nan0U, hardening Of Arteries
Said to Be Symptoms

Many people do not know
that high blood pressure Is
responsible for their sad con-
dition. They cannot sleep at
might, have constant head
aches. poor memory. palpita-
-tion and are rapidly becom-
ing nervous wrecks. They are
old before their time, the
least exertion exhausts them
and their friends often give
them up for lost. Hardening
Eof the arteries and often heart
failure are results of a con-
tinuation Of the condition.
= Medical authorities say nigh
blood pressure is growing al
together too common among
the American people. This
condition, they say is some
times brought on by overwork.
E-1oss of sleep. worry, lack of
proper exercise, overeating or
over-i n d u1g ence Of other
kinds. When high blood pres
sure is lowered 1t is generally
agreed by those who know
that many ailments disappear
and heath Is restored.
One Of the first acts of a
| physician making q physical
examination is to take the
blood pressure. If the exam
ination is for life insurance
and the blood pressure is too
high the policy may be
refused as the risk is regard
ed as too great.
If you have any Of the
symptoms Of high blood pres
sure enumerated above do not
delay action until too late.
Take steps at once to reduce
the blood pressure to normal.
The rules laid down by an
eminent authority are: moder-
ats eating. avoid excuses of
al kinds. get plenty Of sleep

/ Many who have tried Kar-
dak claim almost instantane-

WHIPPING OF CON-
VICTS Is BARRED
In FLORIDA


Tallahassee, Fla, May 15.-Fi-
nal passage of bill to ban corporal
punishment of convicts in this state
was effected today when the Senate
by a vote Of 15 to 13 refused to re-
consider its action yesterday in ban
ming the whip.
The action of the Senate meant that
a bill requiring the state officials to
eliminate whipping from their calen-
dar Of prescribed punishment, now
goes to the governor.
1t was considered as a foregone
conslusion that the governor would
sign the bill and thereby Florida
would effect the first of prison re-
forms growing out of the death Of
Martin Talbert of North Dakota
Both houses have already passed
bill to abolish the convict lease system
but It is now in conference committee
for the purpose of bringing the two
houses to agreement on a less I'M
portant phase.
