HOW TO KEEP
WELL
DR.. FREDERICK r. GREEN
Editor of "HEALTH"
OOCOOOOOOOOOO
-ta. 1875, western Newspaper Union.,
A SUCCESSFUL MANS
RULE FOR SUCCESS

EVERY normal person wants to I've
T. a long. healthy and successful life.
No one knows how TO write a formula
for longevity. health or success. So
we naturally turn TO those mel and
women who have achieved all Of these
things and ask them how they have
secured them. That's the reason why
the first question q newspaper re-
porter asks a very old man, q very
healthy man or a markedly successful
man is ITO what do you attribute your
success" When one man has been
successful in all three, his advice is
naturally all the more valuable.
Judge Ebert H. Gary is the presi-
dent of the United States Steel cor
poration. He is well up in the sew
enties." He is healthy, vigorous and
active. He carries great responsible
ties, yet lie works hard every day
Measured by all standards of every
day life he is a markedly successful
man. How has he done it?
A newspaper reporter asked him re-
Gently for his prescription. Here are
his rules:
/. Exercise in the open air every
day, bur moderately.
2. Breathe deeply as much pure air
as possible.
8. Leave alcoholic stimulants alone,
4. Drink pure water.
5. Eat little meat; red meat once a
week is enough.
6. Eat little starch, fat or sweet
Eat plenty of vegetables.
Z. Follow regular habits.
s. Get plenty of sleep.
9. Work hard, mentally and pays
ically.
10. Lead a good, clean life.
II. Keep an even temper and avoid
excitement.
u. Never get angry or Indulge in
controversy.
These are all good rules to follow.
They won't make us all as marked
successes as Judge Gary, because the
judge has left out the two most i'm
portant rules Of all. These are:
j. Have ancestors that will give you
a sound body and a clear mind.
2. Develop the mind and body given
you to their greatest possibilities.
We can't all be heads of great cor
porations. But we can all of US make
the best use possible of the physical
and mental equipment we have.

The United States Today Is, Above All Others,
a Railroading Nation
By c. H. MARKHAM. Prs.ident nIn0Is central system.

ET HIS year is the centennial Of the railroads. 1t was on Septem-
Der ~, 1925, that the Stockton g. Darlington railway in England
was thrown open to operation under al act that provided for
hauling of wagons and other carriages upon the line with men
or horses or otherwise" "Otherwise9 was the loophoe which allowed
George Stephenson, engineer of the road and an expenmenhr with steam
engines, to persuade his company to use a steam locomotive to haul Its
first train. That train, with its prophetic load of COAL -four and pas@n-
gers, moved at IN average rate of eight miles an hour.
Only a few years after the opening Of the worlds first railroad, IN
England, our own nation took up the novelty, with what result you all can
recognize today. Railroads, it seemed, we're exactly what the vast land
areas of this country needed. The United States today is above all others,
a railroading nation. The people of our country owe more to the rail-
roads than the people of most countries do, because the greater part Of
our existence and growth as an Independent nation has been coincldent
with the railway era. Today, with only about onesxteenth of the worlds
land area, we possess in this country approximately onethird of the total
railway mileage of the world, and our railroads lead those of all other
nations in the high quality and low cost of their service.
Our nation today is the richest and most advanced nation OF the
world. 1t has become so largely because it has enjoyed for nearly a cen
fury a form of transportation exeeHenty adapted to its great distances
and its vide variety Of products Because of cheap and efficient railway
transportation, available in all parts of the country, the products of all
regions today are to be obtained in every region. The products of every
region can be and are marketed in all regions. Passengers are moved
long distances with great rapidly.

AKING AND INVALID


Taking care of a sick person is
4 something more than giving medi-
cines and food according to the doc
tors orders. In any case of illness
lasting more than a few days the com
fort of the patient is an important fac
tor. A sick child, kept as comfortable
as possible in CHEEKY, attractive sur
%roundings, has a much better chance of
recovery and much more strength for
fighting the disease than a child thar
is restless and unhappy. In a recent
look on "Simplifed Nursing" Miss
Florence Dakin, Inspector of nursing
schools for New Jersey, wisely empha-
sizes the importance of making pa
tents comfortable.
The sick bed and the sick room, she
says, are the temporary home of the
Invalid. The more comfortable and
attractive they can be made, the bet
ter the chances of recovery of the sick
persons.
In hospitals, this is taken care OF
by those in charge. In private homes.
one must make the best use possible OF
such rooms a materials as are avail
able.
A sick room should be a moderately
large one, Well lighted, heated and ven
tilated and situated near the bath
room.
If possible, select a room with plain,
Iight-colored walls. Many invalids have
testified to the effect of having TO look
for weeks at walls with fantastic or
elaborate patterns in the paper. The
normal, healthy person can stand al
most any wall paper for a few hours
at a time. To the sick, irritable, per-
haps delirious patient, gazing for hours
and days at some complicated pattern
is firing and wearisome.
Take out all unnecessary furniture
This gives the nurse more room TO
work in, leaves fewer places for the
accumulation Of dust and makes II
easier to move the furniture in clean
ing.
Keep the room in order. Nothing is
so tiresome as to have to spend days
or weeks in a missy, disorderly ROOM
Take out the carpet or rugs Bare
floors are easier to keep clean. They
can be wiped up daily with a dam
cloth, without raising any dust to ans
turb the patient.
Turn the mattress frequently. Con-
lying on any mattress VIII
make it hard and lumpy. Turn i eno

