A Great Deal of 1t in Few Words.


ing three or four in and other disComorts of
taxed accommodations
Some of it has been true.
The situation is gradually growing better but there
still crowded bedrooms here and there and too many
people breathing too little air.
On these colder nights closed windows add to the dan
gers from bad ventilation.
We offer to those who get up feeling groggy and dull the
advice of a woman who is worth listening to.
very great is Sarah Bernhardt, the wonderful
actress and wonderful old woman.
She talked reporter the other day and in less than
thirty gave advice that ought to be worth many times
thirty thousand dollars 1--WE figure everything in dollars
noWadays) to each reader.
This is what Bernhart says about her health her
derful power work. her ability to play the part Of
young woman although she grandmother and cripple
Read the words carefully Cut them out Think about them
'I always sleep well That is a great thing,
SLEEP I my lungs well, too That is
good thing. USE EVERY CELL IN THE
LUNGS
Sleep and fresh ar-plenty of rest and careful well
planned breathng-there you have the secret Of health
- Bernhardt like her predecessor-the great Rachel
and many of the worlds greatest actresses is Jewess
That fortunate thing for her health in ways than
one.
The Jews knew great deal about wise living in the
Dark Ages when Christians stufng themselves with
everything they could get their hands and Supplying
themselves with drink.
The Jew has learned moderation through the ages
only the wise surviving in the great ordeal Of two thou
sand years
And the Jew owes to kind nature welIdeveloped nos
sa facility for taking in great quantities Of fresh air
LARGELY THE WONDERFUL HEALTH OF THE JEW
IsH PEOPLE THEIR Low DEATH RATE AND GREAT
POWERS OF ENDURANCE.
If you make it your business to get REGULAR sleep
and you make your business Bernhardt says use
every cell In the lungs you will have solved the health
problem practically. You will solve it ABSOLUTELY if
you add to regular sleep and careful breathing slow and
careful EATING.
Go to bed early. Sleep less than eight hours be-
tween twenty-five and tfve years of age less than
seven hours between and seventy less than six
hours after seventy
People under twenty-five years of age should sleep
nine hours or mOre-UNTn THOROUGHLY RESTED
Children especially should never be dragged out of
bed Many stupid mother and father have actually muir
dered their children in the foolish idea that was their
duty to get them up early.
The great philosopher Descares would probably have
lied In early childhood but for the fact that his father and
The Jest whose schools he attended had enough to
give him plenty of sleep
And the poor old philosopher actually did die when he
foolishy allowed himself to be persuaded by Queen Chris
Ina of Sweden to give her lessons philosophy at o'clock
the morning He interrupted his sleep and killed himself
TO please his charming royal admirer.
AS for breathing, remember that the breath is the
ACTUAL LIFE The blood the life, said the wise man
But the BLOOD depends on the BREATH
You live the electricity in the air not on the food
you put In your body The food only like the grease on
the axle the paint the It makes up for waste
Tissue 4he acIua loTce Is In the athe force taken by
the red cousce in the blood through the lungs and car
Tied all through the body.
Every cell in your lungs is agent working for
strength if you keep constantly filed with fresh air. And
every one be made into disease spot you neglect it
Make breathing business
Stand the platforms of street going to and from
your work Breathe with your chin in the air. Lifting the
chin saightens the backbone and that in turn throws
ont the ribs making room for the lungs expand Take
breahs deep that you feel the expansion of vour
lungs way down in the small of your back
The careful breathing will be at first nuisance and
tnen habit
Once you have acquired The HABIT of taking at least
i've hundred good deep beath every day. you viii be able
70 laugh at the doctors.
