INITIATE YOUR BELLOWS TO STEADY
 YOUR NERVES

Animals, children, savages and untutored civilized folk breathe naturally and efficiently with the bellows.
 The chesty complex most persons derive from amateur or unscientfc physical education tends to make the breathing less natural and less efficient It is pitifui to observe the awk-
 ward effort. of the badly educated individual full breath. He goes into a kind of tonic spasm and draws scarcely enough breath to say "Ah."
 Often indeed 1t is more satisfactory to get the individual a little excited, so that his mind will
 not be on his breathing and then listen to his breathing.
 Try to forget you have a chest Think only
 of imitation of the bellows (belly) when you
 breathe. That is what naturally occurs when
 you draw in a breath, and it is done mainly by
 contraction of the muscular diaphragm. Hav-
 ing drawn breath, just knock off and rest
 the defation of the bellows. the act of expira-
 tion or exhalation or letting air out of the
 lungs is wholly passive and requires muscu-
 lar or conscious effort whatever, being the
 elastic rebound after imitation of the bellows.
 The diaphragm. like the heart or any other muscle. needs rest, and gets 1t during the de- hation of the bellows.
 The regular practice of such natural breath- ing for few moments daily will not only im-
 prove circulation but steady the nerves A mere half dozen or dozen bellows infiations when you get into bed to sleepA and again when you wake in the morning, will bring ap- preclable results in week. make you an en- thusiast in a month and convert you into a Directions for Bellows Breathing
 Pretend your chest is paralyzed. Your belly is your bellows.
 Lie on your back, with knees hexed or legs extended as you prefer.
 Let one hand rest on the belly as an indi- cator.
 Through the open mouth (and nose tool draw in slow breath gradually infating the
 bellows, as the steady rising of the hand indi- cates. until you feel it is fully inflated. No straining or extreme effort. Then relax everything. play dead, and allow. the bellows to deflate itself automatically Dur ing the elastic rebound of belly wall, dia-
 phragm and lungs. which drives the air out of the lungs automatically you should be per- fectly limp. When you feel that the bellows is fully defiated and the hand has fallen as low as 1t will go. that is without any straining or
 muscular effort, draw in another breath in the same way. Repeat from six to a dozen times at each seance.
 Many persons find this bellows breathing so tranquilizng that they drop off asleep before they can finish dozen infations. After one has practiced bellows imitation for a year. it may be possible to do the exercise
 as well with mouth closed. breathing through the nose altogether. But beginners should let the mouth hang open, at least during imitation.
 It doesn't matter whether defation is through the mouth or through the nose. Close your
 mouth for defation if you prefer. But there's no law on closing time.

Rome Letter
By THOMAS B. MORGAN United Press Stan Correspondent

Rome (UP)-The first signs oi industrial accident insurance in Italy date as far back as 1884 Tn 1903 this form of insurance was made compulsory for all in- dustrial workers. It is only since the World War and the fascist regime that social insurance has become a prominent feature of Italian labor legislation.
 The general system of social in. surances enacted in later years covers invalidity, old age, unem- ployment, tuberculosis, industrial accidents and maternity benefits General sickness insurance is on a voluntary basis for the present.
 The whole fascist social insur- ance system is contributory, save for small annuities paid to the special pension fund for seamen and to the maternity benefit. fund
 Since 191 the law requires that wage workers he insured with the Cassa NaEionale Assicurazioni So. ciali (National Social Insurance fund) against invalidity and for old-age pensions to which all pol icy holders are entitled at 65.
 Official figures just published by the General Fascist Confedera- tion of Italian Industries stated that at the end of 1881 24,244 pensioners were receiving over GA million lire because of invalidity. while 157,647 were receiving over 104 million lire in old-age pen- sIons. The number insured now stands at around six millions, the premiums paid amounting to 39s.- 3SS,000 lire in 1891 when the av- craze pension was returned al S52 lire.
 Still according to this govern ment data, in 1881 the total an- nual cost of 275,505 pensions paid by the Cassa Nazionale for the different forms of old-age and invalidity insurance including mixed" policies and the special policies for seamen amounted to over PIP million lire.
 Unemployment insurance was first enacted in Italy in 1919. the law being amended in 1928 when the administration was entrusted to the National Social Insurance fund with which some 4s300.000 wage workers are insured.

