How TO Keep Young.

Keep in the sunlight, nothing beauti-
full or sweet grows or ripens in the
darkness.
Avoid fear in all its varied forms of
expression. 1t is the greatest enemy of
the human race
Avoid excuses of all kinds; they are
Injurious. The long life must be a
temperate, regular life.
Don't live TO eet. but eat to live. Many
of our ills are due to overeating, to
eating the wrong things and to irregu-
lar eating.
Don't allow yourself to think on your
birthday that you are a year older and
so much nearer the end.
Never look on the dark side, take
sunny views of everything; a sunny
thought drives away the shadows.
Form a habit of throwing OFF before
going 10 bed at night all the cares anc
anxieties OF the day-everything which
