HOW TO LIVE A CENTURY.
Fallacy of Attempting to Follow a Code of
 Hygienic Rules.

Hartford Post.
 An English physician--he goes under the titled name of Sir James Sawyer-has been formulating a set of rules for prolonging life to 100 years. Nineteen rules are em- bodied in this code, although it's too bad that he don't think up another and thus make the number an even score It isn't necessary to repeat his regulations. Any body who tried to remember them all and to obey them would die of premature worry Specimen njunctions of the collections are to sleep eight hours: sleep your right side; don't take a cold bath in the morning; exercise before breakfast: don't drink milk: avoid grog; eat heap of fat: live in the country if you can: have a change of occu- patton; take frequent and short holidays; and so forth and SO on.
 Rules of this sort are, of a truth. interest ing enough, but just how much they amount to is problematical. The vital defect with any rigid set of regulations for keeping alive indefinitely is that they fail to take into account that people aren't all cast in the same mold. What's one mans meat is an other mans poison. A set of rules that Is good for one person may be bad for another. one individual may need a minimum of eight hours sleep, while another can get along with less. Napoleon would have had supreme contempt for anybody who had tried to argue him Into the belief in the necessity of spending third of the day be- tween sheets, An occasional vacation may be absolutely essential to some folks. but there's Russell Sage who Is vigorous at eighty-six and who has never taken vaca- tions and doesn't believe In them. A cold bath in getting out of bed in the morning is just the right thing for some persons and just the wrong thing for other persons One man will get along well on a diet on which another person would get along ill Assumption that the same detailed rules of living applicable to all members of the human family ignores the vital fact Of Individuality and of personal differentiation
 Regularity of habits Is undoubtedly de- sirable thing-provided the habits are good and not bad. But person who tries to adjust his life to a code of detailed hygienic rules and who worries If he drinks a glass Of milk f6 breakfast when the regulations of the hundred-year club say he shouldn't isn't likely to be the oldest inhabitant of the town when his name gets into the obit- column.
