HOW TO LIVE LONG.

Make cleanliness your motto, and
watch against filth in both house and
grounds.
Spend part of each day in muscular
work, part in study and part in good
deeds to men.
Fix deeply in mind the grand truth
that life power rules the body, and that
il alone can cure disease.
Deformity is not awlwardness only,
but danger. A high chest will give
freedom to breathing and digestion, and
help to cure many diseases.
Few starve for food, but many for
air. Breathe deeply 100 times daily.
Wear no tight clothing. Above all,
ventilate your sleeping-room.
Beware of gluttony. If the appetite
is dull, eat fruit only, or eat nothing.
Use no fiery condiments, but live chiefly
on natural grains, vegetables and fruits.
Never ask your stomach to chew your
food-employ your teeth. Adorn your
table not only with viands, but with
flowers and smiles and kindly words
