"A Christmas dinner isn't very dlgestible meal" said Dr. Henry c. Higgins, the noted dietitian of Du- lrth, in recent lecture.
 Plum pudding and mince pie are meals in themselves. Therefore. consumed on top of two or three pounds of turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and creamed onions and canned corn and peas, pudding and pie are apt to make trouble.
 There's many a severe illness due to Christmas gluttony that is given some high-sounding name to gratify the vanity of the patient.
