WASHINGTON. SPEED MANIAC
But in His Day They Did Not Blame
Hurry for Heart Disease Deaths

Commencing on the increasing proper
tion of deaths from heart disease. the
editor of the New York Medical Jour
nal says that the hustle and hustle of
modern life is called into service from
time TO time as a scapegoat TO account
for these deaths
1T is goat" he SAYS. which has
lived longer than any ordinary animal
Of this name. for if one reads history
he finds that half century or n century
since men We're. according to the state
nentg of observers of those times. rush
ing about like mad and taking made
quate rest between ruSheS. Even the
Staid George Washington had the speed
mania. He desired no other traits in a
horse save that it would go along at
breakneck speed, and he was up in the
shCrt hours had breakfast by candle
light, and was off after the hounds be-
fore day, at least three times a week
All very bad for the heart.
Those who in earlier days bewailed
the hurry and rush of their generation

We're privileged 10 a wider choice as 10
the manner Of their demise. and they
were more frequently taken off at a time
of life when the heart was still in good
working condition. Besides. men were
not so officially and officiously curious

pariure. At the pore advanced ages TO
which we now persist there is bound to
be more sudden swapping of the cord.
though heart disease may be in itself a
scapegoat, since some explanatory cause
must be vouchsafed by guess in lieu of
better knowledge
The heart may end its beatings. not
from heart disease, but from kidney or
arterial disease. and from causes very
far removed from hurry and hustle. In
fact the muscular efforts pat forth in
vigorous activity. while bad for bad
heart, may be good for a good one. since

Or. Tucker expressed much regret
over leaving the town. where he has
been successful practitioner for so
many years and where he has formed
such close and extremely pleasant affili-
ations with various organizations in adj
dition to the intimate friendships which
he has enjoyed with many of the towns
people. He stated that he would al
ways regard BrattleborO as his home.
for he has spent the major portion of
his life here. having come to Brattleboro
in 1874. He has seen the town double
in population.
For the past two years. DIR. Tucker
has been gradually giving up his prac-
tfce. and the time has come when he
feels that il is best for him to retire to
private life. His service to the town will
always be remembered in view of his re-
markable work for BrattIeboro as health
efficer, to which office he was appointed
by the state board of health for five
consecutive times. His first appoint
ment was in 1905 and his careful and
painstaking attention to the health af-
fairs of the town always merited the ap-
proval of the townspeople.
Or. Tucker will reach his S0th birth
day May /. next year.

working together are faster than one
going it alone. And combination of
two fingers on opposite hands is faster
than two fingers on the same hand
