All do to Clean Living
In the smoking-car the conversation turned to the merits and demerits
of various ways of preserving health. One stout, florid man held
forth with great eloquence on the subject.
"Look at me!" he said. "Never a day's sickness in my life,and all due
to simple food. Why, gentlemen," he continued, "from the age of
twenty to that of forty I lived an absolutely simple regular
life----no effeminate delicacies, no late hours, no extravagances.
Every day, in fact, summer and winter, I was in bed regularly at nine
o'clock and up again at five in the morning. I worked from eight to
one, then had dinner--a plain dinner, mark my words: after that, an
hour's exercise; then--"
"Excuse me, sir," interrupted the facetious stranger in the corner,
"but what were you in for?"
