Retirement Frequently Speeds Death
(M Average Successful Person
ACTIVE MAN GIVES TOO MUCH ATTENTION TO TRIFLING ILLS
IF NOT OCCUPIED
BY DR. MORRIS FISHREIN 1
ftdltor, Journal of the American
Medical Association, and of
Hygeia, the Health Magazine
Before giving advice to the
Aged as to the conduct of their
lives It may be well to recognize
somewhat their economic condi
tions. It is estimated by Dublin,
statistician of a famous life insur
ance company, that 1,250,000 persons
In the United States who have reach
sd the age of 65 are in want and
are supported by charity, public and
private. This means that 28 per
cent or more than one out of every
four are dependant.
It has long been known that re
tirement not infrequently has has
tened the death of the aged. A suc
cessful business man, when relieved
of the usual life and caused to re
sort to idle luxury, tends to degen
erate rapidly. Every trifling ail
ment begins to receive his undi
vided attention. The mental atti
tude is Important. Sir Humphrey
Rolleston says that "a well-occupied
mind, a happy disposition that
thinketh no evil, naturally smiles
Instead of frowning on a stranger
or a new idea, free from anger
hatred and Jealousy, the vice that
gives no pleasure to any one, and
an attitude of charity in its origi
nal and best sense to all, tend to
prolong life and make it a happy
healthy prelude to crossing the
bar." Thus one may point out that
dignitaries of the church, chief just
ices on supreme court benches,
prime ministers, and those of simi
lar professions whose activities are
prolonged tend to live longer than
others.
Apparently the most important
advice for attaining and prolonging
old age has to do with the diet. A
half-dozen proverbs attest the man
ner in which men have aooepted
this fact. “You dig your grave with
your teeth”; “Man does not die, h«
kills himself,” and best of all Hoo
sier former: “Pigs would' live a lot
longer if they didn’t make hogs ol
themselves.” An investigation madi
by one life insurance company re
vealed that 13 per cent of some
thousands of policyholders beyond
the age of 40 were more than 20
per cent overweight. Persona at
this age have usually stopped tak
ing even the physical exercise of
walking.
Since it is impossible for us to
choose our parents, all that we can
do toward the prolongation of life
is to avoid reventable diseases by
the usual sanitary and hygienic pre
cautions and by having physical ex
aminations at least once each year
to detect the presence of the dis
eases of middle life that come on
insiduously. Avoid worry since It
is of the greatest importance in
using up the inherent vitality.
'Moderation in all things, a certain
amount of mental and physical ex
ercise, some time in the open air,
and a reasonable amount of happi
ness—these constitute the prescrip- ,
tion for a long life and a useful one.

MOON DOES NOT
RULE WEATHER
Paris —(UP)— The Abbe Moreau,
director of the Observatory of
Bourges, and famous as a prophet
of good and evil days, has declared
that the influence of the moon was
practically negligible in its effects
on the weather.
"The moon has no connection
with changes in the atmosphere,
which cause areas of depression,
winds, rain and the extremes of
temperature,” the Abbe said; “all
that it affects on earth is the ris
ing and falling tides.”
The venerable Abbe asserted,
however, that both the ancients
and not a few modern students
believe that there are indications
given by the moon which bear a
close relation to weather predic
tion.
"We only have to cite the words
of General Bugeaud, the conquer
or of Isley, contained in one of his
letters dated Nov. 29. 1841," the
Abbe pointed out. "General Bu
geaud wrote, ‘Eleven times out of
twelve the weather during any
lunar month can be Judged by the
5th day; that is, if the 6th day re
sembles the 5th, and it being clear,
the rest of the month will be more
or less the same. If the 6th day is
compared to the 4th day, the pre
diction comes true nine times out
of twelve.”
The Abbe Moreau observed,
however, that not only General
Bugeaud wrote of this prediction,
but said that it was known to the
ancieuts, particularly to Virgil,
who had mentioned it In the First
Book of his Georgies.
The ancients believed that the
4th day of the new moon was in
dicative, and they believed it was
an infallible sign, based on long
observation.
Pliny the Elder wrote, accord
ing to Abbe Moreau, "In Egypt it
is observed that the 4th day of the
new moon must be taken as an in
dication. If the lunar body shows
Itself clear on the fourth day, fine
weather will continue throughout
the month.”
Cupid’s Aide Declares
Gin Marriage Law Works
San Francisco —(UP)— Cali
fornia’s “gin mariage” law has
achieved its purpose, in this city at
least, according to Grant (Cupid)
Munson, license clerk, who has been
smoothing the path of love for 25
years.
Designed to prevent hasty mar
riages, through the influence of
gin, or otherwise, by enforcing a
three-day delay between applica
tion and issuance of marriage li
censes, the iaw has enabled many
to chanke their minds, Munson
said.
He disclosed that there is a
wide discrepancy between the
number of applications made and
the number of licenses called for
and issued. Not all of these, how
ever, are due to a change of heart,
according to Munson. Some, he
said are due to a misunderstanding
of the law, couples believing they
can obtain a license here and b#
married in another county.

With tails and grinning head;
She carried this where’er she went,
On bob rides, say, with “Fred.”
So if these precious muffs were lost,
Both ma and grandma knew,
They would be found in bob sled,

Or in the family pew.

Is certainly all that's claimed for It.
I have proved that with my little

very delicate. Her bowels were
weak. I started her on Fig Syrup
when she was a few months old and
It regulated her, quick. I have used
It with her ever since for colds and

One day this manager was sitting
in bis office when two rough looking
men brushed the attendant aside and
confronted him.
“Listen, feller, what's the big
Idea?” one of them wanted to know.
“Every time you got a picture about
some kind of a profession, you invite
them people to see it free.”
