KEEP WELL AND STRONG.
Deep Breathing and Plenty Of Fresh
Air Are Essentials to
This End.

Deep breathing can be learned BY
everybody. 1t is difficult at first, but
becomes second nature after awhile
And it should be practiced constantly
for it plays a very important part in
beauty's programme, says the Brooklyn
Eagle.
1t is claimed that people who breathe
naturally always breathe deeply. The
Indian squaw who has never known q
band around her waist breathes deeply.
So does the little baby whose lungs have
never been cramped. So does every hui
man being until the time comes when
the waist is compressed and the body
dwarfed.
Deep breathing will reduce the weight
if one is fat and it will add flesh if one
is thin. 1t is the greatest known equal
izer 1t puts one in prime condition and
one will soon be developed normally.
In short time one will be of correct
weight for ones height and ones COM
plexion will be improved,
Before trying deep breathing be sure
that the atmosphere is good. The air
should be free and pure all the time.
There should be no useless bric-a-brac
around. There should be no velvet Oh
moth producing hangings. There should
be nothing in the room, specially the
sleeping room, that cannot be shaken
out every day, or at least once week.
The result of. sleeping in a room free
CT small articles soon becomes appar-
ent in tie health and complexion of the
occupant. The lungs breathe good air
free from microbes and there is plenty
Of breathing space. The rooms are not
cluttered up.
To get the best results, sleeping or
waking, have good, clear, pure air, and
learn to breathe deeply.
To breathe deeply study the art of fill
ing the lungs with fresh air full. Stand
erect. Place the hands upon the hips.
throw back the shoulders and breathe.
The process is called abdominal breath
ing, and is taught in all the gymnasipms.
In walking be sure to practice deep
breathing. Draw in long, deep breath.
Exhale slowly while walking. One can
walk four or five steps while one is ex-
haling, and four or five steps more while
one is drawing in the breath. Practice
this and it will become second nature.
Practice deep breathing every day.
Loosen the clothing, stand erect, throw
back the shoulders and inhale full deep
breath. Try to take ten deep breaths
or long breaths, as they are called.
