ExeI else tho Lungs.
KnnAna City Times.

All over the country gymnasium
instructors are devoting much atten'
ton 10 proper breathing as an essen-
tial to good constitution. A few years
ago this idea was, strange to say, but
little advocated. Time then was devoi-
ed to feats of strength aud unOrganized
gymnastics. Men who were looked
upon IA giants fell victims 10 cOnsump-
tiOn aud their s0.called training seems
OF but little use. But the right exer-
else seems TO have been discovered ut
length aud IL is most simple. When
you breathe take long deep breaths,
expand the chest, throw the shoulders
back, breathe freely and easily, but
fiji every crcvice of your lungs. Then
exhale slowly and repeat the process.
Try this often until soon IL becomes
as natural as the old deleteriOus way.
Paal c. Phillips, director of the Y.
NJ. G. A. gymnasium, who has made
the subject study and who is thor.
oughly posted, gives the following
excellent recipe to business men and
to others.
"W hen you start to your Office in
the morning throw back your Shout
ders, raise your head and I'LL your
lungs to the utmost, walk ten steps
holding the breath, exhale again,
hold twenty steps, cxhale. Now thirty,
forty; now a half block. If II
makes you dizzy at first, start easier.
Take the same dose at noon and at
night.
This will make you tired when
you first try it, but soon the excerise
will become more stimulating than
liquor. Perhaps following the advice
may mean your life, ut any rate 1t is
guaranteed to give you an interest in
living,
