IF YOU WOULD KEEP YOUNG
Throw OF Mental Anxiety and Be
Careful to Avoid Excuses Of
All Kinds.

Good sound advice is given evident
ly by one who knows. You see. the ef-

phasi:ed. The physical will take care
Of itself. Keep in the sunlight; moth.
ing beautiful or sweet grows or ripens

Avoid fear in all it's varied forms

my OF the human race. Avoid excuses
of all kinds; they are injurious. The
long life must be a temperate. regular
life.
Don't live to eat. but eat to live.
Many of our ills are due to oyer-eat-
ing, to eating the wrong things and
to irregular eating.
Don't allow yourself to think ON
your birthday that you are year
older and so much nearer the end.
Never look on the dark side; take
sunny views Of everything: a sunny
thought drives away the shadows.
Be child; live simply and natural

Cultivate the spirit Of contentment;

DINING OUT WITH FRIENDS
How a Boarding House Romance Be-

got so tired of being called poor
thing because she received no invi-
tations and had to eat all her meals
at the boarding house table that she
took to eating alone once In awhile at

tact, says a writer In the Century.

proud OF our freedom, too, when We
travel, glorying in It. boasting OF per-

our national existence. demanding.

many social traditions abroad that
our less-favored sisters on the other
side regard us with awe and envy.

ment's printed form Of declaration.

the law. Some of US cannot under
stand it. We tremble; our hearts
beat. We have consultations with
friends and strangers. Blood curdling
stories are told. We can think of
nothing else, talk of nothing else
Where have we packed our new
things, where our old? VIII they dig
out everything? WIN they believe
us? Those little presents we have
brought mare they presents until
we have declared them? And so on,
and so on, until our last days become
nightmare compared with which

there any man to protect us with any
of those liberal Interpretations
which stand most of us in stead. We
must go through the ordeal as we 60
