Medical Association and OF Hygeia,

There seems to be no doubt that
high blood pressure is frequently a
prominent sign in members of the
same family.
In families in which there is q
strong element Of this kind, DR.
James p. O'Hare says that parents
should guide their children towards
the less strenuous walks of life and
advise them against excessive mental
and physical exercise, excessive ambi-
ton and obesity. This disease, like
others that seem to have an heredi-
tary basis, might be eliminated il
marriages were arranged according
to physical conditions and not fol
emotional reasons.

disturb him. but merely to suggest
that he slow down the pace Of his
existence. It is well recognized that
all Of Us today are living at q much
faster rate than formerly. The level
OF the blood pressure at any time
is the result Of the condition OF the
heart. the thickness of the blood

teries and the degree to which the
veins may be. dilated or CONSTRUCTED
The modification Of any one of thes Sc
factors will, of course, influence the
blood pressure. Physicians arrange
to modify them BY modifying the
routine Of the patients life so as ia
bring about q general change in the
systematic conditions.

DR.. O'Hare suggests that such peo-
pie adopt an easier attitude towards
life. Such people should take
frequent vacationss daily periods OF
relaxation with rest after each meal
and preferably nap Of one-half to
one hour after lunch. Moderate ex-
e-cise may be tried, the best form
being short walks. hut never taken ia

should be regulated 50 a. to keep the
system free of al poisonous sub

The diet Of the person. with high

The purpose Of such diet is 4

clothes to the ones who need
them," said Mary Ann. She did
that, and the Sunday school
teacher said that she would ask
the women in charge OF the
Settlement Home in the poor
neighborhood to tell her what
to do.
And the next day the woman
in charge of the Settlement
Home sent somebody in a car to
get the clothes and asked the
three little girls to come along
and see the clothes distributed.
The children went. and when
they returned their faces were
alight with the glow Of that good
deed.
The gifts. Of course, proved a
blessing to the poor, but the
greatest blessing came to the
children who gave their efforts
to providing comfort for those
unfortunates.
Christmas is a good time to en-
courage children in acts of ;sene-
rosity. Most o fthem are influ-
enced by some organization to
procure contributions for the
poor at Christmas. time; but beg
ging money from parents is one
thing. and giving of their own
thought and efforts is another.
1t is the latter manner of Civ
ing that develops the real spirit
of Christmas in the child. And
while it is fostering his bigness
of soul it is also developing his
executive ability.
