Across the street on corner stood
queer looking old man beside a POI

His coat was lined with fur A card

MUSIC AS CURATIVE AGENT
Singing Teaches Correct Breathing
and Lively WaItzes Have Good e.
fects on MelanchoIia 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-
notes.

those musicians who perform on wind
instruments are healthy looking lot
Not many years from now music will
be recognized as a most valuable cur

sanity or morbidity. What tired. over
wrought, distressed man or woman
does not know the value of music
How many beautiful stories could be
told of the power o. music to sustain
and restrain?

had taken his place. The threatened
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 condi-
ton. He became the acknowledged
strong man of Sonoma Valley, the
heaviest litter and hardest winded
among a 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 a spirit Of banter,
to attempt the breaking of certain
incorrigible colt, he succeeded SO sig
nally as to earn quite a reputation as
a horse-breaker. And soon he was
able to earn whatever money he de-
sired at this, to him. agreeable work.
His life was eminently wholesome
and natural. Early to bed. he slept
like an infant and was up with the
dawn. Always with something to do.
and with a thousand little things that
enticed but did not clamor, he was
himself never overdone. Nevertheless.
there were times when both he and
Dede was not above confessing tired
ness at bedtime after seventy or eighty
miles in the saddle. Sometimes. when
he had accumulated n little money,
and when the season favored. they
would mount their horses. with sad
dle-bags behind. and ride away over
the wall of the valley and down into
the other valleys.
