coNTRoLLINe THE TEMPER.

One cannot have good health I'M
less he controls his temper. II is
not only the great RACES and violent
bursts Of anger that disturb normal
functions, but also the habit of frrf-
tation and Impotence. says w. III.
Riley, NJ D.. in Good Health.
There are some people who are en-
tirely upset when the weather does
not suit their plans, while there are
others to whom scorched breakfast
toast Is a tragedy. The lack Of poise
that is manifested in constant fret
ting and fault finding has a very bad
effect upon the health.
We are all familiar with the angry
appearance Of the human counter
ance-it shows in the eyes. the set
jaws, the scowls. the flush or pailor
on the face; the rigid body and
clenched fists are additional signs Of
intense feeling. When one is very
angry he feels the heart beating
rapidly, his ears hum, and his Muscles
witch; the knees feel weak. the
mouth becomes parched. and he is
nearly choked with WRATH. Then
comes the outburst!
1t is easy to believe hat such q
condition of emotion profoundly af-
fects the whole bodily economy. and
this is precisely what happens.
The dry mouth. which is a symp-
tom Of great anxiety as well az OF
anger. is due to sudden suppression
OF secretion Of the saliva. In India.
practical use was made Of this fact
in what was known as the ordeal OF
rice" When several persons were
suspected Of crime, the consecrated
rice was given them to chew. and
this after a time was expectorated
upon the leaf Of the sacred fig tree.
II anyone elected 1t dry, that was
taken as proof that fear Of discovery
had stopped salivary secretion and
the person. was found guilty.

cinating reading. but it is too lengthy
for these columns. AT any rate, he
would be able to buy his second

seventh year After this, tine inter
est earnings on his bank deposits
and on his two mortgages would
amount to more than half of his
weekly saving from his salary
1T would not be very long after
this before he would arrive at the
point where he could buy the $1,000
mortgages with greater frequency. If
he continued the plan for twenty-five
years he would own fourteen mort
cages and have bank account
amounting to S761.33. BY using the
accumulated interest on these two. to-
gether with the regular SIS weekly
saving, he would at this time be able
to buy $1,000 mortgage every six
months
by this time he would have
reached his forty-seventh year. pro
vided he started saving when he was
70. Suppose he continued until he
was so years of age. AT this time.
he would own $4,000 in 8 percent
mortgages, and have bank ac-
count amounting to 377S.22- He could
easily retire then. Figure the income
from his capital. Four percent year
on S59922 would amount to S31.17.
Six percent a year on $4,000 is ST.

HOW we BREATHE.

The action OF the lungs is like a
pair of elastic bellows. When the mus
Icular action expands the handles and
increase the capacity, air rushes in.
When the muscular activity ceases. the
walls return to their original position
of rest, and as the size OF the cavity
Is diminished, the air is forced out,
says Lydia Allen De Vilbiss, NJ. D..
in Good Health
In ordinary inspiration, the cavity
of the thorax is enlarged principals
by the action Of the diaphragm and
the muscles of the chest walls.
Ordinarily expiration is not mus
cular act. The thoracic cavity is
made smaller by the weight of the
chest walls, by the abdominal wall
muscles and abdominal contents, and
by the elasticity OF the lung tissue.
Only In enforced breathing are the
muscles which raise the shoulders call
ed into play to further expand or de-
press the chest walls. This is DEM
onstrated In cases OF severe difficult
breathing (dyspnoea). The victim in
stinctfvely grasps fixed object with
both hands and holds on tight. Thus
with the arms firmly fixed, the shout
ders can aid in forcefully expanding
and contracting the chest walls.
After gaining control of the abdon1-
inal muscles and diaphragm. the aext
exercise has for its purpose the ex-
banding and contracting OF the chest
walls from front to back and from side
to side.
The inside walls OF the CREST are
freely movable. At rest, the ribs oc-
cupy slanting position. In inspira-
ton, the muscles OF the chest walls
raise the ribs and with them the breast
bone (sternum) and increase the diam
eter of the chest from front to back.
At the same time, these muscles
rotate the ribs on their attachment to
tho spinal column. and thus. increasing
the size of the spaces between the
ribs, expand the diameter OF the chest
from side to side

Keep Your Lungs Strong

This advice IS donbly important with
the knowledge that every three minutes

realize they are afflicted until it's too late.
It is after colds or sickness, from over

weakness exists that tubercular germs
thrive because the resistive powers of
the body are weakened. .
Only with fresh air, sunshine and
abundant rich blood can one hope to
arrest their progress, and the concen-
