VALUE OF LIFE,
Highest Case of the Man Who Feeds
FrugallY.

The vast majority of people are
absolutely wrong on the subject of
feeding; they think that rich and
luxurious people, feeding on the
richest and most luxurious foods,
are the most fortunate and healthy
people. ! assure you it is Just the
reverse. | am the director of an
insurance company, and am obliged
often to make an estimate of the
commercial value of life If, then,
two persons of the same age and
commercial build come for calcula-
ton as to the monetary value Of
their future lives, and if one be rich
and luxurious and the other be com
petent and frugal-frugal even to
abstemiou5ness-I would value the
/ life Of the frugal person as 20 per
cent, at least, better than that Of
the rich and luxurious person,
Dives died in plenty, Lazarus in
poverty. DO not die like Lazarus If
you can help it, and do not die like
Dives if you have the opportunity,
but find the happy condition-easy
enough to find If you determine to
learn how on least food you can do
the most and best work Never cat
until you are satiated never eat in
the day one heavy meal, but divide
your food into three light meals,
equally distributed as to time and
quantity eat slowly and take small
mouthfuls; masticats or chew your
focd well; touch your food with your
fingers as little as possiblei do not
cry out for animal food more than
twice day at most have all ami
NAL food well cooked, and do not
forget fruit as food,
In Queen Elizabeths time the or
ange, the golden fruit of the Hes.
perides, might find It's way to the
Queens table, but such fruit was
indeed scarce, Joints of meat were
cut up with the frll OF paper round
the end of the joint to hold by forks
being unknown and her loyal sub
Ieets, a 8hort.llyed race, knew little
how to make the most Of life in the
matter of feeding and drinking,
suffered from diseases which we're
of the most avoidable as well as OBJ

GEORGE WASHINGTON,

George Washington, to whom
this government has placed this
day on the list of legal holidays in
his memory, did more perhaps for
the history Of this country than
any living man before or since, He
started in the world a poor boy, his
father having died when he was a
mere youth and his education was
self earned one, picked up in small
schools and in the business channels
he pursued. At the age Of ~, he
started out as a surveyor and
while at this occupation, was made
a Major of state troops over older
heads, and above men who had seen
military service, while Washington
had not. lie was given command
Of the entire army when hostilities
broke out between the states, and
the mother country-En England and
led our troops to victory, and gave
the word another nation. He was
made our first president and served
his two terms well, and his biogra.
piers have never limited at one sin
gle stain upon his fair name, He
was born Feb, 22nd, l732, and died
Dec. 14th, 1893, The many monu-
ments erected to his memory In our
large cities attest the love and es'
TEEN we as a nation, bear his mem
