TO KEEP YOUNG.

Keep in the sunlight. Nothing beauti-
full or sweet grows or ripens in the
darkness.
Avoid fear in ali its varied forms Of
expression; it is the greatest enemy Of
the human ace.
Avoid excuses of all kinds; they are
injurious. The long life must be a
temperate, regular life.
Don't allow yourself to think on
your birthday that you are Il 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.
Cultivate the spirit of contentment;
all discomfort and dissatisfaction bring
age burrows prematurely to the face.
Don't live to eat, but eat to live.
Many of our ills are due to o%vereating,
to eating the wrong things and to IL
regular eating.
Form IA habit of throwing Off before
goihs to bed at night all the cares and
anxieties of the day-eyerything which
can possibly cause mental wear and

investigation in New York because the
chief operations of the big trust are
conducted from that great commercial

corporation, there is only the Hudson
