DOWN WITH HIGH BLOOD
 PRESSURE

I lost interest in the height of m. own blood pressure years ago. Th' last time I noticed it the pressure was not quite as high as most per sons of my age would have, if re- member. But on the numerous oc. casionS it has been measured in re. cent years I have not paid any at tention to the figures.
 AS long as my health is okeh ano I endeavor to live reasonably hy- gienic life, what do care how high or how tow my blood pressure may be.
 What I don't know about blood pressure fills many books, I fear, and needlessly worries a lot of mis- guided folk. What know about 1t I can tell you in a few words.
 I know that no honest doctor knows enough to give you any sound advice if he knows only that your blood pressure is so-and-so. I know that the character of the diet has no direct or immediate in- fiuence on the blood pressure-and this does not imply that overeating or crackpot dieting" is never harm ful to health.
 I know that the proportion of meat in the diet has no particular relation with the cause or develop ment of the various pathological conditions of which high blood pres sure may be one sign.
 I know that any advice an al- legged doctor hands out about avoid ing dark" meat or "red" meat or any food which theoretically or ac- tually contains much purim (nitro- genous material from which uric acid is derived) is talking through his hat, no matter how eminent he may be.
 Sometimes I get so wrought up thinking about it all that have a good notion to write book about it. But so far I have stayed that off successfully by hurrying over to the bowling green and getting into 8 game-a very good remedy for high blood pressure, by the way.
 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Farmers, Help! On receiving your monograph Wheat to Eat" tried to get wheat at our grocer, but he has only So- and-Sos packages |. Please tell me exactly what to ask for.
 Answer-Wheat is a grain or cer- cal, grown by farmers. Ask for just plain wheat. If the man looks blank explain that it is a grain or cereal grown by farmers. But don't let him suspect you're going to eat il yourself. Pretend you want to feeC it to the chickens or the pigeons. Ii he tries to interest you in other feeds tell him no, you want one witt belt in the back. It takes goOo deal of perseverance and personality but if you grit your teeth and bang the man on the nose once or twice you will succeed eventually in buy. ing peck-at least did-actually peck of plain wheat, or few pounds anyway. It has been done Any one else looking for trouble and better health? If so, send { stamped envelope bearing your ad' dress, and ask for monograph Wheat to Eat". Don't clip this iten and send it to me-I'll be so darr mad if you do ;.
 Has Dimple, Doesn't Need Crutch My weight is normal, am inclined to gain easily, so don't need vita min D, but I'd like to know. H M.)
 Answer-But doesn't the drumme always wear red suspenders? Weigh has nothing to do with need of vita min D. Underweight persons ma. . gain needed weight on vitamins, bu no one can ascribe excess weight t. vitamins.

STRAND

Performances tonight at Warner Brothers cozy, clean and comfort able Strand theater concludes the engagements of "The Buccaneer" starring Frederick March; also the Mauch twins, Billy and Bobby, in "Penrod and His Twin Brother.
 Most pictures which come to the local theaters boast two or maybe three stars at the head of their casts, but tomorrow's feature pre- sentation at the Strand, Gold Is Where You Find It" tops them all with roster which includes six outstanding players.
 Olivia de Havilland and George Brent are co-starred in the roman tic leads and are well supported by such popular favorites as Claude Rains, John Litel, Margaret Lind say, Barton MacLane, Tim Holt (son of Jack Holt) and Marcia Ralston.
 The film is an outdoor drama of California during the 1870's and tells of the famous feud between i the hydraulic miners and wheat ranchers which threatened to change the course of the states history.
 Acclaimed by reviewers to be one of the most beautiful Technicolor pictures ever produced, its scope required 8 cast of unusual talent. Plan to see it before the closing performance Tuesday night. Clarence Burlington Kellands hilarious Saturday Evening Post story "Stand-In" which kids Holly wood to the hilt, co-features the program. Leslie Howard and Joan Blondell head the cast and Hum phrey Bogart, Alan Mowbray Maria Shelton and Jack Carson are included.

Modern Furniture Adaptable

Modern furniture is particularly adaptable to sectional treatment. Love seats, divans and chests are often fashioned to be grouped to- gether as one piece, or may be used separately, whichever is most suited to the size and contour of your room. With care it may be com- bined harmoniously with other pe- riods of furniture if you wish to add a single new piece to an already furnished room.

 Answer-Touch each sore once with tincture of iodin-it smarts like everything for moment, then seems to relieve soreness. Many times daily, especially before and after eating, use mouthWash of warm boric acid solution-heaping teaspoonful boric acid dissolved in pint of boiled water. Avoid tooth- brush.
 Parkinsonian Handwriting I would appreciate your instruc- tion for Iodine ration. Am in my early sixties, feeling my age, and would be grateful for something that will brace me up (S. O.
 Answer-your handwriting shows you have Parkinson's disease, paral- ysis agitans. It is the only condition, SO far as I know, that may be diag- nosed by the handwriting. In view of your condition you need more calcium, vitamin D, perhaps a course of parathormone and hyoscin medication supervised by your phy- sician.

RA1o1NG FAMILY 10
 We don't know exactly what is going on in baby's mind. But one thing has been decided on, and that is fear. The bugaboo has come right into this world with him, strange to say. Two bad fears are quite noticeable; one is the fear of fall ing, the other, dread of constriction.

THE NIGHT FORE
ELECTIONS

Twas the night fore elections, when
all through the State
No man on ticket was sure of his
fate; The ballots were piled in
their bundles with care,
With visions of X marks to get in
their hair;
Sam Chase in his statue, with legend
to keep
Had just settled down for a few
hours of sleep
When outside the State House arose
such a clatter
Streets rose on their cobbles to see
what was the matter.
There chasing about, growing red in
the face
Were 88 people in a mud splatter-
ing race
All calling and coaxing with plea
after plea
The favor and aid of the battered
donkey.
"Can't everyone ride, neighed the
game little gray
"And those whom l take, remain
quite stay.
With all of those drivers, so lively
and quick
We knew it would never be easy to
pick.
More rapid than eagles, the candi-
dates came
| And he hallowed and shouted and
called them by name;
"Now Herbie and Lanny, and Howard
and Billy
I'll have to make three of you feel
awfully silly.
Like Nippy and Willy there's Bob
versus Pugh
But all of you boys are only few
At the House I'll drop Buscher, j.
Gill, Jones and Peele
Not mentioning Shoemaker = so
weary I feel.
My derby holds five for the Court
House up home.
MOBILES and Labor must mix in
this 'pome)
With Farmer, Plummer and Hampton,
T. Earle
(Odorion Roby has flag to unfurl)
The Court of the Orphans relieves me
The Honorable Wash, Charles M.
and Lewie
On the same floor hops Les, or Dixon
or Day
You see how I'll be in a terrible
way!
Mr.. Hanson G. Cashell is going up too.
Will gem for the Treasury read
lily do?
Will Evans be Wilder than Wilkinson,
Junior?
Can Maddox and Starkey quote
rules of the linear?
One ear dropped bit with dozen to
go
AS the fighting progressed with foe
against foe.
McGilliland, Roach, two Shaws and
one Walker
With Monkey made promises never
to falter
We overlooked Oxley back by rail,
But he'll get in just holding the
tail.
Dropping Davis and Edmonds, Bob
Hagner and Geary
The big Derby load, grows little
more airy
Yes, Phillips and Windham end up in
my cart
Now, please let me sleep, tomorrow
we start.
With flick of his name, trotting way
out of sight
Happy voting, he neighed, "and to
all goodnight"
