Rules for a Long Life


 Hawthorne Daniel, in the Worlds Work There is no panacea that will bring long life to every user. What is one mans meat is another mans poison" But few rules are applicable to every one:
 Be moderate in everything. Excess in eating, in drinking, fin anything tends to bring on old age.
 Be faithful in your exercise, and be sure to choose an exercise that is helpful.
 Stand and sit erect, and use your lungs. Keep your teeth and gums and throat clean. The mouth is the principal port of entry for undesirable immigrant mil cro-organisms.
 functions. The digestive tract is a fa- vorite abiding place for hordes of ma rauding bacteria
 Have your body occasionally examined. The physician will take notice of what is wrong, and will advise you accordingly. And let him do the worrying. Fortu- nately the exact condition of the organs of the body can usually be seen by phy- sicians even when they are but slightly off normal.
 Be happy. Do not worry; do not allow yourself to become a grouch: do not "get mad." Remember that psychologists now contend that you do not clench your hands because you are angry. You are angry because you clench your hands. So do not clench them. Act happy, and you will become so. Act young. and you will remain so.
