A DOCTOR'S ADVICE.
" You have a severe case of indigestion," said the physician to his new patient. " You should be very careful to eat only warm food, as it promotes the flow of gastric juice. Avoid iced drinks and that sort , of thing. I am afraid you aren't sufficiently careful about taking hot meals. In the hurry of business people frequently devour cold lunches in . the middle of the day. That's where they make a mistake.''. "Try to avoid that indiscretion," he went on, "even if you have, to neglect- your office duties a little. May I, inquire, sir, what your employment is?" ■ " I'm a fire-eater at the Universal Musical Hall," was the reply.
