HOW TO ESCAPE FROM EVEN MIDDLE AGE
“There ought to be no such thing as middle age,“ said Dr Josiah Old' field, at the Simple life Exhibition. “If a man lives properly ho can carry the spirits of youth to the end of his days. I am on the way towards ninety. hut I feel entirely young. The secret is simple. A man must submit himself to mental and physical discipline and eat wisely and not too well.” Dr Oldfield went on to give this set of rules for avoiding middle age. Think big thoughts and cling to noble ideals. Live on the fruits of the highest minds. Do not waste time over petty things and do not take narrow view's! Eat fruits, vegetables, oils, e-rgs, butter and bread: drink pure wine and milk. Avoid shoddy, secondhand food of all kinds. Bathe every morning and rub the skin hard with a towel. Change your underclothing every twenty-four hours. Know yourself. *
