LONDON, Dec. 15.-Do single peo- pie Eve longer than married?
 Two of Britain's most famous doc tors - Bernard Hollander, the re- nowned alienst and Sir Bruce Port CT, head of the Army Medical Ser vice have just been discussing this question in public, and in both cases their answer is strong mega tive.
 Both begin by dismissing the sub ject of unhappy marriages, which, from their experience, they are in clined to view as an almost negli- gible percentage
 'I treat the matter from a home ly, human point of view" says Dr. Hollander Married life, first and foremost, conduces to comfort; 1t conduces to regular habits in sleep ing and feeding; it promotes public morality. hygienic conditions and eliminates tine risks attendant on promiscuous social indulgence.
 "The bachelor is apt to become careless with regard to his health. But the wife makes It her first care to watch over her husbands health, and once a man is married he, too, takes greater care of himself that he may not fail in his duty to those toward whom he has responsiblli- ties.
 Home Life Best
 Home life is one of the greatest ingredients of health. What mar ried man does not look back with loathing to the interminable success sion of meals taken in restaurants? What thought did he give to his diet?
 Mot only physically, but also mentally, is this wifely companion ship boon Are not most elderly bachelors and spinsters, too, un- happy? Very few bachelors of my acquaintance who have passed the age of fifty can honestly say that they are completely happy.
 My married friends of the same age, on the other hand, are mostly in full enjoyment of life, kept healthy and contented by their fam fly interests"
 "Celibacy, to me, is new pre- scription for old ago. says SIT Bruce Porter.
 q have met men who attributed their longevity to beer; others to teetotalism, others to cold baths; but this is the first time that have ever heard any suggestion that bachelorhood led to> old age.
 'Day by day, with .scalpel and mi croscope, we explore that strange and still uncharted continent, the human being. More and more, as our pilgrimage advances, do we realize the mingling of mind and matter.
 ssAnd marriage is a mental up heaval far greater than physical one.
 'It follows that the married man is a different being from the bache- Tor. He has a different mind, diff ferent interests, and this mental at. mosphere reacts on his physical being. & @Sa. a~
 Married Man "Younger"
 "The married man of forty is not only more, likely to live longer than a bachelor of the same age, but he is younger in himself. The great secret, of course, lies in his chil- dren. N g
 Man, containing two germs on their way through the ages, the germ of mind and the germ of the body, should pass these on as his motif.
 After middle age he lives great deal in the future.
 "When he has children and can see in them the next links in the chain there is much joy in life in helping to make these links strong so that they in turn shall keep the chain unbroken. The bachelor must have the feeling of regret that in his case the motif does not run and, with him, the chain ends.
 Youth begets youth as sure as sunshine breeds health. Age is a question of environment.
 Love is a great factor in health The average old bachelor is the sad dest thing in life. Curled up in his chair, forlorn, disconsolate, he is a derelict, with no star by which to set his course.
