The Views of a Veteran.

“An infrequent diner-out,” says Di. Depew, “is much more apt to indulge unduly in both food and drink than a veteran. When one’s social obligations compel him to appear in evening dress at his own home or some one else’s every night he finds that to have a clear head and sound stomach for the business of the next day he must practice self-denial temperance. We are all creatures of habit, and self-denial can become as much of a habit as over-indulgence. As the cares of business become more ex acting and the pace of life more rapid we pay greater attention to the laws of health. We find not only longevity but comfort in avoiding those things which impair or unduly excite our organism. Thus while our temptations increase we become more temperate. ”
