sUREsT TEST OF OLD AGE
Don't Look at Your Face for tho Signs
Of Times March-Watoh
tho Heart.

The dear little old lady was tust
as cross as she could bel
All because the old-fashioned con.
ductor had said: BE careful. Watch
out, grandma. Don't get OF the car
till It stops"
1t was probably the first time that
from the lips of q stranger came the
verdict that the world had begun to
look upon her as an old lady.
She must have known that her
shoulders were bit stooped-but old :?
No, not Just in the prime Of life, and
the very idea Of that man calling out:
Watch out, grandma"
But after all, what matters what the
conductor said? There Is q rumor Of
inner consciousness that should tell
one If one is growing old.
Don't look at your face to sec IL
age is creeping on. Watch the heart.
Beware Of allowing care to make
crows feet there
Oliver Wendell Holmes summed up
the philosophy of life when he said:
II am seventy years young today"
Every birthday should see ones heart
younger. The only way to keep from
growing old is to keep growing young.
The only time to begin growing young
is before one begins to grow old.
There are mental attitudes and limp
ing worse than those Of faltering
foot There are aches and pains
caused by self1shness and narrowness
much worse than those Of rheumatism.
Begin this moment to grow young.
