CIRCULATION SLUGGISH? TAKE A BREATHER.

Primitive savages and plain peo- pie whose brains have not: been added by what passes as physical culture" in Yankeeland, breathe more efficiently and have better endurance than wiseacre Ameri- cans generally have.
 Our chesty complex is unphysio- logical and unnatural and ought to be discarded along with the toe ing-out affectation of the past generation.
 The habit of costal or chest breathing as almost universally cultivated in this country handi- caps all who are addicted to it.
 Unless you are convinced you know more than I do about this breathing business you are eligible to join the B. B. club. Members may take these letters to mean Better Breathing or Busier Belly, according to their alleged cultural proclivities. In any case the em- blem of the club is button every body wears.
 Not that we are Joining the mud ist movement, but just between ourselves I'm for nudism or as nearly that as we can possibly ap- proach.
 The ideal of the B. B. club is to free the diaphragm. estimate that not more than one out of every ten "well educated" persons know what, where and why the diaphragm is. Members of the B. B. club excepted,
 It is due to this popular ignor- ance of the diaphragm that so many wiseacres have had bad ad- vice about or training in breathing.
 The diaphragm happens to be the chuckling muscle. Or if you can't contain your chuckles it will give you good belly laugh. The attempts of some people to air their strange ideas about the diaphragm have given mine a good deal to do.
 When you are fast asleep or c o m p t ely anesthetized you breathe like a savage, which is to say naturally, with the diaphragm and belly, and not with the chest.
 When you are on parade, show ing off, putting on airs, trying to be somebody else than yourself, registering false emotions, you breathe with your chest. It is part of your bad education (bad phy- sical education) that you have learned to keep restraint on the natural activity of the diaphragm and this, after years of wrong breathing, amounts to inhibition or a drag or brake on the natural breathing. Thus. instead of enjoy ing the advantage of free and easy breathing, most civilized folk are handicapped by their faulty breathing.
 Persons past middle age who have high blood pressure; persons who find it difficult to get to sleep at night-cold feet or hot head; young women with functional diff faculties; singers: persons who stut- ter or stammer; persons who hic- cough or blech excessively: seden- tary persons; all should practice

 The really de luxe manicure doesn't end with the fingernails. Or maybe it's better to say that it doesn't begin with them. For the smart woman-one who wishes to be perfectly groomed-knows that hands and arms should come in for their share of attention when ever she beautifies her nails.
 When you're ready to give your self a manicure, get out-in addi- tion to polish remover, cuticle oil, nail file, orange stick, cotton and polish-a nail brush, half a lemon, a piece of pumice and jar of rich tissue cream. Remove every trace of old polish and then scrub your arms, elbows and hands with the
 nail brush and thick soap suds.
 Rinse, dry and rub the lemon on
 hands and elbows.
 If there are small callouses on | the sides of your fingers, now rub them with pumice. Don't rub too
 hard. You can't expect the first | treatment to remove each callous. When you've finished, massage nourishing cream upward from fin gertips to elbows. Leave the cream on until you've finished manicur- ing.
 When the nails have been filed into shape, soak them in warm, soapy water and, using a cotton | wrapped orange stick, apply cuti- cle remover around the base of each nail. Push the cuticle back ward--never cut it. Now rub oil around the nails, and lie down for twenty minutes to give it and the cream on arms, hands and elbows a chance to be absorbed. When you get up, wipe off all cream.
 wash your hands and apply liquid polish.

What 7he Doctor Says BY DR. s. J. CRUMBINE, GENERAL EXECUTIVE AMERICAN CHILD HEALTH ASSOCIATION

tunately Baby John behaved per fectly during the rest of the meal so Mrs. Johnson recovered her composure.
 In spite of this dubious begin ming, however, MT. and Mrs. John son may well be proud of the way their children are meeting what is an entirely new situation for them, for this is their first experience as guests in any but a private house. For day or two Robert of strange people that he would hardly say a word or leave his mothers side. Claire, on the other
 hand, was so busy exploring the place and making friends with everybody that we never knew where to find her.. Bill and Mary, | being older, were quicker to adjust | themselves and soon made them selves popular at the bathing beach and tennis courts. And by this time Claire's high spirits have | quieted down to normal, while Robert has become first favorite, | especially with the old ladies. Mrs. Johnson wisely insists on keeping up at least part of the daily schedule to which the chill dren are accustomed. Like most healthy youngsters the Johnson children are inclined, when on a vacation, to be on the run all day. but their mother insists or a rest period after lunch before the af- | ternoon swim. Some of the chill dren at the hotel are allowed to stay up till all hours of the night but here again Mrs. Johnson shows her good sense. Bedtime hours are the same as at home,
 At the table, too. it is easy to see the results of the good eating habits which Mrs. Johnson has so carefully encouraged. It's a great thrill. especially to Claire and Robert, to choose their meals from menu card. They are so used to family meals. where everybody has their mothers or fathers choice. Since they have been taught to like simple, wholesome food. how ever. their choice is usually a good l one, from Mrs. Johnson's point of view. though occasionally she has to exercise her diplomacy.
 So far the vacation is proving huge success for everybody in the party. We all feel better for the change. We are enjoying each others society and at the same
 time are making new friends. For
 the children it is a taste of larg
 CT world than they have yet known
 and l am glad to see that they are holding their own in it without
 unduly upsetting others.

