Title DINNER
BY GEO. " HOBART, cHueH MHueH.~

Dear Bunch: The other evening
when we gave an onion saengerfest
you remember our lives were saved
from too much vocal fireworks by the
announcement that chow was Aready.
We waltzed in and took our stalls
with hearts full of thanksgiving.
And here's where old DIR. Guffhand-
or. the food expert, stepped into the
spot light and took the show away
from everybody.
You know, Bunch, the Doc is one
Of those old guys with license to
hunt for germs, and everything he eats
has to give the countersign and then
go through written examination.
He loves to display his scientific
knowledge and throw Latin crimps
into the low foreheads.
Uncle Peter believes every word
that leaves Doc Guffhanders face. but
for my part | think he's an old Cam.

Well, Bunch. no sooner were we
seated at the table than Doc parted
his whiskers carefully, coughed to at.

Uncle Peter and Uncle Gregory, the
latter refreshed and made happy by
his noisy nap. were the only ones at
the table who seemed to take the doc
tor seriously.
Uncle Peter listened with marked
attention, while Uncle Gregory
glanced at his clans and shuddered,
The doctor ate his unconcernedly.
When the soup came on the Doc
lifted a spoonful thoughtfully. then
sloshed it slowly back in his plate
while the two old unkies eyed him
nervously.
It's bulyon." whispered Uncle
Peter, anxious to prove the soups in
nocence.
"Booyon," corrected Aunt Martha in
stage whisper to Uncle Pete.

the spoonful critically here are
traces of hydrophosphates and about
ten per cent. philharmonic acid"
Il never eat soup" gurgled Uncle
Greg, because it's waste of good
space"
The doctor said nothing more, but
quietly surrounded his soup.

table were becoming more or less I'M

of a meeting of martyrs an hour be-
fore the arena opened.
Please pass me some French.fried
potatoes" whispered Gregory, after
the pangs of hunger had eaten him to
the ropes,

fork, here we find one of the most
evil effects of food adulteration. This
potato was grown In the fall Of the
year 1889, but II has been washed In

of being modern, while its eyes have
been treated with helladonna to make
them bright and snappy"
Uncle Gregory groaned pathetically,
and the rest of us, out of polteness,
tried to look interested, but only sue
ceeded in looking seasick.
When the ice cream and cake were
brought on Dr. Guffhander drove his
spoon down deep into the chocolate
