Restaurant men know that appetites are

surprising thing Is that people eat most
on the day that is dark and dismal. On
a cloudy day people just sit and eat.
Dentists know that people are slow to
make and quick to break appointments
on cloudy days. A cloudy day is depress-
ing and patients lack the nerve to face
the ordeal.
Bad weather helps the physicians. Low
cred spirits make people think they need
the doctor.
Rainy days boost the mail order bust
ness. because country people, oblige to
remain indoors, drive away dull care by
