MEN OF IMMENSE APPETITE
Remarkable Tales Told Of the Vorac-
lty Of an English and a
German Glutton.

A Yorkshireman was staying al
the same hostelry with three other
visitors. He came down before the
Others and sat down to breakfast and
began. Half an hour later the other
three were calling for their coffee,
toast and eggs. The waiter assured
them that they had all been served
at the appointed time, and it tran
spired later that the Yorkist had con
sumed fifteen eggs and a correspond
ing number Of rashers, under the i'm
preston that it was all meant for
himl
The Germans are VIGOROUSLY big
eaters, and are very much averse to
starving, London Answers states. II
IS told of a market porter in Berlin
making a bet that he would put
away six mutton chops, twelve eggs,
a goose, a duck. six pounds Of pota-
toes and twenty-five pounds of hay.
This commissariat was not for a
month. It was for one meall Diff
culties were anticipated with the last
course, as the eater was a man and
not a horse.
However, this ingenious man
solved the difficulty by calling for a
cigarette, after he had finished the
duck. lie then set light to the hay,
pounded the ashes up with the pota-
toes, and swallowed the lot.

THEATERs EAST AND WEST
Oriental Places Of Amusement Have
Their Customs, as Have Those
Of the occident.

Oriental visitors to our theaters
think the performances very ludi-
crous, even if a tragedy is being en-
acted. We reciprocate by thinking
that Chinese and Japanese theaters
are run by crazy people, the customs
are so very peculiar.
In japanese theaters a singular
custom prevails of allowing a visitor,
for a small fee, to stand up, and the
unfortunate individual behind him
has no right to demonstrate or to
rise and try to get a peep at the
stage. lie may hear, but he cannot
see.
Another popularity is that the ex-
travagantly disposed visitor may
purchase the right to sit upon the
stage wherever he likes, and the ac-
tors go on with their parts in appar-
ent unconsciousness Of his presence.
1t is not an unusual spectacle to
see a broadsword combat fought all
around a visitor, who coolly enjoys
the scene and shows no disposition
to move.

We Certainly Do Love Work.
We are prepared to do better

A Harmless Soothing Syrup.
One of the best things that the
Food and Drug Law has done is
to expose the dangerous sooth-
ing syrups that contain NOR
phine.
We don't believe in dosing chill
dren with medicine every time
they cry anyway. But when a
child is fretful and nervous in
spite of all the careful attention,
it is sometimes desirable to give
a harmless sedative.
