Deep Breathing as a Cure.

a writer in Harper's Bazaar tells of
being unable to sleep because of pains
from rheumatism and neuralgia. It
hui is him terribly to rise or even to
turn over. AS forlorn hope he tried
slow and deep breathing, after which,
to his establishment, he enjoyed sound,
comfortable and refreshing sleep.
Also, there is recorded the case of a
man who applied for life insurance
and was rejected by the medical exami-
ner on account of small chest expan-
sion. Scared, he started on course
of deep breathing. Getting out in
the open air at every opportunity, he
made it practice to occupy five or
ten minutes daily in initiating and de-
aating his lungs. In six months he
had cultivated real chest expansion,
and he made the applications for life
insurance over again, this time with
success. Also, he had rid himself of
much i'll health, possibly warded off
incipient lung trouble, and he felt
much better all around.
A neglected organ is likely to be-
come a weak and inefficient organ, in
viting the inroads of disease. Thou
sands of people don't breathe enough.

no physical exercise, and who has a

inch or two, and that perhaps in only
one way instead of all around the
chest, can't be physically we'll. Ger
tainly he is not physically equipped to
throw o # the disease germs with whichhe
may come in contact constantly.
Circulation has an intimate connec
ton with lung efficiency, too; so that

A Passing Opportunity.

Anent the steps taken by the State
Bankers association to urge the farm
ers' boys to stay on the farms, it is
proper to remark that most of the
boys who don't take this advice will
regret that their sires did not hold on
to their land. Land is the one thing
on this earth that is strictly limited in
quantity, and is on the whole the
most precious property possession.
The laboring people of England al
lowed themselves to be dispossessed
of their land hundreds of years ago.
The land passed into the possession of
the wealthy and became the basic sup
port of the nobility. AS consequence
the actual tlllers Of the soil in Eng
land are mainly tenants or farm Ia
borers. Few of them are rich and
most of them live from hand to mouth
constantly facing want.
In France, through the absence of
the laws of primogeniture and entail,
and the universal thrift of the labor
ing classes, the peasants, since the
revolution, have been able to reclaim
much of the land that was formerly
monopolized by the nobility, and as a
consequence the French farmers, on
the average, are the most prosperous
farmers in the world. There are
thousands and thousands of French
families who cultivate their own acres
instead of renting; and although the
holdings are often very small, they
give the owners an independent stand
ing far above that of renters or farm
saborers.
The land of the United States is be-
ing rapidly appropriated. Vast as is
ats area our future population will
overrun it and make it scarce. There
is no land of so little value that its
ownership will not be coveted in the
future. Those who hold onto land
will have a sure means of livelihood.
Farming in this country is now a very
different proposition from what it was
even generation ago. It is in the
aggregate mere scientifcan business
like, and more profitable.
Men of the best brains and energy
will gravitate more and more towards
agriculture. It is time for farmers
boys and other boys to look ahead
and get their hooks in the soil. Mpls.

as he should is not giving his hear
the exercise it needs to prepare it tc
Withstand sudden strain; also enfee
bled circulation is likely to make fol
enfeebled organs; sluggish liver, a
lazy stomach, with consequence likely
to be ultimately serious.
In physical exercise the lungs are
brought into full play, and proper
breathing comes naturally. The heart
is thus given wholesome exercise-pro-
vided, always, that the physical bodi-
ly exercise is not more strenuous than
the condition of the system will war
rant-so that the circulation is brisk
enough to carry off impurities and
revivify the body.
Deep breathing is good, but the best
way to get it is naturally, by the way
of wholesome physical exercise. You
can't do better than to start in with
walking, which is the best and cheap
est and most satisfying all-'cound ex-
ercise yet invented. AS you walk, fill
your lungs with the splendid outdoor
air, the best medicine on earth. Don't
overdo this deep breathing business,
however. Go easy on it at the start if
you haven't been used to it. If you
hold your breath too long you will
find yourself getting dizzy; which
shows that your lungs need exercise
and that you don't want to start in
too stren:ously. Take long, slow,
comfortable drafts of fresh air, and
let it out slowly. Do it while you
walk; and walk every day. You can
increase your lung expansion, add
tone to your system, and feel better
and be ttertherefor. Duluth Her aid !.

AS tension expresses itself in bodily
movements, we must first learn muscu-
lar control. Relaxation means let
ting go, and while we are learning to
let go we are getting ourselves trained
to take hold again when the time
comes. For relaxation teaches far
more than rest.
First, it enables us to do what we
will with our own bodies, and to do it
easily.
Second, it is the basis of grace and
beauty, free joints being necessary for
all easy movements. In walking it is
the free hip that permits the athletic
swing of the legs, and the relaxed
shoulder that lets the arm hang as it
should at the side. The willowy
movements of the Orientals, the
salaams and kow-tows and rhythmic
dancing, show the power to relax,
which, of course, is increased by the
warmer climate.
Third, relaxation teaches US to con-
serve the energy by using only the
part of the body necessary. One may
stand still while waiting; let the chair
hold him while sitting; stoop by bend
ing the legs instead of the back: lie
with all muscles relaxed when sleeping
instead of rigidly.
In vain people try to attain a calm
manner with a tense body. When we
have relaxed the muscles at will we
may easily become quiet in manner
and peaceful in spirit. The bodily
condition is the basis of real rest.
We will not hurry when We know
the danger to the nervous system;
when we realize fully that we gain
power by working quietly; when we
believe that we are living in Eternity
now. Then we can say with the poet,
whose life is lived close to the world

Observation-Disclosures it be Cured?

