"HEALTH" IS SUBJECT OK CHAPEL TALK In his chapel talk last Monday, Mr. Wells spoke about health and the most common causes of death. He brought out in his talk that al though the expectancy of life has increased 20 years during the last century, a person who attains the age of 35 has. no better chance of living to an old age than was the case two generations ag6. Mr. Wells stated that the nine most important causes of death are: : (1) heart trouble, (2) cancer, (3) apoplexy, (4) pneumonia, (5) acci dents, (6) kidney trouble, (7) tu berculosis, (8) diabetes, and (9) ap pendicitis. "Careful study shows, that these causes may ie delayed from five to 20 years and in many cases en tirely eliminated," said Mr. Wells. Suggestions, which may prolong life were listed as follows: (1) an nual physical examination, (2) well balanced regular meaLs, (3) regular sleep in well-ventilated rooms, (4) avoid habitual over-exertion, (5) regular exercise, (6) avoid over eating because people who are over weight .usually suffer from heart r trouble. FOOTBALL SQUAD THANKS BENEFACTORS As the football season draws to a close, the school is mindful of the fact that the team's success was largely made possible by the cooperation and financial aid of the business and professional men of Franklin.
