Heart Patient Can Do Much to Help Himself

Ry HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. MODERN medicine and surgery save heart disease victims every day. But if you’ve got heart disease, don’t rely on surgery and medicine alone to save you. There’s much you can do both at home and at work to help prolong your life. Some Valuable Rules Statistics show that, as a group, business and professional men are hardest hit by heart disease. If you’re in that category, here are some important rules you should follow: Don’t make your job your whole life.'Your personal welfare and that of your family should come first. Leave your work at your office. Don’t take it home with you, or to lunch, either. And don’t go to the office on weekends or holidays. Vacations Are Vital Take a vacation from .your job every year. Don't attend all the meetings, banquets and get-togethers to which yoiTare invited. Generally, you can follow these suggestions whatever your job may be. And here are some others that will usually benefit every heart patient: Wherever you are, you’ve got to relax, whether it's at work, at home, at play, or even while eating. And that’s another thing. Don’t overeat. I’ll have more to k say about what you should and shouldn’t eat later on. Worry and argue as little as possible.

Go easy on smoking. Limit yourself to no more than 15 cigarettes or three cigars a day unless your doctor has directed otherwise. If you’re suffering ..from angina pectoris (a condition resulting when the coronary arteries cannot supply sufficient blood to the heart muscle), you probably shouldn’t smoke at alt Moderate Exercise Quit your job a little early, if possible, and get about an hour of moderate exercise outdoors each day. In some cases, golf is all right; in others, it isn’t. In general, try to avoid competitive sports, because they bring on excitement. Don’t become a weekend athlete and try to do things you know you can’t If you’re the athletic type anyway, you’ve got to reduce your ambitious drive. It burns up too much energy. And, remember, most of you aren’t kids any more. So act your age. QUESTION AND ANSWER- 1 C. M.: I have neuritis in both my arms. Is there any cure for it? Answer: Neuritis means inflammation of the nerves or the tissues surrounding the nerves. Your difficulty might be due to some type of Infection or Inflammation of the joints, or to a circulatory disturbance. You are In need of a careful study by your physician to find the exact cause for your troubla ' so that proper treatment may be I prescribed

CHAPTER TWENTY ON FRIDAY, as soon as his ilane landed, Norman phoned to .ell Cynthia how pleased he was that she was spending the week md at Pleasantrldge. He suggested hat he pick her up and drive her >ut. "Otherwise, you might have xottble finding it," he said. “It’s :asy as pie, once you’ve been there, jut not so easy unless you know vhere to turn off the main highvay.” Cynthia told him she could be eady whenever it suited him. He nust have phoned the chnic first md been told he could reach her it her apartment. She hoped Dr. Sellars had given that information. -She.wished she would stop hinking about him. She deternined to put all thoughts of Dr. Walter Sellars out of her mind for he coming week end. She deternined she would have a good time, i real vacation. And that remark >f Roz s about her face freezing >ut all such good times kept comng back into her mind. Norman was complimentary, as isual, wheri he saw her. He said le had missed her like the very iickens. And he surely was glad lis mother had had this inspira.ion. "Are you sure it was your nother’s idea?” Cynthia asked. "I most certainly am. Mom is ihvays thinking up something renarkable. She's a remarkable wonan, as you shall see. And you’ll ove my dad—he’s a grand guy.” Cynthia the way he spoke ibout his family. You could feel he close ties, the deep affection. She asked if there were any Jther members of the family living it Pleasantrldge. "Besides me, there’s only-my older brother,” Norman returned. ‘Jim always had. the wanderlust. After he came out of the army, he went back to England for a couple □f years. Married a nice English girl, and they’re living in Canada now, where an uncle of Margie's has some mining interests. They have quite a family of their own. Five kids to be exact; one pair of twins.” "How nice!” All that he had said of *his family sounded nice; substantial and good and real. Imagine having twins!' Cynthia could not think of anything more thrilling happening to a woman. , ’They’re a handful.” Norman grinned. "And they sure have made Jim settle down. But we all come to that, eventually—especially if we’re lucky enough to find a girl like Jim’a Margie. Or one like you, Cynthia," he added. "Now, sec here," Cynthia said, "don't get 4 into your head uiat I’m visiting your family as a possible candidate for in-law-ship. Let's, put ail that aside for this week end. Norman.

This is not only perfectly proper, but it is the courteous thing to do. Q. Is it proper always to thank a hostess for a meal in her hbme? A. One does not thank a hostess for “having fed one.” Instead, be sure to tell her how much' you have enjoyed your visit. o 0 {Household Scrapbook I BY ROBERTA LEE i ■— -fl Cleaning Kid Gloves Mix 15 drops of solution of ammonia and a half pint of spirits of 1 turpentine.

And I really came because your mother said she had some ideas of her own about the chnic.” "Oh, you did, did you?” His eyes, meeting hers, were teasing as though he doubted the full veracity of that “Yes, I did.” She had the grace to blush, because she had also accepted thia invitation as a devious method of getting at Walt They had come to the place to turn off the main highway. It was just a dirt road that apparently led nowhere. Cynthia could underetand why it would not be easy to find unless you knew about it. Then, as the road twisted and climbed, it suddenly came upon a full view of what must be Pleasantridge Farms. beautiful old colonial-type house sitting in a grove of trees, and surrounded by rolling fields and hillsides, with cattle grazing peacefully and a few norses nibbling, too, at velvetgreen grass ... Only the lambs were missing! Cynthia thought. "It’s lovely!" she could not keep from exclaiming. Yes, Roz’s elegant was almost the word, with the freshly painted white rail fences, that enclosed the acreage, the white barns and utility buildings; the natural beauty of the surroundings that yet looked so well-groomed and tended, and the big white mansion that might have been clipped from an oldfashioned book with a Civil war romance for its theme. "It is nice, isn’t it?” There was pride in Norman's voice. "It's something to come home to, believe me. Another reason I’m glad to be working in Washington—l can come home every week end. Mom and Dad woh't admit it, but there are times, with Jim and his family so far away, when they get lonely. "But come on, let's go In! I know they’re waiting to make you welcome, Cynthia." He opened the door of the car, came around to her side. His eyes looked into hers, wearing that intimate, disturbing look. "I promise to try to be good. Try /iot to embarrass you, my sweet.' 1 want your first visit, like all those to come after It, to be a happy experience at Plcasantrldgc." • He spoke as though he were certain that many more visits would follow this first one. But she did not have the heart to rebuke him, not when he looked at her with his heart In his eyes. It was a pleasant week end In fact, Cynthia could not remember when she had had such an. enjoyable" time—certainly not in a long, long while.

