Moses) was staged at the association’s annual dinner (states the “Auckland Star.”! The president bad earlier in the day delivered a stirring appeal for simplicity i’ll diet, urging the consumption, ' for health’s sake, of raw onions, carrots and tomatoes. It was. ti.etefore. assumed by his dental confreres from all over New Zealand that he might set them a wonderful exampcl when faced with the successive temptations of a fourteen-course dinner of the usual appetising character. They provided their president with a Til ate of raw vegetables, with brown bread, ns advocated in his address on dieting, and held up the waiters for a couple of- courses, so that Air Moses would have a chance to eat raw onions and similar healthy delicacies. Alas for percept! The president refused to sacrifice hiuiself on this convivial orcasion, and the technically perfect meal was used only as a. jocular object lesson throughout the evening.
