who deslr to live a -healthy and long
life;- r" .
1. Avoid every kind of excess, espe
cially in eating aBd-drlnklfig.-
2. Do not live to eat.-- Select thoee
aliments most .suitable for nourlahlng
the body and not those likely to Im
pair It
3,'Xook upon freaU,.air as your best
friend. Inhale lt life-giving oxygen ss
much as possible during the day, while
at night sleep with the bedroom window
open at th top for a epac of at least
four or flv inches. Follow this out
evn In the depth of winter. It Js one
of the great secrets ot long life.
4. Be elean bothHn -mlnd and body.
T"Cleanllness Is next to godliness. It
Is a fortification agalnst-dlseas.
5. Worry tiot nor grieve.- This advice

be eaalef te-nlv thai towseveTforowri0- tntSTfTrrrie,
thelesa. I have known persons of a
worrying disposition almost entirely
break themselves of it by a simple ef
fort of the will. Worry kills.
6. Learn to love work and hate Indo
lence. The laxy man never becomes a
centenarian. 1 ;
' 7. Have a hobby. A man with a
hobby will never die of senile decay.
He has always something to occupy
either mimt or body: therefore they re
main fresh and rigorous. ,
-8. Take regularexerclae In th open
air but avoid overexertion. -
9. Keep regular hours, and Insure suf
ficient sleep.. t
10. Beware of passion. Remember
-that-yvery outbreak shortens Ufa to atEeeBthecails : nf tlielr undoing . In-
certain- degree, while occasionally It Is
fatal.
11. Have an object In life. A man
who-has o purpoa .to 11 v for rarely

12. Seek a good partner in life, but
not too early.