Washington - The censorship imposed by MIRA on it's Consumer s Advisory Board hasn't prevented the consumer representatives from making more progress than any one ever supposed they would.
 One of these days they will be too strong to muzzle.
 General Johnson's censor Is Charlie Nicholson, borrowed from the democratic national committee, who permits no statements of a controversial nature from subor- dinates.
 It's funny the way that censor. ship works with the industrial and labor advisory boards. If the labor group wants to sound orr, Member William Green can detach himself temporarily and speak as president of the A.. F. of L., or John Lewis as head of the United Mine Workers or Henry Hartman of the industrial board can pipe up as president of the U. s. Cham Der of Commerce-and so on.
 The c. A. B. is digging in so effectively that we soon may be hearing from such members as President Belle Sherwin of the National League of Women Vot- CTS, President Mary Dewson of the Consumers League, Presi- dent Grace Poole of the Fedora ton of Women's. Clubs, President Frank P. Graham of the Univer- sity of North Carolina and pro- lessor members such as, Drs. Charles A. Beard, Walton Ham, ilton and Paul H. Douglas-in the interests of the public.

Although 1t won't be able to tell us for months which prices are reason. able and which aren't. 1t is getting real information on prices, which will enable it to do so.

TAXES ON FOOD
,-lHartford Times)

Announcement by Secretary Wallace that process tax of 60 cents a hundred will so on pork products on November 1 and will increase to per hundred by Feb ruary 1, indicate another chapter in the story of experimentation in an attempt to bring farTn prices up preceding the war. Several as- poets suggest comment.
 The effect of the. process tax has yet to be felt in the hog belt in any apprecjable way. Many millions of dollars have been paid to farmers for pgs and sows, whose slaughter will remove vast pork poundage from the markets next season. They have the cash, not a large sum, individually considered, but also less prospect of a large drove of hogs next year. They cannot be sure that the fewer hogs will be offset by the better prices.
 At the other end of this process ing tax stands the consumer whose cost of living, as in the wheat and cotton tax formula, will be direct ly increased. It is queer turn of events that this, the same ad- ministration which firmly turned down proposals, for a sales tax, which did not even include food or clothing, should nevertheless put into operation H processing tax at the source of wheat, cotton and pork, with corn soon to come, which amounts to a tax on food and clothing precisely. In theory, this surprising reversal was to jus tify itself by it's results which were intended to be the raising of farm prices, and the increasing of the farmers buying power, thus en- larging his demand for industrial goods. which would make employ ment in the cities and enable ur- ban folk to pay more for the things the farm produces. On paper 1t :s air tight; in practice 1t seems to be full of bubbles.
 The farmer is not to be blamed for complaining. In 1920 he sold corn for $1.2O a. bushel; four years later it was .S3: in 1926, 50; 1881, AS, and last year he received only 2S cents a. bushel. This Fall. in Iowa, at least, he is contracting his new crop for IS cents per bushcl. The prices of hogs and oats have slid downward in. like proportions. Yet he has mortgage and ether debts to meet as of the high-priced times. He is in a tight jam. But unless urban employment keeps pace with increased cost of living, city folk will soon be lifting the cry of distressed consumers and demand that they be not further made the object of experimenta- ton to test farm formulas.

This hasn't been such good autumn for the coal dealers as yet. We've had plenty of occasions to light up the fires but there al- SO have been recurring warm spells. So much SO that the majority of home owners who do their own stoking have been lax in keep ing fresh fires going. As result the coal oil, and coke consumption for October may fall below normal around these diggings. But then winters only one step away and the problem of getting down early to bring the dead fire up will be right with us.
