Exercise and Breathing.

Limited breathing capacity is
one of the most common physical
ills says DR.. Jean Williams in
Woman's Home Companion for
March. "Poor breathers are fonna
not only among the sick Of the
earth, but also among the moder-
ately well. All chronic invalids
are poor breathers, and it is quite
hkely that they never would have
been invafids if they had been
good breathers.
"Now here Us the connection be-
tween good breathing and exercise.
Tn order to be a good breather it
is necessary to have sufficient lung
capacity. Suitable daily exercise
broadens and deepens the chest,
gives freer capacity to the lungs
and better fits them for their i'm
portant task Of suppling oxygen to
the body and relieving it Of the
deadly carbonic acid.
"When in the fresh air, breath
ing deeply, we absorb enough oxy-
gen to saturate the blood. If we
are exercising briskly at the same
time, we absorb more oxygen, and
are, therefore, just SO much better
off in every respect"

REVENUE ACT

Defense Emergency Measure

TAXES ON INHERITANCES
AND MUNITIONS IMPOSED

The emergency revenue act intended
to raise $50. 900 to defray the expenses
OF the national defense program and a
part Of the cost of the troop movements
incident to the trouble on the Mexican
border was introduced in the House yes
terday In behalf OF the administration by
Representative Kitchin, the Democratic
leader
The bill increases the normal rate of
the income tax law from to per cent.
1t imposes a tax on inheritances and a
tax on munitions OF war. 1t retains all
OF the features OF the war emergency
act passed by the last Congress, with the
poses the enactment OF an anti-dumping
clause aimed at the flooding of the
American market by foreign goods, and
provides for the creation Of a nonparti-
san tarir commission of FIVE members.
1t levies protective rates on dyesturs
and chemicals.
Mr.. kitchin and his associates esti-
mate that the proposed revenue law will
yield s250,ooo,0oo a year. apportioned as
follows:
Increase OF normal rate of income tax
and increase of surtax rates of that law,
$40. ooo.ooo; munitions tax. $50 900 900: inher-

Much to the surprise Of the Republican
leaders, the normal or basic rate of the
income tax is increased from l to per
cent. This is applicable to all incomes
above the exemption of 1900 and s4oOl
up to $4,000. In other words, the mar
ried man with an income OF 5000 a year
who enjoys an exemption of 5000 will
pay just twice as much as formerly, or
so year instead Of SO
The exemption OF 5000 a year for single
men and $4,000 for married is not changed.
There is also a substantial increase in
the surtax rates, effected through a re-
duction in the figures at which the sur
tax rates begin to operate. The present
law provides for surtax, or additional
rates beyond the tax of per cent, as
follows:

ONLY TWO MEMBERS OPPOSE

By the vote OF 2s7 to z the House yes-

ting 100000 for the relief of the families
OF members of the National Guard. The
negative votes were cast by Representa-
tives James. of Michigan, Republican,

The appropriation Is to be expended

not more than $50 month the family

vice Of such enlisted man, has no other
income except the pay of such enlisted
man, adequate for the support of said
family"
The bill provides that the law shall not
apply to Guardsmen who marry after
July l, 1916. The term family is defined
as including wife, children, and de-
pendent mothers" The bill does not in
clude dependent fathers.
ne OIL was presented to the House by
Chairman Hay. of the Military Affairs
Committee. He declared it would be in
humane to send men to the front with
the knowledge that their dependents
would have to depend upon charity. Mr..
Small made a vigorous assault upon the
Hay bill He declared that there is
such thing as pauperizlng a citizen,
chilling his patriotism with the thought
of compensation, and hanging a dollar
mark on his service"
complaint made by Small as to the
cost Of the relief measure brought a
statement from Chairman Hay that esti-
mates by the War Department are to
the effect that IT would entail an ex-
pense before December not to exceed
100000. The bill excuses from service
those Guardsmen who have dependents.
