Show GLUTTON. Peter the Great, of Russia, and his gang of twolve stopped at Goldaming village, England, in 1698. For breakfast break-fast they ordered half a Bheep, a quarter quar-ter of lamb, 10 pullets, 12 chickens. 3 quarts of brandy, 16 quarts of wine and 84 eggs. The tavern records show that the 13 gluttons devoured this repast to tho last crumb and tho last drop. Comparo this with the dainty breakfasts break-fasts we eat today Man has starved his way into civilisation. A gorged stomach and a stuffy head go together. |
