Show I Jirpt And Natural Dietary BH I For The Hide-Awake Business Man. Fruits, Fresh Vegetables And H Cereals, Etc. PB ' The following taken from "Good H Wealth," a magazine published at tho M HittleCreckSanltarlumby Dr. Kellog fl U worthy the careful perusal of every B una who may be in search of health H and longevity. H "Increased cfllclency Is essential to B meet the competition of rivals, so H this Is the thing the wideawake busl- H (less man Is looking for. When his H attention has been drawn to the now H well-proved fact that beefsteak docs B ' dot Increase clUclcncy, but diminishes H it, tho matter immediately becomes H one which U worthy of his attention. H And when he has looked well Into it H i di.es not hesitate to make a radical H mngu In hlsnietat once. Jtecfstcaks H ml chops disappear from Ills bill ol M fire. Fruits, fresh vegetables, and B cirealsaro substituted, and he soon Id scovers that he lias made no mistake, iilsclcarerhead, lilslncreascd capacity M for work and readiness to attack haid H problems, the Increased amount of H a:umen, the quickness of comprehcii- H slon, etc., are all the evidence needed H that etllclcncy is wonderfully enhanced B by a simple and natural dietary. B "An excellent example of the above B Is alTorded by the recent conversion H . ot Senator Chauncey Depew, for a B quarter of a century famous the world H f over as a good- feeder and an after- 1 dinner speaker. The Montauk Olub m ot Brooklyn, has for some years given H an annual birthday dinner for the H Senator. On the last occasion he H 'celebrated his seventy-fourth birth- H -day. The Senator, who last year was H lulte ill, presented himself In perfect BBBBB1 i health, and announced the fact that his good health began with the giving upofllesh and fowl for vegetables. We quote tho following portion of his speech, which we feel sure will bo of Interest to our readers, and wo trust may be the means of encouraging some other business men to do the same: When a man passes seventy, no question Interests him so much as the secrets of longevity, and when he passes eighty, tho subject is still more absorbing. I sat opposite Chevreul at thi dinner given to him by the government gov-ernment of France on his hundredth birthday, and asked him to what .he ascribed his jrreat age. Ho replied thaNt was due to the fact that since he was eighteen he had a salary from the government, which, though small, was sutllclctit for Ills simple needs, and therefore lie never worried; that ho had been a light eater and never touched wine or tobacco. 1 said, Then what do you drink?' He answered, an-swered, 'The waters ot the Seine.' That river Is notoriously more charged with poisonous bacteria and typhoid germs than any other stream In the world. Yet there was living In Paris at that time a soldier of the Napoleonic Napole-onic wars earning a precarious livelihood liveli-hood as a messenger who was three years older than Chevreul. He was killed tho next year by tumbling down stairs when he was drunk, having gone to bed In that condition for half a century. The proper Inference from this Is that if he had lived like Chevreul he might have passed his two hundredth birthday. "I notice when tho newspapers speak of people giving up beet because of rising price, there Is universal ridicule. 1 date my freedom from almost chronic chron-ic rheumatism to the day when I copped eating beef; and sleep,, digestion, diges-tion, and clarified vision such as I had nover known bsforo have kept lncreas-i lncreas-i ig as I dlimlssed flesh and fowl for vegetables. With nine-tenth ot the world, the greatest happiness In life Is the table piled with the things one loves to eat and drink, and the pleasures plea-sures of a gorge. But for that, from ray pUal and the graveyard would be largely out of business." |
