Avoid Over-Exertion, Sudden Strains In Cases Of High Blood Pressure
T. M. Reg. U. S. Pat. or

, The average blood pressure O children increases with age, but thu pressure in girls tends to decreas' after the 18th year. The averag, blood pressure of girls appears to b' higher than that of boys for tht ages from 10 to 13 years. After the 18th year the blood pressure of boy. exceeds that of girls, the difference increasing with age.
 Children who mature early are more likely to reach normal adult blood pressure soon because of their increased weight, increased girth oi the chest, and greater lung capa- city.
 Usually when a preson who has been lying down stand up, his pulse rate becomes more rapid and his blood pressure rises little. Appar- ently it makes no difference if the person gets up on his own account or is helped by someone else.
 If the blood pressure does not rise in the change from a lying to 9 standing position, there may be a lack of proper tonus in the blood vessels. Proper tonus means that the dilation and contraction of the blood vessels is under the satiSfac- tory control of the nervous system A steady fall in the blood pres- sure may result in the appearance of symptoms of shock, including fainting or unconSciouness. Some drugs will produce a sudden dila- tion of the blood vessels and with that fall of the blood pressure.
 It is believed that alcoholic drinks taken in moderation, do not influ- ence the blood pressure. However the taking of a considerable amount of alcohol over long periods will cause an increase in weight ano this, in turn, will be associated with rise in blood pressure.
 Continued nervous excitement will raise the blood pressure, and exces- sive amounts of tea and coffee overstimulating an individual, may thus affect his blood pressure.
 People with high blood pressure must, therefore. be exceedingly care full about overexertion, about sud- den changes in posture and about sudden strains on their emotions.

 Answer - Coffee clear or with cream or with sugar or both is not harmful but beneficial to most adults.
 Orange Juice
 Would it destroy the vitamin to keep orange juice in refrigerator over night? Is it harmful to drink when so kept standing? (M.lAD
 Answer-It is perfectly wholesome, but some of the vitamin c in the freshly expressed juice is lost by oxidation on standing for several hours.
 Why don't you give the lowly pepper break as a rich source of vitamin c? J.C.)
 Answer-Green peppers, dadbust 'em, are perhaps the richest known source of vitamin c, ounce for ounce. But don't like peppers. I don't like mashed potatoes or grape fruit either, and it is no use trying to make me say nice things about 'em.

Your Children
By Olive Roberte Rartoa

Derring do is Q vital life force, and in children 1t is at it's height. Partly because caution has not been fixed by experience, and partly because restraint Is more unnatural than natural to youth.
 When the mother of active chil- dren begins to worry her head of because she never knows what they'll do next, she should try tC cultivate a little philosophy Something that goes like this: There is danger in everything There IS as much danger in a bean, if it gets into the wind- pipe, as there is in an airplane over a foggy mountain. I may up- set this pan of boiling water over my self, with more serious consequences than if Bobby fell out of the apple tree! But there's no adventure in beans and boiling water. And ad- venture is the spice of boys life.'
 When Instinct Is Undeveloped
 A week ago, I was an almost full-grown rooster in a five-gal- lon glass jug. Put there as a chick, he had thrived and grown. Holes had been drilled for feeding and cleansing, but there he was a prisoner. Ridiculous, certainly. Cruel? Your answer, this time.
 But he is safe. No hawk got him in infancy, no dog chased him in brotherhood, and no car can run him down now.
 highway and if the big cook-of-the- highway andif the blk cock-of-the- walk doesn't kill him right off, fly- ing wheels are almost certain to. He has had no close escapes to put him on guard.
 Children should learn body control. It is the SureSt road to real safety. They should have opportuni- ty to use judgment also, on their own responsibility, without too many tips from the sidelines. If they get into jams, how splendid it is to know how to think quickly and to get out themselves.
 Dexterity, agility, quick wits and cool head-all are assets to the grown man or woman, and all have to be developed from childhood on. Not after reaching legal age.
 Precaution Must Be Learned
 If it sounds as though were reeling off a rope long enough for Johnny to hang himself, that is not the case. The child must learn precaution with his daring, and restraint with his courage. Until he is sure enough and old enough to trust on his own, par ents must supply both. Our un- practicable boys must be saved in spite of themselves, and it is our place and right to warn them.
 The point is, however, that often we mothers go to extremes to save our own nerves. There is something in letting Bill climb the painters ladder to the porch roof while we look on and say, Five to one you make it, Bill. Hold tight and don't jiggle." It's better than chronically covering our heads with our aprons and moaning, "Oh, he'll be killed" and when he isn't flaying him historically and going to bed from shock.
 The wings of adventure. The zcst for risk. The thrill of vic- tory. The sure touch. Oh, my friends, they love it so. Does it seem kind to deny them all of it? Copyright, 1887, NEA Service, Incl

