How to Protect Bread.

The practice of wrapping each loaf of
bread in oiled paper when it is taken
from the oven and sealing the knot of
the string holding the paper, as is done
in few first-class shops on the other
side, is desirable for protecting bread
when the loaf has to be handled many
times in the process of delivery. The
bread is protected from dust and hand
ling as well as the possibility of bacilli,
and the paper prevents the moisture in
the bread from escaping and keeps the
bread fresh

NEW MASSAGE ROLLER.

Electric Beautf6er Removes Wr1n-
kIes and BIemtshes.
A new beautifier which is warranted
to produce a perfect complexion, re-
moving wrinkles and all facial blem-
ishes, is an electric massage roller.
This roller is ready for use at any time
and does not require recharging. 1t is
formed like the blotter rollers and
used in the same way. 1t is far more
ornamental than any device yet pro-
duced for similar purpose, being
furnished in silver and gold. It is said
to be most effect1Dal in building up the
muscles and tissues as well as reducing
unsightly corpulence. It's work is not
confined to the face alone, but will do

Hugo, Col, Aug.3.-For several weeks
rapchmen and settlers have been great

has been truly alarming.
Grass on some parts of the range has
been entirely devastated. Along the

after being cut by the mowers. For
several days countless myriads of the

BREATHING EXERCISE.
How to Fill and Empty the Lungs On
Scientific Principles.

How to Fiji and Empty the Lungs On
Scientific Principles.
It is claimed by certain reformers,
who, it would seem, never find things
to their liking, that not one woman in a
hundred breathes normally. The res
piration of the average woman varies
with every change of r3ental or physic-
al condition, and it is rare thing for
q woman to use her lungs to the best
possible advantage without previous
knowledge of physiology and an appre-
citation of the merits of physical culture.
Desirable as is a thorough exercise
in breathing, it is not quite safe to eX-
pertinent in the matter. y very little
instruction on the subject Will enable
any woman to comprehend the precise
art of filling and emptying the lungs on
scientific principles. After this has
been acquired the chief thing is to
breathe in as much sunshine as possible
and to believe in the efficacy of oxygen
as a remedy for nearly all the ills that
are fashionable.
The following are some excellent
rules for improving the respiration
and bringing it up to a normal condi-
ton: Stand in an open window or re-
cline on couch, with the waist and
chest unconfined: hold the chest walls
high and inhale in slow. long breaths,
ezhale as slowly, three times only at
first. Gradually the number of times
may be increased and the time length
ened for the breathing exercises. Fiji
