An insurance man of my acquaint-

and coffee, a hurried lunch at noon,
but also with meat, and heavy dinner
at night. He took no exercise, always
rode between house and Office, became

SO overloaded that he readily succumb-

Diet should depend upon temperament
and vocation. At hard work out Of
doors one requires more nutriment than
at sedentary labor indoors. A gradual

fast, will cure many ordinary ills. Add
