AUE saddest, most tragic of ca
ble messages was MASHED I'M
der the sea across from Europe
to American newspapers re-
,ontlv 1t was that the magnificent
sarah Bernhardt is so appalled, at the
iought of growing old that her friends
watch her lest she attempt suicide.
The thought that she must age, grow
Inactive physically, become shriveled
and hdeous looking, no longer able to
onioy the histrionic triumphs beyond
compare that have been hers for gen.
pration, never came to her before. Now
# has overwhelmed her, and who can
blame her? Last year, when she was
here in America, she said of herself, 81
look young because l am young" And
she did look young. Is it possible that
now she has suddenly lost her grip
and given up to old age? If so, then
this great woman will grow old rapid
". A determined keeping young in
the mind and active in the body/will
stae off decay certainly twenty years.
Old age! 1t is the most awful fact of
mankind cannot reconcile itself and
never has done SO. But must it? Does
not this instructive horror itself show
that decrepitude and senility are not
absolutely necessary? There is not
seeming evil pertaining to human ex-
lstence that cannot be remedied. | be-
eye the time is coming when the race
will know how to keep their bodies
strong and slightly their mental pow
ers undimmed, SO long as they live.
Mankind has already solved harder
problems than that. Scientists seem
today very near the secret Of life and
Its renewal. Does not this hint of
time when they will be able to replace,
cell by cell, old bones and muscle with
new ones and to infiltrate the shrunken
arteries Of age with the fiery, rich, red
blood of youth? believe it does. Mean
time keep young in dress, in expression
and in physical activity. Don't be
slowed into your grave before you are
dead.
Your body is an animal over which
you have or ought to have control.
When the weather is a little chilly and
you say you are just frozen to DEATH
your body acts automatically and sym
pathetically on that statement. Next
time the temperature is a little chilly
your body recalls what you said before
and begins to shiver as though it were
desperately cold. Again, when you
say you are roasted to death your body
thinks you mean it and does it's best
to live up to your declaration. Conse-
quently when again the day is rather
unusually warm the body will think
Itself uncomfortably hot and vex you
accordingly. Now, the fact is you were
not anywhere near being either frozen
or roasted, but your statement has its
effect on your body. If you must say
anything concerning your physical sen
sations, which is doubtful, just temper
ately tell the truth and let it go.
