about their blood pressure nova
days. one would think high blood
pressure were some kind OF disease,
The way they talk about il when
they meet n doctor. u is hard 10
make them understand that high
blood pressure IS not q disease and
not necessarily of serious import. 1
suspect Senator Harding worries
little about his blood pressure.
merely from the way he alluded TO
the factors which increase blood
pressure. did not mean TO add
TO his worries. but / took occasion
10 say that the immediate effect OF
the Crug tobacco is 20 elevate the
blood pressure TO a greater degree
than any other known factor. one
can imagine the senator out for
motor ridc-you viii note in the
daily news dispatches that he does
considerable mOtOring-and worry
ing over his blood pressure; worry
increases the blood pressure. 20 De
sure. and sO-wcI dear me- how
greatly he needs. some one 90 remind
him 10 save gasoline and try out his
boots for a change. If Senator Hard
ing has too much blood pressure
which would not he surprising in a
man of his age and his neglectfuI
habits-tWO or three miles of ONy-
gen on the hOof every day would
work wonders. If he has not vet
developed an abnormally high pres
sure then four or FIVE miles of cXy-
gen on the Loof would help burn up
and dispose Of that superiluous fod-
der which social amenities compel
the poor man 10 INCEST.
Speaking of overeating fasting
and restriction Of diet. the senator
told me that he once tasted five
DAYS and with marked benefit 10 his
health. He is also a follower OF
some OF the sound doctrines of Dr.
]. II. Kellogg Of Battle Greek. and
he mentioned Upton Sinclair as hav-
ing inspired his fasting experiment
But the senator does not take much
stock in the various self-styled food
specialists or faddists. He believes
in temperance in eating-but IL is
bard to be temperate For instance
the morning / visited him he COM
planned that the arrival Of some
friends the night before had upset
his routine Usually he plans 20 re-
tire around 10 o'clock and get eight
solid hours OF sleep. But he had not
retired until about l o'clock that
morning. Then AT breakfast he had
eaten q whole lot too much Watfies
and everything whereas he ordinar-
ily breaks his fast on some fresh
fruit, cereal. a bit OF toast and a Guy
of coffee.
His own inclination would be 20
take no midday lunch. after such q
hearty breakfast. But he expected
they would drag him in 10 lunch re-
4 @F 1,F 70 u &c
guests he would have 10 eat lunch.
You see2 The senator sadly needs
a guardian. a health guardian, one
Of the Muldoon striDe.
How lie Learns From His Dog
Senator Harding stands approNm-
uatelv six feet tall and weights p
good two hundred pounds. He
might with advantage weigh abOu.
fifteen pounds less. There is just
about that much Stacker tissue t2di-
nose. whose cells must he nourished
but do no useful work. distributed
chiefly below the diaphragm. Men
so burdaned should sedulously avoid I
two things. namely. social overeaung /
and carriage exercise.
