You can’t keep your health unless you live In harmony with nature. “Most women need exercise, nour ishing food and a proper amount of sleep. People who stay up until all hours do not get the proper amount of sleep, nor do they get It at the right time. 1 have always loathed champagne and other strong drinks and fought against the cultivation of a taste for liquor.
