For the Individ ua1
Desirable
Longevity

Very old men with young hearts
have always interested me.
When | began studying the daily |
sources OF desirable longevity my In
terest in the healthy-elderly in
creased.
A few weeks ago met in Chi |
cago bank slx-foot-six gentleman
who had been enjoying life for near
ly eighty years.
After telling him about my new in
terest in longevity forces and asking
him for talk on the subject, he re-
piled: "Well, you have struck me at
bad time, am going East tonight
for three months"
On suggesting that he might give
me in minute few hints for young
men, he told me this:
Extreme regularity In eating,
sleeping and working have been my
rule, My Sunday is not as regular
as other days and do not feel as
we'll on account of it."
On a previous occasion he had told
me that he ate what he liked and
wanted and that he had not lost an
Office day on account OF sickness in
forty-five years. He was a healthy
man and enjoyed wholesome food. He
had high motives and shining face.
He made money and used 1t wisely.
/ You can appreciate my intense
| feelings when | read that a few days
ago he was killed by a train while
crossing track in an Eastern town.
