YOUR HEALTH :
By DR.. r. S.
Copeland

Invariably this lack of symmetri-
cal development of the body is due
to failure TO breathe properly. Good
lung action is essential to good
health.
There is a faithful and useful
clerk in an office 1 visit. Recently
1 talked with her about what deep
breathing might do TO benefit her
health. She followed instructions
for two weeks and reported a gain
of two pounds. There is no reason
why perseverance, will not add
many more pounds.
To stand out on the porch and
indulge in a lot OF deep breaths
makes some folks feel foolish. To
attach this idea to some sort of
sport or game helps a lot. have
advised a great many times that
blowing exercises be taken.
Stand i'm front Of lace curtain
or a short distance from a strip OF
paper suspended from the ceiling
Then fill your lungs and blow stead

Needless to say, it isn't the blow

must be done in order 10 blow thai
causes the development Of the lungs.
This exercise will open many air
cells and whole areas of lung tissue
which have seldom been used be-
fore. Practiced two or three times
a day, this exercise will lead 20 the
habitual use Of increased lung It's

BY the way, do not overdo the
blowing exercises at first IL you
do. your chest muscles may become
very sore and lame.
Blow till the object moves, and
then step back two feet and try
again. Gradually increase the dis
lance. and very shortly you will have
enlarged your lung capacity and
will have materially increased your
weight
Fill your lungs with good air,
load your corpuscles with oxygen,
and your food will become OF real
value to you. Your chest will fill
out and your figure will improve
correspondence More than this
your power TO resist disease will be
added to, and your chance Of long
life will be increased.

1t seems almost an absurdity 10
say there are many persons who
don't know how TO breathe. But
this can be said with absolute
truth.
Have you ever noticed that many
very thin persons are big eaters !?
1t sometimes seems as If it must
make them thin to carry all they
consume.
The amount of food one takee
does not determine fairness or lean
ness. What happens to the indi-
vidual depends on the assimilation
of the food.
Some furnaces eat up a lot OF
fuel and give out little heat. There
is something wrong when this hap
pens.
There is something wrong when
much food is eaten and no flesh is
added TO the bones.
There may be many physical rea-
sons why you are thin. Dyspepsia
interferes with proper digestion Of
the food. Heartburn, water-brash.
belching Of gas, vomiting--all these
symptoms are signs of indigestion.
You cannot expect to be firm in
flesh when the digestive organs fail
to function.
Ulcer OF the stomach, gall-stones,
chronic appendicitis. bad teeth and
bad tonsils are possible causes OF
loss Of weight or continued thin
ness.
II you are Ill for any cause and
stay i'll long enough. there will be
loss of weight and sometimes long
continued thinness.
But you may have perfect teeth.
healthy organs, normal action of the
stomach and intestines and yet be
as thin as a rail
You may "eat everything which
does not bite you first and still be
thin. You may select your diet
with painstaking care and not be
able to add a pound 70 your weight.
Outside of disease Of some sort,
the most common cause OF thinness
is shallow breathing.
Have you ever seen a fine-looking
girl. with strong body and strong
lower limbs. but with a fiat chest
and outstanding collar bones? There
may be great hollows below and
above these homes.
