BLOOD CIRCULATION.
BreRthinE and Its Relation TO the
Secret of Good Health.

BreathinE and Its Relation TO the
Secret Of Good Health.
The secret of health. as every intelli-
gent physician knows, is free and full
circulation of the blood, and this circU-
lation is dependent absolutely on thOs-
Ough oxygenatiOn. In many cases
where erroneous habits of living have
been so long continued that congestion
has become chronic in one shape or all
other-obesity, gout, rheumatism, colt
stipation or tuberculosis having
camped in the system and crippled it
the patient is not apt to be in conGi-
tion to readily assimilate a sufficient
Quontity of oxygen direct from the at
m0sphere. The breathing apparatus
must first be properly developed, SO
that the patient shall be able to grad
ually increase the supply of air to the
system, until at last he RECEIVERS the
normal power of deep breathing.
With the building up of the lungs
through proper breathing there is a
metaboIism of all the tissues and or
gans. so that, for most men, breathing
exercises are more important than any
mere muscular exercise. Not only the
lungs, but all the internal organs are
brought into play by correct breathing.
1t develops the heart, stomach, liver
and kidneys directly and indirectly and
nOurishes all these organs as they
should be nourished by more blood and
better blood in constant and regular
circulation. Breathing, therefore, is a
sovereign remedy for our national dis
ease of nervous depletion. 1t might
we'll replace the countless tOnics, stim-
ulants and anOdynes now so commonly
resorted to, where results are nothing
less than tragic in thousands of cases.

New York, Oct 1O.-Leading Off

poration will leave town tomorrow for
a two weeks tour of inspection of the
corporations property. The party will
include President Corey, Vice Presi-
dents Gayley and Dickson, Chairman
Gary and Messrs. Frick. Rogers. Ream.
Bacon, Perkins and Widener,. of the
finance committee. According to a
leading official the trip has several i'm
pOrtant objects in view
Primarily it is proposed to reduce Op-
Grating expenses wherever this can be
done without affecting the efficiency
of the subsidiary plants. More i'm
portant, however. is the plan to CO.
operate with the large independent
manufacturers of steel and iron for a
reduced freight rate from the railroad
companies. The finished products OF
the corporation aggregated over s.
100000 tons last year and any ma
terial reduction of freight rates OIL
such enormous tonnage will result in
great saving.

There have been no developments of

Mohammednns and Pies..

A recent traveller in Somaliland gives
the following curious incident show
ing the Mohammedan hatred for pigs:
1--WE shot two wart hogs. one a partic-
ularly big boar. Alan wished to keep
the tusks. but of course none of the
Somalis would touch the unclean ami
NAL. At last bribe of 2 rupees in
duced the Midgan woman to chop the
tusks out with hatchet. Even then
she would not touch them and with
the help of two sticks, which she used
like a pair of tongs, put them on a
camel Then there was a long dispute
about the hatchet. No one would touch
it. 1t had been defiled. OF course this
was pure affectation and playing to the
gallery on the ayah's part. At home
with her native tribe she would have
gorged all the pig she could get. But
it fiattered the Somalis, and we march
ed off, the ayah holding the hatchet at
arms length as if it were going to bite
her"
