NEW TYPES OF RESPIRATION
Breathing Exercises That Are Said
by Medical Experts to Be of
Great Value.

An interesting explanation of the
different types of breathing is given
in the Medical Record. The writer
says:
THE normal type of breathing ex-
lists in children of both sexes up to
the age when the lives of girls and
boys begin to differ and their dress to
change. Then, owing to the donning
of the corset the type of respiration in
the girl becomes entirely superior, cos
tai or diaphragmatic, while that of her
brother remains of the inferior costal
type, the normal and desirable one.
Maurice Faure, in the Gazrtte des
Hopitaux, brings out these It's in an
Interesting way
Because the corset i,nmobiIizes the
lower part of the thorax the woman's
type is the costal. 1t results from a re-
preston, a degeneration of the normal
type. The primary object of respira-
tory education is to cause the child to
preserve its costal respiration and

Berkeley, Cal.-His condition border
fng on nervous collapse and hardly
abee to tell the story of his terrible
experience, G. Herbert Masters. a
young mining engineer, who was
member of Borax lake expedition in
which Charles Stracher Davidson,
graduate of the University of Califor-
MIA Mining college, lost his life in the
intense heat recently, has returned to
his home in this city. He left FIVE
others of the party at Randsburg after
the burial of Davidson in a rude desert
grave on the shore of the lake, where
he met his death. All of the others
suffered terribly, but reached camp
after twenty-four hours of torture in
the broiling sun.
I'VE arrived at Randsburg and start
ed on our trip across Borax lake"
said Masters 1.-The lake is a mud de-
posit covered by heavy crust. Our
objective point was an old camp on
the opposite shore, where we believed
We would find prospectors. When we
began drawing our line Davidson was

terrific. A little later he collapsed

about fifty feet, fell on his face One
of the boys went back to him. He
died shortly afterward.
"One by one we followed a course
toward the opposite shore. When I
arrived discovered that there was no
water. After several hours we found
an old WE'LL but the water was sui
phurous and salty and at the bottom
was a dead rattlesnake. Two of the
original party of seven had gone to
Randsburg for batteries when we
started on the trip across the lake and
that left four of us huddled together

In the morning before sunSise we
took a roundabout trail skirting the
lake. When halfway across we met
an automobile party and were carried
the rest of the way in the machine.
That afternoon we went on the
seething mud lake again and got the
body of Davidson. The boys made a
rough pine box and we gave George
the most decent burial we could give.
His grave is out there in the sun. near
the place where he died. The others
of the party are used up. but they will

A Doubtful Member.

In Miss Woods kindergarten class
there were eight pupils, four girls and
four boys. One of the boys, however.
had not yet reached the estate of kits,
not to mention trousers. Accordingly,
when little Susan Phelps was asked by
a visitor to tell how many boys and
how many girls there were, her con-
fused reasoning went as follows:
There's eight, one, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight, Miss Elliott" she
replied. And If he's a girl'-she
pointed at one who wore dresses In
stead of manly garb-"why, there's
five girls, and one, two, three boys.
But if she's a boy, there's one, two,
three, four girls, and one, two-four
boys. She's really a boy, you know,
Miss Elliot she confided, in conclu-

make use of both the diaphragm and
the ribs. The necessary object is to
maintain the respiratory interval, and
expand the chest. 1t is a mistake to
suppose that because man is an ath,
lete therefore he breathes well. A
man may be a good athlete and a bad
breather.
Singing and blowing may be added
to the other exercises. A permanent
increase in the expansion of the chest
may be obtained by exercises. All
sorts of exercises that develop the
movements Of the trunk are valuable.
Extension and fiexion of the trunk.
and of the limbs with the body fixed
both in the dorsal position and stand
ing, are valuable.
"Acrobatic gymnastics are useless
and may be injurious as far as increas-
ing respiration is concerne.. They
tetanize the thoraX and develop the
muscles of the arms rather than those
of the thorax. Graduated exercises of
the shoulders. trunk and thorax are in
dispensable."

Merely a Prevaricator.

