From interviws with thirty cell
turarians as to their habits of liv-
ing, the Minneapolis Times has
ma de the following summary of
rules to be followed by people who
desire to attain long life:
"Be a strict vegetarian Eat all
the meat you can get- Lead an
active life. Spend as much time
as possible in bed. Get up cary.
Be an abstainer from all strong
drink and let. tobacco severely
alone. Begin chewing and smok-
ing before you ere 10 years old
nd absorb as much alcoholic
moisture as your purse can buy.
Be a good fighter in the world.
Possess your soul with patience
and don't worry Be an invalid in
early youth and spend. a century
coddling your ailment. Be born
with hard muscles and several
teeth"
The Times is not too serious.
This is we'll enough, for by lead:
ing it's readers 70 laugh s i may
help prolong their lives. :, : -
/ Most ofsiits precriptionssare con,
ficting, but not more so than the
habits Of different individual who
have lived to a great age. There
is necessary conflict between the
precept which enjoins fighting and
that which enjoins freedom from
worry, for the man fights best who
worries least. Worry shorten more
liYes than anything else except
disease, and worry often brings
on disease. The best rules TO,
