A Bright Boy Breathing
The following heretofore unheard
of information in regard to the breath
and breathing was inadn nnhlift In
n ta uauo JJUUWO in
Kentucky recently by a schoolbov of
euro, wuu wrote an essay on
the subject: We breathe with our
lungs, our lights, our kidneys, and
our livers. If it wasn't for our hrnatVi
we wou'd die when we slept. Our
breath keeps the life going through I
the nose when we are asleep. Boys
TO nrt of nit in n 11 J ,
who stay in a room all day should not
breathe. They should wait until
they get out in fresh air. Boys in a
a room make bad air call carbonicide.
Oarbonicide is as poison as mad dogs.
A lot of soldiers were once in a blank
hole in Calcutta, and carbonicide got
in there and killed them. Girls some
times ruin the breath with corset
that squeeze the diagram. A big dia-
gram is best for the rfcht kind of
breathing.
