Celebrities’ Confessions.

A ‘ Keep Fit” campaign has been started somewhere, writes the London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian, and many celebrities r have been asked to explain how they keep fit.

Mr Lans bury rises at half-pas t seven, immediately after he hie drunk a cup of tea. He breakfasts at eight on a slice of bacon ant) egg, bread and butter, and tea, and in winter sometimes he adds porridge. He has fish or a little meat or chicken or cheese pu/dding, with vegetables, fruit or sv.Let, for his midday meal At tea he has tea. bread and butter, and fresh fruit, and for his evening meal he usually has milk, fruit and shredded wheat, and seldom takes meat or vegetables. He takes no stimulant and he does not smoke. Mr George Bernard Shaw confesses that after his morning swim at the Automobile Club he has a cup of hot preparation, grapefruit, a rye bread with butter and marmalade. His midday meal consists of macaroni cheese or an omelette with vege tables, with sweet, and dessert, and his evening meal is much the same. He does not touch meiat, fish, coffee, alcohol, tea. or tobacco. Mr J. B. Priestley’s view on the subject is cheerful. He explains that he has a fairly substantial breakfast —eggs and bacon or kedjeree, toast and marm'alade, and tea. For lunch he has' cheese and fruit, and at about 4.30 he has tw«o cups of tea to keep nim awake for what he regards as the best working period of the da.y, between 5 and 7.30, which is one of the reasons that he never goes to cocktail parties. He usually dines about 8 o’clock, and has three courses. He rarely takes supper. Miss Marie Tempest begins with a breakfast in bed, with grapefruit, toast and 'tea. Her middia.y meal includes fish, chicken or cutlet or game, or whatever is going, and lager beer. Her evening meal, When playing, is eaten at half-past eleven, much the same as her midday meal. With this she hla.s whisky and ice water (no soda water). She goes to bed every afternoon for an hour or so, as she has done all her life, even when not working.
