colors with. no blending of hues

AND THIS IS WHAT BE ATE.

The Philadelphia Ledger is re-
sponsible for the following:
When it comes to eating, William
Lee wins the tan-colored chapeau.
Lee, who lives at 1907 Christian
street, has always boosted that he
could eat as much as six men at one
sitting. Yesterday he mentioned
his capacity to Michael Yaffee,
druggist at 1918 South street, and
William Smith, of 2211 Lombard
street. They would not take his
word, but demanded a demonstra-
ton with $25 as the stakes in case
Lee won. If he lost he was to pay
for the meal.
The three men went to restaur-
| ant at Seventeenth and Lombard
streets and there Lee, who is six
Fleet four inches tall and who
weighs 23S pounds, tucked a nap
| kin under his chin and beckoned TO
the waiter. This is what he order
ed and ate and drank:
A twelve-pound turkey with stuff
ing, time, forty-five minutes; bones
| picked clean.
81 haven't started yet," said Lee.
Fifty-three prime oysters.
Two pounds of pork chops.
Twelve eggs.
| Two slices of ham.
Beef stew, large order.
| Twelve cups of coffee.
Three loaves of bread.
Six bottles of soda water.
AS the last bottle of soda water
disappeared, the $25 was handed
Lee.
Now the story should end with
the man pushing back his chair,
arising and say, "Well, I guess I'll
go home to supper" but this is dir
ferent.
Lee attempted to rise, but was
unable to do so. A look of pain
spread over his face and he mutter-
ed, Get a Doctor! Get a doctor!"
| Yaffee telephoned for a physician,
who had Lee taken to his home. The
eater had a touch of indigestion, but
it soon passed, and last night he
said he would be ready for another
such feed if some one would put up
SIS and pay for the food and a
doctor. !.

Preventative Medicine.

The tendency of medical science
is toward preventative measures. It
is easier and better to prevent than
to cure. Pneumonia, one Of the
most dangerous diseases that medi-
cal men have to contend with, often
follows a cold or attack of the grip.
The cold prepares the system for the
reception and development Of the
pneumonia germ. The longer the
cold hangs on, the greater the dan
ger. Take Chamberlain Cough
Remedy as soon as the first indica-
ton Of cold appears so as to get
rid Of it with the least possible de-
lay. It is folly to risk an attack OF
pneumonia when this remedy may
be obtained for a trifle.
