Doctor Explodes Causes
For High Blood Pressure

It is popular these days to at
tribute the increasing incidence of
arterial hypertension-high blood
pressure-to the mad, dizzy pace of
this modern life of ours.
But an eminent specialist believes
no such thing. He says the COM
plexity and chaos of modern living
may accentuate the condition but
does not directly cause it. He hopes
that medical science will in the very
near future perfect a substance
which, when injected into the blood
stream, will bring pressure down to
normal or at least reduce it below
the danger point.
The doctor is DR.. Soma Weiss,
physician in chief at the Peter Bent
Brigham hospital at Boston, Mass,
and professor of medicine at Har-
ward university.
The care-free Southern darby,
without care in the world, joyous
from dawn until dusk, is as suscepti-
BILE to high blood pressure, he says,
as the big hard-riding executive with
a carload of troubles and battery
OF telephones always before him.
I'm small villages" he says,
where life is quiet and excitement
rare, high blood pressure is as fire.
quently found as in the larger cen
tiers of population. Life may be
psychically more intense in cities,
but not necessarily harder. Hyper
tension is not caused by psychic in
tensity, although psychic intensity
may accentuate it."
He goes even further. He doubts
that apprehension cases are becom-
ing alarmingly more numerous
That they appear to have become
more numerous, he thinks, may be
somewhat due to the fact that people
live longer and have an opportunity
to develop the disease.
apprehension, he says, is caused
there are exceptionally the pres
ence in the blood of a chemical sub
stance produced by the kidneys.
This substance, the nature of which
is not yet known, causes a constric-
ton of the blood vessels. There are
two general sets of conditions that
bring about this action of the kid
neys, he says-a malfunction of GER
tain glands and a malfunction of
the kidney itself, both of which arise
out of progressive degenerative
processes. apprehension may also
be caused mechanically, he says, by
overweight. In this instance the
blood vessels are CONSTRUCTED by the
body itself, but reduction of weight
generally corrects the condition.

God Bless America Is
Song of Peace. Thanks

"God Bless !''-Irving
Berlin's ringing anthems sweep
ing the country.
If things 60 from bad to worse
in Europe it is a song that may
sweep the world.
It is not an anthem of war-but
OF peace and thanksgiving.
Irving Berlin has himself Just es-
tablished trust fund providing that
all royalties from God Bless Amer
ica!" be used among the youth of
this country for patriotic purposes.
The Boy Scouts and the Girl
Scouts of America are the first or
CARNATIONS to be selected by the
trustees.
The history of God Bless Amer
ica!" is rather unusual.
It was first written by Mr.. Berlin
in 1917, but we were so busy in
Europe that he did not publish it
until 1888.
Kate Smith sang it on the radio
and it instantly answered the pro-
found, unspoken yearnings of mil
lions of Americans.
"God Bless America!"
That is what millions in Europe
are saying under their breaths.
Let all Americans shout it to the
heavens.

Farms Large, Crops
Good In Colorado

Mrs. Mari Stottrup, in another
letter from the west to Askov
friends, this time from Fort Nor
gan, Colo, near Brush, tells of
the country and conditions there.
Her letter, in part, follows:
1t is interesting to live in a flat
along a creek, which drains a large
area of land, and see this creek when
it is swollen with rains or cloud
bursts.
The corn here looks very good,
as there has been plenty of rain
early in the season and irrigation
later from the flood waters of the
creek has sped up it growth. The
barley was very good and neighbours
wheat gave 40 bushels to the acre in
several places. One neighbor has
combined for 80 days and every
available space is filled with wheat
and barley Folks who have no
combine have not threshed yet.
Many use headers" building long
low stacks in the field, that from a
distance look like loaves of dark
bread. This tells the story of fruits
of the dry farmers labor.
Many farmers left during the dry
years here as elsewhere, and those
who remained had greater fields to
cover-16,000 acres is not a large
ranch. But the whitefaced cattle
are great rustlers and ask few favors.
The cows take care of themselves
