SNEEzING AND YAwNINC

Breathing is so essential to life
that whenever there is an interior
ence with the air supply. the body
takes violent means Of remedying the
situation. # some particle enters
the nose. we sneeze. If it enters the
bronchial tubes. we cough. A per-
son who feels himself strangling will
go through the most violent contor-
tons in order to secure q good sup
ply Of air.
The nose is not only an organ for
smelling; it is the guardian Of the
lungs. # some irritating substance
such as small particles Of dust or
many types OF gases are present
IN the air that might cause an in
Jury to the lungs, sensitive nerves
IN the nose report the situation to
the brain, which issues an order to
sneeze-a process Of expelling the
air SO forcibly as to dislodge and
discharge the irritant. The smaller
particles Of dust in the air we
breathe are caught in the filter sys-
tenn Of the nose which consists of
small hairs and sticky mucous lin
ing.
Sneezing also protects the body
against irritating light. As YOU have
probably noticed when looking at the
sun, you will react by sneezing. This
is reflex which covers the eyeball
with tears.
Just before catching a cold one
usually has fit Of sneezing. This
is because Of acid exudations which
are thrown out through the mucous
membrane of the nose, and produce
an irritation on the nerve endings.
While many people have probably
tried 1t, no one has yet been able to
commit suicide by holding his breath.
ms is because there is a very sens
tive spot in the brain that watches
over the amount Of carbon dioxide
which is present in the blood. Il
the small percentage Of carbon diox-
lde contained in the blood increases.
the sensitive brain cells send an i'm
pulse to the lungs which forces them
to start working again, and we i'm
mediately begin to inhale unusually
deeply so that we can expell the car
bon dioxide that is irritating the
brain cell.
Many OF US develop lazy habits Of
breathing so that our body requires
an extra supply Of fresh air. Per-
haps the air which we are inhalinr
is not as pure as it should be, or
we are tired and do not fill our sys-
tenn with a fresh supply Of oxygen.
The brain then issues a command for
US to stretch and yawn so that by in
haling We will absorb more oxygen.
and BY stretching we will stimulate
our sluggish circulation.
All Of US have had the experience
OF yawning because we see some
body else doing SO. We do this be-
cause while we should have more
oxygen. we do without it because of
laziness. The eyes. upon seeing
someone else taking in a fresh sup
ply Of air, report this to the brain,
which. having i+s attention called to
the incident, sends a command to the
lungs to absorb more oxygen. This
IS on the same principal that when
we see someone eating delicious food

A BEGGAR'S PHILOSOPHY

New York policeman the other day arrested de-
crep seedy-looking beggar who sat on q stoop asking
passersby for money Searching the mans pockets the
policeman found he had $40; indignant he called him
"Bowery bun.'
When the beggar was arraisned in court he pro-
tested the epithet.
"rm not bum" he said heatedly. eve got $50 900
in the bank, and that's money than this policeman
ever saw in his life He nsulted me-and demand
apology"
The court it appears, lifted its eyebrows at this and
sentenced the beggar to six months in Jail. Further
more, he did not get his apology
In this age, when the possession Of money to
gtoss over, IN the public mind whatever defects q
mans character may have probably ought to be
too hard on this
But the little story is interesting illustrating the
lengths to which some men are willing to 60 to make
money. self-respect hardly live in man who gets
every cent he has by whining for it the
ners accepting rebuffs and insults by the Dozen And
sefrespect, for the average person. is the thing
without which life is uncomfortable. Yet this ragged
beggars scale Of values topsyturvy, apparently
that he not only able to dispense with his sef-re-
spect he was able to invent one, whereby the
words "Bowery bum" from policeman became bitter
insult.
His viewpoint unfortunately, isn't exactly unique
Beggar, worthless panhandler, unashamed cadger
though he was he fortified always by the thought
chat he had $4,000 in the bank No man with that
much money could be wrong. The possession Of bank
books was unfaling salve to wounded selfesteem.

IN NEW YORK

New York. July 2s.-It seems
that. at one time or another. have
unwittinRly done the cat family a
great injustice.
It seems. for instance. that just a
few columns ago l mentioned that,
IN New York. cats were the least
popular of pets; that every apart
nent dweller has at least one yowl-
ing alley cat at the doorway" and
that the streets are fairly Uttered
with them"
It seems, too. that an editor who
otherwise is inclined to like my New
York letter now and then. is not in
clined to let the cat 70 undefended.
And so the morning mail brings me
word that this particular editor has
found, after years Of experience with
pets, that the housecat is something
quite worth having around the house.
He urges that, if and when the occa-
sion arises, might give more kindly
consideration to Tabby.
It may very we'll be that I have
been too hasty in considering the
cat. Ny mistake has been to Judge
cats in the light Of the New York
cats. The fact is, I have always liked
cats. Without seeming to boast of
my skill as an animal trainer, once
taught q cat to shake hands with
visitors-a feat ! have never seen
duplicated.
Maybe there is such a thing as q
housecat in New York. I've never
met one. In fact. ! don't recall hav-
ing seen . house. You have. then,
your choice between apartment cats
and street cats. An apartment cat,
like an apartment woman, reflects
her environment. It suggests bath
salts, ease and lazy luxury. It's
sluggish and refined and over.civil-
lied. It's positively decadent.
OF course, there's the problem Of
keeping housecat in the apartment.
Fire-escapes are 50 handy to the
window. And the temptation Of q
great city are - great for Tabby -
for Aunt Tabitha. I've known few
that could resist. Sooner or later

live and seek the small open space

me that the New York cat il more

day, hope, the editor who wrote
me the letter comes to New York.

SHOULD SUPPORT CONCERTS

The Elks Band gave neritorous concert Thursday
evening at the Northern Pacific Depot park which
heard by a small bu. appreciasve audience. These
concerts deserve better patronage the part Of the
citizens OF Bismarck.
Each week the two city bands the one supported by
the Eks Lodge and the Bismarck Juvenile band, alter
nate in giving popular open air They are we'll
worth hearing and the and enclosure about the
band stand should be filled BY the public spirited cit
Of Bismarck. Much time and effor. are being put
into practice by the band boys and they deserve real
hand every Thursday evening
Give them the support their merit deserves
