Expanding the Lunas.

Step into the purest air you can
find. stand perfectly erect, with head
and shoulders back and then, fixing
the lips as If you were going to whis-
tie, draw the air through the lips into
the lungs. When the chest is about
half full, gradually raise the arms,
keeping them extended, with the
palms of the hands down, as you suck
in the air, so as to bring them over
the head just as the lungs are quite
full. Then drop the thumbs inward.
and after forcing the arms backward
and the chest open. reverse the pro.
cess by which you draw your breath
until the lungs are empty. This pro-
cess should be repeated Immediately
after bathing, and several times dur
ing the day. 1t is impossible to de-
scribe to one who has never tried It

lows this exercise.

MAID OF ORLEANS
Joan of Arc Placed On Calendar ot
The Blessed.

The Minneapolis Journal of last
Monday had the following apprcciative
tribute in it's editorial columns to
Joan of Arc, the French maiden bea-
titled by the church the day before:
Joan of Arc is now saint OF the
Roman Catholic church. Pope Plus x,
In an impressive ceremony at the Vati-
can Sunday, admitted her to the cal.
cndar of saints Of the church.
But before yesterday the Maid of
Orleans has been saint of the world
Heroine Of France as she was, she has
been for some centuries now heroine OF
all humanity. Her story is one OF the
few great romanccs OF the world. Her
character stands out upon the soiled
pages Of time perfect and sublime.
Terrible captain Of war that she was,
We do not associate her in our minds
with Judith and Brunhilda, but with
Ruth OF the Old Testament. The
gentle Lorraine peasant girl, who
pastoral duties, not the mailed leader
in the assault upon Orlcans-as such
imagination sees her.
In all history there is no such other
story. 1t has captivated geniuses so
wide apart as German Schiller and our
own Mark Twain. 1t has been the
theme Of q thousand artists. Even
such an uncompromising realist as
Bastien-Lepage has endeavOred to
raint her vision. That great poets
should feel her inspiration is natural
enough, but that a man Of such 1.
skeptical intelligence, such a shrewd
imagination as Mark Twain should
yield himself unreservedly to her
charm Of purity and truth shows the
universal and sincere quality Of her
power.
"She was called by God to defend
her country" said the pope yesterday.
and accomplished a feat that the
whole world believed to be impossible"
And the world has never been able to
explain it since. The English under
two great kings had conquered France.
Edward III, with $4,000 men. had over
thrown French army Of 100000 at
Crecy. And Henry v, at Agincourt.
+! Rad opened his way to Paris. France
had been ravaged hundred years by
! war Her great mobiles were allies Of
the English, her king was a poltroon,
her agriculture was dead, her treas
Try was empty. II ever country lay
under the heel Of conquerer, it was
France.
Nevertheless, the peasant girl, who
had never seen an army, who had had
no experience of royal courts or cour-
tiers or captains or government Or
leadership. reused the king, defeated
his courtiers, raised an army and in
spired it; went against the English
under such experienced generals as
Talbot and the Duke of Bedford. and
in an incredibly brief time swept them
back into Normandy.
The genius Of Napoleon is to be un-
cerstood. even the amazing perform
ances of Frederic, but the achievements
Of Joan are incredible.

and Put to Use-will Prolong
Life.

Chicago, Jan. 3.Dr. j. G. Siebel,

ence, that he has discovered q meth
cd of generating energy within the

This work, he said, is the prolonga-
tion Of life through additional vital
ity supplied to the human body work
as its own electrical generator.
DR.. Siebel announced that nutri-
tive elements such as alcohol, sugar
and fats, during their consumption
by the human body, act as genera
tors of electricity in miniature bat
teries that comprise the muscular
structure Of the human frame. He
declared that he has succeeded In
the construction Of batteries on. a
working scale, in which the nutritive
elements necessary to form connec-
tion between the batteries and the
