And here are Juan Vargas's rules of
right living: Eat what you want, when
you want it, and as much as you want;
better little too much than much too
little. Drink strong drink in moderation.
Mezcal and tequila, If not drunk to ex-
cess, will cleanse your system, very
necessary operation. Smoke all you want;
have smoked and inhaled ever since
my tenth year. Sleep whenever you feel
like it and as long as you want. Ma
ture will tell when you have slept enough.
During the day live in the open air, but
remain indoors of nights. for the exhala-
lions of the soil are poisonous. Work as
hard as you can and keep working; it
makes you frget that time is going on.
But work more with your body than with
your BRAIN You must have good body
before you can have a good brain. Think
that you will live to be very old. Don't
worry about death, it will get you wheth-
er you worry about it or not. | have al
ways thought from 20 to 80 was the
prime of my life and that of any other

do so, but be sure to take long sleep

hearty meal I have drunk over 100000
gallons of water; it is the very best
thing a man can do to keep in good
health. I have never taken medicines.
For wounds. of course, we need surgery,
bur for other complaints, right living and
the ways of nature are the best cure
Have some sort of religion. Even the
belief of the Buddhist or the old Attic Is