United Press Staff correspondent)
 Paris (UP) - Cotton evening gowns remain popular for mid- summer wear.
 PiqueS, linens, organdies and crinkled cotton crepts are all shown this season. Flower prints are bright and vivid, while the evening gowns in solid color material lean to pale pastel shades. Pure white is shown les sthan usual this season. White trimmed with royal blue and bright red is a carry-over of the Corona ton and is still shown in the big houses. White lowered in bright colors or white with applied stripes of other colors are all considered smart.
 Mousseline is the usual material for the short-skirted dancing frocks which are having such vogue here. The mousseline is cool and thin enough to be comfortable but has enough body to stand out in fullness for a large, bouffant skirt
 White mouseline trimmed with touches of flame red is smart as is white With shades Of blue green or yellow. Applied flowers of mousse line or taffeta are shown at several houses as trimming for summer eve- ming gowns. The flowers are applied as border to the neck line or hem and sometimes are used as banking for the lapels of an accompanying jacket.
 Pique usually is made into more tailored sort of evening gown, and .his year there Is trend to starch cd pique. The material becomes glossy and shiny looking, Which adds bit 10 i:s formality. Sheer linens kner tnan handkerchief linens, are palled "voile" apd are used in pas lels or in prints for summery gowns. These Are so sheer as to be transparent.

Strawberries need affectionate handling. They don't take kindly to shower baths. Keep them away from the faucet. Instead. put them in bowl of water and lift them out with the fingers somewhat apart to serve as a strainer. The sand and soil from the berries will settle to the bottom. For that req son, don't pour the water off the berries. Unless berries are unusual ly dirty, two such washings will be enough. Place them in a colander to drain. Then remove caps. Rinse again after removing caps If nec- eSSary.
 Never allow berries to stand in water to lose color and flavor. To sweeten strawberries before serving, cut in halves or chop rather than

NATURAL BREATHING FOR
 RELAXATION

Adultes subject to high tension, nervousness" high blood pressure, poor circulation, cold feet, difficulty in getting to sleep, chronic myocar- ditis (slow heart muscle failure) [, ShortneSs of breath on exertion, asthma, emphysema, chronic bron- chitis, chronic arthritis, Suboxida- tion, slow metabolism-boy, this is last years almanac-ought to prac- tice natural breathing for relaxa- tion. It is good for the circulation and steadying to the nerves, or any way it is good for what you poor misguided geeks call nerves"
 A normal person can take a full breath, when sitting at rest, then hold his breath for 40 to 45 sec- onds. After half a dozen inf1ations of the bellows-the belly-the same person can hold his breath from 60 to 90 seconds, perhaps two min- utes. The length of time person at rest can hold his breath is a gauge of the efficiency of his cir culation. Remember, the chief pur- pose of the circulation is internal respiration, that is, carrying oxy- gen to the cells of all the body tis- sues and carrying carbon dioxide back to the lungs to be blown off.
 It is a mistake to imagine you can increase the absorption of oxy- gen by deep breathing. Every such spurt of deeper or faster breath ing, though certainly 1t saturates the blood with oxygen, is invariably compensated by period of shall lower breathing or no breathing at all, So that the normal proportions of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood and tissues is restored in a few minutes. The phase of dimin- ished breathing balances the phase of increased breathing, except for the muscular effort involved. Indeed the only way a person can volun- tarily increase the absorption of oxygen in the blood and tissues, and of course the metabolism, is by exercise, muscular work of one kind or another.
 The notion that the type of breathing in woman is costal, that is with the chest, and in men dia- phragmatic, that is with the belly, is misleading. Many men whose physical education has been neg lected breathe poorly, unnaturally, too. On the other hand, many women today who have proper phys ical training, breathe well, naturally, with the belly. Old time corsets made 1t virtually impossible for the woman to breathe well. She had to breathe mainly with the upper chest if at all. There is no inherent difference in the type of breathing of man and woman: in the past woman's breathing was seriously hampered and her vite correspond ingly impaired. Native American women who have never worn cor sets nor had any special physical education Qndians) breathe natu- rally and well.
 Whoever wishes to learn the art of easy breathing (detailed inStruc- tions in Little Lesson 20, "The Art of Easy Breathing" for which send stamped envelope bearing your correct address and inclose ten cent coin) must CD keep his mind of his chest, pretend the chest is paralyzed or an immovable case: and @ regard his belly as bel- lows. In order to understand the action of the bellows, one must have a practical knowledge of the anat- omy and physiology of the breath ing muscle, the diaphragm.
