He spoke encouragingly the prospects OF the

a Republican form of government that the people
have been compelled to have recourse to private
agencies to enforce the laws"
He said that there We're already too many char
table organizations in existence. and some of them
were not altrustic in their purposes as they pro-
fessed to be. In closing he said:
What needs TO be awakened is public sent-

seems to end when we have passed law. We have

continued this physician, don't
take a cocktail. Just breathe.
Put your finger on your pulse
and get its rhythm. During
eight beats draw in the breath,
breathing deep and low, and
forcing the diaphragm down
first, then filling the upper
lungs. Then exhale this breath
during four beats of the pulse.
Nov, if you are work ing with
piece of machinery, say a

make it run more smoothly?
You don't put a lot more oil on
it, and gum and clog it all up.
You clean it first. You can
best clean the blood by breath
ing. The blood passes through
the lungs, and it needs aud ex-
poets to find plenty of fresh air
with oxygen in it. If it can't
find perfectly fresh air, it needs
more air which is not perfectly
fresh. 1t needs to be cleaned
lby contact with the air.
Once IN a while hold the lungs
full of breath as long as you
can without expulsion. In do.