every time the bed Is made up

Most .Extravagant Machine Ever Devised for the
Pleasure of Man
By WILLIAM AsHDowN, in AtIantie M0nthly.

Debt, debt, debt, for a costly article that depredates very rapidly
and has an Unsuitable appetite for money. To be sure, the money goes out
in small lots, but the toll is large if it be reckoned for a year, and this
the average man has not the courage to face; or facing it, he has not the
courage to quit. He must keep his car.
The avalanche of automobile owners is not a good omen. 1t signifies
that the people are living either up to their means or beyond them; that
the old margin of safety no longer obtains; that the expense account must
constantly increase. The race to Guido the other fellow is a mad race in
deed. The ease with which a car can be purchased on the time-payment
plan is all too easy a road to ruin.
The habit of thrift can never be acquired through 50 wasteful a
medium IS an automobile. Instead, the habit Of spending must be ac
CURED, for with the constant demand for fuel, oil and repairs, together
with the heavy depreciation, the automobile stands unique as the most
exHavagant piece of machinery ever devised for the pleasure Of man.

A Democracy Must Have Contented Citizens as
a Basis of Security
By pR. RAY L wILBUR LELAND stanford University.

The immigrations upon the Pacific coast of the Chinese and Japanese
were similar in origin and in effect to the immigrations on the Atlantic
coast. One great difference was that these immigrations brought with
them the question of race to which the Americans we're particularly sensi-
tive because Of their historical background. The instructive fear of race
mixtures must be understood by all who would appreciate the present
situation.
In this attitude of Americans towards race mixtures the question
of the inferiorty of one race or the superiority of another is not pi
marty involved. The attitude depends upon the fear of the birth of chill
1en and the development thereby of citizens who ri misplaced socially,
unhappy and inevitable sources of social dissatisfaction and discomfort
The understanding that a democracy must have contented citizens
as a basis Of security is an instinct developed by the people Of the United
States.

Germany's Three Calamities: Lost War, Coup
d Etat and Initiation Period
By PROF. ADOLF HARNACK, in Vienna Neue Freie Presse.

One who takes into consideration these three calamities the lost
war, the coup detat and the initiation period, will not wonder that the
soul and the body OF the German people should be grpped by a dire dis
ease, which finds expression in savage egosm, in a reprehensble passion
for gain, and in infringements upon laws and morals.
The German nation, the most industrious in the world, has never
ceased to work. 1t is working now also, and, what is more, it is working
twice as hard as before. It would work even still harder if its physical
health we're better, and if it could find a richer and wider field for its
toll As to the work done by our mental workers-the students can
testify out of my own experience that they are working with a greater
diligence than ever. The same is evidenced by our physical workers.
The love Of work, which is the mother of all civic virtues, is help
ing our people to overcome the influence Of evil forces And already now
one may say: Go and see the German people while at work, and YOU will
be able to form an idea as to what it is and what it can accomplish

Eighteen Years Added to the Average Duration
of Life Since 1855
By LOUIS a. HANSEN, in Life & Health.

In 1900 the average length of life in the United States was thirty
five years, IN 1856 it was forty years, and in 1920 it was fhyeight years.
Eighteen years have been added to the average duration of life since 1865.
From 1910 to 1920 the increase in the life span was four years.
1t is generally considered that the larger part of the worlds burden
is borne by men above forty years of age. Thus in 1900 the average man
died seven years before he reached the age of his greatest usefulness In
1920 the average man lived eighteen years beyond this age.
In 1911 a death rate Of II per 1000 was generally accepted as nor
NAL Deaths above this rate were considered abnormal or unnatural. In
1929 the rate was reduced to 1873 per 1000 for the registration area Of
the United States, and for 1924 the estimated rate is still lower, 116 per
1000. Thus in q decade have standards had to change, showing a pos
sibiLty ii Ife-saying that is very remarkable.
