You can exhae air through the ears now lust
take a chest full Of air. close the nostrils and
try to exhale The air will come out through the
ears. Muscles OF this old breathing organ have
been out OF practice for few thousand years

In this new but old mode of breathing II will
greatly help against many troubles, as there
would be no chance Of getting infectious matter

Arkansas Governor Frees $50 FeoIns.

Gov. George w. Donaghey yesterday
pardoned 316 state and IA county con-

action was taken as a protest against
the system of leasing convicts in
vogue in Arkansas. The governor
scored magistrates for imposing long

of what he termed disadvantages of
the lease system.
AS result Of the pardons three
state convict camps will be abolished
but several camps where prisoners

Bridge Score With Pencil leashed e
lt 10 New and Very Useful
Invention.

We have grown used to having q
pad for the telephone to which pen.
Gil is fastened by a flexible chain.
Now appears an invention that will
appeal to the distracted hostess-a
bridge score with pencil leashed to it.
This consists of leather pad with
corners like those used on a blotter,
under which the bridge tablet is easily
slipped for frequent removal. At the
top Of the pad is a brass or nickel
standard. with chain attachment for
the pencil. It is 30 flexible that the
pencil can be used at any angle. yet
springs into place when not needed.
Any one who knows the trick pen
ellis have Of getting lost at critical
moments will appreciate this con-
venience.
Another useful novelty for . hostess
who entertains much at cards Is q
small silver pencil sharpener. This.
having q ring at one end. can be At
tached to the pencil standard on the
pad, to save scurrying for . knife or

TO KEEP sHIRTWAIsTs CLEAN
individual BAG for Each Waist solves
Problem That Often Perplsxes
Feminine Mind.

How to keep the freshly Numbered
shirtwaist from getting mussed and
slightly soiled while 1t awaits its turn
to be worn is one Of the perplexities Of
the woman whose quarters are far too
small to accommodate her belongings.
II the supply Of shirtwaists is kept in
box or a drawer, the entire stock
must usually be gone over each time
that one Of the garments Is needed,
but II bag is provided for each one of
the garments, the fingers need not
come into actual contact with any of
them until the time comes for wear.
ing 1t. A half.yard of white cambria,
folded once widthwise, makes a bag
sufficiently large to accommodate the
fullest of lingerie blouses, provided
that the receptacle has a boxed bot
tom made by stirring the two sides on
to an Oblong strip of cloth measuring
two by ten inches. At the top or
mouth the bag Is turned under to the
depth of two inches so that when the
draw-string shirrings are run In there
will be narrow frill finishing. This
opening is the only portion of the bag
which need be handled when looking
for special waist, for one glance into
1t will reveal the character Of its con.
tents. Any blouse which Is ever SO
slightly starched can be placed almost
fatty in one Of these bags. but one
that is of net or wolfe must be braced
with tissue paper. as otherwise the
materials will fall into creases and be-
come shapeless.
