Whereas, The interests of the great

If you would increase your happi-
ness and prolong your life, forget your
neighbours faults. Forget the SANDER
you have heard. Forget the tempta-
ton. Forget the peculiarities and
fauIt-finding of your friends and only
remember their good points.
When you retire for the night, you
are not to ask yourself whether the
day has been a good day or a bad
day. You are not to review the past
or look forward into the future. You
should empty your mind of all con-
scious thought.
If you wish for health and happiness
In old age. regulate your mind and
body according to the rules of sweet
reasonableness and eat and drink
about one-haIf of what you could eat
and drink.
The whole secret of remaining
young In spite of years is to cherish
