A medical journal has Of late been

Dictated the disorders of digestion which
are believed to follow the practice of
taking ones meals in solitary state.
The topic is by no means an uninter-

men living alone are compelled to take
their meals for the most part without
company. Week in and week out they
feed themselves without a soul to talk
to, and the medical journal devotes it's
energies to showing that the practice
is not one that is likely to be conducive
to digestion, to proper bodily nourish-
ment or to health. The solitary man
soon tires of merely eating, and, if he is
not of literary turn of mind his tend
ency is to hurry through his meals to
escape from his loneliness into the so.
