Looking for Easy Money
Duluth Heraldl

The spectacle of more than two
thousand persons engaged in a sordid
scramble to prove remote relation
ship to a rich woman none of them
knew and few of them ever heard of
until she died, in order to get some
of the money she left, is depressing
picture of greed in action.
About year ago a Miss Ella Wen
del, the last member of an eccentric
New York family, died and left
hundred million dollars. More than
a hundred years ago John Gottlieb
Wendell bought and held all the New
York city real estate he could get.
His business maxim, buy but never
SELL" was passed on to his family
and when he died his son John took
over the management of large
estate. Fearing that the property
would get out of the family's hands
he forbade his six sisters to marry,
and one after the other all died in
the old home on Fifth avenue built
seventy years ago. All lived mean,
secluded lives without modern con-
veniences. but their real estate hold
ings continued to grow until now the
estate includes some of the city's
most valuable properties.
But Ella Wendell was the last of the
family and, having no near relatives,
left all her wealth to charitable, re-
|ligious and educational institutions in
New York, the city whose growth
made the fortune possible. Then
came the second, third and even sew
|enth cousins from all over the United
States and parts Of Europe to get
some Of the money. When the will
was brought into court for probate a
few days ago the two thousand
claimants were represented by two
hundred and fifty lawyers who OBJ
jected to the will and started an ef-
fort to break 1t.
Perhaps they will If they can find
some archaic law that permits it, but
it Is to be hoped not. The people OF
New York, who by their numbers and
industry made the Wendell property
valuable, have an equity that should
transcend the selfish claims of re-
mote relations whose only connec-
ton with IT Is to want it.

This is the third and let us hope
the last act Of q little drama about
high blood pressure. I promised to
give simple, harmless and fairly
helpful remedy for 1t, to faithful fol-
lowers who stick it through to the
end Of the show. In case you happen
to have any blood pressure on your
mind and have just happened in, you
should look up the two acts we have
already overflow breathing and
High Blood Pressure" and Exercise
and High Blood Pressure" but I am
unable to say at this writing Just
what the dates Of publication may
be.
In Act one, we enunciated a physi-
illogical principle, namely, that in
most cases Of high blood pressure or
apprehension" as doctors love to call
1t, we find on careful observation that
the patients have a low breathing
habit, that is. they breathe more slow
ly than normal persons do and their
breathing is more shallow than that
OF normal persons. We are speaking
only of uncomplicated apprehension
high blood pressure without associ-
ated organic disease. Where the
medical examination ELECTS signs of
say, enlargement Chypertrophy, of
the heart, or chronic nephritis
(Brght's disease) or arteriosclerosis
Hardening of the arteries) the pa
tent had better forget all about high
blood pressure and follow his doc
tors advice just as if high blood pres
sure had never been invented. But
when there is no evidence of under
lying organic disease, then the poor
glnk with the h. b. p. may well digest
what we enunciated in the first act
and then give his undivided attention
to act two, in which we explain how
Exercise always tends to lower high
blood pressure, just as walking tends
to relieve the distension of varicose
veins in the legs although prolonged
standing or sitting. particularly in
slouched or slumped position, aggra-
Yates such trouble. You see, exercise
serves to pump blood from the sys-
itemic circulation into the great veins
near the heart.
Well, we're getting along now. From
now on you will get little practical
help out Of this If you have not
conned the two preceding talks. We
are about to take a daring step for
ward-in short urge the victim Of high
blood pressure to use his diaphragm.
I know this isn't done in the best
regulated households, but just the
same, I can almost promise you that
by means Of only few minutes use
of almost any old diaphragm every
day the blood pressure may be brought
down an average of 80 per cent Of the
excess and kept down indefinitely.
Here we must beg the indulgence of
the editors for a paragraph which will
certainly sound weird If not comical if
we can't say belly when we mean belly.
The belly is the anterior abdominal
wall. Practically, the diaphragm is
one masole, the belly is another. When
the diaphragm contracts it presses
down upon the liver, stomach, spleen
and other appurtenances of the abdo-
men and causes the belly to bulge;
when the diaphragm relaxes this pres
sure is released and the belly again
retracts or falls.
Naturally breathing is mainly dia-
