1t Is hopeful sign Of desire for
sane living, in our strenuous age, when
the people are ready to listen to the
doctors discuss the question Of how to
postpone old age. That there 10 popu-
lar interest in the problem Of longevity
is evidenced by the many contributions
to the public prints upon this subject
by scientific men. A most interesting
and instructive contribution to the dis
cussion IL made by a writer in the
London Lancet. As usual he prefaces
his suggestions as to how to prolong
life by trying to impart to the layman
a correct understanding Of what "Old
age" IL. Old age Is hardening of the
coats Of the blood vessels, q drying up
Of the tissues and a stiffening Of the
joints. Therefore, says the writer,
keep your tissues moist and your
joints well oiled."7 This does not mean
to live In the water or to drink olive
oil. 1t means a certain amount Of ex-
ercise taken regularly every day in the
open air. This regular exercise-not
spasmodic gymnastic spurts-strength
ems the heart. causing that organ to
pump the fluids of the body to the re-
hottest corners, thereby improving nu-
triton and causing all the other or
gans to do their natural work. This
nutrition abundantly supplies the body
with power and furnishes material for
the combustion which, when sufficient
ly strong, gives the body the ability to
resist chills, which are the natural enc
mics Of life. To this advice as to how
to keep the tissues from drying up and
the joints from stiffening the writer
adds this regarding food: "In the
matter of food my recipe for longev-
ity will strike, 1 am afraid, the Amer
lean people in weak spot. The most
important advice Is to refrain from
large quantities of meat and eggs. The
latter, when eaten in large quantities
or continually every day for the three
meals, or even for two meals, are as
destructive to length of life as the
regular and free consumption of alco-
hol. In fact, no matter what kind Of
food is taken, the quantity should be
small. The human body can live and
thrive and work on a surprisingly
small quantity Of nourishment. Great
moderation in eating is, therefore, one
of the keys that unlock the doors of
long living" The nervous system,
he further adds, ought to be kept in
healthy condition by regular mental
work and judicious occupations. The
wearing" theory, both as to mental
and physical work, is wrong. Both
should be continued in old age. Well
directed mental work assists the nu-
triton Of the brain just as the action
of a muscle promotes its nutrition.
In the matter Of sleep he says: "Too
much sleep Is injurious. From five to
seven hours Of sleep daily are suffi-
cient for an adult"

county. In the course of time such a
station will more than pay back this
sum in benefits to tho planters. An
experiment station will find those
plants and vegetables best adapted to
the soil from which thousands Of dol.
lars can be realized. An experiment
station will also closely investigate
fertilization, and the result of the ex.
periments made along this line alone
will be Of inestimable value. Last,
but not least. the station will enhan 70

them. A country that gives better
returns for the amount of Work put
out than any other on the face of the
globe. A climate that is at all sea-
sons of the year healthful and pleas
ant to dwell within. A country of
milk and honey where happiness and
prosperity dwells at all times.
We can promise all who attend a
great time and many courtesies. The
Wide awake citizens of our delta city,
Greenville, will do all in their power
to make our visit pleasant one and
will take pride in showing the asso-
