You can lower your blood pres
sure by reducing your weight. In
a medical survey of 1000 cases Of
overweight, in every case over 20
years of age the blood pressure
was above normal, and in every
instance weight loss was followed
by reduction in blood pressure.
In 200 of these cases the aver
age pressure dropped from 155 to
1873 on the loss of only 10 pounds
Of excess weight. In all but the
age group of 20 to 80, the drop
in blood pressure was IA or more
points with this weight loss.
Twenty-three of the cases
treated had blood pressure over
200, and through a loss of 10
pounds or more an average drop
Of 43 points was effected. In only
small percentage Of the cases
was the blood pressure unaffected.
DR.. William E. Preble, Of Bos-
ton, who conducted these expert
mentS, concluded that persons of
80 years and upward, who are IS
or more pounds overweight, have
rapid decrease in life expectancy
with an increase in years and
weight.
If your doctor has warned you
that your blood pressure is high
and that you must bring YOUR
weight down, don't stall around
about it. Except with kidney
complications, the dietary for
overweight and high blood press
ure is a normal reducing diet.
To be safe, the diet must be
adequate in protein, minerals and
vitamins. Otherwise, weakness
enSues. Seventy-five to 100 grains
Of protein daily is not excessive
except in cases of nephritiS.
This amount of protein is easily
furnished in one-half pound of
lean meat, one to two eggs, one
or two glasses of SKINNED milk
or butter and three slices of
bread.
To assure an adequate amount
Of vitamins and minerals, the re-
ducing diet must include daily
two or more cooked vegetables,
raw vegetables and two fresh
fruits.
The calorie total of this basic
menu approXimates LOO calories.
Since the averge man can reduce
on $500 to 1900 calories, this
leaves a balance of several hun
dred calories for butter, sugars
and starches.
No one could complain of not
getting enough to eat on this diet.
OF course, if you have habitually
oVereaten, the menu may appear
meager. If your are overweight,
however, it is sufficient for your
needs.

the beginning of the symphonic

called upon to give it's fullest dy'

In the communication to Gov.
Graves, the bar leader asserted:
"As Governor of the State of
Alabama you took an oath to up
hold the Constitution of the United
States. It provided that, mo state
shall deprive any person Of life or
liberty without due process Of law
nor shall it deny him the equal
protection of law" The shocking
Incident that occurred at Decatur,
Alabama when one prisoner, hand
cuffed to two others was shot
down by an officer of the State be-
cause of an alleged attack upon
him, would suggest that the pro-
lection guaranteed to the citizens
of Alabama by our Constitution
does not extend to colored citizens

the commission Of criminal Of

"As president Of the National
Bar Association, am requesting
you to make an investigation of
this brutal assault and see that the
perpetrator is properly punished so
as to bring to the law enforcing Of
ficers sense of their responsible

lead Negroes in Alabama to the
conclusion that they can only look
to themselves for protection and
thereby lay the foundation for re-
volution."
