6 How to Acquire and Retain the Priceless Posses
i sion of Good Health 5
Occupation for the Aged.

Quain, In his Medical Dictionary, ar
bitrarily defines advanced life as the
period between sixty-two and eighty
two, and the time of old age beyond
that period. But the infirmities of
age are measured, not so much by
length of days as by the integrity of
the bodily functions, and the sound
ness of the organic structures.
The question, How much work is
normal and rational for each? must
be answered according to the past life
and present condition of each indi-
vidual old man or woman. For most
old people, however, there is no en-
ployment better than work in gar
den in which they have some CONNER
cial interest. Money, honestly earned
and wisely spent, promotes health.
The hoeing, wedding, trimming, gath
ering and marketing of the fruits and
vegetables or flowers; the open air
life, exercise in the sunshine among
growing things; the healthy stimulus
Of planning the work, studying and
talking to others of the best methods
of gardening-what is most profitable
to plant in that region, how the land
should be fertilized and where and
when to sell the products-all this
keeps the mind active.
Poultry raising and bee culture are
also employments well adapted for
those advanced in life who need to
make work remunerative.
The main points for the aged to
premature failure of strength, not by
increase of food and stimulants, as Is
often advised, but by cutting down
and simplifying the diet in proportion
to the decreased wear and tear of It's
sue, so that the intake will not exceed
| the output; to still maintain an inter-
est in current thought and activities,
and to select some occupation suited
to their physical strength and their
previous training and skill.
The secret of a healthy useful &C
| tive old age is to know how to wear
out life's waning energies normally,
not to exhaust them prematurely by
oYerwork or, worse still, waste them
by the rusting of needless inactivity.
There would seem to be little need
in old age of restitution and depend.

ing classes to plan for home in the

omy in the expenditure of money, and
rational investment in a home, the
old working man and woman would
find themselves with fund OF health
and strength equal to their day. and
when no longer able to compete with
a younger generation, they would
still have useful, remunerative occu
patton on their own premises.

Shut Your Mouth.

Shut your mouth. Breathe through
YOUR nose. Never allow yourself,
saws a medical writer, unless positive
" necessary, to breathe through your
mouth. The nose is made to breathe
through. 1t is provided with hairs to
sift the dust out of the air. 1t is pro-
yided with warming plates (turbinat-
ed bones) to temper the air 1t is
provided with apparatus for furnish
ing moisture to the air. All of this Is
quite essential before the air is drawn
into the lungs.
Breathe through the nose. Shut
YOUR mouth. Man is talking ami
NAL. He talks so much he forgets
how to breathe through his nose. In
singing. also, it is impossible not to
breathe through the mouth.
A good, brisk walk in the morning
compelling yourself to breathe
through the nose, is an excellent hy-
gienic practice At first it may be
difficult, but persist in doing so. Think
of it all day whatever you are doing.
Shut your mouth; breathe through
your nose. Keep thinking about it
until you have formed the habit. 1t
may require quite an effort at first.
Lazy people had better not try it..
Some people are too lazy to breathe
anyhow. They go around with their
mouth open, like fish. Keep your
mouth shut. Breathe through your
nose.
