Hardening of the Arteries

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. IT han often been said that "A man is as old as bin arteries." And It is true that chronic heart, blood vessel and kidney diseases, which cause about 40 percent of all deaths in the 50-to-SO-year age group, are usually due to hardening of the arteires or arteriosclerosis. Arteriosclerosis may affect any of the areas of the body. It causes disease when it seriously interferes with the blood supply to such important organs as the heart, brain, or kidneys. No organ can, work without the oxygen and nourishment brought to it by the blood. When the blood supply is cut down below normal day after day and week after week as it is in arteriosclerosis, permanent damage Is sure to result and with this injury comes disease. Reason a Mystery Just why arteries harden is still one of the mysteries of medicine, nor do we know why hardening should occur four times as frequently in men as in women. Though It usually comes on after the age of 40. many doctors are donvimed that it Is not simply a part of growing old but due to definite disease. Cho symptoms produced by arteriosclerosis will depend upon which of the areas are chiefly

cher, who served more than 20 years on the Indiana Board of Tax Commissioners, was widely known throughout the state. He was an authority on taxes and budgets and served with great credit on the various boards to which he was named by governors of both parties. He visited Decatur often during his political career, which started back in ISM 9. laical friends always found him a genial and cultured gentleman. Because the usual supply of fresh eggs has uot been placed in storage during the lush laying sea son, the prediction is made that eggs will <limb to eighty-cents a dozen during the fall and winter months. Consumption of eggs has risen greatly in past months and poultrymen say there are fewer laying hens on the farm. Well, if the supply exceeded demand, the price would drop to about 15 cents a dozen and then nobody would want a breakfast of bacon and eggs. This country seems to like to talk about shortages. o 0 Recently state tribute was paid to the late Rev. Charles Lee O'Donnell, former president of the University of Notre Dame, whose early death ended an illustrous career as au educator and spiritual emissary. Yesterday, at Greenfield. the birthplace of the priest whom from humble birth rose to a place of eminence in the educational world, the citizens dedicated a bronze plaque to his memory, with the inscription, "Soldier, poet, statesman, teacher, president of Notre Dame University. 1928-1934.’’ He Joined the towns list of famous sons, probably the most widely known being the beloved Hoosier poet. James Whitcomb Riley, from whom it is said Father O'Donnell received his first inspiration to write verse. <•» 0 Q— The American Library Associa tlon has Just completed a two-year study of existing conditions in the country's libraries, and the report indicates lacks which will shock many readers. The committee says that many book collections are out of date, or worn out from constant use. Library staffs are not adequate, largely for the same reason that It is hard to get good teachers. New buildings, or additions to old ones, are needed in hundreds of communities, and new equipment in hundreds more. To bring our library systems up to the expected standard will be expensive. It is estimated that *MO,« 000,000 is needed for new construction or renovation, and another *150,000,000 must go for books and essential equipment. They suggest that such a program he financed by federal, state and local aid. keeping the libraries free of politics.

affected. With hardening of the coronary arteries, which supply the heart with blood, there may be such conditions as angina pectoris or spasm of the coronary arteries, with attacks of pain over the heart and Insufficient supply of blood to the heart muscles, producing death of some of the muscle tissue. in men over forty, any pain in the chest, neck or arms which is irrodnced hy physical effort should suggest that .angina pectoris may be present, and a careful examina tlon should he made including electrocardiography or electric tracing of the heart beat. With the proper treatment of angina pec torts, life may be prolonged for a considerable time. The patient should not be overexcited about bls condition, but his activities should be limited so as to put no excessive strain on tbe heart. Hardening of the arteries of the brain may lead to the cutting down of the blood supply to the brain tissue and Interfere with mental funciiuus. Hardening of the arteries in tbe legs causes pain in the muscles of tbe calf on walking. The development of ulcers or sores may occur. ®r even gangrene or death of the tissue. Ln fortunately, U p to the present time, no method has been found of checking arteriosclerosis or for relieving it once it has developed.

