His crumbling lungs hurt him
dreadfully but he saw plainly that

greatly in the scheme of things.
He realized that the greatest

shrugged away his pain and
weakness and he gave all he had

Perhaps there has never been
a game which has caused 80 many
demonstrations OF anger among
married couples as the game of
bridge.
While 1t may be- provoking to
a player when his or her partner
fails to take advantage of q good
opening, it Is not sufficient rea.
son for starting a quarrel.
Many couples seldom engage in
a game of this kind without be-
coming angry at each other.
Thus they detract from their
own pleasure, to say nothing Of
the effect on the opposing side.
There are no greater bores than
the couples who continually CEN
sure each other for their plays.
Usually the one who has the
most complaints to make, Is dis.
tinguished for some of the worst
leads and discards and plays Of
other kinds.
From his or her basis, which
often is not founded on good regu.
lation play or good sense, the
partner Is all wrong. while as
matter OF good Judgment dis.

one which would have won out

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis e. Bisch--

LIVERY time we breathe We
~ take in oxygen and eliminate
carbon dioxide. Oxygen Is, OF
course, absolutely essential to life,
while carbon dIoxlde must be got
rid Of else the individual would
die.
The marvellous machinery. by
means of which this is accom-
pIished, consists OF the lungs and
the larynx, trachea, and the
bronchi leading 10 the lungs.
The larynx is at the back of
the mouth, at the base of the
tongue. It runs downwards
toward the chest in the upper
and front part of the neck.
Behind the larynx, one might
add, lies the pharynx, the tube
which leads into the oesophagus
and into the stomach. Sometimes
food passes into the larynx instead
of into the pharynx. This pro.
duces coughing in order to expel
the food which. IL it got down into
the trachea, might cause choking
or other serious damage. Under
such circumstances. 1t Is often
said that the food went down
the wrong way"
The larynx leads to the trachea,
which is about four inches and q
half in length. 1t is often spoken
of as the "wind-pipe."
Lower down in the upper part
of the chest cavity. the trachea
divides into two tubes or bronchi,
one running to each lung.
After entering the right and
left hung, respectively, each bron-
chus divides up a.ato large num-
her of smaller and smaller
branches, These are known as
the bronchial tubes. Infiamnla-
tion of these IL the familiar brcn-
chiti.
The lungs themselves are di.
vided into parts or lobes. The
right lung is larger than the left
and has three lohes. The left
lung has two lobes.
Both the right and left lung are
enclosed In sac called the pleura.
The pleura is q double sac, one
layer OF which adheres to the
wall of the chest and diaphragm
the muscular division between
the chest and the abdominal cav+
ity--whiIe the other layer of the
pleura covers the lung itself.
When we breathe the two lay-
ers OF the pleura, which are moist,
rub against each other and so
prevent friction Of the lungs
which might be harmful.
The lungs themselves are hol-
low, sponge.like organs. They
consist of the bronchial tubes.
numerous blood vessels, nerves,
etc, and all bound together with
so.called connective tissue.
Whenever we take in air, the
act of Inspiration, the muscles
between the ribs elevate the ribs.
This increases the size of the
chest from front to back and
sideways and hence the air can
enter the lungs which, accord
ingly, expand. An opposite con.
ditton takes place during expira.

We breathe about Is times a
minute but wide variations exist.
When we take in afr the lungs

they completely emptied VIXEN we
breathe out.
The average amount OF air
breathed in by an adult male is
about 30 cubic inches.
No matter what the tempera-
ture OF the external air may be,
the expired air is nearly as hot
as the blood. namely about eS.S
degrees Eahrenheit.
