before night I was the driver of the
Overland Stage!"
He knew horses, SO did not have any
difficulty with them. He describes his
business: In them days the contract
ors who run the stages was held by
contract to cover 100 miles day. We
had six horses that made three teams
The first was hitched to the wagon
tongue and was called 'wheelers, and
the other two teams was hitched to
a Swingin' pole, fastened to the wagon
tongue. The second team was called
the swing and the one in front the
lead
We changed horses every eight
miles. and I'm here TO tell you that we
sure needed TO. We'd drive them horses
at trOt or run, if the lay of the
land'd let us. and them roads warnt
what you might call boolevards. Up on
the boot there was a good seat for
the driver and room for the express
messenger. Under the boot was where
we carried the mail and the bullion.
The road agents got SO bad. after a
while. that the stage coach people had
secret boxes built into the rear axle to
hide the gold in. That looked all right

While no one knows the precise
cause OF high blood pressure, there is
no question but that some cases can
be prevented, and that others can be
controlled without great difficulty.
One effective way of coping with
high blood pressure is to find out about
1t early. This can best be accomplished
by the habit of having an annual
physical examination. If the doctor
discovers that your blood pressure is
not quite normal, he will advise how
TO keep in under control.
Among the most important of the
factors that regulate the blood pressure
are the nature of the diet and the &C
tlvity OF the body. In some instances,
high blood pressure seems to be due
to heredity, but in many cases it is
due to overweight. to certain types of
kidney disease. and to nervous strain
and a high-tenSion life.
Obesity is, in general, bad for the
blood pressure, and so a gradual re-
ducing process is necessary Adequate
rest is also essential. with freedom
from worry. fear and excitement.
The diet for persons with high blood
pressure should consist of bland, easily
digested foods, high in nutritive values.
The best of these for the purpose are
pasteurized or certified mix, white
bread and butter, fruits and fruit
juices and all vegetables Meats are re-
stricted in such a diet, and salt is
usually eliminated.
The person with high blood pressure
must give up alcohol and stimulantS.
stop smoking, and in certain cases must
reduce his intake of fluids. He should,
of course, consult his family physician
as to the proper regimen for his par
ticular case. Self medication except by
proper diet and rest, is not advisable
in this condition.
