HOW TO EXERCISE TO ACHIEVE ART OF BREATH
ING FOR REALITY

by means Of which at least for
an interval from time to time
windows may be flung open to
renew the air Of a room. We
capnot have too much fresh air
for health ana beauty.
It is not only through . our
lungs that we breathe fresh air.
The pores OF the skin also
breathe in oxygen. It is said that
human beings were healthier in
the days when they did not wear
clothes.
This is why we should, even in
cold weather, wear clothing that
is porous. admitting air to the
skin, and that ID why we should
not clog the skin with cosmetics
that it cannot breathe freely.
Even powder should be merely
busted on, not rubbed in.
Here IL an exercise that will
accustom you to filling your
lungs to full capacity with fresh
air:
Stand straight with your weight
over the balls Of your feet, head
UP. and with your hands on your
chest palms down. elbows out.
Now breathe deeply three times.
On the fourth deep breath,
raise your elbows up slowly as
far Is they will 60, then force
them back as far as possible,
meantime holding your breath.
Now let your breath out suddenly
and ut the same time drop yoUIe
arms Imply to your sides. Re-
peat ten times.
Take this exercise by an open
window. Practice it faithfully
each day and combine with it
long walks in the open air these
fine spring days. You will be
richly rewarded for your efforts
by the harvest you will reap of
health, happiness and beauty.

nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
~ Two years ago I met a
man three years my senior. At
that time he was down and out
and asked me to be a sort Of
big sister to him and help him
make a bit Of success in the
world.
He had a wonderful DISPOSE
tion-and a wonderful trade
and so 1 thought l could within
a time make a real person out
Of him.
He always told me how much
he cared, and as soon as he
would have some money we
would be engaged and then, later
on, married.
Now. Of late his attitude has
changed entirely toward me. He
comes around. but though as he
had to. He does not act the
same-he sutks and mopes. The
other day I spoke to him about
this, and he got huffed and
went home.
Now he tells me that the feel
ing he had for me is gone, and
that, maybe, later on, it might
come back. He does not want
to see me as often as he did,
but will call me up occasion
ally.
I am a miserable girl. All
my friends are gone-and that
means loneliness for me, until
something new comes up.
Do you think l ought to for
get him entirely and try to take
a new interest in things?
MAE.
DEHiAPS you have shown too
much Of the martyr spirit
and have impressed the man toe
strongly with the obligation
under which you have put him
by your attitude. One can be
helpful without becoming too sol
emn about it. Don't feel badly
treated. for you have tried to
help another human being. Per

And so it was that Lister and
his great message were rejected
in England and America. Listers
message, however, was rejected
in these countries only to be
taken up and confirmed in Ger
many, France and Hungary. This
foreign stamp Of approval led to
his acceptance in America, and,
last Of all, in England, where, in
1888, he was made a baronet and
later was showered with every
distinction, being raised to the
peerage in 1897.

from Lister, and modern mid

be an inspiration to us and to all
generations.

HIGH sURTAxEs PAID BY CONSUMER

Those democrats who attack the republican ad-
ministration for proposing to lower surtaxes,
charging that this is in behalf of the rich are in
point of fact attacking the administration for
wishing to lower costs of living to the Arizona
farmer, say. Here is proof.
The Arizona farmer ships range to steer to
market His tax, the tax for transporting it and
the tax for handling it in the stockyards go into
the price of the animal to the packer. The pack
ers tax goes into the price to the wholesaler. The
wholesalers tax is passed on to the retailer, who
in turn, adds his tax to the price charged the pur
chaser. If this Arizona farmer buys pair OF
shoes which happens to have been made from the
hide of the animal he shipped to market, he has,
literally, paid everybody's taxes from the farm to
his feet.
It is further shown by records of the treasury
department that whereas in 1917 only 2.21 per
cent of funds of big estates were invested in tax
exempt securities, in 1920 the amount had in
creased to 9.79 per cent, and in 1928 to 1887
per cent.
To avoid high surtaxes the wealthy invest in
tax-exempt securities. The Arizona farmer cam
not, but must absorb the taxes added to the price
of the goods he buys. So that in the end it is
the ultimate consumer who really pays these
SurtaXes.

liz YOU WON'T UNDERSTAND,
YOU HAVE GOT TO PAY

Some people seem to think the Bright Angel
trail is wonderful asset to the county. They pro-
fess to believe that Coconlno county would De
cheated if the government spent S50O,OOO on a
permanent road and agreed to MAINTAIN 1t at cost
Of about $4,000 per year.
About $4,000 was spent the past year in an
attempt to keep up the road from Williams to
Grand Canyon
During storms there is no good road to Grand
Canyon.
If the government builds road to Grand Cam
yon it will be year round road and one that will
be kept open
If you want to know exactly what wonderful
asset the Bright Angel trail is to Coconino county
here are the actual and official figures for the
past six years: 81
1918-Receipts 1884; expenditures S4,050.77.
1919-Receipts S5,394; expenditures S3,796.25.
1920-Receipts 5000; expenditures $3,0l3.6l.

