LONG LIFE AND RIGHT LIVING.
General William Booth, founder of
the Salvation Army, passed the 84th
anniversary of his birth the other
day. General Booth has not only
enjoyed long years but his life has
been a most useful one He has given
seven rules for long life and right
living which are reproduced herewith*
1. Fat as little as possible. The
average man eats too much. Instead
of nourishing his body, he overtaxes
ft. compelling his stomach to digest
more food than it has capacity for.
2. Drink plenty of water in prefer-
ence to adulterated concoctions.
3. Exercise. It is just as foolish to
develop the mind and not the body
as it is to develop the body and not
the mind. Perform some manual la
bor, dig, walk, chon wood, or, if you
can talk with your whole body, why.
then talk; but du it with all your
might.
4. flare a system, but do not be a
slave to the system. If my hour Is to
rise at. 8 a. m... and at that time 1
haven't had sufficient-rest, 1 take
South must co-operate with all their
resources to meet it
Any other course will be disastrous.
.The country is at war and the country
and its allies must have food if they
are to win the war. Cotton will be
needed, but cottun without food will
get us nowhere. The war will be won
or lost on the farms of the United
States.—Houston Post.
THE POWERS OF DEMOCRACY
The President's war proclamation, in
which he sets bounds for the conduct
of alien enemies within the United
States, furnishes a grave and some-
what startling reminder of tho vast
powers of the chief executive of the
United States in time of war.
longer time.
a. Do not fill your life with a lot
of silly and sordid pleasures, so that
when you come to die you will find
you have not really lived. .
6. Abstain from indulgences which
overtax the body and injure not only
yourself but the generations that
, come after you.
7. Have a purpose in life that pre
dominates above all else, that is bene-
ficent to those about you and not to
—your own greedy self—lf there is one
thing for which I am glad it is that
I have found a purpose which involves
not me alone but all humanity, „ ’

Iteration and reiteration of the plain
