ABOUT BREATHING

Tight dressing. though the most seri-
Gus hindrance to the habit Of good

There are careless ways Of sitting and
standing that draw the shoulders for

hard for the lungs to do good work
when the chest Is narrow and construct
ed as il is for closely bandaged hand
to set copy Of clear, graceful penman-
ship. Then there are lazy ways OF
breathing, and one-sided ways Of
breathing. and the particularly bad
habit Of breathing through the mouth.
Now tie nose was meant to breathe
through. and IL lis marvelously arranged

and for changing II to > suitable tenn

The Sentence Was Reduced.

Major Gassaway. prominent San
Antonio lawyer, is famous for his long
speeches. They are so long they cause
his clients to get long sentences from
the exasperated jury.
Recently Major Gassaway defended =
murderer. and addressed the jury of
and on for the better part Of two days.
The jury gave the man imprisonment
for life in the penitentiary. and they
would have given Gassaway twice As
much II they could have legally done
SO.
When Judge Noonan. who was on
the bench. asked the doomed man the
usual question As 70 his having objec-
ton to sentence being pronounced ON
him according to law, the latter re-
piled:
II think. your honor. that the time
consumed BY my attorney, in address
ing the jury. ought to be deducted from
my term Of imprisonment
Judge Noonan said that he thought

Rheumatism

It is an established fact that Hoods Sar-
saparilla has proven an invaluable remedy
in many severe cases of rheumatism, effect
ing remarkable cures by its powerful action
in correcting the acidity of the blood, which
is the cause of the disease, and purifying
and enriching the vital fluid.
IL is certainly fair to assume that what
Hoods Sarsaparilla has done for others it
will do for you. Therefore, if you suffer
the pains and aches of rheumatism, give
this potent remedy fair trial.
A Positive Cure.

tism in my hips, ankles, and wrists. l
