to Keep
Husky

T IL a sorry publication nova
days that does not treat its
readers regularly to sets of
rules which will insure them a
long life. It is true that the
rules of one publication seldom
jibe with those Of any other
publication, but a reader is SUD-
posed to be discriminating and
able to pick the right dope.
There are q few standard
rules, however, which have been
prepared by Professor WILDER
force jerks, who holds down the
chair Of sophistry at Hokum
College. He has formulated ten
cardinal rules which he CLEANED
from all publications, combining
them cunningly so that they may
do the least good to the smallest
number:
Take a twenty mile walk
every morning after breakfast.
Those who are obliged to be at
the office at 8 a. m. will find this
hint Of great benefit to them.
2.-When you return homo at
night, tagged out with your days
labors, you will find it very re-
freshing to swing the Indian
clubs for one hour and then use
a rowing machine for forty
minutes. One hundred pound
weighta also should be lifted, two
at time, forty times.
S.-To avoid tuberculosis,
sleep with every window open in
cold or damp weather and con-
tract pneumonia.
don't court nervous pros
tration by drinking tea or coffee.
Drink water and get typhoid
fever.
6-Don't kiss your wife for it
may shorten both your lives, un-
less perhaps you both want them
shortened.
6.-Take a siesta for two
hours every day after lunch, even
if you have to give up your Job
to do It.
Don't be a decrepit old
man at ninety for lack Of ex-
ercise. Join a physical torture
class, run twenty miles a day and
die ut thirty of angina pectoris.
s.-Don': eat anything you
like, for any health food concern
will tell you it Is not good for
you.
Don't smoke tobacco. If
you buy some Of the brands they
are selling now you won't.
10.-Avoid overeating. You
can very easily manage this by
adopting magazine writing as a
profession.
Follow all these instructions
and, provided you are not taken
sick, run over, drowned, struck
by lightning, caught in a tornado,
poisoned by canned goods or
caught In some other mans hen
coop, you may live to be q
hundred, and then, again, you
may not.
