CHEERFULNESS AND LONGEVITY.

Men and women whose daily work is of a sedentary and indoor nature can easily overcome the bad effects of the lack of movement so entailed by such exercises as brisk walking, running, and skipping; while singing and dancing also contribute eormously to length of days as well as “lightness of heart.” The more varied is the daily fare, the longer will one be able to partake of it, provided the food is not of the kind that tempts to over-eating. Butcher’s meat in particular should be eaten sparingly; vegetables, fruit, puddings, sweets, eggs, milk, butter, and cheese should he the mainstay of one’s meals. Regarding smoking, experience teaches us that the pipe is more conducive to a green old age than the cigarette. There is on record the case of a woman of one hundred and seven who had smoked a pipe of strong tobacco from the age of seventy. Ability to look always on the bright side of things, and the persistent cultivation of the belief that the best is yet to be, are qualities of the greatest importance, because they oppose and neutralise those depressing emotions which favour the shortening of one’s days. In a word, it is most likely to prove the assertion of the Scottish scientist that there is no reason why man should not live in perfect health to be one hundred and fifty.
