an air bath is almost as beneficial as q sun
bath. The air bath for the lungs may be taken
without any great effort.
There are numerous benefits attached to
deep and proper breathing. It freshens up the
blood stream and acceerates the circulation of
the blood. Then too it helps to carry of the
divers and Sundry poisons accumulated from
overeating--and few will deny that most per-
sons overeat in the Winter.
nEEP breathing Is matter of training, vet
it is not difficult thing to learn The
well trained Splinter. having been schooled
correctly in this essential, takes his breath at
the starters words, Get set!" He holds his
breath as the gun is fired and, what's more he
continues to hold it almost throughout the
course Of his 100-yard dash. The lO-second
runner would be slowed down more than the
average person realizes if he were to take a
breath every few strides.
The importance of giving an air bath to the
body cannot be emphasized too strongly. When
combined with few simple movements of the
arms, inhalation tends to force air into the
apices of the lungs-the tops Of the lungs
where tubercular germs are apt to start their
work if oxygen does not enter
In exhalation the points I have outlined
below will, if followed out, tend to force out
some of the residual air which always is pres
ent in the lungs. 1t is common knowledge that
virtually wo-thirds of the residual air is rarely
used unless exercise of some sort is INDUCED In
OF course, it would be impossible to debate
the lungs entirely and still live, but the point
I make IS that the forcing out of some OF this
residual air and the taking in of new, fresh air
is a purifying process of inestimable value.
IN all breathing exercises inhalation should
take place through the nose and exhalation
should be made through the mouth. This is
quite important.
Here is set of breathing exercises that will
achieve the desired results and will not require
too much time to perform:
l. During inhalation through the nose
raise the arms sidewise and upward without
bending the elbows, so that the palms of the
hands touch above the head. While exhaling

slowly This exercises the abdominal muscles.
When a person first tries these exercises, he
Is soon convinced how little stomach and abb
dominal development is possessed by the aver
age human being, because some soreness will
result from the first few days of effort. This
is true of any muscle in the body that has been
long in dsuSe.
If these TWO alternate exercises tried
and I strongly urge people who would keep fit
to attempt them-they should not be done vio-
lently at the beginning. Caution should be
employed in the early stages of the exercising,
which later should be increased gradually
after the muscles have limbered up from their
first touches of soreness
The best time to take these exercises is in
the morning and again later in the day If it
is possible. 1t is not beneficial to indulge in
heavy physical work Immediately before retir-
ing because this brings the heart up to too
rapid action and is not conducive to good sleep.
At bedtime the heart action should reduce
gradually. However, the exercises have de-
scribed hardly can be classed as heavy ones,
unless the individual himself makes them SO,
and it probably would not be injurious to take
them at night If no other time during the day
can be found for them. Walking is not strenu-
Gus and will not accelerate the heart action to

I cannot lay too strong stress upon the i'm
portance of deep breathing during the Winter.

bodies sufficiently when, as matter of fact,

man and the animal, however, is
that Mr.. Grizzly can come out of his favorite
tree stump at the first breath of Spring with
out feeling any i'll effects from his long sleep,
whereas Mr. Mans body is farther below par
at the end of the Winter than at any other
time during the year
This business of keeping fit in Winter is
tremendously important although the majority
of persons do not seem fully to appreciate it.
A man must fast, physic, exercise or become
sick. Any annual report of vital statistics will
disclose that there is more sickness and the
death rate is higher in Winter than in any
other proportional division of the year. Yet
most of us are prone to do nothing about 1t.
The advent of Winter achases off the golf
course, and. except for a comparatively few
days that are throwbacks to Indian Summer,
keeps off for at least three months 1t cuts
down on the amount of sunshine and conse-
quently of healthful outdoor recreation. We
go indoors for our Information and, unfortun-
ately most of us stay there until Spring comes
around, forgetting that our muscles were made
to use and our lungs to inhale good fresh air
that puri1es entire system.
When Winter comes it is not at all necessary
for us to shut up our physical workshop and
let it rust away for a dozen weeks or more. The
process of keeping ft-of remaining right up
TO the mark-can be carried on just as easily
when the snow is on the ground as when Old
Sol is beaming down in all his Midsummer
splendor.
THE problem of keeping fit in Winter-h you
want to call it a problem-may be solved
by adherence to two cardinal rules The first
rule involves deep breathing and the second
requires that the abdomen be kept rigid. When
properly done, walking is exercise that COM
bines those rules.
There are several minor points that it would
be well to remember but those two are pre-
eminent-deep breathing and a SagleSs stom-
ach. For if you want to keep stiff upper lip,
you have to keep your stomach stiff.
The importance of the two rules I have
mentioned will be proved by physicians or any
other person who is conversant with the make
up of the human body, who will tell you that
deep breathing and keeping the abdomen rigid
the principal secrets of logevity.
Then, too, there some very simple and
fundamental physical exercises that vau-
able adjuncts. They not difficult to per-
form and do not require much time in their
execution They 60 hand-in-glove with the
necessity of keeping the stomach from saggng.
The two exercises to which 1 have reference
will require more than 10 minutes
day to perform. If possible, they should be
done twice daily, but that is not essential; once
is really sufficient. They alternate exercises
and they are executed as follows:
/. Sitting up from lying down position with
the hands behind the neck. This develops the
stomach muscles

disease in New England.
The natural assumption of anybody
stricken with the malady, says DR..
Spencer, would be that some spoiled
food had been eaten. But the illnesses
due to spoiled food now are differenti-
ated In two groups-botulism caused by
a toxic substance found in imperfectly
preserved foods, which has mortality
rate of so to 20 per cent, and a far
milder and more common illness caused
by specific group of organism which
may be found in either spoiled or fresh
foods. Both types have symptoms not
found in the present case.

Vatican Railway Calls For Engineering Skill

VATICAN CITY, Oct. 3. The new Vatican railroad, although probably the smallest government line in the world-it is only 2,633 feet long-has demanded such en- -gineering attention because of structural difficulties and the need to make it conform with the archi- tectural beauty of the papal state.
 Work on the railroad was begun in April, 1929, and pushed with great rapidity. Several buildings had to be demolished for the large railroad viaduct. This viaduct pre- sented considerable trouble because of the uncertain nature of the terrain. Piles for the piers had to be driven 68 feet in order to offset the effects of subterranean water The viaduct was completed March l of this year.
 Because of these facts, the cost of the railroad is relatively high. Engineers calculate the final figure at between 20,000,000 and 24,000,- 900 lire, or between $1,000,000 and $1 ,250,000 This averages around S450 linear foot.

 You know how to send for Dr. Lytton when the toxin begins to work, don't you? And the doctor IS being called at four, anyway, be- cause he really doesn't expect any results before then I do hope the experiment succeeds, don't you?

 T do find it so difficult not to get-well-personal about my pa tients," Casey confessed. If MT Grannock goes blind shall cry myself sick. He's awfully nice. Mucn nicer than his half-brother, for al his beautiful eyes and his laughing ways"