To have let her mother speak her ultimatum. for she knew It was intended to be such, and not tell her that she had given Rufus a half-promise, at least, to marry him. She had not missed the challenge In Diane's quick glance at her, that moment at dinner after her father had spoken of Rufus’ editorials. Diane, in her place, would have defended Rufus instantly. She dropped her hands almost angrily. "What has she got that I haven’t?" She asked that over and over, as despairingly, those months ago, when she had to stand by and see Diane take BilL She began to undress, quickly, heedlessly, throwing her clothes in every direction. She slipped into bed, switched off the light by the side of the bed. drew the covers close to her chin a» though she were cold. She was shivering, yet burning at the same time. Now In (he darkness she must face th-v truth waiting under her other emotions. That she still loved Hill. She’d known, tonight, when she offered him her tribute and every pulse In her leaped to the touch of his lips, his hands. A sense of helplessness sweeping her, she caught at the bedcover, clung to it for its frail support She would love Bill like this, all her life! Whatever she did. wherever she went Even years from now, people would talk about It p-Mnt her out. "There’s a woman who couldn’t geP over loving a man who didn't want her. No, she’s never married.” Some would pity her as her mother had tonight. Her mother, having spoken of it, would go on and on referring to it with a pity that would be intolerable, with a veiled indignation at Bill for his blindness. -And I did try to forget it I did! I hate it—X hate that kind of a girt!" She realised swiftly that she was crying this out to Rufus. Rufus, whom she had promised, who believed she was forgetting, who, the last time they had met day before yesterday, had asked her if she were not ready to say she would marry him. "I've a strong theory, Page, that real love only comes after marriage. There’s an attraction And, chemical, maybe, and if you’re sure of that it’s enough to go on. But the lasting thing grows out of vour years together.” (m other occasions Rufus had expressed equally strong conviction* Your emotions were what you mads of them and more times than not synthetic for letting so much into them whieh didn’t heJpng.

"I'll tell him tomorrow that I'll marry him—make It deAnite, commit myself. I’ll let him think I'm all over loving Bill. HI live a lie! But it'll be better than—than this!" Tears Ailed her eyes and ran down her cheeks and she turned her face into her pillow. Bhe waited until late in the morning to appear downstairs, hoping that her mother would have gone out But Mrs. Winston met her in the hail, followed her into the breakfast room. "Did you get a good sleep, dear? Won’t you eat an egg for breakfast—just this once?" Page consented to the egg, to silence her mother. But after ordering it. her mother lingered. "I’ve been talking with your father about taking a little motor trip. Maybe to the White Mountains. Remember that place we liked so well? What was the name <rf it? Well, I’ve it written down, somewhere! On the way home we can stop in New York and do some shopping. The fall things are Jn," "It would be Europe if Mother didn’t get seasick," thought Page, her lips tightening. She said: "When would we go?" "Your father says he can get away next week.” Mrs. Winston looked a little sharply at Page. "Why did you ask that?" "Oh. no particular reason.” “What are you doing today? I phoned Cousin Lucy that I’d drive out and eat luncheon with her. Will you come with me?" "Not this time. Mother, if you don’t mind. It’s so dreadfully burirtg. I’d rather find someone to play tennis with—" “I hope net Diane or any of those other girls in that crowd!" Page suppressed a >igh. It would go on and on. now. about Diane. "Libby Marston said something about playing some day." "Oh, Libby! I'd be glad if you'd see more of her, Page. I’ll go along now. I want to pick up some books to take out to -xw Lucy. I’ll give her your love and teU her you’ll corns with me next time. It bores ms too. Page, but it’s my duty— She’s your father’s cousin." Immediately on her mothers going Page went from the table to the telephone in the library, to call Rufus, not Übhy. "Can we have luncheon together?” It was the first th ie, she realized, that she had been the one to suggest their meeting. She fancied surprise and delight in Rufus’ voice when he said he’d eat with »er. -Same place?" i

The place was the "Canary," aa unpretentious restaurant near the i Post molding. Rufus had found it the first week he was in Grand- ' harbor, liked its homey atmosphere and its pies. He had taken i Page there frequently, and Page approved it because she wa not I likely to meet any of her or her mother's friends there. They had , gone often enough to have a favorite table, half-booth, set in a . square embrasure of window, which gave them i degree of privacy. His hand on her elbow, Rufus steered Page to it now. "New dreast" he asked, after they had ordered. His eyes, resting on her, were warm in approval of her. “No. Though 1 don’t think you’ve seen it before." "I like that color. Like those first leaves on an apple tree; you know, the curly ones that come under the blossoms." She looked down at the color ot the linen dress she wore. She kept her eyes down, desperately seeking courage to say what she wu going to say. say it so that P.ufus would believe—- “ What is it. Page?" She winced at the gentleness suddenly in his tone. She dragged her eyes up to meet his deeply kind look. She forced a smile. "I wanted to see you, Rufus— It’s funny to tell you here—not very romantic—but the other day you asked—l will say l’R marry you!

She said, a little unsteadily: "Let's ga" He got up, took a bill out of his pocket, threw it to the table, picked up her bag and gloves and thrust them into her hand, pulled her up out of her chair and led her past the astonished waitress and others staring from nearby tables. -This is love, when I turn my back on Hungarian goulash!?
