FED CROSSES ON THE MENU
Dyepeptlc Thought They Designated
Dishes That Had Been Approved
by His Predecessor.

The dyspcptio who gives praycrful
thought to every bite he eats sat
down at a restaurant table and
glanced obviously over the French
menu card on which dozen items
were marked with a cross in red ink.
"Io my untutored mind" said he,
Chose things sound all right. Some
other fellow with a stomach has
been here ahead Of me and has
marked off the few things that a
Christian can eat without inviting
sudden DEATH"
In his delight at finding the din
ncr problem thus proyidentially
solved the dyspeptic ordered six Of
the red cross dishes. They were un-
pronounccable and unrecognizable,
but they tasted good and the man
liked them When the last crumb Of
the last course had disappeared the
dyspeptic said geniolly to the waiter;
"Rum old chap that must have
been that ate at this table ahead of
me-"
"Ycs, sir" asserted the waiter,
"TIe was one Of them diet cranks
that drive restaurant people crazy
by marking up the bill Of fare with
red danger signals before the dishes
that nobody that amt got sound
digestion dares to trine with"
Good Lord" said the dyspeptic
and boIted for the nearest DOCTOR.
