lungs strong. SO that if the germs are
breathed they can do no harm. One OF
the most important things in keeping the
lungs strong Is to keep the chest wide
open SO that the lungs can be properly
used. II rhe body is dropped or stoops, or
if the shoulders are allowed to drag for
ward (round shoulder), or II the head is
carried forward instead of well back over
the shoulders. the chest must be flattened,
the breathing must be shallow and the
lungs, not being freely used, become
weak.
1t is in this type of chest that tuber-
culosis usually begins. The consumptive

ting out upon a pleasing and veraclous
romance did some freakish turns of the
situation and her own lively sense of
humor enter into a conspiracy to waylay
this author and run away with her sense
of plausibility and her gift of quaint ar
tistry? Whichever of these two the case
may be. certain it is that by persistent
all-round overemphasis of personal char
acteristics, of situation and incident of
motive and movement, the little story
stands as a full-fledged farce in place of

tale is a demon of bad temper and worse

imp of childish naughtiness. The white

general eccentricity. The whole thing re-

The letters and diary Of which this record
is made give, in a natural, work-a-day
detail, g. thousand facts about the bust

informing to those outside the rice
regions of the country. With none of the
self-conscious over-to-do of new and tax
ing enterprises. the problems of an en-
numbered estate, of negro labor and the
lesser perplexities of house and farm are
here recorded plainly and tersely. There
is play in these letters, too-play with
