Bertillon, of Paris, has started
a worldwide discussion by his
advice to "marry if you want
to live to a good old age" "a
marie d nan or woman has,"

the average mortality among
widowers is greater than the
the average among married
men, so he recommends that
they marry, provided they are
under go years of age.
The married live longer
than the single for the reason
that as a rule they lead more
regular lives. Unmarried men
often indulge in late hours and
amusements which impair their
health, while the married are
