Thin Persons Live Longest.
From London ideas.


Recent Investigations show that the
longest life and best health are not to
be found among those of average build
at any particular age. On the contrary,
1t is discovered that in those at the
younger age who are slightly over
weight and at the older ages among
those who are distinctly under weight
the longest life and best health will be
found.
Overweight is. above 3O-odd years. a
definite disadvantage to health. 1t
means staleness, lack of elasticity.
c~logged-up tissues and lack of the
power OF a~daDtability to invading
germs.
Men from 20 to "a can be accented
as healthy and for a long life so to go

weight is permissible between 25 and so
and increasingly less as you go up.
There are one-third more deaths among
men between 65 and so who are "a
pounds to 60 pounds fatter than thew
should be for a given height.
At the ages of "a to 45 from AZ
