Then at the
banquet they will just nibble at what is
placed before them. SO as not to appear
odd among the company of feasters.
With the wines 1t is the same way.
They will drink. perhaps, little sherry
to begin with. and then not drink any
thing else until the champagne is served ;
of that they drink enough to satisfy a
n atural thirst, and for the rest of the
evening they drink nothing but Apolli-
naris, which innocent potion they find
not only extremely palatable after the
wine, but calculated to offset any Ill
effects.
