Heart Trouble Causes
Out of Seven Deaths
Soys Health Officer

For the past two weeks, causes and
symptoms Of heart disease have been
discussed. The leading cause of death
in Mississippi and throughout the
nation, heart disease last year caus-
ed in this state ! of every 7 deaths.
Intelligent care is saving many lives,
however, and could save many more.
If your physician bells you that
you have some form of heart trouble,
your chief problem is to understand
how to regulate your play and work
20 that you will get enough but not
too much physical exercise. Do not
undertake or persist in any physical
effort that might be called a strain.
Find out from your physician what
you may do and what you may not
do, and plan your life accordingly.
Proper hours of rest at night are
Of great Importance. When you are
asleep the heart gets the most rest.
Eight hours in bed should be the
minimum 10 are better.
If you are overweight, your ply
slclan may put you on a diet to re-
duce your weight, Follow his instruc-
tons about this matter as well as re-
garding your general health. You
want to be able to keep up a strong
resistance to infection. Remember
that colds, sore threats, and other
diseases due to germs sometimes
serve to start a more or less prolong-
Sd illness in a person with a weak
ened heart.
Never take medicine for your
neart except by your physicians or
ders, Guard against worry and all in
snse emotional disturbances.

gram was inaugurated. Officials of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Ser vice (formerly the Biological Sur vey) say that while further liber- alization of the hunting regulations is unlikely, no severe curtailment of sportsmen's activities will be nec- essary as long as the duck popula- ton continues to make gains.
 The waterfowl population has more than doubled since a low or 32 ,OO0, ,0OO was reached in 1885. Emergency funds were provided by Congress and the sale of duck stamps was inaugurated in 1884 to finance the purchase and main tenance of waterfowl refuges. The Federal government and states also frightened restrictions on duck hunt ing but these have been liberalized in the last two or three years.
 This years increase in ducks has been most notable in tho Central and Pacific Always, two regions that for several years showed the
