l.. ucH VIRTUE I G51D rs
Beneficial Exercise, Vhos~' It Gies'
BE We'll for OEe to select The
Time ana Place.

Yawning may be specially in
company-but it is good thing for
you to do.
For one thing, it ventilates the
lungs. When you take an ordinary
breath the lungs are not completely
filed, nor are they thoroughly emptied
by an ordinary respiration. There is
a certain quantity OF air left in the
lungs always. which psychologists call
residual air"
This air in time becomes foul and
affects the blood, and through the
blood the nervous centers. Certain
nerves get tiekled, as it were, and
the result is a yawn, stretching the
lungs TO their fullest extent, filling
them with clean. fresh air and driving
the foul air out
That's one reason why it is good to
yawn. For another, yawning opens
and stretches and ventilates all the
various passages leading to the lungs.
You will perhaps be surprised to
know that yawning is even beneficial
to your hearing.
The cracking sound which you so
often hear when giving an extra big
yawn is due to the stretching and
opening of the eustachian tubes.
These tubes communicate between the
ear and the back of the throat. Ii
they are congested, which happens
when you have a bad cold in the head.
people complain of deafness.
If you feel inclined to yawn. then,
do so. 1t is Natures way of cleaning
out your lungs and air passages.

GRACE CASE.
Waukesha Teacher Found
Guilty of Killing .Veter-
inary's Wife .,.
(By Associated Press.l

Waukesha, May 30-Grace Lusk
was found guilty here last night of
second degree murder for the killing
Of Mrs. Mary Newman Roberts.
When the verdict was announced
Miss Lusk made an attempt to
choke SpeciaIJ Prosecutor Tullar, but
was overpowered by court attend
ants and led, screaming, from the
courtroom. rss4 ~
Grasping the throat of Mr.. TuIlar,
who is more than sixty years old, in
both hands, she shook him back and
forth in his chair at the counsel
table until several men dragged her
away, when she tainted.
Recovering several minutes later,
her aged father and one of her at
torneys attempted to lead her from
the court room, butt she struggled
with them, her hair, unfastened,
tumbling about her face. AS she was
half dragged away, she screamed:

lied, my life away, Maurice Tullar

Several hundred spectators, mostly
women, stood with tears streaming

penitenttary for from fourteen to
twenty-five years, stood in their
places with ashen faces as though
paralyzed. During the second out
break the jurors shrank away from

past the jury box.
Maurice Tullar, now in sanitar-
ium because Of ill-health, is the dis
trict attorney Of Waukesha and at
the trial swore that four days after
the shooting Of Mrs. Roberts he OBJ
tanned a statement from Miss LuslE In

had shot Mrs. Roberts, but could not
understand how she had done is so

ID. S. Tullar was appointed special
prosecutor at the trial by his son,

his illness. The elder Tullar took
little part In the case, leaving its ac-
tive direction to Walter d. Corrigan
pointed prosecutor.
The verdict means imprisonment
