thing in the world. To remain young
and fair, to defy the years that leave
their traces on face and figure, lies
within the power Of every person.
The great magic secret is contained
in these rules. Keep the mind clear Of
all unnecessary worry and the body
clear of all unnecessary food. Live
with great regularity and still greater
moderation. Keep the heart young.
The one in whom faith and hope and
love still live must reflect the fact on
the features. 1t is the hopelessness,
the disappointment Of life, the alb
sence OF love OF the positive sort that
that make so many women grow old
before their time. They may love
those near to them in IA perfunctory
sort of way, but this negative love.
The love that lifts them out Of
themselves and glorifies the humblest
home is gone or has forever passed
them by; hence the unhappy disap-
pointed faces one sees on every side,
love some one or something truly, if
it is only dog. The emotion makes
you forget yourself and keeps you lin
gering. To be healthy is the natural
state, disease usually being punish
ment for some indiscretion or excess.
Therefore keep we'll. Sleep eight
hours in twenty. four. VentiIate
your homes and Offices. Sleep with
the windows wide open, winter and
summer. Examine the list Of social
obligations. Cut out everything were
there is neither pleasure nor profit.
Simplify your social life. Compli-
Gated living causes worry, and worry
is the chief destroyer OF health and
happiness. Make your home as pleas.
ant and cheerful as possible, but keep
within yodr means if you have mind
at peace with yourself and the world.
Drink nothing but water or milk
especially drink quantities of water.
You can never drink to much of it.
Bear in mind that alcohol is so much
poison; that wine, beer, coffee and
tea are poisons, too. Do not take
medicine into your system unless alb
solutely necessary. Eat little meat.
Very little food OF the right sort is re-
quired to keep the body in full
strength. F nit is by far the
hest and cheapest. Strong men who
have lived on milk, dried figs and
and nuts. Their health was superb;
their strength remarkable. Remem.
Der that health is youth. Losing
ones hair is disease, the stiffening
of the joints is disease, the wrink-
ling Of the skin is disease, and dis
ease brings age with all its ills.
Cold cream and massage to pre-.
serve the complexion and the youth
full contours are minor details. II you
would get at the heart OF things, keep
we'll and happy and thus be forever
young.
How many people there are who
take no interest in their own affairs
but waste useless energy on the affairs
OF Others. They are not necessarily
busybodes, who leave the sting of
mischief making in their wake, nor
gossips, for whom the Filipinos have
the quletive punishment of hanging,
but people who take a heart.to heart
friendly interest IN the family affairs
Of everybody with whom they come in
contact; endeavof to temporarily bear
others burdens or tell how they
should be borne; interfere where the
case brooks no interference, and be-
lieve in their "bounden duty in life
to become a friendly 60 between,
sermonizer or a guardian angel.
Do you know any such persons?
If so, you will acknowledge that they
are generally in hot water. Their
sudden friendships of yesterday are
bitter enmities of to. morrow. Worri-
ment and modification are their re.
wards for trying to manage the pri-
vate business Of other people.
The person who interferes in street
fights and personal alterations is the
one who comes off worsted, il not ar.
rested in the end. The woman who
becomes self-installed mentor and
adviser between man and wife, or con-
hives to make or break matches, is
going to lose friends.
Beware OF men or women who can
not mind their own business, but feel
called upon to officiously pilot other
people through the world.
