He went to 1:1s physician, submitted to

scrap heap.
This la what the doctor, who happen

two or three days later:

The man who thought he was going

suggestion of a rigid diet. The diet
prescribed consisted of milk—only milk
—and the man who saw visions of the
scrap heap loved his “vlttles,” but he
decided to follow the doctor’s orders.
He stuck to the rigid diet
And he made it a practice to walk

acquired a scorn for the Btreet car after
a week or two astonished him.
At the end of a week of dieting and
walking, this man began to look upon
life with different eyes. His work,

two weeks, with a modified but still
skimpy diet, and more walking, he be