A doctor relates the following story:
81 had patient who was very i'll and
who ought to have gone to a warmer
climate so l resolved to try what hyp-
notism would do for him. had a
large sun painted on the ceiling of his
room and by suggestion induced him
to think it was the sun which, would
cure him. The ruse succeeded, and
he was getting better rapidly when
enc day on my arrival found he was
dead"
Did it fail, after all, them" asked
one of the doctors hearers.
NO." replied the doctor, 'he died

lace at neck and elbows, and will be

coat, and it will not last. 1t has its
advantages, and l see no reason why
it should not have fair trial when

SO that there is row of fabric-cover-

by a loose girdle. Many of the new

Moreover, simple defining embroid-
cry will do great deal; and there is
always the sash, appropriately draped
and fastened at shoulder and knee.
And the applied strip of embroidery
over net, or of braiding, or dress
goods figured in contrasting color
to the plain fabric, always succeeds
In its effects, especially when the
whole skirt is vertically plated in
wide folds and the appliqued band
reaches entirely to the low-cut neck.

not to undo the effect, laboriously

more clearly than you do yourself, though we hope that isn't so.
 Since truth is the only thing worth while, the kind of magic mirror that really is needed is one that will show you not your ideal of yourself, not the ideal of yourself cherished by your loved ones, not the plain and somewhat tarnished vision of you held by your friends, and not the distorted conception of you that your enemies see-none of these, but your real self. That is kind of magic mirror that hasn't yet been in vented, and if it ever is invented there are go- ing to be some great surprises. It's frankness will seem cruelty to some, and they will hate it; while there are many plain, humble, unseIish souls who have given little time to thinking of themselves, but who will see vision in that magic mirror that will surprise them with its beauty. They will see themselves, these modest souls, as the angels see them.

THE MAGIC MIRROR

A current magazine picture shows an exceed ingly homey girl gazing admiringly into look ing glass, where she sees the reflection of a graceful, beautiful, winsome lass.
 What a fine kind of mirror that would be to possess!
 And yet, isn't that the kind of mirror most people have? And isn't it very wise and very kind contrivance that this is so!
 Even those who know that they are plain, be- cause kind friends and relatives are at great pains to leave them under no deusions as to their own personal appearance, may sometimes, in secret look into their magic mirror and say: "After all, you're not so bad; there are lots worse looking than you aren'

 But nobody, of course, sees himsef-or her self-as others do. This matter of the real ego is curious thing anyway. Take yourself, for instance. Which is the real self the one you see the one your wife or husband sees, the one your friends see, the one your enemies see, or the one strangers see? Here are five separate and distinct people; just as separate as John is from Jim, or Mary from Ethel. Which is the real personality? The answer is: none of them and all of them.
 Your own tendency is to see yourself as you would like to be, not as you are. The tendency of those who love you is to see you as they have idealized you, not as you are. Probably, on the whole. your friends and strangers see the real person more clearly than do you or your loving kin. It even may be that your enemies see you

THE DEMOCRATIC HOPE

The speeches mdue JnrOuSnOuC Jne country at Jefferson Day banquets make it very clear that the democrats of the nation are in a very hopeful mood They are confident of gaining control of the house of representatives, and they are very sanguine indeed about the pros poets of gaining the presidency in 1912.
 And surely there is good reason for these hopes.
 The republican party stands convicted before the bar of public opinion of high crimes and misdemeanors richly meriting the punishment of defeat.
 It's organization is in the complete control of the agents of interests which profit inordinately and unfairly at the peoples expense It's eff forts are bent to the service of these interests, and not to the service of the people. It's be- havior is shameless So arrogant has it be- come that it even has dared to secure new lease of power upon pledge of tariff revision which it never meant to redeem. It has fooled the people by an equivocal promise the spirit of which, if not its letter, has been broken shame lessly.
 Why, under these conditions shouldn the democratic party indulge in glowing hope?
 It may be that the drift of public opinion is not so much toward democracy as away from repubcanism. Yet unless the people wish to continue the shameless and brutal misrule of the republican party, which puts corporation menas in its highest places and provide pres- dent who is spinelessly amenable to their uses, where are they to turn for relief if not to the democratic party?
 Chastened by defeat, purified by long ab- stinence from the feshpots of political power, the democratic party ought to be in position to afford relief to the oppressed people. If the .locll T because the democratic party has been divided by dissensions, which was to be expected after four successive defeats in presidential elections The prospect of prosperity will tend to cement the fractures in the party, and to spur it into reorganization that will enable it to present a united front to the enemy.
 Beyond question great many people have be- come doubtful of both parties. The democratic party has men in congress who are as faithful to the interests" as any Aldrich, though less powerful than he. Yet it must not be overlook ed that these men are quite as conspicuousIy in the minority in their party as are the Gin surgents.
 Some people believe that neither of the old party organizations will be able to solve the problems of the fight between people and priv ilege, and that new party composed of the pro- gressive elements of both the old parties is needed.
 But it is altogether likely that the democratic party will be given another chance before the existing political organizations are thrown up in the air and new party is formed out of the debris. The democratic party has been out of power long enough to masquerade as new broom. A new broom sweeps clean; and cer- tainly this country is greatly ill need of a clean sweeping
