Health depends upon strict adherence to a few simple rules. Most of the sickness of to-day is preventable, and is due primarily to carelessness in living habits. It is not enough, however, simply not to be ill. Many people who are not sick, still are not well. To really enjoy life, one should be at his best and know the thrill of abounding health and the joy of wellbeing. Many people never experience this, and the slightest change in their environment makes them uncomfortable; yet they would not say they were ill.

Plenty of fresh air, a sane and simple diet and regular exercise, combined with a care-free state of mind, are the secrets of a normal, healthy life. They are so simple that people overlook them.

Fresh Air.-Sleep with the windows open, but be protected from the direct wind. Night air is not only not harmful, but absolutely healthful.

See to it also that you work under conditions of fresh air; it will prove a tonic. Bad air depresses all the organs of the body. Houses, working places, offices, hotels, trains, are abominably ventilated. Keep on the lookout or you will be constantly poisoned. Tenting out in the summer time or sleeping on a screened porch or roof will prove to the tired worker who is run down a wonderful restorer.

Make friends with the fresh air.
