BREATHE PURE AIR.
The Necessity For Filling the Lungs at
Each Inhalation.

e. =. = 4
The Necessity For Filling the Lungs at
Each Inhalation.
Breathe pure air always. In the lungs
a most important physiological process
occurs 1t is from here that the blood
laden with oxygen is sent to all parts of
the body, giving off along it's course its
oxygen and taking up carbonic acid gas,
which it brings at last to the lungs,
when it is cast out in expiration. More
oxygen is taken in by inspiration and
the same process is repeated.
So let your breathing be full and deep,
going to the very bottom of the lungs
in order that all of the blood in them
may receive it's full amount of oxygen
before again starting upon its tour of
distribution through the body. Can one
use any more forcible argument in favor
of loose clothing than this? 1t is abso-
lutely impossible to secure plenty OF
oxygen if the clothing is worn at all
tight, and oxygen is a food which the
body must have always in abundance to
keep we'll. IS
The air leaving the lungs is laden with
; that deadly poison carbonic acid gas,
which if given off in close room when
! no provision is made for it's escape and
the entrance of pure air soon renders
the air utterly unfit to breathe Perhaps
some night you will find yourself I'M
able to sleep and tumble restlessly about
in bed. When this occurs, go to an open
window and inhale the fresh air, breath
ing slowly and deeply. A few minutes
of this and you can return to bed and
probably will soon be sleeping quietly.
What has happened? By its restlessness
the body was asserting its need Of more
oxygen. Now you have given it what
it so emphatically asked for, and it is
quiet. We get as much uneasiness and
disturbance from the want of this food
as when we do not eat enough, only the
symptoms are not so well understood
nor recognized so quickly. Always KEEP
your mouth closed and breathe through
your nose. Then the air is warmed,
slightly moistened and largely freed
from particles of DUST so that when il
enters the lungs it does not irritatt
them.
A condition often met with by ply
sicianS is an8mla. In this trouble TIT

VIEWED THE SPANIARDS.

War Balloon Observations stated 60
Have Reen Very Successful.
NEW YORK, July "A dispatch to
The Press from Siboney, Cuba, June
So. via Playa del Este, says: For the
first, time in the history of the United
States a war balloon was sent up this
afternoon, making observations OF IN
calculable benefit to G eneral Shafter's
force in the field occupied by the enemy
and over the doomed city of Santiago.
1t was manned by two members OF the
signal corps. OF all the reconnaisances
made inside the Spanish lines by such
spies from our army, no lnformatlon
brought back by them has been so val
liable as that obtained by the observers
in the balloon.
The balloon was sent up from an
open, elevated space not far from Cen
eral Skaters headquarters, near
Siboney. While it scared in the air,
seeming to almost touch the cioudless
sky, fully 1900 feet above ground. II
was in plain view Of the army, navy
and the men on warships lying eff the
coast. They watched it with the great
est interest and no doubt it was with
mixed feelings of wonder and fear tina
the officers and men in the Spanish
army, in Cervera's feet and the people
in Santiago viewed it soaring oTer TIT
territory held by them.
Spanish Shots Fell Short.
The men in the balloon were sool
aware that they had been sighted b.
the Spaniards, for messengers raj
about, and shots, evidently from ma
chine guns, were aimed at them. Tn
swaying OF the great gas bag and tn
effect of the gravity, however, pre-
vented any of the projectiles from hit
ting it and the Spaniards soon gave up
evidently not wishing to waste ammu
milton.
With their telescopes the SPANS
warships, the camps and the city wer
brought into, close range, but all tn
information gained is in the possessio
of General Shafter and some OF tn
mem bers of his staff. Sketches an
maps were drawn showing the enemy
location.

It
Bombardment of Santiago, as
Threatened on Sunday, Did
Not Occur.
In the Face of Spanish Reinforce
ments Shafter Thought
It UnWise.
So, Also, Did the Officials at
Washington---Will Await
More Troops,
Which will be Hurried Forward
as Fast as Ships Can
Carry Them.

WASHINGTON, July 6.--There has
been no bonn bardment of Santiago as
yet, and possibly there will not be
any during the present week.
This is the opinion of members of the
cabinet as expressed on leaving the
White House after the cabinet meet
ing. Secretary Alger and Secretary
Long have been in almost constant CON-
munication with General Shafter and
Admiral Sampson upon the situation,
and the conclusion has been reached
that it would not be advisable to carry
the city by storm with our present
forces. General Shafter, in a'dispatch,
confirmed the report that General PAN
do, with about 5000 Spaniards had ar
rived in the city and were already dis
tributed among the Notifications. This
reinforcement makes the Spanish forces
defending the city from sixteen to eigh-
teen thousand. The very great advan-
tage of heing entrenched adds materl-
ally to their strength, and, In the opln-
ion of military men, makes their effect
i've fighting force from third to half
greater than our own.
Heat Worse Than spaniards.
General Shafter, in his dispatches.
states that the excessive heat and rains
of the last two weeks have contributed
nearly as much as the Spanish bullets
to the ineffectiveness of our army
Under these circumstances, 1t is his
opinion that it would be unwise to at
| tenn pt to carry the the city by assault
This view is shared by the officials
here, and also it is understood by AID
miral Sampson, in command of the
feet.
Orders were also given looking to thu
immediate dispatch of troopships from
Tampa with reinforcements for Shat
ter, and others now off Santiago will b.
brought here by the earliest possible
moment to aid in the transportation o
reinforcement 1t is expected 1900
will be sent forward as rapidly a
transportation can be provided. Thu
augmented, there seems to. be n
doubt the forces under General Shafte
will be able to storm and take the cit.
without delay. These are the view
entertained by members of the cabinet
who talk freely on the subject. New
ertheless, the orders under which bot
the army anil navy are now operatin
give the commanders wide discretion
and it is not doubted that shout
changed circumstances seem to wal
rant it, an aggressive movement wi
be begun.
A senator who talked with the mi
itary officials said there was no dout
! of the outcome if the American flee
could get inside the harbor, and thu
} place the city between the land an
; sea bonn bardments.
