Yawning for Good Health

According to most of our books on etiquette 1t Is very improper to yawn. but from the standpoint of health 1t is one of the best things we can do
 For ono thing, a yawn ventilates the lungs. When you take an ordinary breath the lungs are not completely filled. nor are they thoroughly emptied by an ordinary respiration. There is a certain quantity of air left in the lungs always-what physiologists call .'re- sidual air"
 This air in time becomes foul and affects the blood and through the blood the nervous centers. Then at certain times certain nerves get tickled, as it were. ana the result is a long drawn out yawn, which has the power of stretching the lungs todheir fullest ex- tent, driving out all the foul air and drawing in a supply of fresh, pure air.
 Yawning, too, is beneficial to your hearing. When you give an extra big yawn you hear cracking sound inside your head. That Is due to the stretch :. ing and opening of certain tubes which connect the ear and the back of the throat. If they are congested. as hap pens when you have a had cold in the head, you complain of deafness
 If you feel inclined to yawn py ali means do so. regardless of what your book on etiquette may cay It is ma : turc's way of cleaning out your lungs and the air passages in your head.

 Do not let go of the tops of the ribs of the umbrella.
