Aphysician claims to have discovered

According to his view, yawning 10

neck.
He recommends, therefore, that every
person should have good yawn, with
stretching of limbs, morning and even.

that patients suffering from disorders

He makes his patients yawn either by
suggestion, imitation. or by a series OF
full breaths with the lips partly closed.
The yawning Is, he recommends. to be
repeated six or eight times.

LAUGHTER A GREAT TONIC.
Keeps the Spirits Buosant, the Heart
and Face Young.


II presume IL we laughed more Ne
should all be happier and healthier"
writes Edward w. Box in the Ladies'
Home Journal. "True. we are busy
and very practical people. And
most Of It's probably find more In this
life to bring the frOwn than the smile.
But, nevertheless. 1t Is a pity that we
do not laugh more; that we do not
bring ourselves to the laugh. IL need
be. For we all agree that good
laugh Is the best medicine In the
world. Physicians have said that no
other feeling works SO much good TO
the entire human body as that of mer.
riment. AS a digestive, 1t Is unex.
celled; as means of expanding the
lungs, there Is nothing better. 1t keeps
the heart and face young. 1t Is the
best Of all tonics to the spirits. 1t is,
too, the most enjoyable Of all sensa.
tions. A good laugh makes us better
friends with ourselves and everybody
around us, and puts us into closer
touch with what Is best and brightest
In our lot In life. 1t il to be regretted,
then, that such potent agency for
our personal good Is not more often
used. 1t costs nothing. All other med.
icines are more or less expensive.
Why said an old doctor not long ago,
II people fully realized what 1t meant
to themselves to laugh, and laughed
as they should, ninety per cent. Of the
doctors would have to 90 out OF busi.
ness Probably when we get . little
less busy we shall laugh more. For,
after all, the difference between gloom
and laughter Is but a step. And II
more Of us simply took a step aside
oftener than we do. and rested more.
we would laugh more. BY laughing I
do not mean the silly giggle INDUCED
In by some women and so many girls.
There Is no outward mark which dem
onstrates the woman Of shallow mind
90 unmistakably as that Of glggllng.
Where Is no sense In the giggle; no ben.
eft to be derived from 1t. 1t makes
. fool Of the person herself, and rem.
ders every one about her uncomfort-
able. But Just as IT,, gigglc Is the
outcome Of a small mind, the hearty
laugh Is the reflection Of n healthful
nature. What we want Is more good
laughers In the world-not more sig
glers."

Kneipp Cure for Horses

The Kncipp cure, or that part Of II
which consist In walking through the
dewy grass In the early morning. has
long been known TO hOrsemen. A
horse trainer and tanner commends the
treatment for horses, to keep the hoofs
In good condition. ~ do not believe
In packing and soaking horses feet, as
many horsc-owners do" he says. I'm
the summer time would have the
horse to be treated led early In the
morning ks0ugh the dew. Think OF
II yourself r yon are out walking
IN the early morning, even wearing
thick boots, you will remember that
In a few moments the dew penetrated
through to your feet. Dew passes
through the boot when ordinary water
would not. This works the same with
horses, nature having provided this
simple preventive and cure for dis.
eases of the hoof."-New York Times.

A SUDDEN SUMMONS.
w. II. HARRIS, OUR WELL BELOVED FELL
LOW TOWNSMAN DEAD.
CALLED FROM HIS EARTHLY HOME TO
ONE ABOVE AFTER ONLY ABOUT
TWO HOURS SICKNESS.
A Sad Surprise To All.

The portal Of death is wide and per-
sons of all ages. all stations, rich or
poor; high or low; those lingering in
sickness, to whom death is happy re
lease; those in the full prime and vigor
of life, all, sooner or later, are gather
ed in. How often the saying, ain the
midst of life we are in DEATH" has
come to us lately in the several deaths
which have occurred in our town.
On Sunday Mr.. and Mrs. Harris
drove to Brockway, in the evening
they attended the Nj. E. church in this
village. At bedtime Mr.. Harris spoke
of slight pain in the region of his
heart but went to bed and to sleep.
About two O'Clock he awoke his wife,
saying the pain was more than he could
bear. Immediately willing hands were
at work to ease the dear one and a
doctor called, but nothing availed and
shortly after four o'clock this kind
husband and father breathed his last
and the anguish-stricken family are
left in their terrible grief. This sudden
taking away from their family circle
of its head means more than they car
bear TO contemplate, they, who loved
him so faithfully and so we'll, and to
whom he was always the kind, atfec
tionate husband and father, but the
consolation which noble, true chris
tian man always leaves behind him, is
theirs and nothing can rob them oi
their belief that he is at rest in the
heavenly kingdom.
Mr.. Harris was about 81 years of age
and seemingly strong, healthy man
His death was caused from neuralgia
| of the heart.
Yale loses one of its most influential
and best respected citizens who has
| done much 20 build up the town and
who will be greatly missed. The SYM
pathy of all goes out to the bereaved
| family.
The funeral services were conducted
an Thursday at IL O'Clock in the Nj. f..
church, Rev. j. II. Harrison, of Port
Sanilac, officiating. One of the largest
congregations at funeral in Yale as
sembled on this occasion. The remains
of deceased were inferred in Elmwood
cemetery.
Mr.. Harris was a member of Aetna
Council, go, Royal Arcanum, in which
institution he carried SO 900 life insur-
ance, and also a member of Yale Tent,
X. o. r. NJ, with 81 900 policy.
The family and near relatives of de-
ceased desire to thank all the friends
and neighbors who so kindly admins
tered to their wants In the hour of
their sad bereavement.
