Rest Diet for Heart Disease Patients

Az has been previously mentioned.
one of the chief tonics Is the ability
of the patient to sleep. Physicians
are familiar with hundreds OF prep
arations which will help IN securing
sleep. and it is customary to attempt
to secure a proper result with weaker
remedies rather than with strong
ones.
OF particular Importance is the con-
troll Of the patients mind by psyche
therapy, or the power Of suggestion.
The physician may, by talking to his
patient, quiet him, make him realize
the Importance of rest, cause him to
understand his condition, and relieve
him of irritability. Not infrequently.
patients are so worried over their
physical condition once the diagnosis
is made that it may be necessary to
give them a word Of encouragement
to allay their fears.
After the patient has been In bed
for at least four weeks or as long as
has been necessary, he begins very
gradually to extend his activities.
Sir Clifford Adult, m OF the most
famous of physicians, said, THE pa
tient must crawl before he can walk"
Hence it is advised that when the
patient gets better the first thing he
does is to sit up in bed. After a
while he is permitted to sit in a
chair for brief periods. which are
gradually heightened. Eventually he
is permitted to walk from one room
to another, then to take a motor ride
for half an hour or an hour without
getting out of the car; finally, to take
longer walks and rides and perhaps,
after he has fully established his
competence, to play a little golf on a
flat course.

No, Prisons Are Not Pleasure
Resorts
(MinneapOliS Journal

w u
The WickerSham commission has
been looking over American prisons
and jails, and does not like them.
Neither does any one else. particular
ly the fellow whose misdeeds have
placed him inside the walls of such
a place. But if prisons and jails were
made the extremely pleasure places
that some present day pathological
reformers would like to have them
made, then imprisonment would larg-
ely lose its force as a crime deterrent.
Say what you will of the failure of
the penal system to prevent crime
waves, the fact remains that hun
dreds Of thousands are resisting the
temptation to commit crime, chiefly
because they fear imprisonment.
With some of the commissions
recommendations, we are in complete
accord; for example, the proposals
for better hygiene and sanitation, for
separation of prisoners into problem
groups, for removal Of the mentally
and physically ailing into proper in
stitutionS, for better prison officials,
for better educational facilities, and
for the payment of some slight COM
pensation, in Spendable cash, to
prisoners that do their work effici-
emily and ~peaceably.
But with some Of the commissions
other recommendations that would
carry still farther the soft-handed pol
icies that have failed so signally IN
the last 30 years, we cannot agree.
The commission deploreS the re-
suits of prison idleneSS, yet 1t favors
those very restrictions on prison labor
that necessarily make for prison idle
ness. The commission would subSti-
tute cottages and dormitories for cell
blocks, in the face of recent prison
history, with its sad record of tragic
mutinies palpably Matched by men
who took advantage of that freedom
of intercourse which cottages and
dormitorieS would permit.
The commission apparently would
forbid all forms of harsh prison dis
cipline, ignoring the fact that a great
many men who find their way into
penitentiaries are amendable to no
other sort of discipline.
The commission commends Mime
sofas parole system. We, too, COM
mend the underlying theory, but not
the parole practices that have all too
frequently turned loose upon society
irreformable ~desperadoes who should
have been kept behind bars in
definitely.
After all, no matter how intolerable
life in prison may be, undergoing its
horrors is not compulsory. Keeping
out of the penitentiary eis far easier
than getting into the ~penitentiary.
AL one has to do to escape imprison-
ment's undeniable discomfortS Is to
refrain from committing crime. The
great majority do not find the obliga-
ton to refrain from crime an espe-
cially onerous one. The small minor
ity is not going to be kept from crime
by the news that cozy cottages have
been substituted for the dark hole;
that a daily two hour period Of en-
broidering tea cloths has been SUBJ
stituted for the 10 hours in the Irvine
mill.

EDITORS NOTE-This Is the
last of a series of five articles by
DR.. Morris Fishbein on THE Fall
ing Heart of Middle Life"
X X X
BY DIR. MORRIS F1SHBEIN
Editor, Journal Of the American
Medical Association
The diet of the patient with heart
disease should usually contain fresh
fruits and vegetables and fairly small
quantities of fluids, but all OF the
meals should be small, and especially
the evening meal. 1t is customary to
forbid pastries, fried foods, not
breads and similar food substances.
DR.. David Riesman, in his discussion
of the subject, points out that his
patients are limited to not more than
1900 &C. of fluid a day, which is l 10
quarts. This represents such liquids
as water, milk, broth, soups, orange
juice, tomato Juice and similar drinks.
In cases where there is a particularly
distressing form of accumulation OF
gas, patients are put on a milk diet, or
buttermilk, for a few days, and then
after they begin to improve they are
given, dry or cooked cereals with
rather than with salt, chicken,
chops, oysters, cooked green vege-
tables, stewed fruit, especially apple
sauce, orange juice and melba toast.
DR.. Riesman makes the very in.
teresting suggestion that patients
who complain of bad taste in the
or who have a dry tongue be
given chewing gum. Most physicians
the chewing gum habit in
health, but find it exceedingly help
for a patient with dry mouth or
with a bad taste in sickness.

