Para. 6 “I have made it a rule to go to bed when there wasn’t anybody left to sit up with; and I have made it a rule to get up when I had to. In the matter of diet, I have been persistent in not eating the things that didn’t agree with me, until one or the other of us made the best of them. I have made it a rule never to smoke more than one cigar at a time. As for drinking, when others drink I like to help. I have never taken any exercise, except sleeping and resting, and I never intend to take any. Exercise I despise.” Para. 7 He lived to 75. In 1910, that was much longer than most Americans.PAGE UP PAGE Down
