During an attack put the feet in hot water or rub some good stimulating ltni- ment over the stomach and spine. Tn some cases 1t is due to pressure or obstructions of tumors, etc., or by le- sionS.

AMERICAN VITALITY
DECLINING RAPIDLY
Experiments by Life Extension Insti-
tute Show that Nation Is Degen-
Grating, Says Physician.

New York, Nov. l9-Experlments con-
Quoted last year by the Life Extension
Institute indicate a startling decline Ia
American vitality and an enormous in
crease in diseases of the blood, hesrt and
other organs.
The institute was founded a yea ago
and includes in its directorate former
President Taft, f. r. L. Gould, Frank
a. VanderliP. Robert w. De Forest, FL
mer E. Rittenhouse, and DR.. Eugene Ly-
man Fisk.
President Rittenhouse and DR.. Fisk
gave today a preliminary survey Of the
results Of their experiments.
There recently has been completed the
examination of fifteen hundred employees
OF banks and trust companies who would
be placed in the preferred class" by in
surance companies. The average age
was only thirty. Their life apparently is
temperate, their incomes sufficient TO give
them comfortable homes and the best of
food.
Yet s. per cent of these men needed
treatment or medical supervision for dis
eases of the heart, arteries. or kidneys.
or showed symptoms that indicated the
approach of these diseases.
What is the basic cause Of this con-
dition?' Mr.. Rittenhouse was asked.
Just this" he replied. People drink
in too little fresh air and then guzzle
great quantities Of food and liquor. That
is the answer"

FOR PEACE In MEXICO

Chlcago. Nov. l9.-John Lind. former
governor of Minnesota and President
wilson's former personal emissary to
Mexico. declared in an address before
the Industrial Club of Chicago in the
Congress Hotel tonight that permanent
peace is impossible in Mexico on the
basis of a continuance of present So

even If Huerta had been recognized
and AFFORDED the opOrtunity to borrow
all the money Europe would lend he
could not have established peace. He
obtained in various ways and used
upward of 2OO,OOO,OOO pesos during his
brief career. Despite this he was un
able to make any substantial headway
against the constitUtionalists, though
they were carrying on their opera
tions practically without funds.
There is a class Of Mexicans at whose
door the charge of lack Of patriotism
may truthfully be laid-the land owning
aristocracy. II was this class who
wrecked the Madero administration and
fomented and financed the revolution
which ended in his assassination
