women, boys and girls, for instance"
Insisting that there was no formula
for old age, he counseled moderation
in all things.
Don't ovcrwOrk," he said "Don't
everyday Don't overeat Most of all,
don't ovcrdrink.
Learn to smile"
The aged statesman said he had
given up many things. Thirty years
ago nervousness caused him to quit
tobacco; 20 years ago rheumatism
made him give up eating red meats;
three years ago he quit the only drink
to which he was accustomed-a little
champagne with his luncheon.

unmistakable clearness, the trend to-
ward better business continues. Uni

the present unevenness of conditions
is not surprising, as no different re-

Gains that have occurred in recent
months, if not extending in equal
measure to all lines of enterprise,
have been such as to give encourage
ment, and instances are becoming
more common where reports from
various sections carry note of OPP

conspicuous exceptions, disclose
steady renewal Of activity, and the
countrywide expansion of building
operations, which is evidenced by a
special survey Of the situation made
by Dun's Review, is a highly signlh-
cent development. A wholesome and
gratifying feature Is the fact that the
improvement in business has been

phases IN iron and steel, because Of
