mean anything to the members if the
crranizers so plan that all the ben

to them. And, even if the sought end
should compensate for all secrihces
made, if that end is unattainable, the
sacrifice is foolish and the attempt at
organization is vain.
Mr.. Randolph at the end Of his
string of platitudes about the value
of organization, usually infers that if
the Pullman porters organize under
him, the platitudes will flower and
the porters will pluck the blossoms.
For example, if there is strength in
union, the portcrs will be stronger.
But will they?
The Pullman porters are already

not like to think Of it as ORCANI-

that it does not procure the benefits
which his organization would. There
fore, he breaches that HIS organiza-
ton would be better for the porters.
In HIS union the porters would have

phram is a flexible wall between the
chest cavity and the abdominal ca
witty. an arched roof for the abdomen.
OF all facetiouj illusions to the dia-
phram the most humorous are the
corset filters, because they are made
so seriously.
Animals apparently do not have
varicoSe veins. Savages, as nearly as
l can learn, are rarely, If ever, so af-
fected. The absence of the condition
in animals has been ascribed to evo-
luton, but this theory does not ex-
plain the absence of the condition
among savage races. I have a theory
that accounts for BOTH believe va
ricosity is mainly due to the bad habit
of upper chest breathing Owing to
our unhygienic clothing and harness
we civilized folk, particularly our
women. tend to suppress the natural
function of the diaphram. which is
abdominal or belly breathing. Ger
tainly this accounts for many func-
tional difficulties among girls and
women, for by regular daily practice
of belly breathing. the Mosher habit,
thousands of such sufferers have found
the remedy. 1 believe natural belly
breathing has pumping action on the
blood in the dependent veins and is
essential to return the blood from these
veins. If an individual thinks he can
get along without natural belly breath
ing. such as animals and savages in
variably practice, he should include in
his budget also substantial estimate
for the treatment of varicose veins.
