 THE YOUNG AND'THE OLD
 If I knew the medicine which preserves lasting youth or wards of early senility I'd take capsule or two of it every day myself But, going on what we do know, I do take a nip of iodine, plenty of the essential vitamins, some extra cal- cium etc, and keep all my teeth Cor my dentist's) functioning, take reg ular belly breathing exercise, roll a string of solnersaults every day. Silly business as any one with Q fake education knows, but I'm crazy enough to believe the routine keeps me from growing old too young. There isn't room here to give all the details. Read more about it, if you wish, in the booklet "The 2 Keys to vite"-for copy send twenty-five cents and stamped envelope bearing your address. This booklet is ex- pressly for adults who are feeling a little too old.
 For growing children and young sters in their early teens, or rather for their parents, there is another booklet "v-I-T-E Spells Youth" dealing with juvenile anemia, spinal curvative, chronic fatigue or listless- ness, poor posture and other child hood manifestations of premature senilty. For copy send ten cents and stamped envelope bearing your ad- dress.
 For the information and, hope, the benefit of readers who may not know what vite means let us de- fine it.:
 vite means preservations of the characteristics of youth, better
 thsn-average nutritional condition
 as-manifested in lower death rates, better growth and development. extension of the prime of life in
 both directions, material improve ment of the life expectation of adults, higher average level of positive health thruout the life cycle, greater pep, more vitality,
 the highest degree of natural im-
 munity, an adequate fund of re- serve power to tide over emer- gencies and strains, the resiliency of the untamed animal or the primitive savage.
 Vite rhymes with kite. The tern was coined by some of our readers collaborating with the conductor of this column. You will find vite in Webster's dictionary, but Websters vite rhymes with beet and is 2 French term used in music, signify. ing passage is to be played quickly, lively. I had never heard of it un- til some years after we coined ou. term.
 Anyway. as long as you have vite you have youth and when you haven't vite you are old and you can't kid yourself out of it.
