SOME PEOPLE GET II. E. F. WORRYING OVER H. B. P.

From the queries and comments in letters from readers it would seem that the quaint popular notion that meat, especially dark meat, yes, and eggs too, cause high blood pressure, is still taken too seriously. It may even be that some doctors, relics of the nineteenth century, still hand out funny diet lists that warn per sons with high blood pressure off from such food.
 Overeating, that is. taking more food than is necessary to maintain normal weight, growth, repair and physical efficiency, is probably a common factor of high blood pres sure (HBP) and if not cor rected probably hastens the develop ment of cardiovascular degeneration, heart artery wearing out (CVD) and premature old age. But neither scientifically nor clinically is there any evidence that meat, light or dark, or egg, or any other food con- taining protein (nitrogenous) ma terial is any more to blame than any other food material. Indeed the more recent investigations tend to incul-

pate carbohydrates and fats as the main offenders.
 | When Stefansson and Andersen, the Arctic explorers, lived for year on an exclusive meat diet, under the constant observation and study of I physicians, physiologistS, patholo- gists and chemists, Stefansson's blood pressure remained unchanged throughout the year, while Ander- sons. which was 140 systolic, 80 di- astolic at the beginning of the test was 120 systolic, 80 diastolic at the end of the test.
 My blood pressure has been meas ured good many times in the past twenty or thirty years, but I have never been sufficiently interested to know just what it is. Who cares about such things? Only the poor goof who has been frightened into believing the blood pressure is Seri- ous matter and that high blood pres- sure is dangerous state.
 Many things may cause the blood pressure to rise above the normal or ordinary, and most of the things that do so are not particularly seri- ous. Worry or anxiety may do so 1 even worry over the height of ones blood pressure.
 How widely the normal blood pressure for individuals varies is in dicated by the figures recorded in reference to the meat diet test just mentioned. Both men in their prime land in good health; Stefansson's pressure, 105-70; Anderson's, 140-8O to 120-80. Obviously it is inaccurate and misleading to attempt to set up any arbitrary scale of blood pressure according to age, as so many bunk merchants who cater to s-budgets do.
 People who imagine cutting out meat or eating less meat reduces blood pressure if the pressure is too high, ought to be informed that if the blood pressure becomes lower on such a regimen it is not because they have cut out meat but because they are eating less salt, which animal flesh contains, and perhaps also less salt on their food.

gan. Man is a social creature"
 Children then, we must believe, are friendly by birth. It is a heritage of the genus, like a sense of humor. If little child is shy or afraid, we must put it down to something that happens after his arrival in our midst. Just when, why or how this trust is diverted into anti-sociality will always be puzzle. But to know that triendliness is a birthright is a valuable aid to the mother who worries about her shy child.
 Learn to Give and Take It is well to encourage happy contacts when the child is young He learns to trust his friends and does not set his face against odds too great for him.
 Of course, if older children make fun of the little one, the child will naturally set up a de- fense. Whether he defends him. self by spunk, or by retirement, depends on his nature.
 Many a child on the other
  hand makes overtures of friend ship to the crowd, only to be re- fused a place in their intimate play. This is very cruel, and the hardest of all things for a mother to bear. She can do something about her backward child, but she cannot dictate to the small fraternity that blackballs her Sally or Joe. AS l have said be- fore, one good way is to look for more gracious friends.

By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer


 Experts agree that it is better to correct one or two beauty defects than to plan an elaborate beauty regime that will not fit in with your busy days.
 One famous manufacturer of cos metics says that the belief that one hasn't time to be beautiful is a great fallacy.
 "The best way to convince your self that you have time is to keep few pads and pencils scattered about the house-in the living room, the bedroom, the kitchen, your office if you are business woman," she writes.
 Whenever you find yourself vast ing time, check the nearest pad. Write down or 4-or or 10, mean ing the approximate number of min utes which have been wasted. At the end of the week gather up the pads, total your figures. You will be surprised how they mount. But don't stop there compare your figures with the following grand total which is basic beauty regime according to time"
 Then she lists these beauty rou- tines with the approximate number of minutes per week required for each. Cleansing, lubricating and toning face and throat-70 minutes. Exercises (20 minutes daily)- 140 minutes. Care of hair, including shampoo and wave set-95 minutes. Bathing-90 minutes. Care of nails and inc manicure-6O minutes. Total 455.
 Add to that total 35 minutes for brusing your hair for five minutes each night and you have 49O min- utes. Only 8 hours and 10 minutes per week. If your list of wasted minutes adds up to more than this, then you never again can say, and really believe it, that you have not time to keep yourself attractively ! lovely through the years.

Men and women who exercise au- thority should find this a fortunate rule of the stars. While those in | high place may be often misjudged there will be more kindly attitude toward them as envy and jealousy slowly disappear
 Women are subject to sway making for broader vision and bet ! ter understanding of modern social problems. They will render united service in many public movements. Warning is given that motives may be misconstrued and efforts thwarted through selfish ambition on the part of interruptions per sons. The universal brotherhood idea should be stressed in business and politics.
 Saturn still continues to disturb working mems organizations, but there may be growing evidence of harmony in union ranks where ri- valries cause dissensions. 1 This is read as a lucky wedding day. Brides of this date may be fortunate in obtaining wealth and coveted social recognition.
 Shopping is likely to be success lful under this configuration. Dress is to assume even more importance to women than it has at any recent period, the SeerS predict. American girls are to gain in- creased fame for their beauty and at the same time will prove their ability to perform real feats of dar ing in business, the professions and Isports.
