TEST YOUR LUNGS.
A Simple Method by Which One May
Measure His Development.

People often suffer from weak, un-
developed lungs without suspecting it.
True, small, feeble lungs are usually
associated with q small, narrow or
sunken chest, but not invariably. BY
means of the misuse of physical cul-
ture it is possible to develop large
chest muscles, thus acquiring a big
chest measurement, while the lungs
remain small and Ill nOurished.
Again. lung mischief is often so slow
and insidious in its approach that the
trouble is not discovered until it Is
firmly established. Here, however, Is
simple test which will tell you
whether your lungs are healthy or not:
Take as deep a breath as you can,
and then, in a slow but distinct voice
count from one onward as far as you
can without taking in more breath.
The number of seconds you can con
tinue counting is pretty reliable in
dex to the state of your lungs, so you
should have some one to time You.
If your lungs are sound and normal
ly developed your range will be be-
tween twenty and thirty-five seconds.
If your limit is between ten and TWEEN
ty seconds there is no need to be
alarmed; probably your lungs are
merely In need Of exercise. to be read
lily obtained by regular deep breathing
in pure air. A range less than ten Sec
onds, however, points to more or less
mischief, and you should not delay in
having your lungs examined by med
ical man.

To Keep From Losing Breath.

Where respiration is rhythmical there
is no loss of breath in walking fast,
running uphill or going upstairs. The
method Of preventing breathlessness
consists in maintaining the rhythm and
the speed of respiration. When the
breathing is rhythmic the breathing
keeps pace with the step. The OUT
breathing must be twice the length
of the inbreathing. and not more than
eighteen or twenty complete breath cir
cults must be made per minute.
