MUCH VIRTUE IN GOOD YAWN
Beneficial Exercise, Though II Might
Be Well for One to Select the
Time and Place.

Yawning may be rufe-especially In
company-but it is a good thing for
you to do.
For one thing. 1t ventilates the
lungs. When you take an ordinary
breath the lungs are not completely
filIed, nor are they thoroughly emptied
by an ordinary respiration. There is
a certain quantity of air left In the
lungs always, which psychologists call
residual air."
This air in time becomes foul and
affects the blood. and through the
blood the nervous centers. Certain
nerves get tickled, as 1t were, and
the result is a yawn, stretching the
lungs to their fullest extent. filling
them with clean. fresh air and driving
the foul air out.
That's one reason why 1t is good to
yawn. For another. yawning opens
and stretches and ventilates all the
various passages leading to the lungs.
You will perhaps be surprised to
know that yawning is even beneficial
10 your hearing.
The cracking sound which you so
often hear when giving an extra big
yawn is due TO ths stretching and
