Men Of 70 not Regarded - Old
Simple Lite and Longevity.
In Norfolk, England. there are
in every village individuals of
more than so years of age
and not infrequently one or two
over 80, and those of 20 and upward
are regarded as not even old. Many
farm laborers of 20 are quite hale and
hearty. working from early morning
up to five and six o'clock in the even
ing, and some are 50 vigorous as to
earn a full mans wages.
And the women in the country.
writes a correspondent, are more tena-
cious of life perhaps than are the men.
In one village personally known to me,
containing about 800 people, within
the past six months have died three
women of more than 80 years of age,
the Oldest of these being no less than
SO. In another Norfolk village with
inhabitants to the number of 400 there
live q man of IS. q woman Of 80,
woman of 80. a woman Of 81, and
several of both sexes over 80. In yet
another village there Is a blacksmith
aged So and the widow of a country
medical practitioner whose years
mount up to 90.
This longevity. of the Norfolk peas.
ant, comments the Lancet, has very
interesting pathological side to it. The
chief enemy of the farm laborer of the
eastern counties from the standpoint
of health is rheumatism. Not many
reach even middle age without having
been the victims of rheumatism, and
q large number are crippled In their
old age by this disease. But in spite
of this the average of longevity seems
to be very high. although as well as
rheumatism he has to contend with
the lack of adequate housing accom-
mediation and want of proper sanitary
arrangements. That to eat ,sparingly
of plain wholesome food, to be much
in the open air and to work sufficient.
ly to occupy the mind and to exercise
the body will enable a man to defy
more or less the evils of environment
would seem to be shown by the tough
ness of the Norfolk labOrer.

LEAD THE IDEAL SIMPLE LIFE.
Firms Devote Summer Months to En-

In Finland everybody lives the sim

out on islands, in the forests and al
ways somewhere near the water, for
everybody swims and bathes. Almost
all classes sleep and eat al fresco ut
this time Of year, and the town coun-
ellis of the towns in this progressive
and altogether delightful little country
provide public freplaces and public
bathing sheds In all places where the
