Olympic committee, returned from
Paris July 3, on the Mauretania. He
was a delegate to the congress which
sat in Paris from June 13 to June 2S

Rugby football will be a new feature

gardly Man was stretched out on the

PROLONGING LIFE.

frercS the benefit of confession on
the subject Of how to proIong life and

reclaimed himself from the grave.
Four years ago Tillman obituaries

Unless present signs fail, they viii
not have to be used for many years to

Wherefore the Tillman formula
should caIlenge the interested study OF

The four things" declares Senator
Tillman, which l believe have con-
tributcd most to my restoration to
health are. First-a careful diet; Sec
ond-deep breathing; third-physical
culture exercises; fourth-drinMng hot
water"
He advises his colleagues to drink
water heated to temperature of 100
de-rccs-and he advises them TO drink
at least three quarts a day.
As for the physical culture" the
senator gives his colleagues and the
| country the benefit of one specific for-
mula, as follows:
Before rising i'm the morning re-
move the pillows from under the head
and lie Hat on the back Draw deer
breaths and begin 10y rising the legs
