SIMPLE DIET ALWAYS BEST
As True Now as When Addison Ad.
vised It, More Than Two
Centuries Age.

Two hundred years ago Addison
wrote: Mature delights in the most
plain and simple diet. Every animal,
but man, keeps to one dish. Herbs are
the food of this species, fish of that
and flesh Of third. Man falls upon
the smallest fruit or excrescence Of
the earth, scarce a berry or mushroom
can escape him.
1T Is impossible to lay down any
determInate rule for temperance.
Were to consider my readers as my
patients, and to prescribe such a kind
of temperance as Is accommodated to
all persons, | would copy the follow
Ing rules of very eminent physician:
Make your whole repast out of one
dish; IL you indulge in second,
avoid drinking anything strong till you
have finished your meal; at the same
time abstain from all sauces, or
at least such as are not the most plain
and simple"

HELPED BY SENSE OF HUM0R
Possibly Man Who Would Incorpc rate
IT In the Marriage Ceremony
Is Right.

A man got up the other day
and said II was his opinion that a
sense Of humor was so important In
life that II ought to be put right into
the marriage ceremony.
IL Is needless 10 udd that the man
who got up and said II was bachelor.
if he had been married man he
wouldn't have been allowed to get up
In the first place. and even II he had
managed that he couldn't have dared
say anything so radical.
This genileman's suggestion was
that, since the "obcy" had been am
futated from the service, the loving
couple should be required to love,
honor. and have sense Of humor" un-
I'll death do them part.
Undoubtedly sense of humor has
Its place In the home, but we don't
see the advantage OF thrusting It into
the wedding service.
IL you really had sense of humor
In working order you wouldn't be- do
Ing anything so ridiculous as promls-
ing anything. A man getting married
Is in no condition to enjoy joke
even If he is one.
when man can hardly keep a wife,
The way prices are, how can he be ex-
pected to keep sense Of humor?
Even II he did manage to scrape up
