HOW TO BE HEALTHY.

The following ten rules, says a
French medical authority, must be OBJ
served by all who want to be healthy:
/. Rise early, retire early, and fill
your day with work.
Q Water and bread maintain life;
pure air and sunshine are indispensa-
BILE to health.
8 Frugality and sobriety form the
best elixir of longevity.
4 Cleanliness prevents rust; the
best cared-for machines last the long
est.
). Enough sleep repairs waste and
strengthens; too much sleep softens
and enfeebles.
s. To be sensibly dressed is to give
freedom 10 ones movements and
enough warmth TO be protected from
sudden changes of temperature
Z. A clean and cheerful house makes
a happy home.
s. The mind is refreshed and in.
yigoIated by distractions and amuse.
ment. but abuse of them leads to dis.
sipation, and dissipation to vice.
2. Cheerfulness makes love of life,
and love of life is half of health. On
the contrary, sadness and discourage
ment hasten old age.
10. DO you gain your living by your
intellect? Then do not allow your
arms and legs to grow stiff Do you
earn your bread by your pickax? Do
not forget To cultivate your mind and
10 enlarge your thought.
