under the circumstances, yet there are
those who still contend that after
bids had been called for, the lowest
one should have been accepted. In
1916 no bids were received for pub
fishing the list but we have reliable
information--the statement of the
editor Of the other paper, in fact, to
the effect that he received approx
mately $4,000 for keeping still while
the county was stuck for zoe. per
name and description by The Record
after their claim for that figure had
been cut to that figure by the Board
for publishing the list, and we might
mention, incidentally, that Beaver
county paid only 10c for similar work
the same year. Now, after deal of
that sort last year,-a deal in which
the editor of the Parowan paper re-
ceved not less than $4,000 for keeping
still while the county was feeced, if
you please, out of at least twice that
amount,-we are dragged before the
public on'a charge of bias, ignorance,
ETC., in an editorial, the editor Of
which has the nerve to talk about the
other fellows "holding the customer
up when the question of price is a
matter of honor and fair dealing"
only because he was not awarded the
publication Of the 1917 delinquent tax
list at l5c. against a bid from the
other paper Of 11Ec. with equally as
good a guarantee in all other respects.
In conclusion, then, let IL be again
observed that since the establishment
of the paper in Parowan The Record
has received $G.26 more than twice as
much from the County funds as has
that paper,-and we are glad to have
discovered in which direction we have
been biased We are willing to sub
NIT to public opinion as to whether
we have merited the scoring we re-
ceieved in the editorial Of last weeks

The LUNGS
Their Work and Something About
Their Hygiene.
By DIR. II. H. Daniels


On account of their wonderful con-
struction and the work they do, the
lungs are among the most interesting
organs of the body. The lungs are
composed of many tiny air sacs, each
with its air tube, which unites with
other air tubes and other sacs. until
one large tube is formed, leading
from each lung. These large bron-
chial tubes unite to form the one
tube, the trachea, or wind pipe. The
air sacs which make up The lungs are
composed of several layers of thick,
tough, membrane; between these lay
ers are many small blood vessels, so
located that only a very thin mem
brane separates the air i'm the cells
and the blood. Through this thin
membrane the impure gases in the
blood pass into the air sac, and the
oxygen of the air passes into the
blood
How We Breathe.
The lungs themselves have no pow
err of expanding and contracting; We
breathe by means of the muscular ac-
tion of the chest walls. These muscles
raise the ribs, enlarge the chest cavity
and by suction initiate the lungs. SINH
larry the opposing muscles, by pulling
the ribs down and COMPRISING the
lungs, force the air out of them. So
that if we are to have good action
and insure an abundance of fresh air
in the lungs at all times, we must pos
sess good muscular development of
the chest. Those who lead sedentary
lives, to maintain good muscular ac-
ton of the chest, should take a few
minutes of breathing exercise once or
twice daily. Corsets and tight cloth
ing impede proper lung action and
favor the development of the long list
of diseases due to imperfect aeration
of the blood
Importance of Fresh Air.
Fresh air is another essential to
good lung action. The nerve centers
that control the automatic action of
the breathing muscles operate much
more vigorously when the air is fresh.
Practically all diseases of the lungs
are bad air diseases. Pulmonary tu-
berculosis, the principal chronic dis
ease Of the lungs, may be almost en-
tirely avoided by living in way to
get plenty of fresh air at all times
Lack of sufficient fresh air plays no
small part in bringing about rheuma-
tism, catarrh, nervousness, and many
digestive disturbances.
