The Meal and the Ap petite

For the first time in history court has under taken to decide what appetite is. The meal" has already been passed upon was first brought with in judicial purview at the time of the operation of the Raines law in New York and as we remember a sandwich was held to be meal and a pretext for a drink many drinks as the furnishing patron might order Under this ruling the mere presence of the sandwich sufficient. It was not necessary that it should eaten but might be with drawn and "served' again and again. It is said that in drinking places rubber sandwiches, being even more indestructible, were used.
 The sandwich and meal" question has na- turally recurred at Los Angeles in the attempted enforcement of the Gandier ordinance. It has there been held that the sandwich may or may not be a meal. That depends upon the appetite of the patron If he eats it, especially with some show of relish 1t is meal: otherwise it is only pretext. As meal it entities the patron the privilege of being served with drink but meal of such meager dimensions is not a royal warrant to him to fill his skin with ardent liquor
 As we make out from such accounts of the de- cison have seen. an appetite is proved by the fact of consumption, not nibblng at the sandwich the plate of beans but the actual dsap pearance of the food down the gulet of the patron who may then alcoholic liquor in very moderate quantity a chaser.
 The nub of the decision may be this: there can be no meal without appetite. But it has fallen within the melancholy experience of most of us at one time or another, that there may be an appetite without meal.
 If the court could have decreed and made if stick, that that the meal and the appetite must go hand in hand, must remain and inseparable that one cannot be without the other the decision would have eliminated than half the distress in the world and have solved at single stroke the problem of the high cost of living.
 But the decision in this crude unfinished state leaves lot of twilight zones It seems to us if ought to be much definite for the enlightenment of cafe proprietors and their guests It should be laid down, for instance, that with every sandwich or plate of beans actually and honestly consumed

lie was born in dear old Mississippi
just Il years ago
His folks were very proud Of him
As others are, you know.
They sent him to college
He was their pride and joy
IN the junior year the wal broke out
Twas then they lost their boy.
He went into the navy,
At Newport by the sea
He called himself an H. Az
Yes, happy now was he.
Just six long months ago
Found him sailing on the brine
On the U. S.S. Rhode Island
Gee! the life was fine.
But when he reached old Boston
The ship to him seemed slow,
So he thought he'd stay awhile
AT least while he had the dough.
He joined he U. s. s. Motinoless
On the 18th of May"
He worked hard to be a captain
But in October was sent away.
On the Lake Boat Helen
You will now be sure to find
This happy old John Hardin
Afloating on the brine.

Let every one start yelling
For he's out to make a Medical

A Soldiers Dream.

-
There's q little girl I'm loving In the
land across the sea,
Through the softness of the night,
she comes creeping close 10 me.
| can almost feel her hand clasp. l
can see her tender eyes,
As they glow across the darkness
with a light that never dies.
Oh, a hard day lies behind me, there's
a better day ahead,
There's q man next door who's moan
ing, and my bunkie mate is dead;
But she's comm through the shadows
and her her glance is misty bright
And l know her love is near me thro.
the horrors of the night.
Yes! She gave me to country, tho,
she might have made me stay.
How she kissed me, smiling bravely'
as she brushed away the tears;
And her voice rings past the moaning
past the battle raging near,
And she says, BE true and fearless
Just because l love you dear"
There's q little girl, she's waiting il
the land across the foam
How l know that she is praying thai
with honor I'll come home,
And l make myself a promise tina
III justify her plan
The ideal that she sets for me Of {
soldier and q man.
