Without air he dies in a few minutes.
The action+of the heart, stomach, liver,
kidneys, and most other organs are
beyond the direct control uf the in
dividual
The breathing, however, although
usually unconscious, being presided
over by the sympathetic nervous sys-
tenn, may at any moment be made vol
untary.
OF all the vital functions, it is the
one most largely under conscious con-
trol-the one most readily trained.
Very few people breathe properly.
In an examination of several thou
sand cases, the writer found less than
1 per cent of men and women who
made proper use of their lungs. 1t
may be noted in passing, that each of
those found with normal respiration
was remarkable for power in some
particular line.
Two of the men and two of the wo-
men found to be normal, are famous
vocalists. Two of the men were sue
cessful business men self raised from
early poverty. One of the men was a
burly negro, possessed of the figure
and strength of Hercules. Another
of the men Is the greatest prize fighter
this country has ever produced.
AS a rule Of general application it
may be stated that the capacity Of the
chest is an index to the mental and
physical powers Of the individual.
The greatest men of all times and
countries-the Napoleons, the Luthers,
the Cromwells, the Daniel Websters-
have been large chested, deep breath
ing men. The writer knows of no
exception to the rule that the indi-
vidual who breathes normally is a
man or woman Of power.
But normal breathing ts rare-very
rare. Why is this so? In the first
place it is so only among civilized
men and women whose clothing and
whose habits render the normal
breathing movements impossible. In
natural breathing the spine is straight
and the body erect and the entire
trunk (chest, back and abdominal
walls) expands with the inhalation
and contracts when the air is ex-
PEELED.
With ordinary clothing, however,
this action is impossible. In the case
of a man the wearing OF a tight COL
lar on shirt or coat and the tightly
buttoned waistcoat draws the head
forward, contracts and depresses the
chest and rounds out the back. The
chest in this position is unable to ex-
pand and only the lower or "abdomi-
nal" breath can he taken.
Among women, on the other, hand.
the wearing of tight belts, corsets and
skirt bands about the waist renders
the expansion in that region impossi-
BILE. Providentially, however, the
dressmakers allow some little freedom
of the clothing over the chest and the
unfortunate woman (complacent mar
tyr to the modern Moloch) can breathe
only by fatiguing and unsightly ex-
pansion of the upper ribs, known as
the "clavicular" breath. The clavicu-
lar breathing is said to be the distinc-
tive respiratory action of women, even
as the abdominal has been claimed TO
be normal for men. AS matter OF
fact this conclusion has been based
upon the examination Of men and wo-
men who, bound and CONSTRUCTED by
their clothes, breathed as their clothes
permitted them. For in these days OF

THE BREATH
BY. w R. C. Latson, M. D.

The importance of breathing has
been recognized in all ages. In many
religious systems the breathing oc-
cupies first place as means OF train
ing in self control and abstraction and
as a ceremonial. In the book of Cen
esis the Jahvist represents God as
breathing into insensate man the
breath of life; "and man became a liy-
ing SOUL" In the Hebrew language the
aspirate Ha is one Of the names of
deity. in fact, a part of the name OF
the Hebrew God, Jehovah. 1t is related
that, when God changed the names of
Abram and Sarai as a mark of his
favor. He added to those names
the sacred sound Ha making the
names, of Abraham and Sarah. Among
the Hindops Prana, or the breath. is
the principal primary method Of at
tanning concentration and poise. The
sacred word ON pronounced ah-oo-
m) is simply breathing exercise, In
ducing a peculiarly harmonious action
Of the vocal and respiratory muscles.
Theslong, deep breath (prana nyama)
Of the Hindoo mystics requires ex-
quisite muscular control; and so de-
yelops self command and concentra-
ton.
Among certain savage tribes the sal
utation of respect consists in exhal-
ing gently through the open mouth
upon the forehead of the person sa-
luted. In many languages the words
for God, for life and breath are iden-
tical or show a common origin.
So, among the more intelligent peo-
pies of all ages has the importance OF
the breathing function been recog-
nized.
Modern civilization alone ignores T.
Modern civilization alone impedes and
strangles this most important func-
ton by corsets and belts, by tight
neckwear and coat collars, by breath
ing poisonous air and by sedentary
and indolent indoor lives.
But the man who realizes the i'm
portance of deep, full breathing
once acquires the habit of using a
large area of his lungs in ordinary
respiration, has entered into a new
life OF power and repose. The woman
who has learned that the most i'm
portant act of her life is one that she
perhaps has never thought about-her
breathing-the woman who realizes
this has found the key to power. Her
personality, mental and physical,
gradually changes. The skin be-
comes clearer, the eyes brighten and
the face regains lost contours. The
carriage of the body acquires erect
ness and force; and the voice gains
a new power and compass. Gradual
ly weakness gives place to vitality.
What were formerly severe tasks be-
come pleasurable exercises. So. sim
ply by breathing may the weak wo-
man often become strong, healthy and
beautiful. Through that strength and
beauty she enters into her kingdom
-womans kingdom where, as friend,
sweetheart, wife, mother, she reigns
in serene majesty and infinite power.

A move is on foot for the
erection of a new school build
ing for Woodbine, to cost about
$33, 900. A petition has been
drawn up and will be circulated
and presented to the school
board, which body, if the re-
quired number Of signatures
appear, will order a vote upon
the question. Upon such mat
tiers as this the women have the
right to vote, and also to sign
the petition. "A new building
is certainly needed, and it is to
be hoped the proposition will
go through. Let the voters Of
the district be thinking the mat
ter over so that when the petit
tion is presented all will be
prepared to act. Let us have
a new building, one that is mo.

Basket Ball

The M. V. H. S. was defeated
by the Woodbine Normals in a
game of basket ball on Satur-
day afternoon, last. The score
was 48 to 1G in favor of Wood
bine when time was called.
The game as a whole was good
for two teams playing their
first game. Much credit is due
to high school boys for the
showing they made when we
compare the SIZE of the two
teams. The Eyoodbine team
was composed Of men and not
boys, and so mach taller that it
was almost impossible for the
high school boys to do any,
thing with them. Yet, when
the home boys had the
ball they kept their oppon-
ents guessing as to what they
were going to do next. Wood
bine was out-played in team
work and in accuracy of goal
throwing and would have UNI
doubtedly been defeated if
they had been the size of the
home team. Our boys believe
with a few more weeks of
practice they will be able to re-
verse the score.
The enthusiasm of the spect-
ators was a feature of the
game. They became so ex-
cited at times when the M. V.
H. S. boys were playing srings
around" their opponents they
were standing eve, on the
/ playing space. A return game
will be played at Woodbine
about January 10Th.