A Tough Row to Hoe

Prohibition Director Woodcock's
promise that the government will de-
mand a vigorous prosecution Of the
Indiana bo%otlegger who shot and
killed two federal dry agents will
meet with sympathetic agreement in
all parts of the country.
The complaints that have been
made In times past about promiscu-
Gus shooting on the part of irrespon-
sible dry agents have made many of
us forget the fact that the dry agent
also runs into irresponsible gun users
occasionally.
The honest dry agent does not
have a very easy time of it. He has
to deal with the most dangerous
group of criminals in the country.
When he makes a mistake it is
across the land from ocean
to ocean. When he runs into a crook
who happens to be quick on the trig-
ger his own life is a forfeit.

Toll Bridges VS.. Free Bridges

1Ou DTlOgeS vs.. TTCe bFlUSeS
The famous bridge war" between
Oklahoma and Texas originated out
of trouble that followed construction
by the two states OF a free bridge
beside a privately owned toll bridge,
The incident serves to bring up for
renewed consideration the subject of
toll bridges in general.
In certain places toll bridges have
been public conveniences. The fees
paid by the users have led private
capital to put up bridges where state
or city. governments could not afford
to; and a bridge that you have to
pay to cross is at least better than
no bridge at all.
AS a general thing however, the
toll bridge is simply a nuisance.
A few years ago suggestion was
made for a toll bridge over the Mis-
souri, river above Bismarck.
The late A. G.. Sorlie, then gov
ernor, condemned the idea and a
plan to apply to the legislature for
a franchise failed. 1t was no secret
that the people OF North Dakota
want their bridges free.

Falling for HumbugS

One thing that does not always
get the attention it deserves is the
average mans unquenchable desire
to believe in something that he
knows to be impossible.
A short time ago-right in the
middle of a spell OF extremely hot
weather, as it happened-people who
live along the shore Of Lake Erie
near Sandusky, O., got all excited
about a sea serpent which was sup
posed to be cavorting about in the
neighborhood.
First one man reported seeing it,
then another. From all accounts it
was a veritable monster-long, scaly,
horrendous, doing everything that
traditional sea serpents do except
breathe out fire and birthstone.
For about a week these tales kept
bobbing up. People laughed, of
c~ourse-but they enjoyed them, just
the same. For no matter how SEN
sible We try to be, we always get a
secret kick out of letting a part of
our minds believe in something we
know isn't so.
Then. finally came the climax.
Two men went out in a boat-and
came back with a veritable serpent.
an l8-foot python, alive and anthem
tic. They had captured it in the
water, they said, stunning 1t with
their Jars before hauling it aboard.
Here was proof enough to satisfy
anyone. Unfortunately, the climax
was followed by an anti-climax. The
men turned out to be carnival men,
the snake turned out to be a side
show snake and the whole business
turned out to be a hoax. The two
men and the snake vanished, and
northern Ohio resumed its usual
calm.
But 1t was fun while 1t lasted. 1t
was fun, first of all, to pretend that
innocent Lake Erie really harbored a
sea serpent. Then 1t was fun to
pretend that an 18-foot python
could somehow find its way from In
dia to make a home in a North
American lake. Everybody knew, all
along, that it wasn't really true
but that didn't matter.
Why is it WI get such a kick out
of persuading ourselves to accept
facts which We know to be false?

Motoring, Then and Now

A one-cylinder automobile built
more than 26 years ago is engaged
right now in crossing the continent
under its own power. It Is retracing
a route 1t covered in 1905 when i.
went from New York to Portland,
Ore, in the record breaking time of
A days, and the man who is driv-
ing it, Dwight B. Huss, is the same
man who drove it on it's earlier trip.
Huss ought to have a good deal Of
fun out of his trip, especially if he
has a contemplative streak in him.
The contrast between this trip and
the one Of 1905 Is striking. Auto and
driver are the same, but everything
else connected with the affair is as
different as If two centuries had
elapsed instead Of a mere Is years.
When that first trip was made Huss
had to take his roads as he found
them, and most Of them were pretty
bad. For hundreds Of miles, in fact,
they were little better than wheel
tracks. Filling stations and garages
were almost non-existent. Except
when he va in the cities he saw no
pavement.
To be a cr~oss-country motorist in
those days n had to be adventure
some, ~resourceful and q first-rate
mechanic.
And today? Macadam and concrete
from coast to coast; garages, service
stations. camping grounds and lunch
rooms every few miles, all the way
from New York to Portland; plenty
Of company all the way and nothing
to make the trip an unusual event
except the extreme age Of Huss' auto.
Yet that contrast hardly 80 much
