HEART NEEDS ESPECIAL CARE
Strain on the Vital Organ Must Be
Avoided When Middle Life Has
Been Passed.

THE death by heart failure of Gen,
Frederick d. Grant" says the Medical
Record, emphasizes the repeated
warnings of the medical profession
that we should treat a senile heart
with respect. AS far as we know
there is not the slightest disagreement
on this one point-eyery human heart
over fifty, and perhaps over forty-five,
cannot stand much internal pressure
without being ruined or at least dam
aged. A very slight man may go
through severe muscular exertion with
but little damage, but a heavy man.
like the general, places on the heart
and arteries hydrostatic pressure be-
yond the safety point, and it never re-
covers.
The pitiful feature of this deplor-
able death is the fact that Gen.
Grant in his last annual report had
called attention to the opinion Of life
insurance examiners that army Off
GERS were becoming poor risks on ac-
count of the increasing strain on their
profession. 1t is safe TO predict more
deaths like Gen. Grants, unless we
treat the heart of man over forty
five with more gentleness.

The superintendent of schools OF
western state recently advised his
teachers that they instruct their pu-
pills to take the short cut in the solu-
ton of many of the problems that
come before them. This advice was
questioned by leading newspaper
of the state, which made the point
that only experience distinguished
the short cut that could be taken with
safety" This criticism brought forth
more newspaper comment, and the ad-
vice of the superintendent soon be-
came subject of general discus
sion.
The discussion has suggested to the
writer that perhaps a few words re-
garding short cuts" might be of ben

first point he would make is this, that
short cuts sometimes do not cut
short. Short cuts are attended with

Taking Short Cuts

tunes. Many man has undertaken
the short cut to fortune by speculat-
ing in the stock market only to go
down to financial ruin. Many man
has lost his life on a narrow bending
plank across a stream, when an iron
bridge was but a few steps away.
Yet there are short cuts that can be
taken with safety. Thousands of peo-
pie walk diagonally to opposite street
corners when traffic is light. Thou
sands more use elevators instead OF
climbing stairs in the skyscrapers of
big cities. These are short cuts that
can be taken with comparative safety.
Their usefulness is not disputed by
anybody. They are absolutely neces-
sary to our modern life.
And it Is such short cuts in the
school room, in the gaining of a pro-
fession, in the equipment of LIES .du-
ties, that gain valuable time and save
much expense. These are becoming
more and more necessary because of
the competition of modern life. They
are economy. But not one of these
it was tested. They come from the
experience of others if not from that
of those who take them.
And such are the short cuts to suS-
cess which give men advantage in the
race FOR wealth and position today.
