neglect to so develop and utilize our lungs as to get from the air the full benefit which na ture intends us to receive from tho air we pay tho penalty not only in de creased bodily efficiency but alsfc and in an even greater degree in a certain falling short of mental alert- noss and spiritual vision tho cultivation ot our lungs which means the cultivation of the art of breathing ought to be the very foun dation ard commencement of our edu cational system instead of being so little understood and appreciated that very little information about the sub- possible happiness although therefore a part of this falling short of the full abundance of life comes from failure to understand and care for the stomach the gal vanic centre in which the food is re ceived and separated in various con stituents required by the body yet by far the greater part of our inef fectiveness comes from failure to understand and operate the lungs a celebrated english physician dr tucker wise says learn to inhale habitually through the nose and not by the mouth children ought to be taught this habit when they are young the nasal passages act as a filter for the inhaled air many at mospheric impurities and disease germs which would otherwise enter the throat and lungs are thus arrested and are finally expelled with the nasal mucus evils of nose breathing again dr clinton wagner in his treatise on mouth breathing by chil dren says those of mature age must be impressed with the necessity of per sisting in nose breathing it is ex tremely difficult for one who has been addicted for any length of time to the habit of mouth breathing to break himself of that bad habit for those who are addicted to the practice of keeping the mouth open during sleep only enforced closure may be success fully

we all have to practise the virtue of overlooking little indiscretions on tho part of our friends at one time or an other but probably few of us realize that this question of forgetting goes to tho root of every detail of our daily existence quite apart from the attempt to dismiss troubles from the mind it may appear a startling statement but it is perfectly true that we can never do anything
