les. which WIN undoubtedly interest
many OF the readers OF this column.
HIS questions. with the answers
given, are.
Is there a necessary relation be-
tween valvular leakage OF the heart.
hardening Of the arteries and high
blood pressure
There may be a very direct rela-
ton between valvuiar leakage OF the
heart. hardening OF the arter,s and
high blood pressure. The two con-
ditions last mentioned usually 20 TO-
gether. So far as the valvular leak
age IS concerned. a number OF diff
ferent factors may be involved
Does any one OF these weaknesses
promote the other. or one OF the
others?
The change known as hardening
OF the arteries" usually results in an
increased blood pressure. II may
als1 affect the heart valves, so that
there may be thickening and stifen-
ing OF the valves. IN this way 4;
would also affect the valvular
trouble.
Does either one OF them interfere
with the taking OF exercise in the
pursuit OF cne's calling?
The exercise should be proper
toned 10 the patients ability 20 carry
on the increased circulatory demands
made on the heart as the result OF
such exercise.
Cannot al Of these be subdued by
an absternious diet? know that
much abstinence interferes with the
regular action of the bowels. but
have horror OF medicine.
Regulation OF the diet Is import
ant. but as a rule it Is not as i'm
portant as is regulation OF exercise
and avoidance Of overexertion. In
some cases, almost absolute rest in
bed, or a chair, is advisable.
In other cases. 1t Is very import
ant TO give a rapidly active, fiutter-
ing heart a degree OF rest by the ad-
ministration of such drugs as "digi-
tails"
In still other cases, the action Of
an overworked heart can be greatly
relieved by the administration OF
drugs, or the use of other remedies,
which will reduce the contraction
Of the arteries. and thus lower the
resistance encountered by the heart
in carrying on the circulation.

WOULD GIVE BANKS
MORE PROTECTION
Comptroller of Currency
Urges Congress to Pass
Needed Measure.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 75.-Sa-
tional banks must be made abso-
lutely immune from failure because
Of bank runs or other sudden en-
ergenciee. To this end Comptroller
OF the Currency williams has urged
congress to amend the banking law
20 allow solvent banks TO meet runs
with funds obtained from federal
reserve banks upon good securities
which are not now eligible" as Sc
curity under the law as IL stands.
The suspension Of a large and
sound national bank because OF It's
inability 20 realize promptly on hign-
grade securities and loans IN order
20 meet a run might precipitate a
panic and financial crisis which IL
might be difficult 20 stem" Williams
told congress. He said banks should
be given further protection in such
emergencies.
The comptroller asserted that
amendment OF the bank act. such as
ne recommends. would prove dis
tinctly saIutary." and would largely
dispeI nervousness which sometimes
arises in financial circles because Of
the possible dangers OF the situation
as the law IS now framed. He main
tains this step would also inspire in
creased confidence in the whole
banking field.
Make Failure Impossible.
with such an amendment as
suggest the suspension or failure Of
an honestly conducted national bank
would be practically impossible"
said Williams.
Discussing his proposal, Mr.. VIII
iiams said II would operate not only
for greater safety for banking In
stltutions. but would provide further
guarantee OF the security OF the
funds intrusted 20 the banks by de-
positors.
ComptrOlle- Williams reiterated
that the nations banks are safe and
sound, and are more secure than at
any previous period in history. But
ne said the adoption OF additional
safeguards will raise banking con-
f1dence 70 maximum. Assurance to
the public. he contends. that bank
failures are virtually fmpOssi bic
would bring out hidden wealth into
