are better ways for a citizen to

berating the man the people have
elected to that high office and call

neither brains nor manliness to do. "

than tUberculosisy Can nothing be

done TO cope With it,
Medical authorities are agreed
that even in comparatively advanced
cases much can be done. This has
been strikingly demonstrated by.
for example. some experimental
work carried on In Bellevue hos.
pital. New York
This work Vas in the nature OF
establishing classes in which heart
patients could learn what precau-
tions they ought. To take 10 avoid
bringing on acute attacks. thus rem
dering their heart action weaker
and weaker. 4 social worker was
enlisted TO do folloW-up work after
the patients had been discharged
from the hospital.
Some remarkable results are re
/, ported. Six patients Who had spent
a total OF 25l days in Bellevue be-
fore the opening OF the class. did
not have TO spend a day in any hos
pital during the first year after the
class was started.
But prevention. OF course. - bet
ter than amelioration. and il Is
necessary both 10 detect heart cases
in their incipiency, and 10 educate
the public az TO avoidable causes
OF heart trouble To attain both
these ends many agencies will have
TO cooperate.
Editorially. the Journal OF the
American Medical association
makes some important recommends
tions.
II urges more careful medical ex-
aminations for heart defects in
school children, specialized school
ing and vocational training for az
fected children. more emphasis on
the control OF those infectious dis
eases which have serious heart aft
er-efYects. and widespread educa-
tion regarding necessary precautions
and suitable occupations for cardiac
patients"
To these weli-considered sugges.
tions. ! would add the education OF
the general public in developing
emotional control.
Medical science has yet a good
deal to learn regarding the various
factors which cause heart disease.
But among other things that ii def
nitely knows is that worry. fear,
anger. and similar emotional states.
IL persisted In. have a damaging ef-
feet on the heart.
n is not only the man with the
weak heart who should control his
temper, avoid worry. and in general
curb emotional excitement OF any
kind.
No man. no matter how strong his
heart may be, can AFFORD TO worry,
or to lose emotional control n he
persistently allows his emotions 10
overwhelm him. he is almost certain
TO weaken his heart.
This one fact alone. II kept in
mind and acted on, will do much to
check the increase in heart disease
now viewed with real apprehension
by medical authorities.

Prosperity and War Economy

Prosperity and the high cost OF living general
" travel together. Therefore the most thought
full of the woman's magazines OF the day are
placing considerable emphasis on the increasing
necessity for the American women TO STUDY
economy.
Prominent English women are making the
same preachment Among the English apostles
OF war economy is Flora Annie Steel who has
written more successful novels than any woman
of her time with the exception OF Marie Corelli
Mrs Steele knows that increased domestic econ
omy means more work for housewives.
But she also believes that women should un
dertake this extra work in willing spirit and
not look upon IL as hardship.
Speaking of novel writing and housework.
she saws "I have done every kind Of servants
work in my own house and have found IL light
beyond comparison
Thousands OF American women who work for
wages will agree with Mrs. Steele.
Most OF them have home OF some Kind 10

ent. invalid child 10 cook for
They know that housework is not hardship
and that the average woman could and should
do a little more Of It, IL this prosperity is to
have any permanent effect upon the welfare O.;
