Won Support OF the LoWly

However. Mrs. Pratt Is not snob-
bish and would not claim her wealth
and social position as a reason for
nomination to any office. She glories
in the fact that much OF her most
loyal support comes from a class
not even as high as a middle.
Mrs. Pratt has achieved her popu-
larity because she is a sincere cap
able worker, who has tried hard to
bring about better conditions in the
administration of our greatest city.
She was born In New England in
the town of Ware, Mass, which also
was the native heath of Mrs. Bertha
Lands, who was elected mayor OF
Seattle. Mrs. Pratt graduated from
Wellesley College.
Her much mentioned wealth
brought her leisure in spite of what
is today considered a large family
two sons and three daughters. A
characteristic which calls for praise
has been her desire to use this
leisure in efforts TO bring about bet
ter conditions in her own city gov
eminent and thus, help her neigh
bors in a wide and practical way.
For eighteen months she served
as vice president of the Republican
District organization in her own dis
trict, where she was so urgent for
the participation of women in politi-
cal matters that when she was asked
to become candidate for the posi-
ton of Alderman she could not con-
sistently refuse.
On the Warpath Against Tammany
"A woman who takes up politics
seriously must play the game. If
she undertakes to be of service to
the cause of good governms mt she
must realize that she has assumed
certain obligations. Among them is
the holding of office" she said.
She was elected by majority
ahead of her ticket. Pushcart ped.
oilers and working men worked fos

men not only as the first and only
woman but as one of three Repub-
licans among sixty-three Democrats.
She has scored men in public CO
flee as being ''v,ry bad housekeep
ers." and pleaded for reduction of
what she considers an extremely ex-
travagant New York City budget.
She is out on the warpath against
Tammany.

Health Hints
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor Journal OF the American
Medical Association aud Of Hy.


geia, the Health Magazine
Just before fifty years OF age the
blood pressure OF man increases and
tends to maintain q constant level.
There is a slight increase In pulse
and sometimes dizziness with in
creased physical work.
Because of the changes taking
place in the human body, the
blood pressure does not accom-
modate itself SO readily to in
creased demands on the system.
Investigators in the department
Of internal medicine in Budapest
have made studies of mans blood
pressure in the presenile period.
Pressure was measured in the
early morning before breakfast
and after the person tested had
walked up two flights Of stairs
slowly.
Mental Stress
Since it is known that mental
excitement often produces eleva-
ton of the blood pressure. tests
were also made of the effects Of
mntal excitement. the patient be-
ing told that he was going to re-
ceive an injection with needle.
and his reaction to this process
was determined.
The blood pressure of persons
from As to IS years of age varied
ordinarily between ITO and 40
millimeters of mercury as mea-
sured on the scale Of the apparatus
that physicians usually use for
this purpose.
When the person tested climbs
the stairs. the blood pressure be-
comes elevated. In older persons
the duration of the elevation w
much longer than in younger per-
sons. The increase of the blood
pressure in older persons follow
ing the climbing Of stairs is from
80 to so millimeters and lasts
sometimes more than five minutes.
In the same way, mental ex-
element causes elevation from IS
to 40 milllmeters of the blood
pressure in older people and the
elevation lasts longer than in
younger persons.
Changing Habits
| This evidence is of the greatest
importance in indicating to people
beyond As years Of age their
habits of life. Since such increases
in the blood pressure are not to
the best interests Of the health Of
the person concerned, older people
are not to undertake such severe
efforts or carry them on for such
long periods as do younger per-
sons.
They are to understand also
that mental excitement brings in
creased blood pressure. When the
blood pressure IL abnormal, such
an increase may result in apo
plexy. A calm mind IL Of the ut :
most importance under such CIR
cumstances.

Jimmy Skunk had found an OPEN
ing under the old barn on the farm
next to Farmer Browns and he had
gone under there to explore. Outside
he had left a foolish young dog =
u very sick feeling young dog-to
whom he had just given a lesson.
You see, that young dog had never
met Jimmy Skunk before and he
had foolshly attacked Jimmy.
u guess he'll know better next
time" thought Jimmy. as he listened
to the whines and whimpers Of the
dog outside. There is nothing like
experience as a teacher"
Now the owner of that dog up at
the farmhouse had heard the excited
barking of the dog when he had
first discovered Jimmy skunk. He
had gone outside the house to lis
ten. Presently the Merry Little
Breezes brought to him Jimmy
skunk's unpleasant perfume. That
dogs got Skunk down there." he
exclaimed, and started down to-
ward the barn. When he got down
there he saw right away what had
happened to the young dog. The
dog was whining and whimpering
and started to come toward him.
But, OF course, that dog had that
perfume all in his coat, and his mas
ter backed away hurriedly. "Phew..'
he cried. Get away from me! Didn't
you know any better than to tackle
Skunk? Well, as long as you'> e
done 1t you might as well finish the
job. He's probably under that barn.
Go in there and fetch him out.'
But that dog had learned his les
son. He wanted TO obey his master,
but he had no desire for another
dose of that awful smelling scent
that had choked him and that made
his eyes still smart. He looked up
at his master and there was such d
pathetic look in his face. His mas
ter pointed to the opening under
the barn. sic him. he cried. Sic
him! Fetch him out.'
But he refused to go under tho
barn. He wagged his tail as hard as
he could. but he backed away in
stead of going toward the barn. His
MISTER coaxed. but coaxing did no
good. In the midst of it Jimmy
Skunk poked his head out to see
what was going on. At sight of him
that dog put his tail between his
legs and ran away. At safe dis
lance he turned. with his tail still
between his legs. and looked back
His master whistled and called, but
the dog wouldn't come. Jimmy
walked right out He wallle4
straight toward the dogs master
and the latter hacked away in g
hurry. Il ought to have brought m,
gun" said he III go back to the
house and get it."
So he turned and hurried back Il
the house. Jimmy Skunk grinned as
he watched him go. He took fe"
steps toward that dog. The dos
turned and ran. Jimmy grnneC
once more. Il guess he has Learned
his lesson" said he. Il don't believe
that dog will ever bother a SkunS
