Show HOW MEN MAY LIVE LONG. Ooldwln Smith Tells the Secret of Hla Youthfulncss and Vigor. Goldwln Smith, tho famous historian, histo-rian, educator, Journalist and essayist, who Is tho literary llfo of Canada, has brought out a good deal of comment on tho problem of old age, with men-tnl men-tnl and physical soundness, by his own opinion of tho Influences which hnvo helped him celebrate his 80th birthday In good health nnd able to do brilliant and valuable work In his chosen field of labor. Prof. Smith thinks Hint ho owes much to his freedom from hard tasks, In school or otherwise, when n boy. Ho was a sickly child and his chance of oven nverago length of days seemed poor. But ho was allowed much frco-Jom frco-Jom la boyhood, to roam tho fluids tntl play Instead of sticking closely .o books or taxing his mind severely. It Is hardly necessary to say that Goldwln Smith wns still a young lnd, however, when ho began to work zealously In school, and nt Kton nfid In tho university ho wns a brilliant student. Another point ho makes much of Is his lifelong hnblt of working work-ing In the early morning rather than lato at night, ami getting sleep in the hours of dnrkness, nature's tlmo for rest. Ho also testifies to his constant con-stant care as to outdoor oxcrclso and his moderation in eating nnd drinking. |
