well, what better describes it than that
simple word itself?
So many of our most expressive
words seem similarly to have sprung
from a desire to form with the lips a
sound mimicking the thing described.
Why waste words on definition of
the word splash" for example? You
hear all the abrupt, restless heaving of
the waters in that one word.
And does even a baby need to be
told what buzz" means when blue

words. London Answers.

but most OF US would rather live sixty
years and enjoy ourselves than I'd be,
come centenarians on q sour milk diet.
But there's a way OF keeping young
and growing younger that is really fun
after you once take the plunge.
To BE young nj! you've got to do
is to FEEL young,
To FEEL young all you've got to do
is TO do the things the young men are
doing-to ACT young.
What are the. young men in your
town doing? You'll neve. find out II
you don't get out and mix with them,
and once you begin mixing with them
you'll catch the contagion oil their en-
thusiasm, and the first thing YOU know
you'll find yourself taking hold and
helping in what they are doing-ACTr
ING young-and you'll be surprised to
find yourself FEELING young again.
You'll feel young because you'll be
interested in what is going on today
and what is going to happen tomor-
row. The only difference between an
old man and young man Is that the
old may gets the habit of being more
interested in day before yesterday
than in next week.
What are YOU interested in? That's
the real test as to whether you are
growing old or not. Sit down with
yourself this evening and think it
over. If you find. on reflection. that
the things that happened :: year ago,
five, twenty, forty years ago, are the
things uppermost in your thoughts
YOU'RE GETTING OLD:
YOU'RE GETTING OLD.
Get over it! Forget II! Get out
with the young fellows! De a live
.one! An old mana man who FEELS
old-is Of no Use 10 his town, Of less
use 10 his family and of absolutely no
use 10 himself.
There's always something to do for
q man who feels young.
The young men OF your Town are try
ing to do something for the town. You
know this old town. and 1t needs lot
better than any OF these young whip.
.per.snappers do-at least you think so.
1t would surprise you 10 find how
many things they are doing that you
never heard OF and how glad they'll be
10 have your help. You'll find men
who've lived as long as yon have who
are twenty years younger Just because
they've kept their THOUGHTS young.
They are thinking OF tomorrow instead
of yesterday.
YOU may not have many more TO-
morrows. But this town Of yours, this
community that you helped build, that
has given you all you have. will have
an infinite number d tomomows. 2
Do your share toward making those
tomorrows betterthan all the yester-
days that have gone before. You can
keep young that way.
