TIE DYING EMsER

A man, sings a confident chorus,
is as old as he feels Is he? He
would be IL he didn't doubt his
feeling There in his heart is the
dying ember. Let him blow upon II
and find its fire. II is there all
right-the fire-but how quickly 1t
now dies away. Or fooling himself
does he feel" that the glow lin
gers longer than it does in fact!
Listen TO this striking passage
from DR. Hertzler's latest book,
The Doctor and His Patients" DR.,
Hertzler writes: Just when is a
man old? There is only one infalli-
bic sign and that is when he de-
clares anent nothing, that he is
as good as he ever was. No matter
what the subject at issue may be
he thereby reveals d subconscious
voice. II 1t concerns physical labor
he exhibits supple joints, which, ex-
cept TO him. creak with senility;
and while exhibiting this physical
proves, shows shortness OF
breath which is due to q dllated
heart that signals the coming end.
Il remember with pleasure a fine
old man aged 90 who delighted to
stand on one foot while he struck
a match on the sole OF the other
shoe. He became obviously short OF
breath in the process but he paid
no heed to that He referred to his
wife, my patient, aged SIS. as the
girl Yet after all since he succeed
ed In fooling himself II is but a
small matter that no one else shared
his delusion and everybody was con.
siderate enough not to show him
his folly in assuming a vigor he did
not have"
II Is a little difficult TO follow
the doctors reasoning ia his last
example. After all. to stand on one
foot at the age OF 80 is a feat. Most
people are permanently on their
backs long before they reach that
age.

OUR FREEDOM

Advancement Of the national de-
Tense program is certain TO raise
problems concerning the proper re-
lationship between industry and
government. President Roosevelt
has suggested that II will be neces-
sary to bear down in those cases
where a cooperative attitude fails

In this connection. it is notewor-
thy that a survey conducted for the
National Association Of Manufactur'
ers shows that II per cent Of a
cross-section group OF American
citizens are of the belief that their
personal liberty would be curtailed

There is added significance in the
fact that large msiorities OF the

that individual freedom would be
sppreciably diminished If the people

they could not assemble to discuss

At a time when democracy is
threatened by the onward march of

be regarded as a wholesome reflec-

conception OF the implications OF

alive. In 1899 only AZ out OF every
1000 born alive died In their first
year. (Michigan's child mortality
rate is s points below the national
rate.)
The death rate for mothers has
also dropped in Michigan. In 1915
81 mothers OF every 1000 died-as
compared to 81 in 1889. (The ma.
tional rate Is 40.)

lucky people feel good in the morn
ing and stay feeling good all day.
Most cases Of organic disease, as
we'll as functional nervous disease
(neurasthenia), belong to the
category Of those who feel good
when they first get up and get
. worse as the day advances.
A Typical Example
The typical example Of the one
who feels terrible when he first
gets up and gets better as time
goes on, is the chronic alcoholic,
or the fellow with a hangover.
Another example, however, are
the people with certain kinds Of
low blood pressure. Now, low
blood pressure is largely a matter
for congratulation. People who
have discovered they have low
blood pressure often write me in
CONSERVATION as TO what to do
about it, and | invariably tell
them to get down on their knees
and thank God for it. People with
low blood pressure are usually
those who live to an advanced age.
There is a peculiar type Of low
blood pressure, however, which
causes symptoms that have been
very pulling. These are the peo-
pie who have low blood pressure
only when they are standing up
and they are the typical examples
of the people who feel badly when
they get up in the morning and
feel fine as the day goes on. They
feel badly because when they get
up they have suddenly changed
from a recumbent to an erect posi-
ton. So long as they are recum-
bent the blood pressure is equal
lied and they have no sensation.
When they get up the blood pres
sure drops very abruptly and they
are liable to have a feeling Of
fatigue and malaise and general
all-in sensation. AS the day wears
on, some kind Of adjustment takes
place-their blood vessels contract
somewhat, the blood pressure rises
and that is why they feel better as
time goes on.
Probable Prevention
1t is probable that these symp-
toms can be prevented by the SIM
pie manoeuvre Of putting corset
on and binding the legs up with an
elastic bandage or with an ordi-
nary bandage. This supports the
large veins of the abdomen and
legs. 1t is probable that the low
blood pressure in these people is
due to lack of efficiency in the veins
rather than in the arteries. In the
erect position, the blood accumu-
lates there and the heart has no
blood to work on and, therefore,
the blood pressure drops.
AS a matter of fact, the same
procedure works in preventing
shock in certain kinds Of surgical
operations. In certain operations
on the head, it is customary now
adays to have the patient sit up.
This position undoubtedly reduces
the shock which is so frequent
with this class of patient. In one
surgical clinic, it was found that
if a tight bandage was put around
the feet and legs nearly 100 per
cent went through the operation
without anv indications of shock

How Bio?

A recent publicity release from the
Bureau of the Census gives to the
Nations Capital the eleventh po-
Sition in list of American cities.
Washington, according to the claSsi-
fication indicated, is surpassed in
population by New York, Chicago,
Philadelphia, Detroit, Los Angeles,
Cleveland, Baltimore, st. Louis, Bos-
ton and Pittsburgh. But the super
iority of those towns, it seems from
closer examination of the figures, is
less impressive than might be ex-
pected. Much depends upon the
geographical areas included in the
counting Of noses.
To illustrate the difficulty, in the
1910 enumeration Washington is al
lowed only 663,os1 residents. Yet on
April 4, 1941, Acting Director Vergil
D. Reed reported 1915 men, women
and children residing in "the metro
politan district" of Washington.
Some confusion undoubtedly ac-
crues from the fact that the designa-
ton of "the metropolitan district"
is not understood clearly. When
the term is applied to Washington
it embraces incorporated places, +"
including: Alexandria, Va; Ber-
wyn Heights. Bladensburg. Boulevard
Heights, Bowie, Brentwood, Capitol
Heights, Cheverly, Colmar Manor.
Cottage City, District Heights, Ed
monston, Md; Fairfax. Va: Fair
