and pus producing process is held to
be causative agent.
1t is a disease of middle and ad-
vanced life. It is of slow growth. It
probably starts with the errors of
early life and gathers the compound
interest which is paid when the harvest
time of life is reached. 1t grows so
slowly that it presents no symptoms
the first five years of its attack. The
next few years it shows only obscure
evidence. 1t often shows itself sud-
denly by paralysis, hemorrhage of the
brain or other organic hemorrhages as
well as by certain eye symptoms.
The treatment depends upon the
cause. The eausative agent in most
cases is "high living" overeating and
improper food. Osler says that Chit
tenden's researches have shown that
we require much less heterogeneous food
to maintain a standard of perfect
health-a lesson that the Hindoos and
japanese have also taught US. He also
says that George Cheyne's aphorism
contains a volume of dietetic wisdom:
every wise man, after fifty, ought
to begin to lessen at least the quantity
of his Aliment, and if he would con-
tinue free of great and dangerous Dis
tempers and preserve his Senses and
Faculties clear to the last he ought
every seven years go on abateing
gradually and sensibly, and at last de-
scend out of Life as he assembled into
it, even into the Child's Diet" Fast
sometimes!

HARDENING OF THE ARTERIES.

HARDENING Of Td6 AhT6h16S.
In one of the daily newspapers of
this city a New York physician is
correctly or incorrectly quoted as say
ing that arterial hardening is racial
characteristic. Of all the tommy rot
concerning the socalled racial eharac-
teristics this one is hardest to swallow.
Osler in his text book Practice of
Medicine says there are many causes
of the disease; he gives eight general
causes. He does not indulge in the ra-
eial tommy rot as was thrust upon the
credulous people on Tuesday last by
the above mentioned newspaper.
A review of the medical literature
shows that all investigators are agreed
that hardening of the arteries is caused
by overeating, alcoholic beverages,
govt, lead, overuse of muscles, the
strain of modern life, worry, overwork,
too short hours of sleep, chronic states
that produce high blood pressure, syph-
ills and other intoxication.
Some observers claim and with much
evidence that meat eating is a poten-
tial cause. All agree the errors in diet
both as to quantity as well as quality
produce hardening of the arteries.
Renal or kidney disease as found in
hardening of the arteries shows a diete-
tic eausation. In the treatment of the
various forms of the disease the eating
of meat is regarded as injurious. Meat
raises blood pressure which does the
damage to the arterial walls. Pyorr-
hea alveolaris, disease of the gums

MERCHANT SUED BY A
QUADRooN.
Manicure Asserts Ardent wooer Tilted
Her; Asks $4,000.

A story of taxi rides, cafe parties,
and swift, irresistible wooing is told by
Mrs. Eloise Lewis, quadroon manicure,
in explanation of a $4,000 breach of
promise suit which she has filed against
Charles H. Heller, president of the
North American Supply Company, gen.
eral merchants at 61O3 South Halsted
street.
Mr.. Heller denies it all; she simply
did not wish to pay a bill for goods
bought from his firm. Yes, he did take
her out in a taxi-once. And he did
visit her at her home, 20 East Forty
fourth street. But he never proposed
marriage.
Says He Showered Gifts.
Mrs. Lewis, who is widow, fled her
suit in the Circuit Court, through At
torney George W. Ellis. Accompany
ing the praecipe was an affidavit set
ting forth that Mr.. Heller had pre-
scented her with some household goods,
had entertained her, and had proposed
marriage.
Mrs. Lewis was busy yesterday at
the Mecca barber shop with orange
sticks and pumice stone. But she
formed her customers into a waiting
line and turned aside to explain every,
thing.
"Mr. Heller came to the home of my
sister, Mrs. Henry White, with whom
I am living, early in September" she
said.
"Well, he talked to my sister and
went away. But few days later he
returned. He said he had come to see
me because-he-liked me. He liked
me better than any White girl he had
ever met and he wouldn It have any one
but me.
Thought He Was Sincere.
"Now, I thought he was sincere.

and my husband had been an honorable
Colored gentleman. He died about q
year ago in Kansas City, where I then
lived. So had to become a manicure
"The next week he visited me at the
barber shop, and I attended him.
Right there, in front of everybody, he
called me Sweetheart and he told

A HOME SCHOOL FOR NEGRO
GIRLS.
Hampton, Va, Special to The Broad
AK.

Colored women of Virginia, during
eight long years full of hopes and dis
appointments, have struggled to do
something worth while and Immediately
necessary for the hayward girls of
their own race. Acting through the
Virginia State Federation of Colored
Women's Clubs, these pioneers and
leaders in social-service work have
raised nearly $4,000, have bought a
farm of 147 acres at Peake in Hanover
County, Virginia, and opened what is
known as the Industrial Home School
for Colored Girls.
The word hayward has been pur-
posely omitted from the schools title.
The Colored women of Virginia, work
ing with their able president, Mrs.
Harris Barrett-a graduate of Hamp-
ton Institute and a successful settle
ment head worker-feel that the en-
phasis should be placed on the ideas
of home, industry, and school, rather
than on reform, correction, or way
wardness.
Virginia Colored club women have
received from their White friends, in
Guiding some of the most influential
and aristocratic Virginians in private
and public life, over two thousand
dollars. Best of all, they have won
and held, both in and out of Virginia,
the hearty endorsement and sympa-
thetic cooperation of hundreds of
White people. Working together in
harmony for a splendid cause they have
received for the Industrial Home
School an appropriation from the Vir-
ginia Legislature amounting to six
thousand dollars-and the promise of
more in proportion as the school helps
to solve the difficult problem of hand
ling successfully a group of hayward
Colored girls.

again. In the meantime he had given
me rug and some lace curtains. And
this night-Oct. She came home with
me and told my sister and her husband
he was going to marry me. And he
wanted me to marry him right away.
Mr.. Heller lives at $500 South Hal
sted street with some relatives. He is
unmarried.

said. 81 entertained her. But, hon
estly, I never promised to marry her."

Mr.. James McGovern has become one

change will do him good. He at least
feeh that the pure air out here, is a
reward of health.
Thought is a wonderful thing in
life's journey. A close observer GER

prove the truth of this statement.
"That words once spoken, they never
stop sounding. While catching a

line, several persons got on just ahead
of us, we noticed the silent expression
of those who desired transfers, extend
ing their hands to the conductor with
out saying a word, and of course we
got the habit, and did likewise, which
brought from him this laughable, but
serious expression from the conductor.
