Health week is now becoming an
established institution in American
communities. A whole city enters
upon a crusade against disease, its
causes, and the evils that spring
from it. Press and pulpit and public
forum marshal their forces against
it. Exhibitions of all modern appll-
ances used in preventing and fighting
disease, and promoting good health
draw eager and curious and knoWl-
edge-seeking crowds. Health week
is great achievement All honor
to it's promoters.
Man has always been interested in
the problem of good health and the
prolongation of life. Good health,
besides being great blessing in it
self, is, barring accidents, the natural
way of prolonging life, and that is
the quest of all human beings-a
long life.
Just as disease very often has a
fatal elimination, and therefore pre-
maturely shortens life, SO does good
health, by economizing mans vital
ity, by the comfort, peace, and JOY it
furnishes, directly conduce to long
evity. Given good health throughout
life, and there is no reason why the
human organism should not retain
it's vital forces far beyond the limit
set by the Psalmist.
Long life-the universal human
desideratum. Why are people SO
anxious to prolong existence here on
earth? The simplest answer is to
say that it is the natural instinct of
all that lives to live on as long as
possible. But the reasonendowed
human being does not follow blind
instinct. With him it is a conscious,
rational desire.
First of ALL we wish to live long
because life is good, sweet, enjoy
able In spite of the multiform evils
that life sometimes brings us, the
good in life still predominates, and
in the midst of LIES troubles, hope
turns our gaze to the brighter day
that is sure to come We become at
tached to life because of it's intrinsic
goodness, because of the JOY of liv
ing.

HOW TO PROLONG LIFE
By DR.. S. N. Deinard.

Secondly, many of us wish to ex-
tend life's duration because of a de-
sire to finish the tasks we may be
engaged in, to round out our life's
work to bring our efforts to fruition
Every one of us is engaged in some
enterprise, in some favorite occupa-
ton, in the carrying out of some
cherished desire, or in the attain
ment of great ambition, wealth,
power, honor, fame, or a more mod
est one, security and independence in
life for ourselves and our dear ones.
We sometimes find that the average
life is too short for the accomplish
ment of our undertaking, for the ma
turing of all our plans. We need
more years, longer life for that
Thirdly, the desire to live long is
strengthened by our eagerness to see
and to experience the changes, the
improvements, the progress the
world will realize after certain
number of years. That is true of
those of us who are firmly convinced
of the worlds progress, who have
mistaken faith in it. Especially,
when we become aware of the
great advance the world has made
in the more recent past, we are
all the more anxious to see it's fur
Their advance, and the goal toward
which it is tending or at least the
direction it is following
These are our reasoned motives
that impel us to seek the prolonga-
ton of life. How can we have this
most cherished desire gratifed?
How must we live, and by what law
shall we regulate our life? We often
meet with old people, men who have
reached the century mark, or are rap
idly approaching it, and we ask their
recipe for long life They are eager
to give us the benefit of their knowl-
edge and experience, of their stored
up wisdom. But we often find the
advice, rules and precepts of one con-
tradicting those of another One
claims to have prolonged his life by
the use of the very things that an
other claims to have refrained from
to obtain the wished-for result. Both
may be right. They probably attach
too much Importance to trivial mat
tiers, mere incidentals and details,

suit of course of conduct of which
they have never given themselves
reasoned account.
The only infallible recipe for a
long life is the one given to us by our
great lawgiver in the exhortations
that form the epilog of his code.
"See, | have set before you this day
the life and the good, death and the
evil With the utmost stress he
repeatedly emphasizes his statement
that obedience to the law he has
given us is promotive of long life
for the individual and the nation. TO
many an important command he
adds the reason, which is the equiv
alent of a promise, that thy days
may be prolonged Obedience to,
and compliance with, the Law is re-
warded by God with the gift of long
life
There can be no question as to
what law is meant which is condu-

the law of morality. The moral law

acts, in all engagements, in all de-
