Correct breathingthat is one of the vital requirements for good health.
 The lungs are an immense pair of bellows-but most persons do not real ize this And so, instead of filling their lungs to capacity with pure. health giving oxygen, they take in short and ierky breaths that fail to keep the lungs in a normally healthy condition. The result frequently is weak lungs "A condition that never would have come about if the proper breathing was indulged in.
 Not so long ago I was talking to an eminent physician who said
 The majority of cases of weak lungs are due entirely to failure to observe the correct rules of breathing. The ordinary person doesn't understand the tremendous capacity of the lungs nor does he understand that to keep the lungs in fine condition 1t is neces- sary to exercise them entirely each and every day by long and deep breath ing. Most persons use only the upper part of the lungs with the result that i, the lower lungs get little or no exer- else. Neglected that part of the lungs soon develops weakness and in time affects the entire lung"
 How about your own case?
 Do you breathe correctly? Do you exercise your lungs each and every day Do you fill your lungs with oxygen or do you starve them by lazy breath ing? Do you know that the proper way to breathe is to inhale through the nose, and exhale through the mouth and always with force?
 Breathing exercises are necessary fo1 every one who aspires to good health There are many different exercises thai can be performed in that way. All are beneficial. I'll explain two now that you can do at any time and with splen- did results.
 Whenever you are walking in the open, throw back the shoulders, tense the muscles in the chest and the arms

DANIEL CANNOT BECOME SHERIFF, COMMITTEE HOLDS Impeached by the Supreme Court, Former Russell Sheriff Will Not Re
 turn to Office

Montgomery, September 2S.-(Spe- cial.)-Pal M. Daniel, impeached by the Alabama supreme court for wilful neglect of duty following the seizure of more than s1,000, 900 worth of whisky at Girard will not be the sheriff of Russell county. A subcom- nittee, sitting In the supreme court chamber Saturday upheld the decis- ion of the Russell county commit tee and declared Daniel cannot re- turn to the office, even though he ob- tained the nomination at the primary election in August
 Soon after the election and it was seen Daniel had won out over their opponents Henry T. Ragland, not as a defeated candidate, but as a private citizen. filed a contest petition with the county committee alleging the constitution would not permit Daniel to serve as sheriff because he would be succeeding himself to that office. Raglands contention was upheld by the committee, and the subcommittee Saturday acted on the appeal petition of Daniel
 The decision. very brief, was rem dered under section 13S of the con- stitution which says a sheriff may serve four years unless removed he cannot succeed himself. This section was a strong point in the argument of attorneys for Ragland, who claimed that Daniel, removed from office fol- lowing the gigantic and sensational whisky raid, would be succeeding himself to the elective office.
 The decision was unanimous and came after long arguments of attor- neys on both sides. The subcomnit- tee instructed the county committee to either name sheriff of the county or to call another primary election
 Following the decision it was rC mored that Daniel, still anxious to be vindicated of any wrong in connection with the whisky haul, would run for election on an independent ticket. Ii was then said that he could not hold the office, even though he did get the greatest number of votes

Western Conference Passes the Buck Back to War
 Department '

Chicago, September 2s.-Control of foot ball and, all other branches of inter- collegiate athletics in the "big ten'' was completely relinquished by the faculty representatives of the western confer ence at a special meeting here tonight and placed in the hands of the war de- pertinent for management.
 The faculty representatives unanimously voted to take this action because of the chaotic condition confronting the 1918 football programme in the big middle west universities, and because it was found to be impossible to administer intercollegiate athletics under the army restrictions" These universities are now virtually under the control of the war department as each maintains an army training corps

Prisoners Give Warden Benton Watch as Token of Esteem and
 Appreciation

Something unusual in the way of tes- timonals came to light yesterday when the Jaffe Jewelry company received a letter from prisoners of state prison No. at Speigners.
 Several weeks ago the Jaffe company received an order for watch to be en- graved and forwarded to one of the pris- oners. Yesterday he received letter from the same person thanking him for his attention to the matter and explain ing that the watch was for Warden J. O. Benton, presented by the prison CTS to him on his 53d birthday. In the letter the writer said:
 While it is possible that \the incom- ing administration may see fit not to retain MT. Benton as warden, yet the prisoners are all pulling and praying for his reappointment, However, in case he does have to leave us he will at least

 It is important that the eXhailns through the mouth be done with force, holding the lips in a pucker as though
 you were whistling. The object or forcible exhalation is to get all foui air out of the lungs.
 Now, after you have done this exer- else once and retain the breath for a
 count of 25, walk along little ana
 then repeat the performance. But re-
 tain the breath this time until you have counted 35. The next time count
 up to 5O Continue in this way until you can retain the breath for count of 100 Always be sure that the head is thrown back and the chest forward and that the muscles are fleXed Another simple breathing exercise which does wonders not only in de- veloping the chest expansion and stim- ! iulating the circulation or the blood IS | this:
 | Throw back head and shoulders and | tense muscles as in the other exercise. 1 Take in as long and deep breath as | is possible. Having done this retain the breath for about five seconds. Then texhale just little of it, retaining the rest for another three seconds. Then
 exhale another portion and retain again.
 Continue this exhalation and retention
 for full minute-or as nearly a nm i ute as possible. When last exhalation 1 is made all breath should be out of the l lungs.
 The exercise may be a little difficult
 at first But presevere-and you will succeed,
 There are many breathing exercises which can be recommended and which are splendid in themselves. But the 1 two 1 have given to you are those which you can perform at any time during
