DEEP BREATHING

1t is no great number OF years since
gaged not only the attention of ply
sicians, but trainers of athletes and the
public generally. Recent authorities
give special emphasis to the efficacy of
deep breathing for estimates and for
children and young adults who are pre-
disposed to tuberculosis. Prof. Arnold
Hitler in Berlin Clinical Weekly notes
that it increases the passage of blood
through the liver; that it increases the
secretion and excretion of bile; that
the stomach when filed with food may
likewise be favorably influenced be-
cause the movement of the stomach
contents through the pylorus is facili-
tated. "Deep breathing" says New
York Medical Record, sis the most
scientific resource for the prevention
of uric acid disease. One must begin
with diaphragmatic breathing, which
naturally precedes rib breathing. The
lnspiratory movements are now slowly
increased until all the muscles in
volved in rib breathing gradually par
ticipate One begins with three daily
periods of fifteen or twenty minutes
each. The position of the breather is
immaterial. He may do his forced
breathing while standing or walking.
In some individuals very deep breath
appears to arrest the pulse because Of
the compression of the subclavian ar
terry. Hence inspiration should be linn
tied to a certain number per minute"

There are two main aims in the day.
light saving idea. One is that by using
for business the early hours in sum-
mer when the sun is in the heavens
there would be a saving in artificial
illumination, for people who rise ear
lier will retire earlier, and in conse-
quence bills for gas and electricity and
oil will be reduced. The other aim is
to lengthen the day for working people
not by keeping them longer hours at
their tasks, but by letting them out
from the offices and the shops and the
factories while the sun is well up in
the sky, so that they will have more
opportunity than at present for the
enjoyment of sports out Of doors. 1t
is always difficult to make readjust-
ment after custom has settled down to
any fixed habit, says Milwaukee Wis
consin. The daylight saving plan con.
fronts a formidable obstacle due to
this fact. But its advocates are en-
thusiastic, and if the public in general
comes around to their way of thinking
something substantial may result from
the agitation.

Three young men stole Hudson
touring car owned by Mr.. John B.
Brazier from his garage on the night
of December Is, and were in the act
of getting away with it when one of
Mr.. Brazier's neighbors came on the
scene to interrupt the work. The
lock on the garage door was smashed
to allow them to get inside. They
started up the machine and backed it
out in the alley when the neighbor
came along Two of the thieves who
had not gotten in the car at the time
made a hasty retreat. The third man
was already in the car, but leaped
out and ran away when the neighbor
began to question him about the
ownership of the machine. No trace
of the men has been found since,
though a search for them was made
in the vicinity of Charles Town.
