With the growing knowledge of hy-
pertension and its significance in the
ranks of the medical profession has
come an increasing interest in the
subject on the part of the public. And,
as usual, the incomplete information
most people have been given regard
ing the topic has given rise to many
misconceptions, some of them as hum
orrous as they are unfounded.
What Blood Pressure Signifies
Everyone has blood pressure-a GER
tain normal degree. By blood pres
sure is meant the tension exerted upon
the walls Of an artery by the column
of blood within the vessel. When this
tension is too high or too low, for
reasons presently to be given, then it
becomes symptom of disease and a
menace to the life and well-being Of
the organism. The blood pressure is
Invisible into three phases: diastolic,
systolic, pulse. The diastolic pressure
is the tension inside the arteries dur
ing the instant the heart is resting be-
tween beats and which it must over
come by its contractile force before
the blood will begin to circulate. The
systolic pressure is the tension in the
vessels at each contraction of the
heart during which time fresh vol
ume of blood is driven into the AFTER
les. The pulse pressure is the differ

SCHOOL NOTES

Pupils of the Roosevelt school are
observing Education Week.. S. G.
Merriman gave very interesting ad-
dress Monday morning. In his speech
he stressed the need of specializing
and pointed out that a college educa-
ton is within the reach of every ambi-
tious student. Other speakers are on
the program continuing throughout
the week and it is hoped patrons will
show their interest in school work by
visiting the different class rooms and
noting the work done by their chill
dren. A short program was given
by the Seventh and Eighth grades last
evening. Parents of school children
are especially invited to attend the
program.
The pupils of the Fifth grades in
the Roosevelt school have started a
banking account. The Fifth grade
under the supervision Of Miss Sofia
Hyha leads other classes with the
largest deposit, having $102.50 up to
date.
Matt Mattila, father of Viola Mat
tia of the Fifth grade, died suddenly
Thursday. Viola's classmates are
showing their sympathy with contri-
buttons of flowers.
Several Fifth grade children have

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

enc between the diastolic and systolic
and represents the power of the heart
over and above the diastolic pressure
Numerically speaking, the relation
ship between the pulse, diastolic and
systolic pressures should be as 1, 2, g.
For example: A young adult with a
systolic pressure of 120 should have a
diastolic pressure of 120 should have
diastolic pressure Of 80 and pulse
pressure of 40.
When this relationship is upset
trouble is on the horizon and immed-
late steps must be taken to forestall
it. Thus a high diastolic pressure
puts the heart in trouble, because it
gives the heart more work to over
come the resistance tension in the
arteries. A diastolic pressure of 100
is dangerous, a pressure of $50 shows
q serious disorder of the heart anC
impairment Of the vessels, and sys.
tolic pressure of 200 indicates failure
of kidney function.
Causes of High Blood Pressure
The causes of apprehension are
numerous and various. In genera
terms whatever increases the force Of
the hearts action and reduces thu
elasticity of the vessels leads to higl
blood pressure and so-called causes O.
