Of the genuine interest that DR..
Chrales Barker has created in Lewis
town than the fact that with the tenn
perature at 25 degrees below zero the
! Presbyterian church was crowded to
he doors last evening to hear him give
his famous lecure: How to Live n
! Hundred Years" And If theyc are not
all centenarians il won't be his fault
because he instructed them explicitly.
He stated that in his experiences of
giving this lecture during the past two
| and one half years he had perhaps been
| brought in contact with more people
nearing the hundred year mark than
other on because every community,
made II point to have their citizens
over 30 years met him personally. On
questioning them it was exceptional
when he did not find that they had
| followed III some way or other the
very cOurses that he advocates, espe
jcially elimination or aneai from the
diet dry frictional rubbing OF the skin
and above all u total abstinence from
worry,
| Pure Blood the Basis.
| The lecture last evening was ex.
ceedingly practical, giving the most ef-
| fective methods, as Dr. Barker has
found, for the prevention OF disease
and the prolongation of life. The
greatest men of science in the past
Is years have agreed, he maintain ins
that impurlty Of the blood il the cause

Ievery individual who desires good
health, to get his blood into condition
This can be done through the func
tions of four organs, especially the
lungs. the skin, the intestines and the
kidneys
The lungs are supposed to inhale
all the Oxygen that the body requires
and exhale he carbon di-oxide which
is poisonous to the system. II the
lungs are prevented for reasons OF
minimum expansion to perform their
functions, they should be trained
through form OF breathing exercises
The skin is composed of millions OF
minute pores which should excrett
bodily wastes in the form OF prespra

them to throw Off wastes aud poisons
The intestines are perhaps the most
important OF all in their functional re
