For the Individual
Desirable
longevity

very Oiu HneH Will young neartS
have always interested me.
When I began studying the daily
sources of desirable longevity my in.
terest in the healthy elderly in.
creased
A few weeks ago l met in Chi.
cago bank a six-foot-six gentleman
who had been enjoying life for near
ly eighty years.
After telling him about my new ill
terest in longevity forces and asking
him for talk ON the subject, he re-
piled: well, you have struck me at
bad time. l 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
well on account of it,"
On a previous occasion he had told
me that he ate what he liked and
office day on account of sickness in
forty-fve years. He.-was healthy
man and enjoyed wholesome food. H.
had high motives and a shining face.
He made money and used it wisely.
You can appreciate my intense
feelings when | read that few days
ago he was killed by train while
crossing track in an Eastern town.

warning. but frequently it, by perver
