ARE THEY REALLY
THAT BAD?

"The ultimate fat-head" is what
writer in Vanity Fair calls the ficti-'
tious character at whom many pur-
veyors of public entertainment, news.
and instruction set th,1i aim.
This imaginary person, who has
less sense than any one whom the
purveyor in question personally
knows, is the one you must write
down. or ''play down" or "speak
down" to-.
Hence the flood of drivel, for
which he is the supposed market.
The comic journals satirical explana-
ton is that there is no such person,
but that the editors, directors and
orators who condescend to him are
really addressing their own reflec-
tons. Which is, of course, only the
| quip discourteous.
/ But, more seriously, are the peo-
pie really as stupid as those who
play down to them pretend?
Are any politicians constituents
half as foolish as his speeches to
them indicate he thinks they are?
Is even "movie" audience as ar
rested in mental development as the
stuff they are fed implies?
And are the subscribers of any
newspaper as half-witted as some
editors treat them? For the sur

Mr., and Mrs. Jones learned that
the heart is a, pump, consisting OF
several cavities which receive the
blood brought from all parts of the
body through system Of : tubes
known as veins and arteries.
It is made up of mass of mus
cles. These enclose several cham
bers. When the muscles contract
they force the blood out of the
heart. Each chamber of the heart
is equipped with valves which keep
the blood moving in the right d.
rection.
Much of the heart trouble is the
result of these valves failing to work
properly. Many disorders of tn
body affect these valves. The edges

posing the valves, may become pit
