HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE.
1t Causes Hardening of the Arteries
and Other Grave Troubles.

Physicians have always studied the
pulse, because it gives valuable iufor-
nation concerning the bGdy'S cOndi-

only recently that they have begun to
use the term blood pressure" fire.
quCntly and to regard the amount of
that pressure as Of great Importance
That is because they now have inStru-
ments for accurately measuring the
pressure, which previously they could
only estimate by feeling the pulse.
Blood pressure or the degree of ton
sion of the blood current within the
arteries is chiefly significant because
permanent increase in il is quite
sure to be followed in time by harden
ing Of the arteries and by the dcgcncr-
alton or disease of important organs,
especially the kidneys.
The blood pressure is increased by
4 number of causes that increase the
force Of the heart beat or that CON
tract the smaller blood vessels. ANY

ness"-raises 1t temporarily. But that
Is of little Importance unless the emo
ton is frequently repeated or unless
the person already has diseased arte-
ries. The blood pressure that is per
manently high is more serious. That
comes from long continued mental ex-
citement, such as worry, business anx-

Democratic Leaders Take up Faction
al Dispute Parecipitated by Com

Washington, D. C-Differences
among house Democrats reached
leaders of the Democratic side,
and efforts were made to recon
cile the factions which threaten to
precipitate a struggle over the naval
appropriation bill, with its two bat
tleship provision, when it appears on
the floor.
Speaker Clark, Majority Leader I'm

committee, conferred over the entire
appropriation situation after the SEES
sion and Mr. Fitzgerald told the lead
ers in no uncertain terms that the APP
preparations we're mounting to a much
higher figure than had been antici-
pated.
After the conference Underwood
talked over the situation with mem
bers of the ways and means commit
tee. The economy advocates had
taken up a resolution asking the ways
and means committee to discipline the
naval affairs committee for increasing
the naval bill.
The bill as framed by the commit
tee would carry about $156,00O,0O0 and
the economy advocates insist that it
should be cut about $2OOOO,O00. Mr.
Underwood called on Representative
Padgett of Tennessee, chairman of
the naval affairs committee and urged
him to endeavor to cut down the bill
The economy advocates, who are
about go strong in the house, declare
that they will f1libuster and prevent
the passage of the bill at this session
unless the amount carried is material
ly reduced.

respite to Rauen, who was to be
hanged Jan. 81. On Jan 80 the con-

Admiral George Dewey, hero of Ma
Mia bay. when congratulated upon the
attainment Of three-quarters Of cen
utry Of good health, gave some good
advice to public men. He said he at
tributed his long life and good condi-
ton to much riding and abstaining
from midnight banquets, and he added:
$50 should any man who wants to feel
&c young as do when he is seventy
five." Quite true! The temptations
are great with the man in the lime
light to indulge In excuses, largely
to please his friends and admirers.
The American banquet, an ornate
feeding ceremony lasting several
hours. robbing the man of increasing
years Of the sleep which is required
to neutralize the ravages Of time, and

ratus. has undoubtedly cost many

WAR cAANeEs fashions

Was there ever a war that did not
exert an influence on fashions? Do
hemian fez-makers, it is said, are de-
ploring the prospective waning of
their once profitable branch of manu-
facture. AS a result Of the decline of
Islamic religion and the rise of Chris
tian prestige in southeastern Europe
the use Of the fez in Thrace and Mac
edonia already has declined. "A recent
writer says that apart from the in
huence of defamation of the Mahome-
tan population by the war, the Turks
who remain In Europe as subjects OF
the Christian states will soon, as for
mer examples have shown, exchange
the fez for the lambskin cap worn by
the Christian peasantry. The fez, 1t is
remarked, Is merely an adaptation of
the ancient turban, and the only thing
that matters to the Mahometan Is that
his headgear should have no brim, or
even shade, so that he may sit on the
floor Of the mosque as prescribed by
the Koran with a covered head, and
yet, when saying his prapers. touch
the ground with his bare forehead. For
this ceremonial the lambskin cap
would do just as well.
