Since Sir George Birdwood attri- buted his successful pursuit of “senility” to a “certain playful deviltry of spirit, a ceaseless mili- taney, quite suffragettic,” all sorts of octogenarians and centenarians have been writing letters to the London Times. One correspondent boasts that his grandfather sus- tained life for 101 years by reading all the leading and special articles of that. paper. Other correspon- dents place their reliance on ‘“‘un- fired food,’’ eschew all flesh as they would the devil, sun themselyes ov the roofs in a state of nature, and otherwise court that inner harmony and balance of function which is supposed to spell longevity. Tt is a common saying that no- body clings to life like those who are about to lose it, and nobody ably sweet. But there is also a say- ing that he who would save his life | fo must first lose it, and to worry too much about life and health is to violate this precept. The rules of longevity are simple. They are | summed up in three words—moder- ation, exercise, philosophy. — A Viennese physician has come to the oi aeees that too much sleep causes disease more menacing to | life serts, come from the deposit of sub-|* stances that in waking hours are drained away from the organe in which they are deposited, unless} the person who sleeps much eats little. He believes brain workers! > do not need as much sleep as those who work hard with their muscles and that’ nervous aul fatigue. Are there any known laws about the relation of sleep to individual | {) |\well-being? From the varicty of seem that there adstone in his later | years is id to have slept thirt ‘to fourteen hours a day; Raison sleeps about five. Women are com- monly believed to need more sleep than men, but both men and wo- vary greatly in individual The only safe rule is for each of us to find out how much is AF needed for health and vigor, physi- ‘eal and mental. Generalizations “concerning sleep are misleading and mee sometimes dangerous. caer Sees UN'S RAYS PIERCE WATER. | Smooth Surface Acts Like Glass of oi-house.
