THE SECRET TO LONGEVITY
We are asked almost daily how we
manage to retain our good health and
apparent youth to the good old age of
SS years. We have n0particular for
mula for extending life, but think it is
more the goodness of God than any
effort of ours. We recognize the law
that gives the life of man to be three
score years and ten, 20 years: but for
cause may be extended. We always
have taken good care of ourselves;
have lived temperate, having been a
member of every temperance organiza-
ton from The Washingtonians, way
back in the forties down to the Good
Templars, so you see that excluded
Intoxicating liquor from our use. We
neither smoke nor chew tobacco and
for many years, just before retiring
at night, we drink bowl of hot lemon
ade ard go to bed, and sleep soundly
as an innocent babe. We have never
had rheumatic pain, and while 1T may
not be from our way of living it is GER
tainly worth trial. We divide our
time into three equal parts, going to
bed at ten in the evening and rising at
seven in the morning and attend to
business the balance OF the day. We
married at twenty years of age, raised
ten children and they are now all liv-
ing. This is our life, good or bad as
it may be, and worthy of trial, try it.
Remember we do not say this manner
of living will prolong your life but we
do say we have tried it and here we are
at SO years old, we'll and hearty and
willing to try it forty years longer
