HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

I rize authoritative medical opinion re-
garding pressure-reducing measures
which should be taken by persons afflicted
with an abnormally high blood pressure, I
would note first the emphasis that physi-
clans in general put on diet.
In advanced cases, especially when &C
companied with heart or kidney cough,
the most rigid of dieting is insisted upon,
some restricting the diet to vegetables,
fruits and SKINNED milk. In other cases
a more liberal diet is permitted, though
patients are warned to eat little or no meats
and meat soups, and to beware OF any
excess Of carbohydrates (starchy foods) or
purins (found in peas and beans as we'll as
fish and meats).
Also there is an increasing tendency to
limit or prohibit the use of salt by suffer-
ers from high blood pressure It has even
been claimed that by this measure alone
elimination of salt from the diet) a posi-
tive cure may be effected in certain cases.
In any event, the salt intake may well be
lessened on general principles. Nearly all
OF us are inclined to eat more salt than is
really good for u.s. Similarly as regards
spices and condiments Simple foods are
the best for everybody, and simplicity in
diet cannot be too strongly urged on blood
pressure patients.

the same reason, and because of their anti

Care must always be taken, though, to eat
no foodstuffs known to tax unduIy the in

So, too, care must be taken to avoid I'M

that some cases of high blood pressure are
due directly to the wearing of tight cloth
ing; in especial, tight collars and neck
bands. Any change to looser clothing, on
the other hand, should be gradual, lest the
pressure fall too rapidly.
There should be definite periods for rest
during the day; also periods for exercise, to
be taken preferably in such forms as walk
ing, golf bowling, horseback riding, and
light calisthenics. Work should be regu-
lated to ones strength. Always the warn
ing holds good Don't overdo."
And all SPECIALISTS in the treatment OF
high blood pressure add the further warn
ing, Don't worry" This may be difficult
advice to follow, but the fact remains that
to acquire cheerful, courageous, confident
attitude toward the outcome of ones case
and toward life in general is of the first
importance in bringing the blood pressure
down.
AS an aid to the acquiring of such an
attitude, and as being in itself of curative
value, Dr. Lewellys F. Barker's formula is
of special significance to every patient:

recreation, an interest in some hobby, and

Ne1o Fuel From Coal

~ CHEMISTS warn us at periodic intervals
that Americas supply of fuel cannot last
~ always. The rate of coal consumption has
been accurately calculated to a future van
ishing point of the coal supply. Petroleum
supplies are of such vital Importance that in
ternational diplomacy often hinges upon
them. More than one small war has been
fought for petroleum. We are not disposed
to worry about the fuel supply, because the
calculations put the vanishing point suffi-
GENTLY in the future to insure the present
generation a sufficiency of heat, light and
power.
But what of the future generation that
finds it's civilization erected upon fuel, and
finds it's fuel exhausted?
It is not too early for scientists, at least,
and far-sighted captains of industry to begin
to probe for fuel substitutes and methods of
reducing fuel waste and devices for obtain
ing increased utility.
One Of the most important achievements
along this line, as Interestingly reported in
the Literary Digest, is discovery by Walter
e. Trent, formerly an engineer of the United
States Bureau Of Mines, Of method of in
creasing the productivity of coal to a very
high degree.
Like many discoveries, he came upon it
somewhat accidentally, while experimenting
with an internal combustion engine which
would burn coal dust. His problem was to
rid the cylinders of ash In overcoming that
difficulty he hit upon the formula for Trent
Amalgam, as his product is known
Briefly stated, his method consists in re-
ducing coal to fine powder, eliminating the
ash by means of repeated washings, ANAL
gamating oil with the coal powder and burn
ing the resultant amalgam.
So impressive a demonstration was he able
to make of the increased power content OF
given tonnage of this new form Of fuel that
Lord Pirrie is reported to have redesigned
the bunkers of the White Star liners out of
Baltimore, so as to use Trent-Amalgam in
stead of ordinary bunker COAL
"The resultant amalgam," according to the
writer quoted by the Literary Digest, will
show rs per cent of oil, 70 per cent of carbon
and per cent of ash and moisture. The COM
pleted product will stow in ships bunkers
so per cent more Thermal units than is POS
sible with the best of Pocahontas coal, which
is deemed by the United States Navy to be the
best steaming coal available. 1t may be
slowed dry, plastic or in semi-liquid form. In
any form it shovels freely and spreads as
that the amalgam has AZ per cent steaming
advantage over the best steaming coal avail
able. It is claimed that the quicker and bet
ter burning of the amalgam in comparison
with other fuels, particularly COAL is great
factor in insuring the maximum efficiency of
boilers, and that burning amalgam in fire
box will show 150-horse power efficiency as
against 100-horse power from coal under like
conditions"

