To Keep Young
(From the Chicago News J

Keep in the sunlight; nothing beau.
tiful or sweet grows or ripens in the
darkness.
Avoid fear in all it's various forms
of expression. 1t is the greatest en-
envy of the human race.
Avoid excuses of all kinds they
are injurious. The long life must be
q temperate, regular life.
Don't live to eat, but eat to live.
Many OF our ills are due to overeat-
ing, to eating the wrong thing and
to irregular eating
Don't allow yourself to think on
your birthday that you are year
older and so much nearer the end,
Never look on the dark side take
sunny views of everything sunny
thought drives away the shadows.
Be child ; live simply and natur-
ally and keep clear OF entangling al
dances and complications of all kinds
Cultivate the spirit of contentment:
all discomfort and dissatisfaction
brings age burrows prematurely on the
face.
Form a habit of throwing'off before
going to bed at night all the cares
and anxieties of the day-9verythine
which can possible cause mental wear
and tear or deprive you Of rest.
