GOOD EFFECTS OF SINGING.

Valuable Form of Exercise for Per.
sons with Weak Lungs.
Many medical men are now recon-
mending their patients to study sing
Ing, which is a most salutary exercise,
both by virtue of its influence on the
emotions, on the respiratory move
ments and on the development Of the
lungs, says the st. Louis Globe-D Demo-
GRAFT Nothing better shows the bene-
fetal influence Of singing in developing
the chest and warding off lung disease
than the freedom from pulmonary at
fections among professional singers.
Moreover, their general health is ex-
ceptionally good, and this is probably
in large measure attributable, not
only to their necessarily careful plan
Of living, but also to the exercise Of
their calling. Some physicians main
tain that for defective chest develop
ment and in chronic heart trouble sing
ing Is an uneQualed exercise. The
singer should be clad SO as to allow
absolute freedom of the chest move
ments; there should be no construction
Of the neck or waist; the collar should
be low and ample, and if corsets are
worn they should be roomy and loose.
One error into which singers, and espe-
eiall amateurs, fall, is to practice too
much. The length Of time to be given
to the exercise depends much upon the
character and condition of the voice.
Specific rules cannot be given. Melba,
when asked how many hours Of prac-
tice day she would advise for pupil.
said: mo hours for a beginner, but
minutes. 1, myself, never practice more
than one hour day, and usually much
less" DR.. H. Holbrook Curtis consid-
ers forty minutes or an hour of actual
voice practice daily is quite sufficient
to develop most voices. This time
should be divided into periods Of ten
or fifteen minutes each. Regularity,
and not long practice hours, which only
fatigue the voice and wear it out, Is the
greatest aid to advancement The voice
develops very gradually, and any at
tempt to force its growth is fatal
mistake.

A Beautiful Creed.

"The most beautiful creed of the
heart is love of home." Gin the
purity of the home is the hope of the
nation" So says the Champion OF
Fair Play, "a journal devoted TO the
interests of the retail liquor trade" 1t
was this same beautiful creed which
drove the early crusaders out into the
streets and into the saloons to do bat
tie against homes greatest foe. 1t ia
this same creed which urges the home
keepers of the w. G. T. U. to "do
everything" that organized mother
love can do to aid in destroying the
destroyer. Does the retail liquor trade
conduce to the purity. of the home?
With q saloon on every corner and the
liquor power controlling our laws, where
is safety for our homes, what the hope
of the nation?-Union Signal.

Facts.
for
Women

Any article, whatever its merit
must be made known to the public by
means of advertising. Advertising,
however, though it can do much for .
thing. cannot do everything. 1t may
create sale for a time, but in order
to insure q lasting demand tho thing
advertised must have solid worth.
This is the case with Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. 1t has
solid worth.
Women everywhere have learned
this fuct, and the result is that there
Is q lasting and absolutely unequaled
demand for it. 1t has the largest sale
of any remedy for female ills in the
world, and this has been the case for
years.
The reason for this is that Mrs
Pinkham claims nothing that she 10
not entitled to claim. She can do all
that she says she can do, and her
twenty years of experience make her
advice invaluable. Hersxperience has
been not only long but worldwide,
and she has helped more women back
to health than any ono else in the
world. These facts should, and do,
have immense weight with all sensible
women. Remember these are not wild
statements but solid facts.
