what shall I eat to be saved?' is the
haunting question among rich men in
America. Robert G. Ingerson, orator,
wit and genius Of good fellowship. look
ed like man who might live a thou
sand years, yet every day he was fight
ing for his life. Medicine and hygiene
were called into his service, and eminent
physicians advised him. Result: Eat
the right kind OF food" he was told.
Then Mr.. Ingersoll began the heroic
feat Of training his appetite. Transform
ing tigers and hyenas into fireside COM
panions was easy compared with it. But
the problem was mastered, sweet sleep
and health returned. fat was reduced and
life again seemed worth living.
1t is said that Mr.. Ingersoll prolonged
his existence ten to fifteen years by MS
system of diet-abstaining from starchy
foods, rich sauces. heavy dark meats,
coffee, wines and liquors. Here is what
the gifted orator ate:
Breakfast-Baked apple or other fruits
in season. almost any kind except ber-
ries; toast or mullins. Tea, never coffee
No oatmeal. Luncheon-OmeIet or eggs
in any form, fricassee of chicken, turkey
or any white meat: fish. sparinsly, and
a small cup of coffee for the finish.
Dinner-Soup, fish, white meat, nom
starchy vegetables, small coffee. No
wines or liquors of any kind. nor artifi- f,
cial mineral waters. all bad for the stom- |
ach. Cider may be used occasionally. |
Drink no water with meals. Natural |
spring waters all right.
1t may be news to the public that this |
menu has been adopted by many of Mr.. |
1ngersoll's friends distinguished people, |
and today it is the daily bill-of-fare of |
