Cntarrh In Children.

familiar with the daily routine of ex-
ercise and as necessary as the meals.
Set 1t as part of the child's educa-
tion that he shall walk a certain num-
ber Of rounds at the playground at q
rapid rate with his lips tightly closed.
Make the opening Of them a demerit
and the completion Of the task in ac
cordance with the directions merit.
Increase the distance and the speed

for . woman to use her lungs to the
best possible advantage unless she has
had the special and definite instruction
in breathing incident to the vocal train
ing Of singer or elocutionist- A little
knowledge Of physiology and . few
hints on the subject, however. will en-
able any woman to comprehend the
precise art of filling and emptying the
lungs on scientific principles. The
lobes Of the lungs are well filled with
air and that one breathes from the alb
domen. After one has acquired this
habit the chief thing is to breathe In
~ much sunshine as possible. and to
believe in the efficacy Of oxygen as q
remedy for nearly all the ills that flesh
is heir to.
The following are some excellent
rules for improving the respiration, and
bringing 1t up to a normal condition:
Stand at an open window or recline
on couch with the waist and chest un-
confined; hold the chest walls high and
inhale In slow, long breaths; exhale as
slowly, three times only at first Grad
ually the number Of times may be IN
creased and the time heightened for the
breathing exercises. Fifteen minutes,
twice day. at least, should be devoted
to this exercise to accomplish the de-
sired results. To inhale long, deep
breaths while slowly raising the arms
above the head. and to exhale as slowly
while lowering them, Is one OF the best
breathing exercises ever invented. The
practice of breathing very deeply while
walking in the open air is recommend
ed not only for the general health. but
is one of the best cures for obesity, as
the increased amount Of oxygen great
ly augments the consumption Of waste
material.
Mrs. Emma Fans Story, whose full
and generous outlines are beautiful ex-
amples of the results Of vocal and
breathing gymnastics, not only is fond
of outdoor life. of walking and horse
back riding, but says that the require
ments of her art demand continued
daily practice of the very exercises
which we recommended for the devel-
opment Of chest, back and abdomen.

1t is more than probable that young
John A. Holiday. OF this city, son OF
the late James L. and Mary E. Holiday
has been drowned in the Ohio river be-
low this city.
Young Holliday--he is twenty-three
years OF age-has been employed at the
Holiday planning mills, on the South
Side, OF which his uncle, Mfr D. u. Hol-
llday is the principal proprietor. A few
DAYS ago he went to the fishing camp
of the Midway club, Of Wheeling. To-
Gated near Fosters landing, about
thirty miles down the river. Wednes-
day night or early Thursday morning
young Holiday disappeared. Articles
OF clothing that belonged to him were
found on the river bank near the camp
and It was feared that he had been
drowned, though the boys at tho camp
hoped he had done as he expected TO do
taken a circus boat on its trip up the
river TO Wheeling. However, as he has
not shown UP here. that theory is evil
IDENTIFY wrong.
MIR. wally Lukens. formerly lleuten-
ant OF the Wheeling police. went down
the river Saturday TO make an invesd-
CATION. Ho found the clothing belong
Ing to Holiday, but could find no trace
OF the missing man. While on his way
back to Wheeling last night, though. he
struck clue that will probably lead
10 the discovery of young Holidays
body to-day. 1t seems that the body OF
a young man answering to the descrip-
tion OF Holiday was taken from the
river at Rocky Point or Litman's Land
ing, several miles below the fishing
camp. on Saturday evening about s
o'clock and buried with little formality
and without Identification three hours
later.
Relatives OF the young man and an
undertaken will go 10 Litman's Land
ing this morning. and II the body proves
to be that OF young Holiday II Will be
brought to Wheeling for burial
