Yo,Ir dietary.

Eat when you are hungry-if you
have the price. Drink beer with your
ice cream if you like to. Eat grated
cheese on your raw onions if you
think it good. Drink milk with your
cucumbers and sleep the sleep of the
just man made perfect. Take a
cracker with. every drink of liquor
and live to be 1000 years old. Drink
whisky with your bananas and forget
the cramps Take vinegar with your
salad; it retards digestion. Eat
cherries with milk and sugar. Drink
ChinatI with mscaroni. Drink tea
while eating meat. Avoid salt; it
dries up the skin. In plain English
do as you please-so long as your
"stomjack" is able to stand it, Vio-

Has he not done more to make Ed

When Edward was simply prince of

the tailor to address him in public
places without fear Of the tower.
There are several distinguished
Pooles in England, but none so