It is

everywhere, tiny wild flowers pushing bravely up through matted leaves, birds building nests and caroling joyously to one another, bushes and trees bursting forth in a haze of delicate greens. The dogwood trees were in flower and they lent an air of enchantment; pink crab-apple blossoms added a contrast in color; squirrels—and once, a family of tiny cottontails —scurried about their affairs. , It was a beautiful world. “It's what I meant about always hanging on to hope,” Norman remarked, when Cynthia blissfully sighed about all this beauty. ‘‘How could anyone give up, when nature never does? Or lose faith when it’s renewed,- right before your eyes, every spring?” When they were alone, he could not keep that certain look from hu> eyes. But he had kept his word and behaved exceptionally well. As Norman had predicted, Cynthia had fallen in love with his fatner. Edward Brandt was the sort ot man you felt, after a few minutes, you had known all your life. He had so much warmth in his personality that some of it seeped through into yours. He was somewhat stocky, with gray hair and heavy gray eyebrows, and his blue eyes seemed always to be smiling, as though he held the key to some delightful secret. “Your dad is wonderful,” Cynthia told Norman. “You were right—l’ve fallen in love with him.” "I might have known.” Norman gave his rueful grin. “Dad always i beats my time. And he’s taken to i you, too. In fact, I imagine he's already decided you are exactly I what he would order for a daughter. Cyhthia laughed, but she felt very highly complimented. She , thought that Norman took after hIS father, more than his mother. She liked Elizabeth Brandt; yet she was not a woman one could get to know intimately in a short while. She was so regal, for one thing. Her face was as smooth and unlined as a girl's; her figure as trim. She was tall and carried herself so well that that alone gave her a queenly air. She was loyely to Cynthia, too,, but the young nurte felt certain reservations. Norman’s father might be won over completely, satisfied that since Cynthia was young and pretty and natural, she would ‘be right for his son. Not so with Norman’s mother. The girl her son chose must be exceptional —youth and attractiveness, even a lively mind, would not suffice. She must hold deeper qualifications. But hold on, Cynthia warned herself, when she found such thoughts confronting her. You are not here on trial. Or to be looked over and appraised as a possible addition to Plcaaautridgr.

She had been at work on it since 1984. It is a document of extraordinary human interest. - "THE CHRISTMAS ANNUAL” published by the Augsberg press annually since 1931 is unusually lovely this year. "THE WHITE GATE” by Mary Ellen Chase. the author has written a sweet and lovely story ot her childhood. She has succeeded in recollecting what is memorable to a child-—the bubbling of the water beneath the ice, the great desire to have a room for herself, of the uncle who used big, unusual words, ‘ln these pages are all of us as we once were regardless of our time and place.” Suggests Probers Not Bother Hiss . Rejects General Fishing Expedition WASHINGTON (INS) — Sen. Karl E. Mundt (R-S. D.) said today that congressional investigators should leave Alger Hiss alone unless they are convinced he can offer new clues about Communism activities. Mundt, who played a major role in Hiss' conviction far perjury, flatly rejected any plan to use the former state department official for "a general fishing expedition.” He said, however, that Hiss should be allowed "for the sake of himself and his family” to appear before a Capitol Hill committee and make public any new information that he might have. There have been reports that the house committee on un-American activities—and possibly the senate internal security subcommittee — intend to summon Hiss as a witness. Mundt emphasized that any committee desiring to put Hiss on the stand should have specific questions to ask and should be certain that he can supply the answers. He pointed out that a legal ban on "double jeopardy” would bar action on the points which led to Hiss’ conviction. Mundt was acting chairman of the house committee on un-Ameri-can activities in 1948 when Hiss denied that he had given government secrets to Communist agents. He made his comments as Hiss i was being released from the federal penitentiary at Lewisburg, Pa., where be has served three years and eight months of a fiveyear term ora perjury STATE MAY END (Continued from Page One) by anything but human blood, and on two occasions hinted that the Sheppard dog, Koko, might have left the blood marks. Under seemingly relentless questioning by Corrigan, Dombrowski described how blood is detected with "luminol,” then cheeked more .positively with "benzidine.” He admitted, however, that the benzidine test is not foolproof and that other substance* — vegetables, fruits and some chemicals — would react in the same manner as blood. Miss Cowan, a 15-year veteran at the coroner's office, was expected to elaborate on Dombrowski's testimony. She no doubt will be quizzed extensively_on the only one of more than 50 alleged blood Bpecks...wlth Dombrowski has fjdentifieH as'“human" blood. Corrigan disputed this point at length Friday, claiming that the i stain, taken from a basement step, i was walked over many, times before it was examined, and forcing I Dombrowski to say that it may have contained “other organic materials" which might possibly react in the same manner as human I blood.
