HOW TO LIVE LONG
Debts of Youth Sure to Fall Due in
Later Years.


Washington, Oct 6.-The United
State Public Health Service and the
various health agencies Of this coun-
try are working to prolong the aver
age duration of life. In this they
are obeying the desire for existence
which is the strongest instinct OF
mankind. Only a small proportion of
the human race rounds out its tour
of duty on this earth. Some people
are born with good bodies which
they treat well. Barring accidents
they live a long time. Some people
are born with poor bodies which
they treat we'll Barring accidents
they can live to a ripe old age. Some
people are born with good bodies
which they treat badly and some peo-
pie are born with poor bodies which
they treat badly They don't last
long.
The term "old age" too frequently
is another name for the falling due
Of the debts of youth. Over-eating,
over-working, these are drafts on the
bank of Nature which sooner Or lat
err must he met. Sometimes the day
of reckoning can be put off little
bit. but Dame Nature will not be
wheedled out of her claim.
