Dr.. Brady's Health Talks
HIGH blood PREssunE.

In a study OF 100 cases of high
blood pressure by DR.. T. c. Janeway,
now of Johns Hopkins school. short
ness of breath on exertion was the
eight cases. Shortness OF breadth ap-
pcared at times during rest In twenty
four cases.
Pain about the region OF the heart
was present In fifteen cases. Swelling
OF tho legs in eleven cases The kid
neys excreted excessively In thirty
two cases
Headache was a prominent symp-
tom In fifteen cases. eight OF which
developed gradual urem!a.
Fourteen cases showed loss of ncsh
sixteen were called "ncurasthenic"
Man Is Old ns His Arteries.
These hundred cases Were the fatal
cases selected from group OF 500
patients with high blood pressure
They were under observation for some
eight years.
Only five OF them were persons under
forty years. E!ghty-hve were beyond
the half-century mark. The youngest
was sixteen. the disease of the arteries
In this instance following two years
after mild attack of scarlet fever
The oldest was eighty. This latter
patient had arterial hardening and
urinary retention from an enlarged
PROSTATE gland. But the sixteen-year-
old lad was as old as the eighty-year-
Old man. ~ man is as old as his
arteries.
,Senility Is largely question of
tubing. Old age is state OF mind.
Drink from the Fountain of Youth
Twenty-Five of thsse cases sue
cumbcd TO gradual heart failure,
twenty developed chronic uremia fif-
teen had urem!c commissions or coma
fourteen had apopleNy, and various
complications terminated the history OF
the rest.
But what does the study teach?
That high blood pressure is strain
upon the heart, brain and Kidneys
That nephritis or Brishts disease
Iapoplcxy or stroke of paralysis. and
heart failure in most instances, arc
primarily artcrial in origin. They are
various ways in which high blood
pressure manifests itself.
The factors of artcrial hardening arc
pretty we'll understood. Let every man
pause at thirty or thirty-hve and take
stock OF the rate at which he Is liv-
Ing. Is he putting on weight? Is no
growing a "corporation?" Is he losing
his wind? Can't he tackle the physical
stunts he formerly found easy? Maybe
he needs a drink from the fountain of
youth. Let him settle the question by
going to the family doctor and having
his blood pressure measured. If It
is too high the doctor can tell him
how to conserve his arteries.

Baseball on a Volcano.


These are troubous times In baseball In
all the history OF the national game, players,
patrons and magnates have net been more deep
~ stirred nor more apprehensive to the
future of tho sport. The more spectacular event
in the days ncws-the threatened strike of the
major league players-has been suddenly
settled as the threat appeared. However. tho
settlement may be explained by the club own
ers. or Mr.. Ebbets. OF Brooklyn. every follower
of the situation realized the tremendous pos
sibilities for disaster to organized baseball In
the United states had the players held firmly
to their announced determination, and the mag
nates-as promised by tho big and clustering
Ban Johnson-closed every baseball park In
the country controlled by organized baseball
But tho strike and It's possibilities are Ittle
things In comparison with the decision OF
Justice Bissell at Buffalo in which he declares
that organized baseball Is as complete q mo-
nopcly OF the baseball business for profit as any
monopoly can be made. ut is in contravention
10 the common law in that it invades the right
to contract as Il property right. and in that II
is Il combination to restrain and control the ex-
ercise of profession Calling
How far-reaching this decision will be cannot
be thoroughly estimated this time If IL
means that every player in organized baseball
who has placed his name to n contract con-
tanning the ten-day clause can jump his CON
tract after giving ten days notice then the
whole fabric OF organized baseball Is threatened
with immediate dissolution.-Boston Transcript.

Hnbit-Formtng Drugs.

Backers OF the Boylan drug law. which went
into effect in this State on July J. bent
on securing Federal legislation restricting the
sale and use of habit forming drugs. Although
the Harrison bill before Congress-. was
designed to regulate the sale of opium, cocaine
and heroin 1t docs not meet with tho approval
of the trainers OF the Boylan law. Amcndmen ts
excepting druggists. physicians and vetcrina-
rians have. they say, destroyed it's effectiveness
In defense of their stand against the Harrison
BILL they offer the results of their inquiries
in New York. which show physicians be
the most dangerous dispensers of drugs.
Cooperation of the medical societies should
he a valuable asset In dealing with such
'phNscians but Federal law enabling the
antidrug forces to trace the drug from the
manufactured TO tho ultimate consumer Will
make the task easier
The government has sought through It's Gus
toms service to restrict the importation of
drugs Nevertheless 100000 pounds of opium
came into the United States last year, and of
this amount II Is estimated that fully so per
cent was used for illegal purposes.-Buffaio

Sardines on Toast.--Therc arc
great number OF ways OF preparing this
lunch dish. Tho simplest way. one as
acceptable as any. Is to heat them UP
In little olive oil and .serve them
extremely hot on strips OF toast with
little lemon Juice squeezed over them
The heating brings out their flavor and
makes them almost like fresh fish,
They may be heated In butter. but
oil Is better. II OF good quality When
II Is not convenient 10 make toast the
fish may be served on crackers, but
this preparation IS more palatable II
the crackers are at least heated and
buttcred. Instead OF heating each sepa-
rately the crackers may be buttered
strips of sardines laid upon them and
lightly buttered. then sprinkled with
paprika and few drops OF lemon
Juice. and the whole heated on a boiler
This method OF preparing them is only
for strong stomachs. Hot butter is not
digestibie: oil is more so. Instead OF
bread or crackers. slices OF cold rice,
hom!ny or mush may be dipped in
milk and egg beaten together: put in
a buttered pan with n sardinc Hllet
on each. and then brown lightly in the

Tho peroxide is risky, we should say:
Its explosive force in contact with the
