To Live Long Get a Wife.
Living to the “young” age of 60 is
easy if you know how, said Dr. J. M.
J. Raunick, city health officer, of Har-
risburg, in a health bulletin, in which
he gives rules for living to a green
old age with mind alert and body
vigorous. :
“But first get yourself a wife,” the
doctor admonishes the young man.
“Then settle down to a contented
life.” He added, among other rules:
“Rest a whole day each week, not
even reading or writing.
“Wear porous clothing, loose col-
lars, light shoes and hats and dress in
keeping with the weather.
“Avoid fatigue and excitement and
don’t worry.
“Never say unpleasant things,
don’t listen too much.”
Rubber “Muscles” Enable Wood Doll
to Walk.
A doll that will actually walk is
one of the novelties shown in the June
Popular Mechanics Magazine. The
inventor has been able to produce lo-
comotion by using the resiliency of
rubber bands as a substitute for mus-
cular action. Of course it will net
stroll away by itself, but when led by
the arm and swayed gently from side
to side, it gives a very fair imitation
of a promenade. Handled with an ac-
quired knack, it readily bows and’
even executes a few terpsichorean
steps.

Speed—and the
price of Meat
Forty-eight hours after cattle
are purchased by Swift & |
Company they are hanging up
as meat; within two weeks the
fresh meat has been sold.
This speed means money in
the pocket of the one who raises
the live stock and of the one who
eats the meat. It means a rapid
“turnover” of capital and invest-
ment—making possible the trans-
action of daily business on a
narrower margin of profit.
Speed permits Swift &
Company to do a successful
business on a profit of a fraction
of a cent per pound.
Such speed with its rapid
turnover and smaller profits
would be‘impossible without the
efficient organization and wide
scope of Swift & Company, the
results of fifty years’ experience
in handling meat.
Do you believe that govern-
ment interference with the com-
plicated and efficient machinery
of the packing industry can be
of any benefit ? Experience with |
government regulation of rail- |
"roads and telephone and tele- |
graph might suggest an answer.
