HoW TO LIVE LONG.
Eat Spnringly and ~ Life Wanes Eat
StiII More Spcrinaly.


That most men dig their graves With
their teeth has seldom been pointed out
more foreibly than is done in the Cen
tury in an article by Roger S. Tracy,
entitled How to Live Long" The
threescore and ten limit to human life
is pronounced fallacy. Death from
old age, occurring at seventy five or
eighty, is a misnomer Comparative
Psychologists, we are told, have set the
natural years Of man at 100. even
sometimes at 100, and the reason why
the overwhelming majority fall short
of normal life Is comprised In one SEN
tence-we all eat too much. He, then.
who would live to be old. retaining
sight hearing and some digestion, not
relinquishing the power of healthy en-
joyment, has but to follow a simple
rule. Eat sparingly. Refrain from
clogging the system by an Oversupply
of food. Never entirely satisfy the ap-
petite, and make it habit occasionally
to omit meal or two altogether.
IF / We're to assign any one thing as
especially conducive to long life from
study of the habits of centenarians.
it would be semistarvation," says one
authority quoted, and the example is
cited of one Luigi Cornaro. who. hav-
ing lived the pace that Kills, amended
his ways when death threatened and
so reorganized his enfeebled body by a
life of temperance and restraint that
he lived to be 100, although the doctors
had given him up at forty. In middle
life. from thirty-five to forty-five, ac-
cording to DIR. Tracy, there comes a
waning OF the powers. The effects Of
overindulgence IN eating or drinking
are no longer vigorously thrown of as
in youth If the fact is not recog-
nized and the same habits are kept
up as heretofore, there is trouble
ahead But If the individual adopts a
new regimen of diet. dimlnishes his
meals and regulates his existence as
becomes his soberer years sort of

Once when he was a pilot OH the
Mississippi Mark Twain sat with a
crowd of men around a wood stove In
a village store. Presence of mind was
being discussed, and nearly everybody
had story about presence of mind to
relate Twain said:

fire was, and soon | came to brick

''An cid man leaned half way out
Of the fourth story window, and the
red flames lit up his long white hair
and beard Help! Help he hollered.
Help. Helpv And he waved his arms
around his head making wild gestures.
Everybody in the crowd below
seemed paralyzed. No ladder was
long enough to reach the old man. The
fremen said if he stayed UP there he
would be burned to death and if he
jumped he would be crushed fiat.
"But l, with my presence Of mind.
