60 NATURE STUDY REVIEW (10:2— Feb., 1914 



"I have been eating a great deal more hygienically and know 

 that also is a cause of the absence of headaches. 



"I do not fee] nearly so tired as the consequence of having more 

 fresh air. Rather feel rested upon rising." 



"Previous to my attempt to live up to the score card I was 

 bothered occasionally with headaches which I think were due to 

 over-eating but I can truthfully say that I have not had a head-

 years. The morning and evening exercises seem particularly 

 beneficial to me. The cold water baths seem to harden me to 

 the cold. I always feel so warm after taking them. Since I have 

 been massaging my hair it has become very oily and has grown 

 surprisingly. I find that regularity in rising and retiring is also 

 much more hygienic for my system. I have decided that my 

 appetite was needlessly and harmfully too large, and have felt
