" producing in people with angina
pectoris sudden attack Of pain.
In those who have the disease, any
diminution in the amount of oxygen
going to the heart muscle produces
tho painful attack. Any extraordin-
ary effort or breathing for a long
time in q small closed room may
bring on an attack.
The heart, as has been said re-
peatedly in these columns, is the one
organ in the body which begins to
function fully before the birth Of the
child and proceeds without cessation
Of its activities until the time Of
death. It is known that excessive
physical activity causes the heart to
beat fast and with great intensity,
whereas rest in bed lowers the rate
Of the heart, and so far as is human
ly possible actually rests the heart
muscle. For this reason the prime
prescription in most cases Of heart
disease of any type Is rest. The un-
derstanding of the mechanism of pro-
duction Of pain in the heart in re-
lationship to the amount of work
done Is a further indication OF the
necessity for providing a proper
amount Of rest for this important Or

I was told recently that there are

MICHAELIS' RESIGNATION
On Oct. "a, 1917, DR.. Georg Mich
aelis. chancellor Of Germany, resigned
and hts resignation was accepted.
DR.. Michaelis, who had been chan
cellor since July IA, 1917, resigned
because of his lack Of sympathy with
the majority groups of the Reichstag
and his suspected attitude Of opposi-
ton to broadened Parliamentary
powers.
1t was charged that he was not
candid in his declarations regarding
the Reichstag peace proposals, and
showed a partially to the extreme
Pan-German annexationists.
He was succeeded by Georg F. Won
Hertling. who had been occupying
the position of prime minister Of Ba-
varia. DR.. Michaelis Temporarily re-
tanned the office Of prime minister
of Prussia.

British aviators on the Burbach

Government and Business

government ana BUSINESS
One OF the inevitable results Of
hard times is renewed demands for
further extension of the activities of
the federal government.
Unemployment insurance, govern
ment subsidy of this business or gov
ernment ownership of that, gigantic
"relief" bond issues-hardly a day
passes without new, suggested pau
acea.
The federal government might do
more to bring back prosperity, so far
as that is within the power of any
one nation, by restricting it's activi-
ties.
There Is only one cure for unem-
ployment - industrial development
that will put men to work. There is
only one cure for depression-a new
influx of active capital into business.
High taxes and governmental inter-
ference are barrier in the way Of
both these cures. No individual
would, for example, build new home
If he believed it would soon be taxed
beyond his ability to pay. And no
group of investors would build a new
factory if there was danger of taxa
ton growing so great as to make
profits impossible.
Government should do everything
1t can to encourage industry. invest
ments, employment. But it certainly
should go slow in spending hundreds
Of millions of dollars of the taxpay-
ers' money for transient and dubious
"re1ief" schemes.

The Naval Budget Cut

Every patriotic American natural
ly, wants to see the American navy
kept at the highest possible point of
efficiency. And when naval author
tiles protest that the proposed reduc-
tions in the naval budget will seri-
ously hamper them in the effort to
maintain the fleets efficiency they
are entitled to a hearing.
Nevertheless, President Hoover's
insistence that the department slash
$61 100000 from its planned expendi-
lures for the coming year will prob
ably win the support OF the majority
Of his fellow citizens. His remark
that even meritorious projects "can,
must and will be deferred" is sound
good sense.
The present times are abnormal,
and the federal government must re-
trench. The Navy Department will
have to take its cut along with the
others.

The blood supply Of the human
heart comes from blood vessels called
the coronary arteries. When q hui
man being feels sudden pain In the
heart it is probably due to one OF
two causes-stretching Of the wall
Of the diseased vessels or a lack Of
circulation of the blood to the heart
muscles supplied by the coronary ar
teries.
In the majority Of cases Of angina
pectoris that are studied by means
Of postmortem examination, it is
found that definite changes have
taken place in the coronary blood
vessels. The giving of certain drugs
which contract the blood vessels US
ually produces q sudden severe pain
in the heart in people whose coro-
nary blood vessels are disordered.
Indeed, anything that greatly reduces
the amount of blood supply going to
the heart muscle seems to bring on
the pain in the heart that Is called
angina.
For instance, the giving Of insulin

Advice to Borrow
(NeW York Times>

NNCW 4OIk 11meS)
The American Federation of Labor
showed sound Judgment when it re-
fused to endorse the proposal for a !!
prosperity loan" Of some enormous
sum as $4,000, ,000, 900 or $40 900, 900 900.
The convention urged the Government
to extend its efforts to relieve unem-
ployment, but turned its back on the
prophets who preach that the way to
restore good times is to borrow lavish
~. It is fallacious doctrine. with
even less to commend it now than
when it was first proposed some
months ago.
Earlier in the year 1t was at least
possible for advocates of this plan to
argue that money was cheap and that
the Government could float q large
loan at small cost to the taxpayer.
Since then credit conditions have
changed considerably. When the
Treasury issued $50,OOO,OO0 in ninety
day bills last week it was compelled
to pay an average interest rate Of 2ss
per cent, compared with less than one
half of / per cent last Spring. The
narrow margin by which the last Of
AOA " VOVVtVVV,VOU Ill \1OVCIIlUlCIlt
bonds was oversubscribed at the end
of August likewise served notice that
money does not grow on every bush
along the road. Vast operations in
refunding face the Treasury In the
near future. On Dec. Is. $685., ,0O0, 900
in certificates and notes must be re-
tired. In March certificates amount
ing to $623, 100000 mature, and in
June the first Liberty Loan of 81 $685.
100000 becomes callable. It is already
clear that the Government will be
forced to pay higher interest rates
than in recent months.
Meantime, a candid appraisal of the
present situation must reckon with the
fact that gold is being taken out of
circulation by tirlid hoarders; that
several of the Governments bond is
sues. now selling below par. would be
further depressed by extensive bor-
rowing; and that the Treasury's posi-
tion has been weakened by deficit
which may amount to $500, ,O00. 900,
unless taxes are increased, following
a deficit Of 5000, 100000 for the fiscal
year which closed in June. In these
circumstances it would be difficult to
conceive Of any proposal more likely
to retard prosperity than the proposal
to load upon the Government new OBJ
legations.

Thursday. They wanted to be trans

The uprising was short-lived. The
