than the turtle or other modern reptiles Judging from
the physical structure Of his remains WITH Il tiny

ura,,c shadows and took in daily IN uncarnci mere

simply stretching his long neck or rising on ms stu

OF the long and simple lie that has ever existed; but
his life was narrow.
So far as known TO the writer, no fossil remains OF
philo,,phcrs lor Supreme Court Judges have been
found IN the lurassic; SO that contcmporncous COM

Yet from these animal documents We may draw the
lesson that mere length of life is not the s0nmhm bonhm

Influence Of Heredity

II planning for long life rather in planning to live
well the first step should be an examination Of your
ancestry.

plcxv or some other dogcncratiyc strain among his
forcbcars TO get into blue funk and continually look
for the handwriting on the wall. Such man simply
needs to realize his limitations What would be liberty
for the well endowed may be license for him; and yet
there is no family history bad that need debar the

Diet and Exercise

IN early life an excess OF nutrition IS well borne; uut
as physical activities and there is less need Tor

grows apace The result steady departure from The
Droper balance Of waste and repair Depending on The
amount Of exercise taken the supply OF food should be
cut down after forty years of age, and the proportion
Of meat in the dietary decidedly reduced. Meat IS
seldom required more than once day except by The
poorly nourishcd or consunptve and after forty that
should be the limit

No matter how "chesty" YOU may feel about Your

BODILY Conserva ton and Discipline

Bodily Conserva ton and Discipline
THE instinct of modern intelligence is against waste
This principle is being applied with increasing rigor
in matters of business and government; but in the
matters that most deeply affect our happiness and sue
cess in le-our bodily resources and expenditure
the systematic conservation and scientific development
Of efficiency are still woefuly neglected
How can one best utilize the resources now available
for the development and improvement Of the natural
defenses of the body:
The answer should be obvious. Dig up your family

of cancer or a broken down heart or kidney, 60 TO a
more progressive man. who IS alive to modern ideas in
medicine DO not require minute information and fix
vour mind on the workings Of your body; but put the
responsibility your doctor, and insist upon knowing
the things that will nure you, and those which will
specially benefit and strengthen you.
This is the simplest way to get IN tine right path; and
the best way to keep there is to have your body pcrC
calv inspected just as it is customary to inspect well
ordered business institution Good habits are easily
formed and when established life becomes a con
iition of moving equilibrium, free from ussy anxiety
and uncertainty regarding what to eat, drink and do
If your family history sound your doctor will tell YOU
that a combination of sound stock and sane living is
well nigh invncble and will put you well forward in
the race, instead OF among the also rams. If your
family history is "Spotty, he will tell YOU 10 keep of

This means cutivating self control, not only Of ap-
pces but of emotions The toxin Of fatigue has been
dcnonstrated but the poSons generated by evil temper
and emotional excess over nOncSScntals have not Vet
been determined although without a doubt they exist
Explosions Of temper, emotional cyclones, and needless
fear and panic over disease or misfortune that seldom
matcrializes, are simply bad cell habits. By proper
ventilation and illumination of the mind it is possible
70 cultivate tolerance, pose, and real courage without
being "lobster7 a "bromdc.'
The man whose daily work interests him is specially
fortunate His only risk is that of being led into cx,

Contrariwsc, the man whose work monotonous and

ing the poison of discomfort, an effort should be made
