WHAT TO DO FOR LONG LIFE
Man Of Seventy Willing to Adopt Any
Plan, If He Can Be Assured Il
Is Right One.

! am seventy today" said Mr.. Sill
vergray, but still hale and hearty and
naturally DESTROYS of living as long as
can. If there were any known, def.
mite way by which life could be greatly
extended think | should have the
grit or, the common sense, or both, to
follow that course.
"But as far as my knowledge goes
there is no such absolutely definite
course to follow. The people who live
to be very old say ninety-five, one hun
dred, one hundred and FIVE and around
those figures, appear to have led an
sorts of lives.
Zone man has always taken his
toddy, another is teetotaller. One
man has smoked his head off for 81
years, another hasn't smoked since he
was ninety-two. One man has always
led an easy life, keeping himself az
comfortable as possible, never worry
ing and doing very little work, another
man has been chopping cordwood since
the day he was able to swing an ak,
and he can fell a tree with the best
Of them now.
"One man has always been very
careful about his diet, another has
lived, as he still does, on pork and
cabbage. There doesn't really seem
to be any definite scheme that has
been followed by all of these old chaps,
but each one seems to have lived any
| way 1t happened.
That is to me rather confusing. l
am myself systematic, orderly per-
son, and like to have a plan and
follow it. But would dreadfully hate
to make mistake
I enjoy life enormously, and I'd
hate like all gitout to adopt plan to
sprolong my life and then find after
had got along piece that had
made blunder and really shortened
it.
Would it be best for me to start
chopping cordwood right away, or
should from now on take life easy /?
Would. pork and cabbage be the
proper diet in my case, or should ]
now start living on toast and tea? !
really don't know of all these various
ways which one to adopt 1 wish
that somebody would come along with
a real workable plan for prolonging
life, something that would be suitable
and easy to follow for the average
man, for a man, for instance, like
| me-"
