Longevity.

DR.. Jacques Bertillol of Paris has
started a worldwide discussion by his
advice to marry If you want to live to
a good old age" "a married man or
woman has" he says, thrice as much
chance for good long run of life as a
bachelor or spinster. This eminent
authority on the sexes also shows by
statistics that the average mortality
among wfdowers is greater; than the
average among married men. so he
recommends that they marry, provided
they are under 60 years of age.
; The married live longer than the
single for, the. reason. that, as a rule,
they lead more regular lives. Unmar-
ried men often indulge in late hours
and amusements which impair their
health, while the married are living
generally nearer to the laws of health
and conserving their mental, and
physical powers so that longer life is
sure to be their lot. s 1t does not re-
qdire statistics to prove this. In every
community there are enough married
couples to demonstrate that DR.. Ber-
tillOn's observations and: deductions
are well founded. -
