Enjoy Yourself and Ignore Diet Tables

Sir George Birdwood, officer of the
Legion of Honor. laureate of the French
academy and formerly professor of
anatomy and physiology at Bombay,

his views on how to reach a ripe old

Don't think about your health.
Enjoy yourself as much as possible.
Ignore dietary tables.
Eat whenever you feel inclined.
Look on the bright side of things.
Sir George is particularly scornful
about the diet on which another con-
tributor to the discussion thrives-

butter daily.
