OF course there is no recipe for living
hundred years. What we mean, in
sober and careful language, is how TO
keep the body machine in such good con-
dition that, barring accidents, we shall
round out our appointed term of life
in health and vigor.
To accomplish this there Is nothing new
to suggest, either In nostrum or health
program; but we need TO be reminded OF
those established rules that are the re-
suit of universal experience, and of the
application of intelligence to life. Hence.
observe the following
Eat intelligently. Learn the nutritive
values of foods. Eat what you need.
Let the diet be simple Avoid safety;
quit eating before you are stated. Chew
well.
Drink only pure water Water con-
tanning certain salts and minerals May
be beneficia ask your physician. Drink
"a plenty. Water is mans greatest friend
in nature
Keep clean Battle regularly.
Sweat often If you cannot afford
Turkish baths get bath cabinet of your
own, or make one, and perspire freely
az least once "a week. Thoro perspiration
is the salvation Of the kidneys.
Take regularly uo alcohol in any form
There is no use in opening this subject
again. The regular drinker of alcoholic
beverages is a foolish person. lie is pur-
chasing pleasant glow at the expense
u inviting a hundred disorders.
Be out Of doors as much as you can.
Fresh air, sunshine, and water are ma
lures three cure-alls Sleep with your
windows open summer and winter.
Exercise systematically. Modern life
Is as rale so routined that the muscles
and organs of the body are not harmoni-
ously developed. There are many books
and teachers OF exercise but the prin-
clp.es are few, and usually the same in
All systems. IL rs regular, not occasional
and violent, exercise that counts.
Avoid constipation, one Of the most
prolific sources of bodily arrangement
Take the matter up seriously with your
physician.
Avoid excuses Of any kind. Be tenn
perate IN all things.

Don't give way to regrets for the past,
