Knox, who doesn't weigh much more
than three ham sandwiches, has gain
ed ten pounds already, and Attorney
General Wickersham, who was the on
" member Of the Cabinet that refused
to adopt the simple life luncheon, has
the laugh on his associates who did.
The President inaugurated his new
policy Of taking three square meals a
day for two reasons. First, he found
that the cravings of the inner man
were not satisfied with two and half
meals, and. secondly, his system OF ex-
ercise has kept his weight down and
he thinks he can safely return to the
old way Of working off three square
meals.
The President discovered some time
ago that he could safely take care of
three full meals by continuing his
daily golf and horseback riding. Since
Decoration day he has not missed a
! midday meal.

A smile would bring q fine.

In days ere came reform.
Must now be drunk with ne'er q

Or start legal storm.
Drink to me only with thy lamps,
And I'll tank up on mine.
Put nothing heady in CLIP,

For should we use the oil of jov.
Pursued by ginger ale.
They'd label us bootleggers. dear,
And slam US both in Jail.

With one expressive eye
