DEEP-BREATHING IMPORTANT.

Deep breatblLg. that b. taking long, full breaths ri^iit down Into lungs, cannot be pradioed too i In tbe open air. and tbe clearer and purer the air tbe deeper you should breathe. It will seem a hard task at first, but one will soon find it pleasant, and tbe results will be apparent la straigbter shoulders, better developed cheats, clearer skin and sweeter breath. This method of breathing is the real •'elixir of life." and better than any yoati. restorer oa tbe market, la a short time you will be breathlag correctly, awake or asleep, it is to be remembered that deep breathing also fills out stinkon and hollo' cheeks, clears the lungs and reduces the abdomen. It Is a comramtively easy t&s teach children wbo have not acquired fixed bad habits, whose clothing ad mils of perfed freed ran. how to breathe properly. Tbe habit of deep breathing b formed quickly, and In normal conditions Is maintained through Hfe. The weak, who bare cramped tbeir lungs and relaxed all the breathing muscles, will find that tbe formation of the new habit requires persistent dally practice, but when it once is established they will have health and vigor.—Physical Culture.

Cars Will Be Sent Away Between Noontime and 1 JO

STARTING IS IDEAL

No A Hemp! lo Gd Up Great Speed —Sealed Envelope Contain* Running Time

With the opening of the season of runs and tours for the Quaker City Motor Club, there is every indication that this city will have a banner year in this field of automobile endeavor. Sixteen entries already assured, with several more likely, make the roadability run for the Hotel Cape May Cup to Cape May on Saturday an event of unusual magnitude. As the knowledge that the road racing has been absolutely eliminated from this event becomes impressed on tbe motorists of this city, the entry list swells. Many ardent motor car owners of this city would welcome an opportunity to lest tbeir cars with the other* of the Quaker City Motor Club or independent owners, but they do not care to assume the risks that an ordinary road race would entail. The starting hour will be made ideal Instead of the early morning start, usual with seashore runs, the cars w ill be sent away between noontime and 1 JO o'clock. The strangest feature of the run is that it w ill be a guessing contest. No Ulempl will be made to get up great •peed, as each driver must rely on hb own Judgment as to how fast or howslow he will ride. Each contestant will be handed a sealed envelope, conlaining Ihe running time for his ear, the envelope not to be opened until Cape May b reached. In addition to the contestants, fully a score of owners have decided to drive tbeir cars over the same course, regardless of the rules, and meet the racers at Cape May.
