The mouth breather can't throw out
the chest. keep the head up and the
step elastic. She can't breathe properly
and naturally through open lips. But
she can drink the germs, with which
the close air of car is filed, into her
system, subjeCting herself to colds, and
pulmonary troubles.
Habit Formed ETN
In Childhood.
Mouth breathing is usually a habit
formed in childhood days. And those
are the days for its correction. 1t
may be due to some throat trouble;
adenoids, enlarged tonsils or something
similar. A little careful watching of
the children in your home will soon
prove to you whether or not they
breathe naturally through the nose. II
you find that they do not you will be
most wise to take them to a doctor for
the correction of any obstruction that
may be forming for them the most per-
nicfous habit of mouth breathing.
See that their sleeping rooms are
filled with fresh. pure air, and that they
grow up in such an atmosphere, inhal-
ing it through their noses, if you want
them to grow into manhood and woman
hood with healthy minds and bodies.
And the adult who has already ac-
Quired the mouth-breathing habit sub
jects herself to unpardonable neglect IL
she does not correct it. Every woman
can soon discover whether the mouth
breathing is an unnecessary habit or
otherwise concentrating her atten-
ton upon her breathing a little while.
II Sba finds that she can breathe with
out difficulty through her nostrils with
closed lips she may know that the
mouth breathing habit may easily be
overcome with a little thoughtful at
tenuon.
But If she finds that the breath is
taken laboriously through the nose, and
that she must open her lips to fill her
lungs, she should consult her physician
at once and speedily relieve the cause of
the mouth breathing habit, for no wom-
all can be either well or lovely who Is
mouth breather.

Fortunately the oId-fashioned spare

1t is so. Guests are no longer left to
shiver in its closed and unfriendly shad-

horrors of Photographic art which
haunted its walls. nor to toss in despair
upon its more or less furrowed bed.
The metamorph0sis of the spare"

other Of the delightful improvements
Of modern life. The modern room has
now become a thing Of joy. A clever
hostess, instead of making it a receiving
room for every family horror, now
strives to fill it with all that is sooth-
Ing and artistic
A charming scheme for such a room
is in mauve and gray. The paint should
be of ivory and the family patterned
paper have a frieZe of drowsy mauve
poppies and the rug have cream and
mauve tones.
This scheme is not so expensive as one
might think, for good mauve and green
pottery can be had at low prices, while
mauve and green-patterned chintzes are
easy to get.
Little landscapes, which tone in with
the color scheme, should be hung on
the walls in narrow ivory or silver
frames. well-appointed writing desk

every guest room, as well as little
framed card stating post and meal

PADUCAR, Tenn, June 17.-One of the large excursion steamers here on the river caught fire while loaded with passengers for an outing up the river
 The steamer had not gone many miles before it was discovered the boat was all afire below decks where cotton and other freight was stored.
 The passengers became panic strick- en, and were going to jump overheard to escape the flames which the pumps did not seem to get control of.
 Heading the vessel for the banks, at a point few hundred yards up stream where he knew the water was deep enough to make landing the captain from the bridge gave out orders that sounded criminal.
 ''The first person who leaps into the river before We reach the bank over wonder. gets bullet from this revolv- CT" shouted the captain through the smoke that was rising in thick clouds above him.
 The passengers huddled together and thought he had gone mad from seeing his steamer in the death grip of the fire demon. But he kept the boat headed for the bank and repeated his order while the paint was blistering from the heat of the fire below and around him
 After the vessel had reached the bank and the passengers escaped with out damage he walked ashore and the boat was soon one mass of flames.
 When asked why he had given such orders, and would shoot the first per- son that attempted to jump into the river he stated:
 with the swift current running out there in the middle of the stream it meant sure death to an ywho took to the water. I knew we could reach the bank in time and did not care to lose one soul aboard the boat. The panic stricken condition the passengers were getting into required some such act on my part to keep them from jumping to a watery grave"
