Answer: Of course. There are
many instances on record of crimi-
nails having wives or sweethearts
who were decent, law-abiding wom-
en-. But whether she's conscious Of
the fact or not-and frequently she
isn't-at bottom the woman usually
falls in love because the mans law
less behavior gives secondhand
expression to part of her character
which she has always repressed and
believes she disapproves of. And
the criminal in turn may see in a
good woman a side of himself
which still survives despite his ef-
forts to destroy it.
Arizona sun., 1949-03-25

Answer: No, though the two
words are frequently confused in
popular writing on psychology.
While psychiatrists seldom use it,
"subconscious" describes the mem
cries and ideas which are not 'in
your mind" at the moment but are
where you can recall them if you
want to-like your first impression
of the girl you married. Your "un-
conscious" mind contains mass Of
fears and urges you know nothing
at all about and can be aware of
only if somebody shows them to
you. The real reasons why you fell
in love were probably "uncon-
scious."

hereditary?

Answer: Inherited weakness is not
the main factor in most cases. Men
tai deficiency is not a disease; it is
a symptom which may be produced
by many causes. among which he
redity is relatively minor. These
causes may include early mental
illness, injury before, during, or
after birth, and glandular disorders.

BECAUSE it is known that the Chi
nese, as a race, have a lower
blood pressure than those in Amer
lea, it is only natural that it has
been thought that it is because rice
Is their main food.
While food does have something
to do with blood pressure, the prin-
cipal reason for their lower blood
pressure is their philosophical calm
way of living.
1t is known that after Chinese
come to America to live, their
blood pressure gradually in
creases. And when citizens of
America live in China for few
years, and learn to live more
like the Chinese, their blood
pressure decreases.
Because it is known that high
blood pressure causes heart strokes
(coronary thrombosis) and brain
strokes (apoplexy). physicians have
been investigating the effects of the
rice diet on blood pressure. Instead
of eating the usual meals of meat
and vegetables, patients with high
blood pressure have diet consist
ing of rice and fruit juices.

KEEPING HEALTHY
Blood Pressure and Rice Diet
BY DR.. james w. Borfon


It has been found in a closely
followed series of cases that all pa
tients put on the rice diet lose
weight for the first three weeks
while the body adjusts it's water
balance.
While depression of spirits Oc-
ours during the first few weeks
and many patients refuse to
continue the diet, If they can be
persuaded to persist for some
time longer, they lose this de-
preston of spirits and feel bet
ter. However, once off the diet,
they won't go back on.
While rice and fruit juices un-
doubtedly help to prevent a rise in
blood pressure, the very fact that
weight is lost ''only for the first
three weeks" of the rice diet points
to the water held in the blood and
tissues by the salt in the food as
the real cause of decrease in blood
pressure. Rice and fruit juices con-
tain little or no salt. Thus, by cut
ting down on. table salt in and on
foods and also on salt foods for
three weeks, it would be worthwhile
to go on the rice diet for high blood
pressure.
Arizona sun., 1949-03-25

When there is distress from gas,
the family doctor should be con-
suited. A X-ray examination of the
stomach, gall bladder and intestines
and close checking of effects of GER
tain foods may show whether it is
putrefa ction of the proteins-meat
and fish-faulty fermentation of
starch foods, or the action of fat in
delaying emptying of the stomach
contents that is causing fatulence.

AIbino Horses

While cases of albino horses are
known, ordinary white horses are
not born white.
Horses of certain colors. par
ticularly dappled grays, become
lighter as they grow older-until
they become pure white. Such
horses do not give birth to white
colts which are so rare that they
are virtually unknown.
Many Arabian horses are light
gray at birth and become pure
white at the age of four or five
years.
