Vest Pocket Dinners, 
It is said that a German student of 
food concentration has succeeded so 
well with his experiments that a single 
small capsule now suffices for a full 
meal, and that ten seconds is the 
average time he spends at either his 
breakfast, luncheon or dinner. The 
prediction is freely made that within 
a few years we shall all be subsisting 
upon capsules, there will be no more 
cooking in our households and the 
servant problem will be solved most 
beautifully. Of course, under these 
conditions, there would be no more 
public dinners or banquets of state; 
our caterers would be thrown out of 
employment, and the great hotels 
would become simply dormitories. 
We would buy our meals at the drug 
stores and carry them in our pockets. 
The sign ‘Quick Lunch” would dis- 
appear from our streets, for we could 
all be walking restaurants. 
Whatever the possibility of such a 
condition from a scientific standpoint, 
there is not the slightest danger of its 
realization within the lifetime of the 
present generation. Most of us, to be 
frank, are too fond of eating and drink- 
ing to be content with capsule repasts, 
however convenient as_ time-savers. 
The element of sociability, too, must 
be taken into consideration. The 
gathering of a family about the table 
three times a day adds immeasurably 
to human enjoyment. It is the place 
of all places where good cheer should 
prevail. There are sufficient in- 
fluences at work for the destruction 
of home life in these busy days with- 
out adding one more. We fear the 
food capsule will be a long time achiev- 
ing the popularity at present enjoyed 
by beefsteak and potatoes.— he
