Why Grumble? There's No Excuse Around This
Piano Store-and We're New Concern at That.
Entertaining If Not Interesting Facts About Our
System of Piano Selling

Certainly IL a brand new piano
house can open it's doors during
the month of August, and get
we'll into black ink within less
than sixty days, this should be re-
garded as some criterion as to con-
ditions generally in Tacoma. We
must all admit that piano, while
not altogether luxury Though so
considered by some) is thing
which under adverse conditions
Ipeople will postpone buying until
the last minute. II Is a dispen-
sable thing. But modern ne
cessity from the view point of the
educational. The point is this:
Business has been good with us
practically from the outset. We
have sold more pianos since open
ing this store than we should have
anticipated if we were prone to
listen to what lot of folks try
to tell us about hard times. If
"times are hard in Tacoma we
can't see it.
"Lucky"-did we hear some one
say? Now listen! There's no
such thing as luck. Our business
is the result of two things only.
A demand for good pianos at right
Jprices, and our ability to supply
that demand most acceptably. OF
course we are working. But this
anyone can and should do. Get
right into the harness and go
after business as though you were
confident of finding it and the
business will be there. Standing
around the street corners, in the
club room, on the street car, in
the barber shop, at home, in fact,
anywhere one happens to be con-
ltinuously talking about the
"HARD TIMES" is not going to
get one anything nor make others
feel bit more comfortable.
Cheer up! There's plenty of peo-
lple in Tacoma buying pianos, and

tainly can afford most anything
else. Why, we sold three pianos

WORK OF THE LUNGS.
What Has Happened When an Athlete
Gets MINDED" {

what mas Happened Wusn AT TNii'~--
Gets "Winded." :
The football match is stopped. "Man
hurt" "Take time off''-these are the
expressions to be heard when a player
IS "winded." But why has he col
lapsed? Why IS he gasping for air?
A few facts concerning the lungs will
explain matters.
You have 200 cubic inches Of air IN
your chest and you only breathe out
at each expiration about twenty to
thirty Of these Try as hard as you
can, you are unable to breath out all
the air. It would be bad for you If you
could, for your lungs are in kind OF
bag. Prick this, and the lungs col
lapse
The footballer has had too much air
knocked out of him. No wonder he
gasps. for the atmosphere is pressing
on his chest at the rate Of fifteen
pounds to the square inch. He has
lost some Of the air inside which
should press against the pressure out
side.
What about the work Of the lungs?
Suppose the word Laundry" is used
instead That is just the idea. The
impure blood travels to the lungs quite
dark red in color. The reason is that
It contains much carbonic acid gas.
Try breathing through a tube into
some limewater. Notice the clean wa
ter becomes milky. This gas is con
tinually passing from the blood into
the lungs.
You have to breathe six or eight
times before the air reaches the bottom
Of the lungs. The first breath only
gets to your collar stud. The oxygen
YOU have inspired meets some caFbonic
acid gas, and they change places.
Down the oxygen goes till it meets
the air cells. Imagine a prison cell
with a transparent door The blood,
as it were, can see the oxygen. Right
through the skin wall the oxygen
passes. The caFbonic acid gas also
passes out into the lungs to be ex-
pired.
What is the blood taking away
Your blood is full Of small live bodies
-eorpuscles-and these viii take al
much oxygen as you can give them
The blood is so happy when 1t obtains
some Of this gas that it changes IT'S
color from dark to light red. Away 1t
goes round the body and in a minute
or two comes back to the lungs with
a fresh cargo Of impure gas.
In one day you breathe out 1900
cubic inches Of this impure gas. Weigh
It. and there are six ounces Of solid
carbon. There Is enough material for
a dozen lead pencils. Put this fact in
, another way.
You viii breathe out in one year 1877
pounds Of solid matter, perhaps as
much as you weigh.
Where does it all go2' you ask.
What about the trees and shrubs?
They are principally made Of carbon.
Perhaps a tree contains some parts Of
what was once man.
A microscope viii show you holes on
the under side Of a leaf. At certain
times Of the day this breathed out gas
from human beings enters and passes
into the interior of the leaf.
Now, a leaf IS green because It con-
tains millions Of chlorophyl bodies.
These take the carbonic acid gas
eat, If you viii, the carbon-and set
the oxygen free to be rebreathed By
uan.-Pearson's Weekly.
