Meaning Of "kalamazoo."

A contraction OF an Indian phrase
descriptive Of the stones seen through
the water in its bed, and which, from
a retroactive power in the current, re-
semble offers swimming beneath the
surface. Such Is the explanation, and
the only one, as far as know, that
has been given, Of the meaning Of the
word Kalamazoo, and the author Of
this remained unknown to me until a
short time ago, when I accidentally
discovered that it was H. r. School,
craft The fact is that the
alleged word negikanamazoo given by
Schoolcraft is a deliberate alteration
by him Of kikalamazo, written by the
French at a period when some dialect
of Ojibwa, to which the word belongs,
was still using the letter l. It is a
slight livery slight alteration Of old
Ojibwa kikalamozo, meaning he is in
convenienced by smoke in his lodge"

II said nothing, but at once ordered
a package OF Postum. That was five
months ago, and we have drank no
when we had company. and the result
each time was that my husband could
not sleep, but lay awake and tossed
and talked half the night. We were
convinced that coffee caused his suf-
fering, so we returned to Postum, con.
vinced that the coffee was an enemy,
instead of friend. and he is troubled
no more by insomnia.

Two English physicians OF promi

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

Singing involves correct nasal
breathing. and this means that the
air admitted to the lungs is prac'
ticaily germ free. and also the ade

other effect is the maintenance OF the
elasticity and proper expansion OF the
chest The necessary breathing exer

the improved oxygenation or the
