The Breath of Life

OF all the physical acts of life,
breathing Is undoubtedly the most
important. The more we breathe
the more we live. Throughout
all animal life. from the mouse
which breathes $50 times a min
ute to the elephant which
breathes six times a minute. one
rule holds good-the larger and
stronger the animal the more
slowly and deeply he breathes.
The great men of all ages. all
countries and in all lines of hui
man effort have been great
breathers, deep-preasted, full
breathing. powerful. Cromwell,
Luther. Napoleon. Washington,
Webster. Lincoln. Roosevelt-alI
these are examples of the big
breasted. deep-breathing type of
men.
No organs are so easily devel-
oped as the lungs, and no organ
will give better returns for the
time and effort required for ex-
ercise.
Stand easily, arms hanging.
Nov slowly inhale full, deep
breath, at the same time raising
the arms out at the sides until
the back of the hands meet above
your head (See Fig. ID Then,
without holding breath, exhale,
lowering the arms.
Stand with hands at the sides
of the waist. Now bend forward,
at the same time inhaling full,
deep breath. and note that the
waist expands. Exhale on rising.
While walking take a full, deep
breath. and hold it for a certain
number of steps. A months faith
full practice of these simple exer-
cises win add several inches to
your chest girth.

THE HELPERS OF SANTA CLAUSE.

In the big shops of Nurem-
burg, that quaint old city in Ger
many where many dollies are
made, there was great hustle and
confusion. Why?, of course you
can guess! Because Santa Claus
will soon have to send them on
long journeys to reach the little
boys and girls on Christmas morn
ing.
Up at Santa's ice palace in the
far north many sprites and fairies
are now at work planning Christ
mas cheer, as old Santa has so
many children on his lists he must
have many helpers. Thus Nurem-
burg was chosen as the city for
toy factories. And there were
many shops filled with dollies of
all sizes and kinds. Some in
boxes all ready for their long
journey to America on the big
