How the Boys Can
Be Made Strong

singers in the world are heard. If you
have you must have noticed that the
men and women alike have chests
that would do credit to prize fighters.
Now, this not due to singing, though
singing is a good thing for the lungs.
1t is because these artists know how
to breathe.
The average man knows no more
about breathing-real breathing-that
he knows about flying. He breathes,
of course. 1t is a habit. 1t is neces.
sary to do so in order to live. But he
breathes jerkily, %unevenly, irregularly.
His lungs are seldom filled and
emptied. He breaths merely with the
top of them; just as the average man
only exercises enough of his countless
muscles to enable him to get through
the days work. The rest may atrophy
for all he knows or cares.
A great doctor once said to me when
l complained of the general ignorance
as to proper breathing:
Il am glad the public know so little
about it. When they learn to breathe
we doctors will lose more than half
our yearly incomes"
If proper breathing is necessary to
the average man it is doubly neces.

Pointers About the Lungs.
Let me tell you, very briefly, one or
two things about your lungs, which
will make it clearer to you why you
should not neglect them. The ordinary
breath passes through only the upper
part of that sponge which we call the
lungs. The lower part of the lungs
thus gets filled with carbonic acid
gas, a very deadly poison which is
quickly taken up by the blood and
carried through the whole system.
Moreover, through lack of exercise,
the lower part of the lungs at last be-
comes unfit to do its work. Every
full breath of fresh, clean air that you

DEMAND CHICORY.
~Foreisn-Born Americans introducing a
New

The steady demand by those who have
emigrated to this country from Europe is
daily creating a greater demand for chic
DRY to improve the flavor of coffee.
1t is a fact not generally known to
Americans that chicory, owing to it's pc
culiar properties, neutralizes harmful eff
fects which result from the drinking of
straight coffee as a beverage.
Now that 1t is becoming SO difficult to
secure coffees at any price which are
really palatable, it is worth emembering
that a mixture of coffee and chicory will
give a beverage which we have dill
find, for the family breakfast, viz, the
same good coffee we so much admire in
first-class restaurants and hotels.
We AVE our European citizens by
adoption to thank for this. Used as they
ave been for more than a hundred years
to add a little chicory to their coffee, this
was a custom that chung to them after
coming to America.
Their constant demand for 1t upon our
merchants led to it's being imported in
largely increasing quantities until one of
the largest foreign firms engaged in pre-
pairing it established great works here in
America.
Since then it's use has widened until
daily. Because it improves the taste Of
coffee and takes away its bad effects.
Leading merchants are now putting up
their package coffees with the addition
Of the proper proportion Of chicory and
plainly labelling the package accordingly.
This inSureS You coffee and chicory Of
the quality that will produce a beverage
like that served in the best hotels and
restaurants.

The cremation of the body of M OF
Manchester's foremost citizens recalls
the fact that this method of dispos-
ing of the dead-which so far, for one
reason or another, has made but little
Roadway with the great mass of the
people-was historically the ordinary
means of %disposing of the dead among
European peoples before the introduc-
ton of Christianity, declares the
Manchester Guardian. In the north
ern part of the continent graves of
the bronze age only contained urns
with the charred ashes. At a later
and historical period cremation pre-
vailed both among the barbarous
Slavs; Celts and Teutons and among
their highly civilized neighbors, tbs
Greeks and Romans, though the
Greeks also practiced earth burials,
and even with the Romans cremation
of the dead did not become quite uni
versal till the end of the republic.
With the spread of Christianity in
humation began to become common
again. There is no reason to doubt

FOR SPRING AND SUMMER TRAD.
Right Kind of Advertising ErtYrgs II
the Customers and Builds Up
Business.

Merchants who get out and present
their lines in the right way are going
to capture the trade. Questions that
the retailers should ask themselves,
are: What am l doing in the way of
advertising? Have l the right kind
of space in my home paper? Have I
the proper style of copy? Have 1
spoken to the printer about getting
up the advertisement tastefully and
with a border, etc., and in the right
kind Of type?
Spring goods should be in show win
dows now, and much of all that is
ready for the buyers.
If the merchant uses a page or a
half page in the local paper, he should
off a thousand or more handbills that
can be circulated about the country.
No use in doing this unless it is the
right kind of advertising. No use in
just saying: Spring goods Of all kinds
at Browns" Such won't bring bust
ness. Give prices, and tell how low
the prices are and how good the goods
are. The advertisement should be so
divided as to give a space to different
kinds Of goods, and some good illustra-
tons, and some prices that will talk,
so when the prospective buyers come
they will not be disappointed. Mer-
chants should see that clerks don't lie,
don't misrepresent, and that they treat
every caller ~courteously. See that de-
liveries of goods are promptly made,
and that in each package there goes
out a circular telling of other bargains.
Now should be the merchants harvest
time. Everybody who has money ex-
poets to spend a goodly share of it.
Don't neglect advertising right. Tell
your patrons that you can secure for
them any kind of goods that they want
If you should happen not to have what
Is inquired for in stock. Your jobber
will take special pains to put up a
small order for you If you tell him
that there is need for it, and will try
to assist you all he can. Now is your
harvest time and make the best OF 1t.

