CAN LENGTHEN
LIFE FIFTEEN YEARS
Learning How to Live the secret, SAYS
Roosevelt COnsery alton Commission

Learning How to Live the secret, SAYS
Roosevelt Conserv alton Commission
State Board of Health Bulletin.
Fifteen years is the length of time
one may add to his life by applying
what is now known Of personal hy-
glene. This statement was made by
the Roosevelt Conservation commis-
sion in its report on national vitality.
The findings of the commission have
reversed the impressions of gene
ration ago that the average human
lifetime was a fixed allotment de.
creed by fate. It teaches now that
our own doom is variable thing and
that 1t is more or less in our power
to control.
Learning how to live is the secret
OF how one may add fifteen years to
his life. Individual hygiene, or the
hygiene of personal habits, according
to the commission, contains POSSIBLE
ties Of self Improvement far beyond
what ninety-nine persons out of a
hundred have ever realized. In other
words, only l per cent of people to-
day know how to live. The other 80
per cent are victims of improper liv-
ing habits and the customs of our
boosted civilization. They have not
learned to order their lives according
to their physical needs. They are con-
tent to tolerate bad air, bad food, i'm
perfect teeth, wrong posture, i'm
proper clothing, constipation, self
drugglng, alcoholism and other condi-
tons of the average life.
The SO per cent who have not
learned how to live, says the commits
sion, are responsible for the increase
OF Al per cent in the country's death
rate from wear and tear diseases in
twenty years. Wear and tear dis
eases are said to be the by-product
OF civilization, not that civilization is
all wrong but that people have not
yet learned to adjust their habits of
living to it's demands.

FAVORABLE REPORT
ON INSURANCE BILL
Bin Would Provide for Dependents
cf Men in Service

Bill Would Provide for Dependents
cf Men in Service
Washington Dispatch, Aug ~.
The administration soldiers ana
sailors insurance bill, designed as
substitute in the future for the pres
ent pension system, was acted upon
fayorably today by a House commit
tee.
Representative Parker Of New Jer-
sey, cast the only vote against re-
porting the measure. He was oppos-
ed to the optional insurance feature
expressing the view advanced by the
private insurance companies that 1t
would cost tremendous sum Of mon
ey and could not be administered
fairly.
The principal change made in the
bill by the committee was the reduc
ton of the maximum amount OF OPP
tional insurance man may take
from $4,000 to $4,000. Another
amendment adopted provides that the
allowance of a widow shall automat-
ically cease upon remarriage.
Chairman Adamson said tonight
tie bill would be reported tomorrow.
He is confident of passage in the
House but anticipates strenuous OPP
position from the insurance compan-
les and from the pension committees
of both houses.
The bill would provide for depend
erts IF men in the service, compen-
safe for death and disability; option
al insurance for officers and enlist
ed man, ard educational and vocation
al training for honorably discharg-
ed men. Administration costs for
the first and second years of the
war are estimated at $176,0O0,O00
and $38O,O0O,OO0 respectively.
Proposed allotments for dependents
of men in the service would range
from S. a month to $50, according to
the number of dependents and their
relationship to the man in service. A
dependent wife with no children
would receive SIS a month, with one
child, S25; two children, $3.50, and
for each additional child SIS. Upon
death resulting from injuries the
widow would receive from $50 to
5000 a month. Similar provisions are
made for disabilities incurred in the
service would range from $40 to $500
a month.
