THE IMPORTANCE OF
 CORRECT BREATHING

OUuuLUI UuLn lIllvU
 In all this pursuit of youth and beauty there is nothing more neces- sary to success than health. and health is very much m re dependent lpon the correct method of breath ing than the majority of us realize. The blood depends upon it for it's vitality and the brain for it's men, tai vigor, and yet We go about wth shost walls dropped upon the deli ate cells of the lungs. with tight clothing pressing the wer ribs and breathe and rebrea he vitiated, un- rholesome air.

 Place the finger tips of both hands lightly together on the chest. inhale and measure your chest expansion and the fitness of your breath by he intervening space between the two sets cf fingers.

Exhale slowly. Most persons. f they inhale slowly, exhale or let the breath out with a gasp. It is good idea, therefore when you first begin ais prartice of correct breathing to count 1-2-3 as you 'nhale. 1-2-3 as you hold, and l. 2-3 as you exhale thus making the action rhythmical and even.

IRON BEDSTEADS.

For renovating an iron bedstead that has become shabby looking, the following method is very good, says a New York Press contributor. First rub all the iron parts over with a cloth dipped in paraffin. Then with a brush and can of white enamel paint all ever the bed; then let it dry, and your bedstead will look like new.
