Mendoza is the southern California

Proper BREATHING.

To breathe properly take deep, slow
breath, another and another. Put both
the hands on your ribs and see how
they expand and contract as you
breathe In and out. Put one hand on
the low ribs in front and the other op-
posite it on the back. Feel how the
back swells as you breathe. There

phragm that divides the chest from the

called the floor Of the chest. 1t is fas-

sternum, or breastbone. And when
people speak of diaphragmatic breath
ing they mean just what we are doing
now-filling the lungs with air and
emptying them by the expansion and
contraction.

Really Little Known of Poland.

Poland's history, with its fight for
freedom, justice and equality, its
struggle in defense of Christianity and
European civilization and its unself-
ishness in aiding the weak, made it
famous among the worlds nations.
both in success and adversely. The
achievements of the Polish nation in
art, music, literature, science and re-
ligion are known, as are the life deeds
of its great men.
But the industries, mines, trade and
natural wealth of that unhappy coun-
try have since its partition been to a
great extent a sealed book to most
of the people outside Of the nations
attempting to assimilate the Poles.
This was principally due to the in
ability Of people from the outside to
break through the network of foreign
governmental systems in which Po-

How Some Insects Multiply,

The fecundity of certain insect forms
is astounding. The progeny of one lit
tie insect, the ''hop aphis," sees thir-
teen generations born to it in single
year and would, if unchecked to the
end Of the twelfth generation, multi
ply to the inconceivable number Of
ten sextillions of individuals. If this
brood were marshaled in line, ten to
the inch, it would extend to a point so
sunk in the profundity of space that
light from the head of the procession,
travelling at the rate Of $4,000 miles
a second, would take $500 years to
reach the earth. In eight years the
progeny Of a pair Of gypsy moths
could destroy all the foliage in the
United States If unchecked.-Popular

to be serious with the treatment of

Inns and other second sackers of
equal caliber. There is just sigh:
possibility that the big boy is as good
as Stanley of the locals, but the fans
can see for themselves Saturday AMI
Sunday.
With two of the three pitchers mon
toned above appearing on the local
diamond, there is absolutely no DOUBT
that baseball par excellence will be
the menu for Saturday and sunday
and the fans will be out in large num-
bers to see the two teams IL action.
Manager Kinks crew of swatters have
been hitting in great shape thus TAR
and everyone is anxious to see what
they will do against such noted heav-
ers as accompany the All Nations.
The Bismarck nine has been play
ing great ball the past few weeks and
this will be a real test as to their
ability. Every fan in the Capital
City feels certain that the boys will
cover themselves with glory in both
contests and indications are that the
grandstand and bleachers will be
crowded to capacity and the field
parked with automobile loads of base
ball bugs anxious to witness two
games that promise something out OF
the ordinary in the line of fast base
ball.
