While a *Oman does not need es mei

so many -women have not this -endurance„
and why stomisCh, lungs,. heart and nerve*
are not always in the best condition, is
answered by the Herald of Health, in the
fellowing practical manner. They -do not
go out of doors Into the fresh air enough
and drink it in irelierge „Quantities as they
ought to do. There are other refte01101,
doubt, but I wish to dwell on this one. jests
now. We laugh Sometimes &Camel" eaters,
and say they seem to " live -on air." We
use -this expression as a teem of reproach,
but the truth is we live on ,air quite aa
much as ' on . food. Pettenkoffer,
some' lecture he gave .1,o women a
few years ago, told them that an
adult pert= on an average required that
every twenty-four hours 360 cubic feet of
air 'should be taken into the lungs, This
would *equal about 2,000 gallons. Now,
both the eOlid and the liquid food. of the
same- person for each day would not be e
more than three quarters of a gallon; so
when we laugh about one's living on air,
we simply show that we do not know how
much more we live.on air than on food. and
drihk. . We do not always live in propor-
tion to the amonnt of food we eat, but we
do live in proportion to the air We breathe.
I believe if every women Who reads this
would make up her mind the coining year
to -consume more pure air, she would by so
-much escape headache?, depression of spirit. -
hysterical troubles, physieal. weakneis and
a hundred Other evils, and be a gre,at deal

when often she carries glocen and misi3ry.
