　　In the matter of diet-which is another main thing-I have been strict in sticking to the things which didn't agree with me until one or the other of us got the best of it．Until lately I got the best of it myself．But last spring I stopped eating mince pie after midnight．For years I have taken coffee and bread at eight in the morning，and no bite until seven thirty in the evening．That is all right for me，because I have never had a headache in my life, but headachy people would not reach ninety comfortably by that road，and they would be foolish to try it．
