CUT It OUT ALTOGETHER ff | The Big Sunday Dinner: BY THE REV. CHARLES STELZLE Staff Writer on Keligious Topics for The Star The Bible bibber.” Thin ie @ good thing to remember in these days of temperance agita tion. Most of us imagine that “temperance” has to do merely with cutting out “boore—it has just as much to do with cutting out bread or beet that is, bread or beef that is to be eaten by one who has already been overfed, It ts Just as possible to waste foodstuffs by putting them into our stomachs as it is to waste them by converting them into “booze.” A man who overindulges in food doesn’t usually make as bad an impreesion upon the public as one who overindulges in liquor, but he may be just as intemperate at heart and in his appetite as the man who reels along the street. And it is a question as to who is doing the most harm. Most of us are more intemperate on Sundays than we are other days in food consumption. Sunday ts supposed to be the day when the mind and the body are to be rested—recreated, in preparation for the next week's work. sf But the way some of us load up on food on Sunday ts enough to Dut us out of commission for the rest of the week. We tackle a big Sunday dinner, the preparation of which has kept the women folks busy for a day or so, and which will keep them busy washing dishes most of the afternoon, while we go off somewhere in the back yard or on the roof or in a hammock under the trees we'll lie down or the grass or sneak off to the porch or maybe upstairs to bed— logy and stupid that we aren't fit to talk with anybody. Many of us spoll the day in this way not only for ourselves, but for families, who have a right to expect something more of us on Sun only day that we are around the house to take part in family affairs and to make the home more like what it should be. What about cutting out the big Sunday dinner? Let's have mercy on our wives and daughters who get the meals ready for us, as well as upon our own physical systems, which we are overworking because we eat too much. ‘Try it out for a while and see what happens.
