A Diet For High Blood P ressure

By Herman N. Bundeten, M. 0. Research into the causes of high Mood pressure, which has been gathering momentum during the past 2ft years, is slowly but surely yielding a better understanding of this disorder which today affect* so many middle-aged and elderly people in the United States. It I* pretty well established, for instance, that high blood pressure does its chief damage, not In the body's big arteries but in the countless tiny vessels which actually feed organ* and tissues It has aleo been demonstrated that most peo pie who suffer from high blood pressure have sn Increased resistance to the flow of blood through these small vessels. Overwork and worry, or any condition which causes nervous tension. may cause the tiny blood vessels to contract and thus increase the resistance of the flow of the Mood through them. For this reason. rent and sedatives or quieting drugs are used In the treatment of high blood pressure, and operation to eut the nerves which run to these Mood vessels has also been used with benefit in many instan ces. Recently, using a diet containing very little salt, together with giving certain preparations mmtatni! mercury to increase the rate of egeretfow of salt hi the body through the Hdnevs. has been found to reduce high blood pressure to a nor ■al level. In some aeon within a few days Even if the Mood gresv are itself to not lowered by this. method, spaas <* the Mood ***•*!»., Wadacba sad other aymptoag W>' 1 to relieved tor maay months >

There Is one part of the coun fry where no American I* allowed to vote. TMt. Os course.

Ry this a council of 11 members, nine elected by the voters and two appointed by the president, would replace the prevent commission of three members, all presidentially appointed The* residents of the capital could enjoy the traditional American privilege of choosing their own officers. They should have that right. o o— The country reached a peak In employment and production and now things are tapering off a little Generally, condition* are good, for more (ban 55 million persons are still employed tn the country. It's onfy when factories shut down, that we have she opposite of good times and then wish the wheels would start moving again With prospects for bumper crop* again this year, the farmer Mill fdsume buying and the cycle of trade will revive employment. We hope that every man and woman who wants to work can find a job, live happily apd enjoy Hfe i o o . Smoke Rings: Cigarets are so much a part of I American life that it is hard to realize that they have been smoked in the United States only since the ISgO's They came from England. wM< h had only then begun to make them. Cigars are not a great deal older in England and | the United States They did not come In use In England until about 1815. having doubtless been Introduced by soldiers who fought in Spain and Portugal against Napoleon. As late as 1815 the Duke of Wellington, commander-in-chief of the British army, tried to forbid smoking by officers and soldiers. These and other curious facts come out of the George Arents collection on tobacco, the largest *v»"r’ brought together. Formed by a retired tobacco merchant and numbering over 3.000 items. It was given by him to the New York Public Library. The collection includes extraordinarily rare travel books on the discovery of America, bought because they contain the first recorded references to th* use of tobacco; essays and poems In praise of the weed; anti tobacco literature; material* rm the growth and taxation of the plant—ln fact every aspect Imaginable. It's a tremendously' interesting collection, and tobacco users may want to tight a pipe In honor of Arents —the man who put tobacco into an honored place in an important library.

to peace at last, and that whatever he does after this will not cost him his integrity or his manliness. She said simply, "You may tell me about Bonnie, Porter. She knew as well as I that day in your office that we had m t before. She was so troubled, so fit at ease she couldn't work." His smile was compassionate for Bonnie. "She didn’t want you to see what a poor typist she is. She is a terrible secretary, but she’s a sweet girt A little heMess and very confused, but sweet" And after a moment he said, "Sure yeWd met her when we first went to California She was a bride then and her husband had gone. You never met him, Bee. I was with him before he got a transfer—a one-way ticket He never came heck. He was a greet guy. Buck Dunn. But he must have had some sort of premonition because he wrote Bonnie If she ever needed help to look me up. She did need help badly, so badly she came across country by bus. I gave her the job even though rt»e had had almost no training. She was the widow of a hero, we forget too soon. She lost her baby, too, as you did.

She was terribly fit love with Buck." When he hesitated, Beatrice did I not say anything.