Ancient Temple Discovered.

The oldest temple in the world has
been discovered by explorers ~excavat-
ing at Bismya, in central Babylonia.
The walls of a tower were uncovered,
the summit was cleared, and the first
inscription discovered upon the sur
face Was a brick stamped with the
name of Dungi, of 2750 B. c. A little
lower appeared a crumpled piece of
gold with the name of Naram Sin of
$3.50 B. C. Just below that level were
the large square bricks peculiar to
Sargon of $500 B. G., probably the first
OF the Semitic kings of Babylonia. A
large platform vas discovered 2a
yards below the surface, constructed
of the peculiar convex bricks which
were the building material of $500

Fake Investment Concerns,

Fifty million dollars annually 10 the
amount that is co~nservatively esti.
mated the people of the United States
lose by patronizing fraudulent invest
ment concerns. The government has
been diligently fighting the operations
of all kinds of illegitimate mining com
panies, bond schemes and the like,
still it is a difficult matter to head Oh
their operations. The people are anx
ious to get the greatest returns for
the money they have to invest, and
are too DESTROYS of taking a 'long
chance" If the masses would only
realize that any investment which Is
sound and will pay a fair profit can
easily secure all needed sands for its
operation without calling on the
masses, it would o drive the fake

Even while you read this the

servants, and endure much i'll usage
before showing that they are injured.
Sometimes, it is true, the pent-up
state of the breathing apparatus
eases itself with a yawn. But that is
all. Do you know why people never
yawn in their sleep? Because in sleep
one usually breathes naturally and
the lungs receive involuntary good
treatment.
Deep Breathing Assures Power.
If you can get into the habit of. reg
ular deep breathing your athletic sue
cess is as good as assured. Practice
drawing in long, slow, full breaths.
Hold each breath an instant, then let
it out just as slowly.
This will be a difficult habit, per-
haps, for you to acquire, but when you
see the wonderful good 1t does you
you will think it worth the trouble. II
you are a trife dizzy when you first
try this deep breathing do not be
frightened. Your lungs are merely
telling your brain how surprised they
are at being allowed to work. The dir
ziness will soon pass.
When taking long breaths draw the
breath clear down into the abdomen
before trying to fill the upper lungs.
In other words, in drawing a long
breath throw out the abdomen as we'll
as the chest. If you draw in the alb
domen you force the intestines up
ward and cramp the free action of the
lungs.
Proper deep breathing will not only
greatly increase your chest expansion
but will also harden and strengthen
the abdominal muscles.
1t will incidentally give you a clear
er and stronger brain.
. Why Through NostriIs Only.
Let me caution you once more not
to breathe through your mouth. Your
mouth was made for eating and talk
ing. It. was no more meant to breathe
through than 1t was meant to hold a
cigarette. Breathe always through the
nostrils. When Providence planned
nostrils should convey just the proper
quantity of air to the lungs and at
just the proper temperature, and freed
of such irritating particles of dust as
might injure the sensitive tissue of
the lungs. The air enters the nos
hairs with which they are lined, is
warmed to the temperature of the
body, and in this filtered" condition
is poured into the tender lungs.
Thus far no one has been able to
improve on that system of breathing.
But countless persons suck in great
quantities of unclaimed, unwarmed
air through the mouth and gulp it
down in that condition to the long
suffering lungs.
Do you see now why I lay such
stress on deep breathing and on
breathing solely through the nostrils?

 'One bottle of Peruna which I have taken did more toward relieving me of an aggravated case of cafarrh of The stomach, than years of treatment with the best physicians.

 Peruna is usually taken as last re- sort. Doctors have been tried and failed. Other remedies have been used. Sanitariums have been visited. Travel has been rcsorted to.
 At last Peruna is tried. Relief is found.
 This history is repeated over and over again, every day in the year It is such results as this that gives Peruna it's unassailable hold upon the people. We could say nothing that would add force to such testimonials as the above. That people who have had catarrh and have tried every other remedy avail able, find relief in Peruna, constitutes the best argument that could be made

Five Dollar Counterfeits.

Warnings have been received at To- cal banks from the United States Sc cret Service department calling atten- ton to the fact that a new counterfeit 8 bill is in circulation throughout the middle West and asking bankers to keep sharp lookout for the bogus bills. It is a dangerously correct imi- tation of the $5 silver certificate made by a photogravure process, with red and blue lines substituted for the silk fiber in the genuine bills,
 To aid the public and bankers in detecting the counterfeit. the govern ment experts call attention to the fact that the =" in demand is not formed well and that the second ''e' is a reverse figure ,. The "b'' in pay able is not perfectly formed and the hairlines are missing on the figures "5" and "V."
 The counterfeit is so well executed that it has fooled narge number of money handlers in St. Lotus, Chicago and other cities of the West
 While the quantity in circulation is unknown it is said that certain sec tions of the country are flooded with them.
