MUSIC AS CURATIVE AGENT
Singing Teaches Correct Breathing

fects on MeIancholia Patients.

Two English physicians of promi.
nence have recently asserted that the
exercise given to the lungs in singing
Is valuable In the prevention and cure
OF diseases Of those organs. They
consider that increased professional
recognition should be extended to this
special therapeutic agency. as advis-
able in cases where pulmonary con-
sumption Is feared.
Singing involves correct nasal
breathing. and this means that the
air admitted to the lungs is prac-
tically germ free. and also the ade-
quate development OF the upper por.
tions OF the respiratory passages. An
other effect Is the maintenance OF the
elasticity and proper expansion Of the
chest. The necessary breathing exer-
cises mean increased functional ac-
tivity OF the lungs Then. there Is
the improved oxygenation OF the
blood, which singing necessarily pro-

inundation Of fat had subsided, and
all his old-time Indian leanness and
litheness of muscle had returned. So,
likewise. did the old slight hollows In
his cheeks come back. For him they
indicated the pink of physical condf-
ton. He became the acknowledged
strong man of Sonoma Valley, the
heaviest litter and hardest winded
among husky race Of farmer folk.
At first, when in need OF ready cash,
he had followed Ferguson's example
OF working at days labor; but he was
not long In gravitating to form OF
work that was more stimulating and
more satisfying. and that allowed him
even more time for Dede and the
ranch and the perpetual riding through
the hills. Having been challenged by
the blacksmith, in spirit of banter,
to attempt the breaking Of a certain
incorrigible colt, he succeeded 30 sig

horse-breaker And soon he was
able to earn whatever money he de-

the wall of the valley and down into

Again they clasped hands, and

expressed his chagrin and asked for

Now and again, on the way home,
Dede could hear her big boy-husband
