Too High Blood Pressure
Is Best Reduced By Sleep,
Fresh Air, and Mild Diet
By DIR. LEONARD KEENE H1RsHBERG.
iCopyrlaht 1915 BY Newspaper Feature Servi ce Inc

n ~ ANY modern cities nowadays,
NU in preparation for great fires,
wi have what is known as a high
pressure system of water
pipes. In these underground tubes. wa
ter is always kept under great pressure
by a system of machines and pumps
at a pumping station some distance
away. II the pumps cease at any mo-
ment to work. the pressure Of water In
them falls. Should an emergency then
occur. such as some serious conhagra-
ton over a large city area, extensive
damage would follow.
When the human machine begins to
develop within its pipes-the arteries
and veins-a high pressure system of its
own. the whole human economy under
goes change to meet the new state
OF affairs In infancy, childhood, youth,
and placid middle life. II no accidents,

Snort Strains Worst.
At all times in a living mammal this
normal blood pressure is maintained by
the heat and work Of the heart. the tone
and elasticity of the veins and arteries,
the amount Of blood present, its thin.
ness or thickness. and the resistance OF
the tiny arterioles and venules in the
skin. If the slightest disorder, insta-
bility or lack Of equalizing balance
takes place in any OF the half-dozen
elements which are concerned with
normal blood pressure. that pressure at
once goes either higher or lover than
that Of average good health.

The Beautiful Gavotte, One
of the Most Simple of
Dances, Has Been Mod
ernized for Its Presentation
in the Ballroom of Today.
Described bv VERNON CASTLE.

Described bv VERNON CASTLE.
YT was Madcmolselle Pavlowa who
has shown this generation how
i beautiful the aavotte really is,
and in doing so she has proved
the value of simplicity in dancing.
] have not yet. however. seon Il
generally danced in the ball room.
the reason for which feel may be
that, as taught, 1t has not been suf-
ficicntly modernized for the bait
room. 1t is with this end in view.
therefore, that make my humble
effort to teach, and my appeal to
you TO dance. the new Gavotte. The
music for the gavotte can be pur-
chased in any music store, and YOU
will find scores of selections from
which to choose.
"The Glow Worm" Best Music.
The most popular modern piece Of
music, and probably the easiest to
learn the dance by. is THE Glow
Worm" My wife and ], on our re-
cent tour. used the '"Norwegian
Dances by Grteg.
You commence the modern gavotte
BY rocking forward. the lady on her
right foot. the gentleman on his left,
for two beats. You will notice that
the gentleman holds each Of the
lady'a hands in his very lightly. and
never at any time throughout the
dance is his arm around her waist.
For the gavotte there are eight
beats to the measure. After rock
ing forward for two beats. then you
rock backward on the other foot for
two beats. After that you take
three walking steps forward for
three beats and pause for the last
and eighth beat-ready to commence
the step aSD::i. II this is gone over
carefully you will have no difficulty
in grasping what the step Is, and
this Is really the only step In the
modern gavotte. 1t will be noticed
that there are only five steps to
eight beats of music. and you can
do the counting this way:
3 5
one and two and ono two three and
The Second Step.
The second step is practically the
same as the first; in fact the
lady's part is exactly the same. and
the gentlemar turns in front Of her
and does the same step backward
