Hits Midnight Suppers.

Indianapolis, Dec. 28.—“1 wish all those who join in the midnight orgies New Year's eve in the hotels and cases in Indianapolis will awaken in the cold gray dawn of the morning after and be haunted by the vision of the emaciated forms of the war sufferers in shell-torn Belgium and France, in addition to the dark brown taste in their mouths and the dull throb of pain in their heads.” So saying, Dr. Harry E. Barnard, federal food director for Indiana, struck a body blow at midnight suppers that usher out the obi and invite in the new year. “They, can drink all they want to,” he added, “but they can’t eat all they want to.”
