BEGIN To LIVE FOR LONG LIFE.

BEGIN To LIVE FOR LONG LIFE.
Long life is fast becoming of COM
mercial value to men and women.
There was a time when, after man
or woman passed the forty or fifty
year mark, they were set aside as on
the decline and their Judgment useless.
DR.. Osler, while addressing a body
of medical students before his depar
ture for Oxford, salC Men past sixty
years Of age should be chloroformed
as useless" While he did not say it,
presume he placed women at the
forty or fifty-yeer mark. His opinion
is too extreme for consideration and
yet he no doubt reached his deduction
from large corporations employing
young labor in positions of trust which
are not given to men on the decline.
We are also aware that ministers,
teachers, doctors and, in fact, all pro-
fessions of life are ignored as age ad-
vances. With few exceptions young
men take their places.
! True, this Is fulfilling a law OF ma
| ture, but it is just as true that the
beautifully mature life may be main
tanned for .reater number of years,
and it is worth the effort to attain il
as a race acquisition.
Why should men and women work
and acquire all the experience which
develops them into most able men and
women and then at fifty or sixty sit
calmly back and lose out by letting
others take their places without
mature and earned judgment? To pro
long life there are four things neces
sary:
First-Continue in some active worl
every day.
Second-Cultivate the desire fol
long life.
Third-Rea.ize the possibility of pro
longing life indefinitely and still b.
happy and well.
Fourth-The will and energy b,
right living must be aroused to liv,
each day for that purpose.
To reach perfection and maturit.
of life and then deliberately say, Il an
old and nearly through with life" whei
there is so much that is to be done b.
them in this world is slow suicide.
1t is everyones duty and privilege t
be young and free and enjoy life a
long as possible, for when they hav
reached this so-called maturity thei
work has just begun and they shoul
live longer to do greater good. l
other words, permit the mature life t
continue by long-life methods of ca
