Health Benefit of YaMnina.

Yawning is said to have an exceed
ingly healthful function besides hav-
ing a salutary effect in complaints OF
the pharynx and the eustachian tubes.
According to investigations yawning
is the most natural form of resplra-
tory exercise, bringing into action all
the respiratory muscles of the neck
and chest. 1t is recommended that
every person should have good yawn
with the stretching of the limbs morn
ing and evening for the purpose OF
ventilating the lungs and tonifying the
respiratory muscles.
An eminent authority asserts that
this form of gymnastics has a remark
able effect in relieving throat and ear
troubles. and says that patients SUI
fering from disorders of the throat
have derived great benefit from it. he
says he makes his patients yawn, by
suggestion or imitation, or by series
of deep breaths with the lips partly
closed.
The yawning is repeated six or sew
en- times, and should be followed by
swallowing. By this process the air
and mucous in the eustachian tubes are
aspirated.

COMMON CONDITION
in GROWING swine
BODYBUILDING Feed viii Aid
Greatly in Keeping Animals
Free From Paralysis.

By I E. NEWSOM, Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins, Colo.)
Paralysis of the posterior part OF
the body appears to be rather COM
mon condition in growing hogs, and
sometimes even in mature animals.
While in some instances it may be
due to mechanical causes, such as in
jury to the back, yet these cannot ex-
plain the greater number of cases.
Some have suggested that intestinal
parasites bear causal relation, but
this is open to considerable question
as it is difficult to see just how worms
in the intestine could produce pa
ralysis.
The theory that seems most plaus'
ible is that the bones, particularly of
the spinal column, become sOftened,
thus producing pressure on the spinal
cord. The softening Of the bones is
probably due in many instances to
lack Of lime salts in the food and is
not frequently noted when the vic.
tins have been heavily fed on corn.
Consequently a rational treatment
consists in the addition Of limewateT
to the feed and an entire change OF
diet, especially with view to build
ing better bone. That this treatment
will have any beneficial effect on the
affected animals is open to question
but such measures when instituted
should prevent other animals com
ing down with the disease.

Americans Good Match Users

of cigarettes also has increased the
consumption of matches. as have gas
and gasoline stoves, which are contin-

has been an increased manufacture OF

and these have helped 10 cut the sales

PERCHEROM HORSES
ARE OF FIRST CLASS
Importance of Good Feeding Is
Emphasized by President OF
the Percheron Society.

In his annual address E. b. White,
president of the PercherOn Society OF
America, emphasized the Importance
of good feeding as follows:
Let me call your attention to the
fact that you cannot grow first-class
animals without giving them an album
dance of feed, and at the same time
obtain satisfactory results.
"Any breeder who thinks he is going
to produce Percheron horse equal to
the imported and run him in the stalk
fields, or give no serious thought to
the cost of his keep, has made a fail
ure almost before he has started.
I'VE without doubt have the best
foundation stock in the world, and If
our breeders learn to grow out the
young animals, which can only be done
by liberal feeding and abundance of
fresh air and exercise, our friends in
France, when the war is over, will ind
they have lost the American trade for
all time to come"

ter was just the reverse-complaining,
dissatisfied, eager for some good for
tune that would enable her to live
without labor Natalie was a proh-
cient musician with piano and violin,
and gave lessons, paying her grasping
married sister more than fair sum
for board.
It was a week later when Kate
flashed in upon Natalie at the piano
In feverish state of Indignation and
excitement.
1.-THE mean old hunks she scold-
ed: what do you think? / wrote the
lawyers of uncle's estate, demanding
to know what they had left you"
ooh, Kate." demonstrated Natalie.
I've got the reply and Kate waved
an open letter in her hand. All he
has left you is that old clap-trap of a
violin he dotted over So
"Oh, Kate Did he, indeed?" cried
Natalie with sparkling eyes. fWhy'
his priced Carero is priceless! 1t was
his most precious treasure. To think
that he would leave it to me-.
Kate founced off. ridiculing the ex-
travagant delight of her sister over
"a piece of antiquated rubbish" Ma
talie fondly thought of the old mans
delight in his favored instrument.
Often he had played to her, and he
had even allowed her to handle tAe
old instrument, but tenderly as though
it were an infant in arms. There was
a large intrinsic value to the lnstru-
ment on account of it's maker. age
and power of melodious expression.
Natalie, however, never thought OF
selling it. especially when the violin
duly arrived with a note from the
lawyers of the estate, saying that MT
Warren had expressed the hope the
cherished instrument would never go
out of the family.
There ensued period of rare de-
light for Natalie after that. The
sound of the violin made Kate angry
every time it struck her ear. There
was a little old uncovered bower al
one end of the garden. Thither Ma
talie would go. and for hours would
draw sweet plaintive melody from the
vibrant strings.
She was dreamily playing a ca

looked up, startled. On the other side
| of the low fence stood a young man
| raptly listening to the echoing strains
His eyes were lit with devotion to art
his lips trembled, his whole being
seemed permeated with the plaintive
yet thrilling appeal of the old instru

His fine, statuesque face inspires

be permitted to examine the certificate
Of registration and pedigree in order
to learn if the animal is properly reg
istered in a reliable studbook and if
the age, color, and description agree
with the stallion whose service is be-
ing considered. If the certificate does
not agree with the stallion it is evil
dent that something is wrong, and it
will be much wiser to refuse the serv-

ting nondescript foal, expensive to

If a breeder is not familiar with
pedigree and registration societies, he
should consult his state agricultural

all facts regarding the stallion being
considered for service. In this way
much information may be secured that

A NEW DISCOVERY

"Anuric" is a recent discovery OF
Doctor Pierce, who is head OF the In
yalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. Expert
ments at DR.. Pierce's Hospital for sew
eral years proved that "Anuric' is a
wonderful eliminator of uric acid. For
those easily recognized symptoms of
infiammation-as backache, scalding
urine and frequent urination. as well
as sediment in the urine. or il uric
acid in the blood has caused rheuma-
tism, it is simply wonderful how surely
"Anuric" acts; and in gravel and govt.
invariably the pains and stiffness rap
idly disappear.