FAVOUR CHILDREN

As fall approaches and Jimmy begins to think of how the school house looks on the inside, his par ents are giving more than q Thought to his vaccination.
 It has to be done, they know, because the Smiths and the Browns tried to get their six-year- olds in last year without it and 1t just couldn't be managed.
 No-the board of health and the school board and everybody concerned with health and disease Is adamant about that certificate of vaccination. And this means one that has taken. too. If it doesn't take the first time it usu- ally has to be done over again. or even again, depending on circum- stances and Johnny.
 Over Quickly
 So they take him to the doctor and it's all over in a minute. His mother is told to keep clean gauge bandage over it, to watch that Johnny doesn't touch or scratch it and carry the pus to his eyes or another abrasion on his body, and to give him only yponge baths while his arm is tore.
 If he is little upset and does not eat well, or has a slight rise in temperature she is not to worry, but let him take it easy and eat light but nourishing food.
 Tn the long run Johnny has "scar" he is proud of. gets his certificate signed and all is well.
 There are a few things to be cleared up. however. in the anX- ious parents minds, particularly if the child has had a recent ill., ness or one of severe type in the past few months.
 In such case it is only fair to the doctor, if he is q stranger (and fair to Johnny. tool to see that he is given the complete story of the sickness, and even a his tory in brief, of all his serious ill., nesses. It so happens that once in many times the doctor will de- eide to postpone the vaccination until bit later.
 If Johnny'S own doctor is to scratch the small arm and intro duce the virus. he will. of course, know whether it is wise to wait If he is not to do the work, it might be wise to have him write a short outline of Johnny's past history to hand to the new doctor.
 Curbs Disease
 Such cases are few but there is more recognition being given now to the history of certain ailing children than formerly.
 As for the rite itself, it still ir- ritates many parents that their children have to he VaCCinated at all. Smallpox? Why, you get black water fever" they say. "It's something nobody gets any more-here. anyway. Smallpox is obsolete"
 That is why-no smallpox be- cause of vaccination. If it were stopped, probably no one could answer for the consequences. It has been found to spring up in epidemic form when vaccination ceased. If we could stamp out infantile paralysis by vaccination. what mother would hesitate?
 If this happened and some day it had disappeared, the parents of that future time might be as greatly puzzled by the custom as our parents are today by the smallpox prevention. Then to- days parents could tell them a thing or two. "Be patient" they would urge. You don't know how terrible that disease is" And 1t is the same with smallpox. The old@.etimers could tell us a few things. without doubt

They have fewer. In the most exhaustive study yet published of such problems.

experience. Older drivers get care less of the rules. Pianists and vio- linists must constantly spend long hours on practice exercises in order to keep up their technique. Also theatrical companies, during long run of play, have to go through frequent rehearsals or the play de- terioates. So with liars.
 3-If 1t is not in the form of sheer heart t-breaking adversity ad- ded responsibility tends wonderful ly to bring out in all of us powers of mind which enither we nor our friends suspected we possessed. William James brought this out eloquently a generation ago in his fine little book. The Energies of Men, and Prof Edgar James swift, psychologist of Washington univer- sity, St Louis, adds to the discus sion in his Jungle of the Mind. ' It is one of the greatest duties of parents to lay responsibility with in reason upon their children.

For the housewife who feeds hei family on a budget, there is no cheaper source of vitamines and minerals than apples.
 Apples are one of the best raw foods and can be served as break vided they've been we'll washed teeth, counteracting the effect of today's soft diet that dentists com plain so much about.
 Many grand desserts have ap- Dles as their basis and most salads more appetizipg with this useful fruit added. ~
 Baked or steamed apples are among the first solid foods ba- by eats and these same foods are relished by the elders for break fast with sugar and cream.
 Need Special Qualities.
 Varieties of apples are legion and the way the fruit is to be used determines the variety want ed. For the convenience of mar keting. they usually are divided into two classes-cooking apples and eating apples.
 Apples for pie or sauce should be tart, well-flavored and of fine texture. This insures quick cook ing and good flavor. Those want ed for baking should be perfectly formed, firm and of good size. If they are too delicately grained, they will fall apart while baking and be unttractive for serving.
 Eating apples should be well. navored and juicy. Astrakan ap. p.es, which are one of the very best varieties of early apples for cooking and jelly making, are a pit tart for eating. The old fash toned harvest apple and yellow transparent varieties are good both for cooking and eating.

SUMMER VISITING

As Mrs. Johnson says, there's no telling what child will do next!
 The more a parent tries to ere ate good impression among strangers, the more sure a young ster is to spoil it by some embar- rassing remark or action.
 The first morning we were at breakfast here at the summer ho- tel, for instance, Baby John hor- rified his mother by dropping his cereal spoon, seizing his plate in both hands and drinking from it with the liveliest satisfaction. Of course Mrs. Johnson checked him as soon as she realized what he was after, but not before several people 2t the surrounding tables had noticed the incident. Most of them smiled; a few looked disap- provingly at the little boy. and one rather disagreeable' voice eX- claimed, Such manners." But for

LACE DINNER CLOTHS ARE
 MOST POPULAR

As lace making grew to be a fine art. it was first used for altar clothes. Kings and nobles soon saw the beauty of laces and order ed table cloths made of them as well as articles of personal adorn- ment.
 Queen Elizabeth ordered lace in her favorite oak leaf pattern for table cloths. Louis XIV favored lace for banquet cloths.
 Always thing of beauty. at first 1t was a luxury because of the great amount of time spent in making it. Today its manufacture has become simplified to such an extent by intricate machinery that lace table cloths are luckily within the reach of most of us.

It is not necessary to have a license
in order to trap predatory animals,
and they may be taken during any
season of the year and at any place
with the exception of upon game re-

the right Of trapper to enter upon