asks

a CORRESPONDENT asks:
~ ''Why do men love bad women more
IA than they do good women, and why is
more faithful to a mistress than he
is to his wife,"
The answer to this is that they don't, and
aren't.
I know that there is widespread belief
among women that the worse woman is,
the more she fascinates men, and that you
can hold man more securely by a silken
thread than you can by a hawser, but the
fallacy hasn't single foundation in fact to
rest upon. 1t is true that. there are cases
where a man loves a wicked woman, but 1t
is in spite of her sins, never because of them.
1t is also true that there is an occasional
man who is loyal to an Illicit love, but he. is
as scarce as hens teeth, whereas there are
millions of good and faithful husbands.
In proof whereof observe that the vamp
has to be always on the job of vamping, and
that it is only while she is young and beau
tiful, and full of pep and thrills that men
a bad woman after she has lost her COM
plexion and her figure, and her eyes have
grown bleary, and her hair has gotten griz-
zled, and her last vestige of physical attrac-
ton has gone. But we all know of good wom-
en- who are old and homely, at whose feet
men worship as at the shrine of a saint.
AS for the theory that men feel more
bound by a sentimental tie than they do by
legal bond-pouf-for that fairy tale!
ward to justify polygamy and the concubine
system as it prevails in the Orient, is that it
forces man to provide for the woman who
has been his plaything, and whom he
breaks, and filings away when he is tired OF
her.
For there are no romances that get so
bedraggIed, and that wear out so quickly as
those under the rose. There is no woman OF
whom man is so sure to tire as the one he
does not respect, and whom he cannot in
troduce to his mother, or his friends. There
is no relationship Of which man is so sure
| to repent as that into which he enters in the
moment of passion and that he realizes in
the cold gray morning after, will handicap
him through life.
There is no woman that man so wants
to free himself from, as the woman who is
a drag about his feet, and there is no wom-
an so badly treated, so kicked about like a
dog, as the woman who represents to man
the folly of fancy that is dead. The gut
ters are full of women who believed men
when they told them that the marriage yoke
CALLED the masculine neck, and that the way
to keep a man bound was to leave him alb
solutely free.
| They knew how little Of this was true,
poor lost souls, when the men to whom they
had given all, married wives, or went from
them to fresher, younger faces, and they

OUIPS AND QUIDDITIES

A very stout man mounted the scales in
a downtown drug store and dropped penny
in tn eslot. There was some wait, and the
in the slot. There was some wait, and the
contraption, and the pointer finally came to
a rest somewhere not far from the 800 mark.
There was an unseen witness to the cere-
mony, and, as the fat man woefully contem-
plated the result, the voice Of a wee, small
boy piped up from behind him. "Say, mister,
how many times did it go around?'
An old gentleman happened to be passing
football field when game was in prog
ress. He stopped to watch it for few min
utes, and then the referee blew his whistle
for half time.
A little later the old man found one Of the
players standing alone quite near him.
Football is a rough game, don't you
think?" the dear old gentleman ventured.
Sometimes" replied the player non-com-
mittingly.
Sometimes, I suppose, player gets kill
ed?" the old gentleman asked fearfully.
Sometimes" answered the player
'And what do you do them"
1--WE generally have funeral" the play
er said sharply, and then doubled back to his
position on the field as the whistle blew for
the second half.
They were talking about friend and his
motor bike.

interrupted.

The prisoner turned to reply.

DOROTHY DIX TALKS-The Fifty-Seven Different
Varieties of Love

found themselves thrown aside as ignomin-
iously as an old garment.
There are many reasons why it is inevl-
table that man should weary of the woman
to whom he sustains an illicit relationship
sooner than he does Of the woman to whom
he is married. One thing is that sentiment
plays but small part in the life OF the
average man. He soon tires OF love-maKlng.
Kisses pail upon him. With the woman 10
whom he is married he can then faH pack
upon the role of partner.
He has the interest of founding home
and family with her. He has children IN
whom he can take pride. They have the same
friends, go in the same society. They nave
thousand mutual interests that bind them
together
On the other hand the setting up of lit
tie establishment with woman who is not
his wife, is done in secrecy and shame. IL
there are children, they are nameless, ana d
tragedy. He cannot take the woman into his
world, and when he descends to hers 1t is TO
mingle with those for whom he has con-
tempt. And he never trusts the woman, be-
cause he knows that she who was too weak
to resist temptation once, will not be
strong enough to fight it second time.
Men are more faithful to their wives than
they are to their mistresses because men
are unconsciously influenced by the mere
fact that they have made marriage con-
tract. They have entered into definite, con-
crete covenant that can be enforced by law,
and they are much more apt TO respect Cnat
than they are mere implied gentleman s
agreement. 1t is the feeling that he has got
to stand by bad bargain, that he can't go
back on the trade he has made, even if it is
losing one, that makes many man stand
by woman who is nagging, and lazy, and
high-tempered, and extravagant, and every
thing that is repulsive to him in woman.
OF course, there are men who default on
their marriage VOWS but most of them are
pretty good sports who live up to the terms
of the agreement they have entered into.
Another advantage that the wife has is
that the mere fact that she is mans wife
sets her apart in his eyes, and makes her
superior to other women. She belongs to
him. She is his pick of all womenkind. She
bears his name, and his vanity is her shield
and bulwark. That is why man can even
have a passing fancy for some other wom-
an, and still admire his wife above all other
women, and in his soul be true to her.
And men admire goodness in women more
than any other quality. They may be lured
by beauty and fascinated by wit and charm,
but the thing that holds a man to the end
is the belief in a womans goodness that is
as sure as his faith in God.
The wicked woman may have her hour,
but the good woman has all time. Don't for
get that, sister. r

