BREATHE PROPERLY.

London Express
The secret Of breathing H., to great
extent, the secret of health, and all
those who dwell In towns should there
fore gay especial attention to the sub
iect. Normal, unconscious breathing
sustains life, but it does not thoroughly
extend the lungs nor oxygenate the
blood.
The lungs need to be bathed in air
as does the body 10 water. To do this
requires intelligence, iorethought and
conscious act.
Deep, voluntary, systematic breath
ing strengthens weak lungs and pro-
teots the strong. Quick and deep in
SEPARATION of fresh air warns the blood
when chilled by standing in the open
air.
Inhale always through the nostrils so
that the air may be warmed in the
nasal passages, and any impurities
arrested there. Contagious diseases are
comparatively rare among those who
breathe through their noetrils.
A distinguished Psychologist asserts
that: ''Many people die for want OF
breath l''-adding; ut Is their own
carelessness alone that prevents them
from breathing. /" Half breathing is
half-living. Many OF US use only
the upper half of the lungs when
breathing. Sometimes this arises from
want of thought upon the subject,
sometimes from CONSTRUCTED clothing,
which renders deep inspiration i'm
possible,
To increase the lung power is to in
crease the life power. Deep breathing
strengthens the entire muscular system.
A full, slew inspiration of fresh air
which penstrates the reno ter lung
cells, and is held as long as possible,
then exhaled slowly through the parted
lips, builds up cells that have partially
contracted through lack of use; it not
only increases lung capacity and en-
riches the blood. but has decidedly
beneficial effect upon the throat and
vocal organs.
Moreover. none need plead that they
have not the time to practice breathing
properly, for even i've minutes day
will do you good.
