"2. When they are at table, they
should not rock about on their chairs
nor slt back and stretch out their legs.
90, They should not drink after each

soon get drunk, nor drink more than
half n glass at time, and before
drinking they should wipe their lips

"Oh," said the attendant, ut IL easily

where there are several tr0ughs. Wo
turn on the taps and then give tho
idiots buckets TO bail out the water
and empty the trOughs. Many Of them
go on balllng away while the tap keeps
running, but them that isn't Idiots
