is Oh the left side of the brain the
right side Ct the bod. will be para
lyzed.
There are a number of reasons for
the occurrence Of a cerebral hem
orThage. The immediate cause, of
course, is the cracking of one OF the
arteries if the brain. Summed up,
tie factors leading to such an acct
dent al do one thing-produee a
hardening of the walls Of the arteries
with an increase Of the pressure of the
blood within them. The leading IN
DERIVING factors are excesses of any
kind-over eating. over drinking,
over work. and 50 on. The direct
cause in the presence Of an existing
high pressure is anything that causes
a sudden raise in this pressure to the
breaking point.
Under normal conditions various
factors cause an elevation of the blood
pressure, 10 to 80 points. For ex-
ample, after heavy meal, following
violent exercise, during mental stress,
and so on, the pressure is raised con-
siderably. But If the basic pressure
IS not above normal, and the arterial
walls are sufficiently elastic to allow
Of ready expansion Of the artery,
nothing will happen. If, however, an
individual already has a pressure of,
/ let US say, 100, his arteries are hard
and unyielding, and the tension is
suddenly raised 80 points, something
must break.
When a cerebral hemorrhage takes
place the blood pours from the vessel
and clots, bringing pressure on the
nerve centers. If the resultant clot
is small its paralyzing effects will be
less widespread than if it is larger.
Thus there may be paralysis of only
the right arm and leg. And as the
clot is absorbed, with removal of the
pressure the nerve centers gradually
+ resume their function, depending upon
the degree Of damage done.
Inasmuch as the centers for the arm
are situated in the lower part of the
motor area, this part of the clot is
absorbed last. Hence there will be
greater damage here with less COM
plete recovery of the use of the arm
than the leg. If the hemorrhage is
so extensive that the blood finds its
way into the lower portions Of the

JOSEPH M. DIXON
SEEKS TO RETURN
TO u. S. SENATE

An organization has Just been
formed at Helena Tor the purpose of
returning Joseph NJ. Dixon. former
governor and United States senator.
to the United States senate. After
the republican state convention 100
delegates and other persons from all
parts OF the state and representatives
of all kinds of Montana industry. in
formally organized the club. The
headquarters will be at Helena and
will be in charge of o. A. Bergeson.
the secretary of the club. DR.. E. NJ.
Larson of Great Falls was elected
president, and an executive committee
was selected.
The purpose of the club is set forth
IN statement given in the interview
by the officers of the club:
Governor Dixon is the strongest
man In the state to lead the republican
campaign. By training and experience
IN the United States senate and by
the successful enactment of his con-
structive program while governor of
this state, he is favorably known to
everyone and it is believed that he is
the one republican in Montana with
the ability to lead the strenuous cam
Ipaign that must follow the primary.
For years Montana has had no re-
publican senator in Washington. In
consequence Montana has largely lost
its old-time leadership and recognition
IN any constructive program for
northwestern development. We do
not need an international senator. We
do need a Montana senator to look
after the needs of young. vigorous
and rapidly developing state
I'VE have many problems in this
state that need the aid of senatorial
action and Dixon, could and would be
able to devote his time AMI ENERGY to
the welfare of Montana and the adj
vancement of the citizenship. He can
continue the work in the senate he so
ably began and will not need to servs
IN apprenticeship before his worth j
eec9gnizsd. Montana can come back
IN power in the senate and by the
active cooperation of the voters of
this state, Joe Dixon can be elected.
