I'{lxpand Your Lungs.
In very many -oases peg4le de not
F Tgive their lungs eufficien�t exerccieo:
est your breathing cap.aeity by
taking a ,deep •breath, falling ,the
1 lungs till you are obliged, to raise
Nee chest and shoulders, .and. also
1 to move outward the ribs and ab-
doman, ' Then exhale till the lungs
I are quite empty. This double ac-
tion represents ;5"our breathing ea-'
pacify, But how often do you ex-
perience these sensations/ When
you walk quickly, perhaps, but eer-
taixily not regularly throughout the
day. The •consequence .is that only
part of.,the lungs are being usecl,
;end cooly in a half-hearted fashion.
'or health uur breathing ought to
lee aa deep as passible, and if we
rare never oonpelled by exertion to
ell and empty the lungs we ought to
Flo it eystelnatically by means of
exercise.
t With the approach of winter too
teeny o£ us spend by far the greater
Bart of our time indoors, and pro-
• bably sitting down, This tends to
deprive the lungs of the need for
• exercising their breathing capacity
to the full. Then, because we are
afraid of the cold, we overload our
bodies with clothing, so that when
!we go out our freedom of movement
is restricted, we only get about at
an ambling pace that never •causes
Us to breathe more quickly or more
deeply than if we were sitting at
home by the fireside. Women espe- i
cially are in the habit of wearing :
' clothing tight enough to restrict the l
lection of the lungs to a serious de-
gree. To reduce our breathing ca. -
excite, no matter by what means,
' , 9s to lay ourselves open to risk of
; tuberculosis. Sufferers from this
scourge are generally found in the
most densely populated quarters of
Our cities, and among those who
are compelled. to work in eru'rded
p]aees for so many hours of the day
that they have little 'energy or op-
portunity for relaxation. Our mo-
dern civilization tehds to deprive
elven those who do not comunder
der
hese worst conditions of life of
some fresh air and exercise for
which we should all be the better.
iThis makes it all the more neces-
ary to counteract the tendencies
,y consciously developing our
reathing noveittere and us'
ruga t.r their. drill ...VA
ebort time ,oettry day. Go through
et eta' exeteises .in deep breathing
each nl+xrning before an open win-
dow while dressing: inhale deeply
and ,slowly sometimes when you are
out of doors. After a few months
you will have the satisfaction of
•hoting that your chest measure-
ment has increased. and you -vein be
oonscioua of greater vigor, You will
most likely find that you are not
troubled with colds either in the
head or on the chest, and risk of
tuberculosis will be much reduced.

WOMEN NEED
A SAFE TONIC
And There Is Nothing Better Than
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Toning Up the Blood..
It is said that woman's work is
never done, and ib is a fact that
whether in society or in tho home
her life is filled with more tares
and more worries than falls to the
lob of man. ]!or•'t'his reason women
are compelled regretfully to watch
the growing pallor of their •cheeks,
the coming of wrinkles and the
thinness that becomes more dis-
tressing every day. Every woman
knows that ill -health and worry is
a fatal enemy to beauty, and that
good health gives the plainest face
an enduring attractiveness.
What women fail to recognize is
the •fact that 'if the blood supply is
kept rich and pure, the day of the
coming of wrinkles and pallor, dull
eyes and sharp'headaches is im-
measurably postppned. D. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills are literally worth
their weight in gold to growing
girls and women of mature years,
They fill the veins with the rich,
red blood that brings brightness to
the eye, the glow of health to sal-
low cheeks, and .charms away the
headaches and backaches that ren-
der the lives of so many women
constantly miserable.
Mrs. William Jones, Crow Lake,
Ont., says: "I feel that Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills saved my life. I
was so badly run down that I could
hardly drag myself around. I was
so bloodless that I was as pale as
a sheet, and you could almost see
through my hands. In fact the doc-
tor told me my blood had all turned
to water. • I was taking medicine
constantly, but without benefit. My
mother had• so much faith in Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills that she
bought me two boxes and urged me
to take them. How thankful I am
that I followed her advice. Before
these were gone I began to feel
better, and I continued using the
Pills until I had taken five more
boxes. when I was again enjoying
the blessing of perfect health, with
a good color in my face, a good
appetite, and I. feel sure a new
lease of life. I' *ill always, you
may bo sure, be a, warm friend of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills."

":4NOTICER KNIGHT MOTOR
SUCCESS."
The adoption of the Knight Motor
by the F. B. Stearns Company of
Cleveland seems to have been
merely the beginning of the 'taking
up of this motor by several pr•oini-
nent firms throughout the United
States.
The achievement of the Knight
Motor, both in this country and
abroad, have induced the Moline
Automobile Company of Moline,
Ill., to adopt it. This. company will
have. cars equipped with the power-
ful Knight Motor on the market by
the first of the year.
Scarcely second in importance to
their announcement in . regarel to
the Knight Motor, is the recent
purchase of a license by J. M.
WilIys of the Willys Overland Com-
pany, .The Overland people are, by
the way, one of the largest poppet
engine builders of the United
States: In the old Garfol�d Plant at
Elyria, Ohio, which was formerly
employed in the 'construction of
Garforel Trucks, '±hey have started
to build the' Knight Motor. This is
t niost significant, for possibly no one
motor car company has been more
strikingly successful than that
directed by Mt'. Willys.

- Members of the Ftench Lesion of Honor
are eo numerous in France :that the once
highly prised little strip' of red ribisou has
almost ceased to be a mark of partiealar
distinction. During' recent' years a num-
ber of prominent Frenchmen have even
refused' it, "saying that *they: preferred_ mot
to have a decoration .ratlier than accent
one which had become so common.: Al -
moat all the 'other' Frercb orders., have
shared a similar fate. 'The -only decoration
which appearsto have kept its place and
original value is the Labor Order, 4'0n-
ferred on employes who have worked, for

Pose Plus a Teetotaller. .
Pius X. has .introduced some. rather
drastic reforins into the domestic arrange-

ing the world famed cellars of 'prieeleve
vintages, the presents of kings and em-
perors. It is well known that the Pone is
a man of great austerity of life,. and al•
though wine to an Italian is as togocent
and. natural a beverage as water, he • is
himself a teetotaller, and wrehes to en-
courage the practice of water drinking.
The immediate cause of this move of
Pius K. ie said to be tbe obstreperous be-
havior of some of the members of the
Papal guard. Whether this is true or not
seems a moot point, for Italians are very
seldom guilty of excessive drinking,

"Dlpfomatlo Dram" Popular,
Iceland is extremely "dry" in the sense
that all importation or reale of alcoholic
liquor is forbidden by law. It is some
little time now that this law has been
In operation, and no one has complained
about it except the foreign consuls, who
do not sae why they should be prevented
from indulging at meal times and on fes-
tive occasions in a moderate amount of
stimulant.
They therefore reoenfiy appealed iu a
body to the Icelandto Government for an
exception to be evade in their favor. The
Althing, or Chamber, has just acceded to
their request and adopted a elause known'
popularly as the `diplomatio dram
clause' by which foreign consuls are
henceforth permitted to import once every
ear a "not excessive" quantity -of assort
ed alcoholio -drinks, which. must be oon-
tamed within the four walls of the con-
enlato.
'.Phis proved satiefectoiy to the consuls
until the question of interpretation arose.
It now seems that only two members 'of
the consular body• benefit by the exemp••
,
tion clause. They are theee of .France
and •Norway, who alone have been sent
out . from their respective countries. The
other consuls are local,men and to them
the exemption does not apply. The French
and Norwegian consuls are enjoying a,
striking and increasing popularity among
their colleagaee.
