exercises try to realize to the full that
breath is life. health and beauty, for
singular to say, there is some occult
connection between the breath and the
desire of the heart and mind. In
India deep breathing is Il part of re-
ligiouS exercise, che old teachers of
the science declaring that breath was
part of God, as. indeed. the Christian
faith teaches. At any rate, the ade-
auate breathing of pure air not only
improves human looks. but is a boost
to that diviner thing we call the soul.

ments. so as to reduce the body to
condition of perfect fexibility. The
order of practice, says an excellent in
structor on the subject, is to COM

vital force to the knuckles; make the
fingers feel numb and then shake them.

foot. lower leg, whole leg, eyelids and
lower jaw.
All of these points of the body are
devitalized as much through the opera
ton of the mind as with the relaxing
of muscles, and such general exercises
are a good foundation for the neck and
throat ones to follow. One good stunt
for filling out the neck is to screw the
head around by shaking it from the
throat first in one way and then the
other: do this screwing from the right
side first and then take the left. But
make no more than five counts each
way with this rather violent exercise,
as it is apt to make one very dizzy;
with practice twenty twists may be
taken each way without discomfort.
Following these. make rhythmic back
and-forward movement with the head,
and then in the same quiet, orderly
way drop it first one side and then the
other. Remember the good breathing,
too. all the while and the thoughts of
beauty and life.

FRESH AIR AND GOOD LOOKS.

Fresh air, the doctor books tell you,
is the source of all life. strength and
substantial good looks. With the
proper deep-lung breathing of pure air
the blood is washed of impurities, the
mind made clearer. the heart action
made truer. and the muscles of the
neck and throat receive the impetus
for healthy rounding out. Slovenly
breathers. those who are of inactive
habits and just whistle enough air in
and out in desultory way, are the
people who are preparing the way for
tuberculosis and every other lung and
throat disease known. They are in
viting flat chests, skinny threats and
the colorless skins prone on occasion
to bumps, blackheads and enlarged
pores. For when the good air goes
into the lungs-through the nostrils
and with deep, conscious breathing
some of it passes through the skin,
and, like soap and water, cleanses and
strengthens the lazy pores. The lung
bath is the most important of all
washes. You can't live without breath,
and a good deal of systematic breath
ing is required for the sort of looks the
enlightened world now calls beauty.
" a long course of lung exercises is

NEW YEARS DAY IN CHINA
Occasion When Whole Country Is
Painted Red-Time When All
Debts Must Be Settled.

New Year is the national payday in
China. All accounts must be squared
up at that time, and the man who
can't raise money enough to pay his
debts has to go into bankruptcy. The
laws are such that the creditor can en-
ter the debtors house and take what
he pleases If there is no settlement.
To prevent such action families club
together and make all sorts of COM
promises to keep up the business rep
utation of the clan. New Year Is a
great day for the pawnbrokers; their
shops are crowded with people who
want to redeem their best clothes be-
fore the New Year. There are crowds,
also, who want to pawn other things
in order to get money to pay their
debts. Pawnbrokers receive high rates
of interest, in which they are protect
ed by the government.
The Chinese paint the whole coun-
try red, ffguratively speaking, on New
Years day, in more senses than one.
Red is the color which with them de-
notes good luck and prosperity, and
all the New Year cards and invita-
tions are on paper of that color. Every
child gets its New Years present
wrapped in red paper, and red inscrip-
lions are pasted over the doors of
the houses. These inscriptions bear
characters praying fer good fortune,
wealth and happiness, and they are
posted on each side of the outer door
of the houses. New pictures of Chi
nese generals are put on the front
doors and the houses are secured and
made clean.-Philadelph Inquirer.

with DR.. Meyer G erhard that
American friendship is a valuable DOS
session and expresses a willingness to
