at has been said that it is better to
be born lucky than rich," said DR..
George F. Butler, 'but it is in fact bet
ter to be born tough than either lucky
or rich. After forty eat less and elimi-
nate more. Drink more pure water and
keep the peristaltic wave of prosperity
constantly moving down the alimenta-
ry canal. Many people suffer from too
much business and not enough health.
When such is the case they had better
cut out business and society for a time
and come down to mush and milk and
first principles. Don't be foolish Eat
less and play more. Indulge in less fret
and fume and more fruit and fun.
There are people too indolent to be
healthy-literally too lazy to live. Work
your brains and keep in touch with
people. Do something for others and
forget yourselves. There is nothing so
inane and detrimental to mind and
health as the conversation of people on
their aches and pains and troubles
The froth of whipped eggs is a tonic
compared to it. All our appetites are
conditional. Enjoyment depends upon
the scarcity. A worker in any field
whose age is near either the shady or
sunny side of fifty should consider him

century of temperate. judicious work.
Let grandma wear bright ribbons and
gaudy gowns if the cOlOrs become her,
and let grandpa be as dudish as he
pleases. with fiashy neckties and cheer
full garb. Both will be younger for it,
and, besides, it is in harmony with ma
ture. Gray hair is hOnorable; that
which is dyed is an abomination be-
fore the Lord. Cultivate thankfulness
and cheerfulness. An ounce of good
cheer is worth a pound of melancholy"
