SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. Louis E. BiSch-

by DR.. Louis E. BlSch-
THERE are many varieties of
Il heart disease, some OF which
are organic ana serious, others
again hich are purely functional
and do not endsnger life.
Among organic disorders are
those affecting the heart muscle
itself, the valves of the heart, or
the lining of the heart.
The functional affections Of the
heart have to do with irregulari-
ties of beat, palpitation, rapid
heart, and slow heart.
Congenital disorders of the heart
also exist. These may or may
not be of a serious nature.
In other words, heart conditions
comprise a wide variety. Doubt
as to the health and strength OF
the heart should always be in
vestigsted.
1t should be emphasized, how
ever, that heart disease. even il IT
he caused by cham in the struc-
ture Of the heart itself, need not
necessarily incapacitate a person
nor shorten his life, provided he
takes urt ser care of himself.
No general rule can be laid
down. nf course, inasmuch as
each condition requires special
treatment.
Generally speaking, however,
people become unduly alarmed
when they are told they have
heart trouble. The heart fright
ems people more quickly than any
thing else. But this should not
be.
The individual with chronic
heart affection is more likely to
die Of some other maiGdy which
he does not know exists, or %hich
suddenly over helms him in its
acute stages, than he is of the
heart disorder provided he follows
the orders of his medical ad'
wiser.
Organic heart tisease Is. un.
fortunately, very prevalent all
ment.
Carelessness in living, indiscre-
tions of diet, overindulgenceS in
pleasures, the terrific strain in
trying to keep up with the mad
rush of competition, any of these
may put the human pump more
or less out of commission.
Certain severe infections, such
as rheumatic fever, are very dis
astrous to the heart.
The big problem in pneumonia
in the aged is the heart.
Valve trouble is not considered
as serious as it used to be.
IH the valves do not close COM
pletely and tightly. blood keeps
rushing through and this causes
q rushing sound when the ear or
the Stethoscope Is placed on the
chest. People speak Of this as a
''Ieaky heart -
The important thing, however,
is not so much whether the valves
leak as it Ia whether or not the
blood is pumped around the body
properly without being damned
up. If 1T is backed up in the tis-
sues, as it were, swelling of the
ankles, legs, or congestion Of other
organs may occur.
In mild cases Of valve disorder
the heart "compsnsates," as doc
tors say. That is, the heart muscle
eIllarges so as to contract more
forcibIy. In the -end it forces the
blood through as effectively as 1t
did before the valves leaked.
Most organic heart conditions

The following statement was is

Under pressure OF present demanS,

impossible to make the required de-

night force for a two-shift day and

This plant recently installed sew

several more on order. but, not
withstanding this increased capacity,
its business has grown to such pro-
portions that the two shifts are
necessary. This naturally implies
more work for New England me-

The division affected by the new

q prices to the highest levels h
history.


Washington, Feb. Z ~ - Despite
the announcement OF the federal re-
serve board that use Of federal re-
serve credit for speculation must be
restrained, it was said by treasury
officials today that there was little
tho board itself could do to actually
curb speculation.
1t was declared that the loans by
federal reserve banks for speculation
were negligible and that most Of
such loans came from individuals
and corporations. Loans to brokers
and dealers by New York federal re-
serve member banks last week total
ed $1,000, 100000 while out Of town
banks had $l.s5s.o0O.000 placed in
such loans. The banks had loaned
for account of others q total of ST.
100000. 1t was said that the
loans by banks to brokers and deal
ers was chiefly for purposes other
than speculation.
The increase in the rate of the
Bank of England from ~ per cent
to So per cent was regarded by
treasury officials as only naturaI 10
protect the position OF the bank. 1t
was pointed out that with gold be-
ing attracted to the New York mar
ket through high money rates 1t was
essential that the Bank of England
take some action. Purchases in Lon
don this week for the account Of
American banks reduced the gold
supply of the Bank OF England to
slightly lower than l50.000.000
pounds, which is regarded as the
minimum requirement. Governor
Montagu Norman. OF the Bank of
England. has been in this country
for two weeks comforting with Off
