Show Strathcona and the Simple Life. Arc two meals a day conducive to longevity? We should think they are, judging from the life of Lord Strathcona, Strath-cona, who is a champion of the simple life and a devoted exponent of the "two meals a day" theory. Breakfast at S::)0 usually consists of porridge and milk, toast and marmalade, and tea with hot water added. Not until 7 o'cl -jck in the evening does the high commissioner eat anything else or drink any stimulant. He' then sits down to a simple meal consisting of soup, fish, fowl and table water. Sir Thomas Barlow has described Lord Strathcona as "an ideal dietist." Noth- j ing will tempt him from his simple, nourishing diet, and in his eighty-seventh year he keeps his active body and mind working in harmony or two meals a day. |
