NEVER TAKE SODA
MINIS FOR INDIGESTION

People who are frequently trou-
bled with sour, acid stomach and
indigestion and who have formed
the habit Of seeking relief by TAX
Ing soda or soda-mints after meals
need q warning.
The continued use of soda may
not only irritate the stomach walls
causing them to secrete more acid
and increasing the trouble, but
soda liberates Carbonic Acid Gas
In your stomach and this added
to the gas you already have may
distend your stomach walls and
In time cause stomach dilation,
an exceedingly difficult disease to
cure.
For neutralizing excess acid in
the stomach when food ferments
and sours the best thing is to take
a tesspoonful of pure bisurated
magnesia In little hot or cold
water after meals. This will gen.
orally give relief In from one to
five minutes and then your food
will digest naturally and nor

Breathing Exercises.

When you take breathing exercises,
are you filling your lungs too full?
Breath control is the thing to seek
for, not the crowding of your lungs full
of air.
The latter simply distends the lung
surface, makes extra cells, and then
you have to keep on stretching your
lungs in order to keep those cells
clean! 1t is the same principle as
oyerdeyeloping muscles; you develop
more muscle than you need and then
you have to take extra exercise to
keep it in trim.
Never stretch your lungs. If you
have already done it, you cannot undo
It, but it will correct itself after a
time if you quit stretching. Breathe
easily. Fill your lungs just moderately
full, keep on practicing until you can
always breathe without CLOSING the
trapdoor." II you have trouble with the
epiglottis closing. you may be sure that
you ill your lungs entirely too full
Put all of your attention ON breathing

a moment and then exhaling slowly
through the nostrils. Take pains to
make the exhalation fully as long as
the inhalation.

that bird lovers should wage indis-

never to kill squirrel unless there is
reason to believe that 1t has acquired
the habit of eating eggs or young
birds; the result will probably be that
not more than one red squirrel in fifty
nor more than one gray squirrel in a
hundred will have to be killed. Where
squirrels are numerous they give more
