struction of temporary cold, too often bring
about habits of mouth breathing and their ter
rbe consequences. Not long ago the school
children of the city of Boston were thorough
ly examined and nine out of ten breathed in
correctly. Much talk is made about school
room ventilation, but the teacher is not trained
to give a thought as to how that air is to be
inhaled by her pupils. The school physiologies
say little about it, and that little is not convinc-
ing
Very few people, therefore, seem to under
stand just what work the nostrils can do if al
halr-like vibrissae, which stand guard at their
entrances, catch the particles of dust and other
injurious matter with which our city air is
laden. The air, thus filtered, passes through
the long and tortuous nasal passages, and on
its journey is warmed by the blood-warmed
walls and is charged with moisture absorbed
from the mucous lining. The nose thus seeks
to reproduce for the lungs the climate of Flor
ida Thus, nose breather can live in any eli
mate, while the mouth breather is ever in dan
ger.
The mouth-breather is in danger because of
the variety of ways in which he is abusing his
physique. Look at his mouth. Very likely his
lips are chapped, for physicians have arrived at
the conclusion that chapped lips are due to the
alternate passage of hot and cold air, respired
incorrectly through the mouth. His teeth have
the marks of early decay, due to the same
place. NIaloccusion is the technical name
given to the nonfitting together of the upper
and lower teeth when the jaws are closed This
discrepancy is a potent of decay, and,

ness are due to incorrect breathing" an aurist
said recently eff all the world breathed
through their noses, [ would not have half so
many patients. As it is, my most discouraglng
and hopeless patients owe their infirmities to
habits of mouth-breathing."
Unfortunately the raw air, not satisfied by
doing so much harm in the head, goes farther
through the epiglottis and the larnyx to the
bronchial tubes and the lungs. And, just as
if it had been accumulating energy, 1t is here
that it accomplshes its most deadly work. Iu-
berculosis is a specter that sits in nearly every
home. How many of us have had to see those
who were our best beloved fall into its clutches?
How many has it banished into Colorado or
New Mexico? 1t would almost seem as if this
was one of the evils with which our much vaunt-
ed civilization was powerless to cope. But the
specialists have found a way to prevent this
fearful disease, and even to cure it, in the first
stages "Iive out of DOORS" they say to the
narrow-chested consumptively disposed patient,
"and breathe as Nature intended you to
breathe" These commands are equally binding,
although the emphasis is usually laid on the first.
OF late, however, the emphasis is shifting. The
doctor can now say to the patient who cannot
afford to travel, at all lies in your hands.
Give up mouth-breathing and breathe through
your nose, and your will mitigate the eli
mate for you until you can live in it, without
fear"
The man who, after long years of incorrect
breathing, tries to respire through his nose, need
not be surprised if he finds it difficult task.
Finally he is apt to say, "My nose is stopped
up; I can't breathe through it," and goes to
the DOCTOR Once upon time the doctor would
have said: "Douche it out with warm water
and medicine" Some of them still say it. but

the most ardent advocates of nose-breathlng do
not believe in douching. -,
'The nostris are not built to be flushed with
liouids. Gone of these said when asked for his
opinion "The air will keep them clean"
But if the patient insists that he cannot
force the air through his nose?" the questioner
persisted
''In that case there must be some obstruc-
tion-chronic catarrhal enlargement, extraneous
growth or actual bony malformation. This must
be removed by cauterization or the knife. Then
force the patient to breathe through the cleared
nostrils by the use either of chin compress
or a mouth plaster.
Chin congresses or bandages have long been
used to check snoring-that audible manifesto

At first this plaster should be in the

ing habit is formed. In addition, care must be
used to break the habit Of clearing the throat,
to which all catarrhal subjects are addicted
The nose can carry off all mucous waste. Also,
nasal breathing exercises must be taken ten or
twelve times a day. Inhale the air slowly
through the nostrils and eXhale it forclbly
through the same passages. Repeat this from
ten to twenty times At first all the attention
must be directed to seeing that the air is re-
spired entirely through the nostrils, but, when
practice has made perfect lung expansion and
deep breathing are the matters of moment.
An octogenarian who up to date has preserved

er But, in addition, every morning before
breakfast he goes to open window and,
placing his finger over one nostril, breaths deep

Then he repeats the operation with the other

He speaks whereof he knows, for nose-breath-

and too often due to childish mouth-breathing.
For the child who breathes through wide
open mouth, eventually changes the whole arch
of the jaw. How many people are to-day going
to the dentists to have their teeth Strengthened
and their facial outlines improved? Their num-
bers are legion, and many more should join the
army, for the dentists are accomplishing Won
ders. But it is always long and expensive op-
Grafton. 1t seems sad that such hours of suffer
ing had not been obviated by little care in
breathing.
If we look at the nose of the mouth-breath-
er, we find an even worse condition. 1t is one
Of Natures economic provisions that whatever
is disused decays. just as a water pipe if
unused tends to clog with dust and rust, so the
.nostrils miss the cleaning offices of constantly
passing air currents The mucous lining men,
branes, deprived of their air baths, become con-
gested, thus producing cata1rh. Small or
ridges become chronically nfamed. 1t is these
latter that the causes of asthma and hay
fever. The irritating pollen or dust lodges on
them and an attack results. Every year hay
fever drives hundreds from their homes, inter
ruptng both their business and their pleasure.
1t seems ridiculous to say that all this might be
prevented by proper breathing, But just that
has been proved by number of sufferers.
There is another of the upper air passages
which is tremendously affected by mouth-breath-
ing, and that is the eustachian tube. This con-
ducts air from the back part of the throat to
the inner ear, for the purpose of equalizing the
pressure on the car drum. Now when this air,
instead of being warmed and filtered by its
passage through the nostrils is raw, serious
things happen in the inner ear. "You would

President MeIIen Hopes soon 10 Sell All
Tickets Below = Cents o Mile.


PROVIDENCE, June 6.-President Mellen
of the New Haven road in an interview
to-day says the reduction in the mica &c
rate recently iraugura'ed throughout the
system is proving successful and that IL Is
his belief that ultimately Il ra te OF CON-
siderably less han two cents a mile can be
Introduced without loss to the road. Mr..
Mellen said:
sThe results Of our reduction OF tariff to
the maximum basis OF two cents a mile
have. 80 far as the returns are available,
proved satisfactory, in that they have in
creased the business of the company sufi-
ciently to make the reduction moi a serious
loss TO us.
We are hoping by the reduction to
largely eliminate the use OF the milea &c
book. which we have always felt was a rank
piece Of discrimination. We have never
understood how il was iustifable hat a man
with $40 in his pocket should ira vel cheaper
thar a man who could only raise IS. and
one Of our hopes in making the reduction
was that we could bring our services more
nearly within the each Of all the public
and at a common rate, and we arewatching
this feature Of the results with the greatest
possible interest.
We believe our tariffs should be ar
ranged 30 that every one can travel either
FIVE miles or fifty miles at the same rate Of
fare per mile, and it is our hope that in time
the public will appreciate that all classes
of transportation should be sold without
discrimination in rate, and il such should
he the case the general rate could I'M
doubtedly be made even considerably less
than two cents per mile to every one and
without serious loss to the railroad"
