New York. May "a physically re-
Juvenated and mentally rehsbllitsted
person is Mr.. Norman selby. better
known as kid Mccoy when he wa, a
prize fighter. cafe proprietor and shin
ing star in the White Light district. He
is now taking himself and life in general
quite seriously
When I met him the other day for the
first time in several years. I found him
slender. tall. lean, cIesn-cut young man
who looked to be about thirty. In real
ity he is about thirty-eight.
What have you done? How did you
do it, And what are you dolng7" I
asked
Il took tumble to myself few years
ago" he replied. and thought would
investigate this question OF HvinE. So
I began 10 study human anatomy and
became very much interested in Il
found wasn't living the right way at
| all II I wanted TO live long. Then
| became convinced that Christian Scsenca
was good thing and now I an firm
| believer in IL. For the last two wears
have been studying aviation. and I am
going 70 make that my exclusive occu-
/ patton. Right now am ARRANGING 90
Join the United States aviation CORDS Il
seems 10 me that men are needed in
/ that more than in any other line in our
| preparedness program
! II my plans work out right, hone
to be able to be the first man TO rv
across the Atlantic Ocean A tranS-At-
lanuc flight is bound 10 come in the near
| future As soon as this war is over
those European airmen will be nyinE
over here in droves. They are too busy
with their military duties TO think OF the
commercial end Of aviation just now
or some OF them would surely have
crossed the ocean before this
Physically ! never felt in better shane
IN my life and it's all due 70 those years
l devoted to studying my own body.
found that diet and exercise and p-or-
er breathing will DO wonders for a man
who has begun TO get stale, as I had.
and who was beginning 70 grow old
rapidly
Eat Only II Hungry.
For instance. take some sort OF
exercise for al least an hour every dsv
and I never eat unless I am hungry.
don't sit down 10 a meal Just because
it Is mealtirne- Not a bit Of il The re-
suit II that I have no regular hours for
meals and eat very little. I believe that
overeating it the cause Of more illness
and breaking down than anything else
Also don't worry. II is the easiest thing
in the world to worry yourself sick
I know II seems almost incredible
but l can easily prove II, that in the
last three years I have added an inch
to my height. added four inches to nv
chest measure and reduced my waist
measurement by six inches. 7 don's sup
pose that I have actually grown taller.
Tor suppose I stopped growing some
wears ago. but snyWay an now six feet.
while used to be five feet eleven Prob
ably my bones are set up strsighter and
mat gives me the added height Every
body says that I look ten years Young
er. and know 7 feel that way
I drink as little as I eat. although I
am not on the water wagon by any means
and take 6 drink whenever 7 think 7
need Il or really want Il. But Of course,
don't sit down and drink lust for the
sake OF drinking. as many men DO. The
simplest food IS the only kind 7 eat and
the habit has become so strong now that
no other sort appeals to me.
I caught myself before II was too
late, and you may be sure I am mighty
glad I spent all that time IN study. 1t
has already paid me a hundred times
over"
why Not Eat Bus.r
As Mr. Selby eats very little meat and
Goes not care for II anyway he is rot al
all in sympathy with Dr. I. O. Howard
Of the Department OF Agriculture. who
| says there is no reason why people
should not eat bugs except that thew
don't DO so. This statement was brought
out from Dr.. Howard in the cours. q
q discussion as TO what hungry humans
we're going 10 do il the food supply con
tinued TO decrea Sc A number Of SCI
entists who were present al the discus
sion in the Cosmos Club IN Washington
declared that insect broth was very sp-
petizing. White-grub salad and steved
ants on toast and beetles baked in the
shell are doubtless some Of the dishes OF
the future that Dr. Howard Will recon-
/ mend
Mr.. William Albech has been having
troubles OF his own He was horn IN
England and he wanted 10 90 to his
native country, but the steamship lines
would not take him. They said that with
that name he would be sure TO be ar
rested and put in a detention amp
the minute he landed In England
! Mr.. Albech offered to let the lire waive
all responsibility II they would carry
him across. Nothing doing But finally
he persuaded them TO make inquiries in
England TO establish HIS claim to Ems
Nsh parentage and locate his family
there. So they asked him a lot Of ques-
tons as to the date Of his birth and so

And where do YOU live now, Mr. A.

thinking.
And then It was all Of. They almost
