some of the ways in which they may be

Peanuts rolled fine and added to the

CHANCES OF LONGEVITY.
Primary Conditions Necessary to = LonE
and Healthy Life.

Primary Conditions Necessary to . Long
and Healthy Life.
''The primary conditions of longev-
fty," the Medical Record quotes Mr..
+. w. Warmer as saying, "are that the
heart, lungs and digestive organs, as
we'll as the brain, should be large. If
these organs are large the trunk will
be long and the limbs comparatively
short. The person will appear tall
in sitting and short in standing. The
hand will have a long and somewhat
heavy palm and short fingers. The
brain will be deeply seated, as shown by
the orifice of the ear being low. The
blue hazel or brown hazel eye, as show
ing an intermission Of temperament,
is n favorable indication. The nostrils
being large, open and free indicates
large lungs. A pinched and half-closed
nostril indicates small or weak lungs.
I'm the case of persons who have
short-lived parentage on one side and
long-lived on the other side the ques-
ton becomes more involved. 1t is
shown in grating by hybridiz:ng that
nature makes a supreme effort to pass
the period of the shorter longevity and
extend the life to the greater longevity.
Anyone who understands these weak
and dangerous periods Of lie is f re-
warned and forarmed. 1t has ben Oh
served that the children Of lorg-.ived
parents mature much later and arc
usually backward in their Studies.''
