HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE.
Il Causes Hardening Of the Arteries
and Other Grave Troubles.

Il GAUGES Hardening Of the Arteries
and Other Grave Troubles.
Physicians have always studied the
pulse, because 1t gives valuable infor
nation concerning the body's condi-
ton of health or disease. But it is
only recently that they have begun to
use the term blood pressure fire.
quently 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 ten
sion of the blood current within the
arteries is chiefly significant because
permanent increase In II is quite
sure to be followed In time by harden
ing of the arteries and by the degener-
alton or disease Of important organs,
especially the kidneys.
The blood pressure is increased by
number Of causes that increase the
force Of the heart beat or that con-
tract the smaller blood vessels. Any
excitement anger, joy, fear, nervous
ness'-raises it 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-
element such as worry, business anx-
iety or political strife or from the ac-
ton Of certain poisons that are formed
in the system and not properly ex-
creted.
These poisons come from the waste
products Of digestion, especially in
large meat eaters. They raise the
blood pressure by causing the smaller
arteries to contract.
In small amounts these poisons are
excreted at once, but in persons who
eat large quantities Of meat, especially
Of beef and mutton poultry and fish
are less harmful they are sometimes
formed in amounts so large that the
Kidneys cannot dispose of them prompt
~. When this happens. especially IL It
occurs In person who is under con-
slant mental strain, like the politician,
the financier or the chronic worrier,
there is grave danger Of a permanent
~ high blood pressure and, following
that, Of hardening Of the arteries and
Of kidney disease. mental disturbance
or apoplexy.
II you must worry be a vegetarian;
Il you must eat meat do so only once

Il Didn't Take the Usual Course Of
Deals Of That Nature.
John Willer Of Scarboro township
had good crop Of spring wheat one
year-almost the only good crop for
miles round He thrashed 1t out during
the winter and cleaned It carefully,
but did not sell it. "Seed wheat win be
scarce in the spring." he said to his
wife. .I'll keep 1t till them"
One day in April a man who lived
several miles farther out In the coun-
try drove up to John Willer's barn and
said he wanted to buy load Of seed
wheat. The farmer did not answer him
at once.
'.You needn't be afraid. Mr.. Willer,"
said the would be purchaser. "T've got
the money to pay for it right here"
''Now. that's just what wanted to
know" said John Willer. and his face
frightened perceptibly: "T'm glad you
told me- Lots of my neighbors need
seed this spring and haven't the cash
to pay for it II they can't get seed
on credit they can't get it at all. and
want to help them out. But If you've
got the money you can get seed wheat

found it necessary thus to warn her
readers: "Gentlewomen. discover not
by any ravenous gesture your angry
appetite nor fix your eyes too greedily
on the meat before you. as If you
would deyour more that way than your
throat would swallow. In
carving avoid clapping your fingers In
your mouth and licking them after You
have burned them. Close your lips
when you eat and do not smack like a
pig. Fill not your mouth SO full that
your cheeks shall swell like pair Of
Scotch bagpipes. It is very uncomely
to drink SO large draft that your
breath is almost gone and you are
forced to blow strongly to recover
yourself"

Close behind the trembling mayor
stood an old shoemaker, in figure q
true Don Quixote, clad In his working
dress why don't you speak, you
fool? he mnttered from time to time
to his leader. At last his patience
gave way. He pushed the mayor aside,
advanced. with his left hand removed
his greasy cotton nightcap, with his
right lifted the horn spectacles from
his nose. made his bow and delivered
the grafton: Emperor. you are on your

turn crowned with glory, and have
nothing more to say. but that Caesar

The emperor laughed and inquired Of
the old man whether he had any SONS.
Yes: four are in the army-two Of
these in the guards Their names
were taken down. and the honest shoe
maker soon saw them raised to the
rank of officers and found himself pro
