Utility of Singing from Hygieaic Point
Of View

Utility of Singing from H7gieaie Point
Of view.
DR.. Barth has been discussing the
utility Of singing from hygienic
point Of view. Every bodily organ
Is strengthened by exercise; singers
exercise their lungs more than other
people ;;th eeefoFe, they havethes strong
est and scundest lungs The average
German takes into his lungs 5000
cubic centimeters Of air at breath,
while professional singers take in
1000 to 5000. The tenor, G1inz,
could take into his lungs at a single
inspiration enough air to suffice for
the singing Of the whole Of Schu-
mann's song, "The Rose, the Lily"
and one of the old Italian sopranists
was ableto trill up and down the chro-
matte scale two octaves in one breath.
A singer not only supplies his lungs
with more vitalizing oxygen than
other persons do, but he subjects all
the muscles of his breathing APP
paratus for several hours a day to
the most beneficial Gymnastics. These
exercises directly or indirectly in
yolye almost all the muscles of the
neck and chest. The habit of deep
breathing enlarges the chest, and
gives to singers that erect and impos-
ing attitude, which, in moderation, is
so pleasing. The ribs, too, are rem
sdered more elastic, and singers do
not in their old age suffer from the
breathing difficulties which make life
aburden 10 many old people. Singing,
too, improves the appetite, most vo-
calists being noted for their appre-.
citation of good meals. The nose Of
a singer is kept in healthy condi-
ton by being imperatively and con-
stantly needed Acknowledgements,
the injurious mouth breathing be-
ing entirely discarded. DR.. Barth
shows, in fact, that there is hardly
any kind of gymnastics that exercises
and benefits so many organs as singing
does.

Go to the Star Laundry on Main
street for fine work. The Chinese
is the best because no
acids are used and no rough
methods that destroy and tear
up clothing. Collars, cuffs and
shirts washed at the STAR have
a rich gloss and will wear twice
as long as those finished in the
ordinary way. Don't forget the
