HOW TO LIVE LONG.
Fix deeply in mind the grand .truth that life power rules the body, and that it alone can cure disease. Life power' lives on air, water and food only; all else is hurtful. Make cleanliness your motto, and watch against filth in both house and grounds. , .-. ■"...■' •.,: Few starve for food, but many for alt. Breathe deeply a. hundred times daily. Wear no tight clothing. Above all, ventilate your sleeping room. Beware of gluttony. If the appetite is dull, eat fruit only, or eat nothing. U3e no fiery condiments, but live chiefly on natural grains, vegetables and fruits. Never ask your stomach to chew your food—employ your teeth. Adorn your table not only with viands, but with flowers and smiles and kindly words. Deformity is not awkwardness , only, but danger. A high chest will give freedom to breathing and digestion, and help to cure many diseases. Spend part of each day in muscular work, part in study, and part in good deeds to men. ■ .
