GET MARRIED, DRINK
WATER, EAT LITTLE IF
YOU WOULD STAY YOUNG

Madame Charlotte de Goliere Da-
venport, the noted Russian lecturer
on personal hygiene, addressed one
of the largest audiences that has ever
assembled in the San Carlos audi
forum, Tuesday evenin. Madame Da-
venport is one of the best known lee
turers in the whole country and she
has been received with the greatest
enthusiasm wherever she has appeared
and the Tuesday evening lecture was
no exception to the rule. Her adj
dress, while betraying a slight for
eign accent and peculiar turns OF
speech was nevertheless clear and
forceful. She was abundantly APP
plauded throughout the lecture, and
after the talk many expressed to
Madame Davenport, personally, their
appreciation.
The following are some of the rules
that the lecturer advised all to fol-
low:
To live on a diet consisting of meat
once a day, fresh vegetables, cereals
and considerable amount of fruit.
To eat temperately in proportion to
the amount of physical exercise taken
To avoid the excessive use of tea
coffee, alcohol and tobacco.
To be as much as possible out in
the open air, take sun baths, daily
walks and always breathe deeply.
To get married. Look up the sta
tistics of longevity, she said, and
notice the difference in the mortality
of married and unmarried people.
To go to bed early and rise early
Take not less than six and half
hours and not more than eight and q
half hours sleep each night. SLEEP
in a well ventilated room with all ven
tilators wide open.
To drink a quart and half OF
pure "soft'' water daily, about a
half glass at a time. Pensacola has
good water, drink plenty of it.
Madame Davenport says: Human
life is what we collectively and indi-
vidually make it. Every community
and individual has the option of q
happy long life or a short and mis-
cradle one.