Applicants for membership are rigidly ex-

visible abrasions Of the feelings can be shown,
so much the better.
The cha ter sets out that the club dates
back to 1000 3. c., the authority for this
date being somewhat obscure. However,
most of the members accept it unquestion-

The Rub7e

~ CUNT ILYA TOLsTOY, in Atlanta re-
Gently, made the statement that the
government printing presses in Rus
STA could not print enough paper money in a
year to pay for their operation for that pc
riod. That staggering estimate appears to
be borne cut by the latest financial and eco
nomic reports from the soviet-ridden coun-
try.
The soviet authorities; it is said, have an
nounced that the rice of tramway, or street
car, tickets in Moscow would be seventy
five thousand to one hundred and twenty
thousand rubles, according to the distance
travelled.
This is for one fare; not dollar-book of
seven-cent tickets.
That makes the American street railway
company look Xix a piker when it comes
to hiking the traffic tax.
In Soviet Russia now anything under a
ten thousand ruble note is not worth pocket
spare. And you have to have large supply
of these it you contemplate a street car ride
or a shave.
In January sixteen trillions of rubles
printed In figures, sixteen trillions is
10000, 600, 100000. 1t looks like a long
string, for money. L would be an incredible
string, If it were money and not rubles. Yet
the ruble used to be the Russian dollar.
A white collar in Red Russia costs fifty
thousand rubles, which may be the reason
that Russia is reTarded as no place for the
white-collar man.
Apartment rentals are reported as rang
ing from ten million to two hundred mil
lion rubles-the possible equivalent of from
twenty to 400 dollars.
American landlords also are pikers, by
comparison.
The 1922 budget calls for appropriations
amounting to two quadrillions Of paper
rubles.
All of which goes to show what a gov
eminent can do by printing money freely
against no sound basis in go d or other
ponderable asset. AS logical development
whether it has reached that point yet or
not-the presses sometime will be unable to
print money fast enough to pay for their
own operation.
The ruble is about on par with stage
money now.

FURS
By DR.. Frank Crane

A news item from Olympia, Washington,
this last winter, gave some interesting in
formation about those animals which supply
mankind with furs.
No human skill has ever been able to
construct any sort of clothing that will keep
out the cold and at the same time have a
minimum of weight, so we'll as the furs
of animals.
1 note the following points which the
correspondent made. The greatest bread.
winner for the northwest trapper is the
muskrat. The sale of it's skin brings him
more money than any other fur animal.
During the past season there were dressed
and dyed as Hudson seal in America some
100000 muskrats.
Those caught within a hundred miles of
the Columbia river are the largest and
have the best fur, although the muskrat is
found from the Yukon to the Gulf States.
The Columbia region excels, perhaps, be-
cause there the rat has abundance of food
all the year.
The skunk is a close second to the
muskrat in fur value. The excellence of
the skunk is that, whereas he thrives
with civilization, the beaver, mink, raccoon
and the like may become extinct. It is
entirely practical to raise skunks upon the
farm at a profit. The glands which cause
their disagreeable odor can easily be re-
moved, as has been demonstrated by Ernest
Seton Thompson.
The marten is found in all the forests
of the northwest. In Alaska he is called
Hudson Bay sable His skin is in SUCH
demand that Alaska has established close
season in order to re-establish the market.
The mink furnishes one of the most
durable and satisfactory of furs Mink
are easy to trap.
The best are now taken from the interior
Of Alaska on the Porcupine river
The fisher is a large specimen of the
marten family, whose black coat and long
tail are very handsome.
The fur of the wolverine is said to be
the only kind in existence that will repel
the formation of FROST and so is used
largely in cold countries to protect the
neck and face.
The choicest ermine skins come from
northern Alaska and Siberia. The ermine
is highly priced, as the black tip at the
end of it's tail is in striking contrast to
it's white coat.
The otter and beaver are the largest of
the fur bearers, and both have been hard
pressed for existence the last few years.
The constant war upon fur-bearing ami
mails will in time extinguish them, unless
some means are taken to domesticate them.
/ They are of such Importance to the COM
for of the human race that every effort
should be made by the government to con-
serve them.
