Now who would ever think II? There
is an art of yavning. And to yawn is
healthful and a good thing to do. We
have most of us assumed that i was

But now comes DR.. Naegeli, Belgian
professor of medicine at Liege Univers-

practice Of yawning. A good yawn,
he maintains, is excellent for the lungs
and for all the'Sreathing organsi but
there is an art in yawning just the
same as there is an art in breathing.
Every yawn should be as deep as
possible, SO as to bring all the muscles
of the throat and chest into action and
also fiji the vital organs with current
of fresh air. Doctor Naegeli has known
of many cases in which sore throat

Their Part

With all the traditional practical

the starting of the 'great Lincoln high

KEEP THIS DANGER
IN MIND

There has come 10 The Herald from
the office of the'chief warden Of the
forest fire protective department. at
Gaylord request that attention again
be called to the danger and loss accom-
panying oarelessness in the handling OF
outside fires. IF
II is stated in the chief wardenIs'let-
ter that while Michigau's loss by forest
fires for the years OF 1901 amounted
to over s4,O00,O 900, the loss for the com
btned season of 1913 amounted to
but few thousand dollars. This shows
that the public has awakenen to the
fact thai carelessness with fire is a
crime nat need not be permitted and
must moi be.
Forest fires destroy home and prop
erty, endanger the lives Of tpose living
within the forest area; separate the
toiler from his daily wage bringing pri-
walton, poverty and distress; increases
taxation on the remaining properties
owing to the large taxable value having
gone up in smoke, and where fire has
been allowed to run ON its merciless

new CHURCH is OCCUPIED
Plymouth Congregational Rebuilds
After Loss by Easter Tornado.
TO BE DEDICATED JANUARY
Pastor Leavitt Expects 20 Have the
Church Free from Debt Mt that
Time--Fine Organ IA Al
ready Installed,

After nineteen months without per-
manent place of worship. the congrega-
ton OF the Plymouth church occupied
its new ediflce at Eighteenth and Emmett
streets Sunday morning for the first
time.
Following tho disastrous tornado which
visited this city a year ago Easter sun
day and destroyed the church at rwen-
tieth and Spencer streets, the consrega-
ton has waged a vigorous campaign to
obtain funds for the splendid building
which is now nearing completion. Despite
the struggle. the new structure will be
dedicated the first of the year entirely
free OF encumbrance, and besides will be
equipped with one of the finest organs
In the state. thanks to the efforts OF tho
women of the church and Andrew Car
negie. who contributed to the cause.
The building which was so completely
demolished had been the home OF the
Plymouth members for more than TWEEN
ty-seven years, and was occupied after
five years had been spent In a building
where the Lake school now stands as n
mission Of the First Congregational
church.
Following the tornado the campaign
for the new building was Immediately
begun, and started with 81, 500 subscribed
by the Congregational churches OF tho
country including members Of the Plym-
outh congregation. The disarmament OF
the Saratoga church and its affiliation
with the homeless congregation Melted
5000 more from that property, which,
added to the amount subscribed and q, $50
obtsined from the sale of the Plymouth
property, completed the sum required to
build.
Although the church IL not completed
the services yesterday morhing. which
were held in the basement OF the new
home, we're attended by a crowd which
filled all available space.
As yesterday was Worlds Temperance
Sunday. Rev. F. W. Leavitt. pastor, dis
coursed on the subject of prohibition and
endeavored to set forth substantial rea-
cons for the movement which Is making
such marked progress throughout tha
land.