1923-Receipts $8,786; expenditures s., ,239. so.
Total receipts S39, ,069 expenditures S2O, 1891.
Average yearly income So, 1899
The net income for the past six years was ,$19,-
899.99-JuSt about what the upkeep OF one ROAD
would cost the government for one year.
There is another 100000 now in the budget to
match the first 100000 offered by the govern
ment to build the road to the Grand Canyon, the
road to be agreed upon by the board OF supervls-
0rs and the secretary.
II this proposition was offered to Williams and
the road to be built from Williams to Grand Can
yon, Williams folks would jump at the chance.
It seems to be terrible strain among few
here in Flagstaff who claim they "can't under
stand" the proposition and fear they might lose
something.
Regardless of all the aspersions cast upon The
Sun for advocating this most advantageous trade,
if there was one doubt in our mind, if for one
moment we thought either Williams or Coconino
county was getting the worst of it in this propo-
sition The Sun would be found fighting against
it just as hard as we are now fighting for it.
Flagstaff missed chance of lifetime when
years ago it turned down the proposed railroad
from Flagstaff to Grand Canyon. Williams was
wise and accepted the chance.
The proposition of the government to Coco
nino county on the sale of the, trail is another
chance offered Just another big opportunity.
In the end it will be of benefit to Williams,
Flagstaff and Coconino county.
Williams people in fighting Flagstaff on this
proposition gain nothing but additional taxes for
the taxpayers of the county should they win.
Prejudice and the personal interest of few
are the only possible reasons for a vote against
selling the Bright Angel trail. The most profit
able deal the taxpayers of Coconino county ever
had chance to make.
Prejudice and politics don't pay your taxes or
feed the family.

A POLITICAL APPROPRIATION OF 100000

AS to 1906, the appropriation of 100000 for
the investigation of the possibilities of the Colo
RADIO river etc. an act directing the board of drec
tors of state institutions to make an engineering
investigation, estimates of costs and report upon
the possibilities of power and irrigation upon the
Colorado river to the state of Arizona"
Kick in your prorata share of this 100000 for
the "hgh line canal" a proposition in which its
proponents will be- compelled to use steam
shovel in handling all the money necessary to pay
for the project.
However, the government has spent over
half million dollars during the past 10 years, get
ting data on the Colorado river and its posi-
bilities Not long ago, you will remember, the
government sent boat expedition through the
Grand Canyon making survey-just one of the
things going to show that the government is and
has been making exhaustive investigation of all
possibilities of the Colorado river.
Yet, if you Mr.. Voter think that the Golfer
Hunt Maxwell crowd need the money and if they
will personally attempt to ride down through the
Grand Canyon another boat trip such as Col
onel Birdseye and the Kolb boys made-vote yes,
otherwise vote "307-NO."

POLITICS BUSTIN' IN YOUR FACE

Probably you may have heard of the colored
man who fell into line with small check when
there was a run on his bank and the bank quit
paying as he reached the window. He was stun
ned and remarked to friend that he knowed
banks busted, but never had one bust right in his
face before That must have been the feeling of
Senator Ashurst when. he charged that Henry
Ford had gone over to President Coolidge because
he was Offered Muscle Shoals by Coolidge at an
advantageous price The senator was hardly
through with his accusations before telegraph
wires advised that Henry Ford had withdrawn his
offer because it had become political football and
not a business proposition.
The Coconino sun., 1924-10-31
FOR THE COMMON GOOD

"No individual or group of Individuals" warns
President Coolidge "may expect any governmental
favors in return for party assistance Whatever
anyone gives must be given for the common good,
or not at all. Contributions can and will be re-
ceived on no other basis" With that spirit gov
erning the campaign, clean government, free of
years. Incidentally President Coolidge has ap-
piled to the campaign the same principles that
govern him in his official acts and has warned
the campaign managers that efforts for his cleo
ton must be limited by available funds just as he
insists that government expenditures must be
limited to income

BRASS TACKs ON THE PACT

Another thing and an outstanding one which
we must constantly bear in mind is this: that our
aloofness from the compact is not guarding of
the rights we have, or think we have. There is
not a thing that Mexico or California could do
to Arizona under the compact that it could not
do without the compact But there is much that
the northern states could do to us without the
compact if they had ready the land upon which
to put the water and the financial facilities for
applying the water If they could get ready to
apply it before we could or if they could other
wise make use of it in advance of us that would
extinguish the rights we have at present.-Phoe-
nix Republican.
The Coconino sun., 1924-10-31

Our democratic friends are an inconsistent lot
to say the least But short time ago they were
gleefuly pointing out the "lack of confidence in
the republican party" because the state ticket was
not filled out. Now they are bitterly complaining
because OF the great expense caused by the re-
publicans filling in the ticket The real inside of
the democratic complaint is that democratic lead
ers are afraid to take an even break They want
cinch and election laws that will make every
election democratic victory