Hurry is the devil" says an Ara
bian proverb. Although we under
stand that the Oriental has a consti-
tutional prejudice against haste, it
might be we'll for us to consider the
above proverb seriously applied to
ourselves as a nation. The morning
paper gives US a daily list of deaths
by suicide, apoplexy and insanity
men in the prime of life rushing into
eternity, desperate because they are
left behind in the race, or driven mad
by the rush of the business world.
What is the matter? Is it the
changing climate that stimulates the
nervous system to abnormal activity?
Is it the struggle for money? Is it the
desire to emulate others, or is it
habit?
A distinguished foreigner in writing
his impressions of us says that we are
not accomplishing anything more than
if we were quiet; that we are doing it
merely to give the impression OF &C.
tivity. We take ourselves too serious
". The woman who futters about,
creating confusion, is not the one who
is doing the most work in the world.
Hurry means physical tension some
where, and exhaustion afterward.
Hurry suggests bad planning or care
less execution. Hurry means loss OF
dignity and power. Hurry means
fear, and fear is the greatest enemy to
success.
Can we stop hurrying? Some
answer that We must keep up with the
procession or drop out entirely. Let
us see if we can not conserve our
strength, at least in small ways. Let
us take thought and begin to reform.

ion and inability to make definite and

ton and inability to make definite and
accurate statements. In quite intel
ligent manner he treats of the two
functions of modern newspapers-that
of gathering the news and commenting
thereon and shows that owing to the
great news gathering agencies the
average newspaper is precluded from
coloring the news even if it desired to
do so. He goes further to show that
practically all newspapers are care
full in their comments and for the most
part merely reflect public opinion.
Indeed, his main criticism of the press
is aimed at the headline writer's of
certain section of our big city dailies,
who inject misleading and sensational
matter into the captions which is not
borne out by the text. From this he
goes on to pay tribute to the count
ry press that is the more gratifying in
that it comes from so high source.
He says:
AS has already been intimated, the
question of the responsibility of jour
nalism in International aft airs is quite
as important for the smaller papers,
including the weeklies, as for the
larger, and in the United States it is
even more important. These papers
have very large total circulation.
They are usually read more deliber-
ately, with closer attention, and enter
more intimately into the minds and
the lives of their readers. Their in
depreciation of current events may not
carry more weight, but they make
more continuous and probably a more
effective impression. On the whole,
the contents of these papers cores
pond to this view of their function.
They are less ephemeral and sensa-
tional. It was these journals that DR..

Cuddy-Cavanaugh and the Con-
tract.

There is we'll founded excitment
and apparent dissatisfaction among
the workingmen who we're engaged by
the Cuddy-Cavanaugh Co. to lay the
pipe line to Hermann heights, on &C.
count of this firm failing in paying
the wages due for labor. Taking
mere legal aspect of the situation no
body is to be blamed for this deplor-
able condition but the contractors
who are SO financially embarr assed
that an absolute assignment will fol-
low. The only recourse the working
men can take is to hold themselves to
the Bonding Co. who is responsible
for the strict fulfillment of the con-
tract. Neither the former council
under whose administration the con-
tract was entered into, nor the present
council who paid out every cent of the
amount to Cuddy-Cavanaugh should
be censured.
At the last regular..council meeting
the completed work of laying the pipe
line on Center Str. was Iaccepted and
ordered paid The amount due the
contractors under the contract was
S694.50. For this amount Cuddy-
Cavanaugh received check. For the
faithful performance of work, the
furnishing of all material and labor,
the contractors furnished, as re-
quired by law, bond..in the sum
OF the contract price, guaranteeing the
payment of all material and labor for
the city and it appeared that the con-
tractors had completed the:work under
the contract to the satisfaction of the
city council, having received their
money failed to pay the laborers and
still owe them wages in the sum of
several hundred dollars. The working
men are protected by the bond. It
must also be remembered that there
was no provision in the contract,
Whatever, that permitted the city to
retain any money and pay the labor
ing men. This is the legal side of it.
Looking at it from the viewpoint of
moral obligation we have no doubt,
but what every councilman, the mayor
and city attorney will gladly render
any assistance in helping. the labor
ing men to get what is dueIthem.

Salary and Emoluments of the
President.

When we read of the expenses OF the
White House we are impressed with
the idea that few of US understand the
workings of our government. We do
not know what fund those expenses
come from, under whose care it is, who
audits and allows bills, or, in fact,
anything about it. The ordinary
citizen believes that the president gets
a salary of $4,000 year and the
White House to live in, and that is
| about all there is to it. That is all
there was to it up to the time of Presi-
dent Grant, when the presidents sala-
ry was raised from S25, 900 year to
$50, 600, and many other perquisites
thrown in, apparently without legisla-
ton, but by the mere dictum of the
president or some one else. Now the
salary of the president is 5000 and
the perquisites are almost beyond COM
putation. This knowledge has been
brought to the attention of the country
