Vita, Activity in Cold Weather.

The vital fires burn brighter in cold
weather. The whole tide of life
moves with greater activity. The pro-
cess of digestion is quickened because
the process Of oxidation is increased.
The liver requires oxygen for max
ing bile and performing all its varied
Functions, and the oxygen we breathe
I'm cold air, improves the function of
the liver. so it can do one-seventh
more work than before.
The muscles, also. depend for their
activity upon oxygen. In an excess
OF carbonic acid gas the muscles are
esphyxiated, and so one feels de-
pressed in warm weather.
A person does not get out of breath
go easily in cold air as in warm. The
woodchopper can swing his axe with
more energy on a cold day. Cold air
aids In the elimination of the poison.
Gus matters which are all the time
forming within the body.
When oxygen is not plentiful
enough to make the vital fires burn
sufficiently to consume the fuel and
waste of the body. then much of the
waste material is left behind in the
Form of imperfectly burned sub,
stances. which may be called cinders
of the body.

him in distant city, with the same

Uncle was one of the conspirators,

down at the thing that had been given
