Our modern modern civilization tends to deprive even those who do not come under these worst conditions of life of some fresh air and exercise for which we should all be the better. This makes it all the more necessary necessary to counteract the tendencies by consciously developing our breathing capacity, and using the lungs to their full extent for a short time every day. Go throiigh a few exercises in deep breatlrng each morning before an open window window while dressing ; inhale deejDly and slowly sometimes when you are out of doors. After a few months you will have the satisfaction of noting that your chest measurement measurement has increased and you will be conscious 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. --A Physician. -e at Mrs. Isaac Clarke's; Mr. Tom Wray, Oshawa, at Mr. C.

Resident Engineer A.E MacGregor and Foreman Ag iew, assisted by Chief Wm. Edger and his firemen made a test of the waterworks Wednesday afternoon anc Jound the system in a very satisfactory condition. Four hose were attached to hydrants at outlying points wide apart, and streams with 76 lbs. pressure from ordinary direct pressure, to no,lbs, pressure pressure with assistance of new station pump, were thrown as high as 75 feet in the air, or 'over the Presbvterian or English churches. Th°se figures -are not the maximum of effie ency to which the system system is equal, but up to the required test. With six hose working at this pressure the supply of water coming direct from the spring, together with the supply in the reservoir, was sufficient ; keep a steady flaw for over 10 hours before Jhe reservoir would be emptied. The town is already well protected in case of fire with the ordinary : direct pressure from the spring, the extra pressure of the new station pump, arid in case anything goes wrong with the pupap and the direct pressure pressure is not adequate, the fire engine may be attached to any: of the hydrants to increase increase the press ire. So far a continuous main and pipe has been laid and is how ready for use, starting starting from the C P R station at corner of Scugog and Wellington, along Scugog to Church to Liberty,and along Liberty to Victoria, which is one block south of the Hospital. Connection is also made from Church to King on Temperance and Division Division streets. This includes 16 hydrants along this course, besides six hydrants on thé ma :r. fitmi the Spring between corner of -Go iicessi oil and Centre as far north on Mahvers Road to Wm. Adams' house. A close inspection" of the route showsr that with 1000 feet of hose attached to any of tW hydrants. th< business - section and a greaterrpari of thè residential area of the town could be reached easily - in case of fire» L'Ai* r'c. . . . i. ..
