Today health discussions most frequently concern blood preuure, because high blood pressure is the most frequent cause of heart strokes (coronary thrombosis) and

of brain strokes tapoplexy.) Because blood pressure is of such great interest. physicians

now have to wam patients that the blood pressure may 10 up many points if they are emotion- ally disturbed and so purposely do not measure the blood pressure every time the patient consults them. Blood pressure should. if possible. be taken early in the day before the patient gets worked up emotionally from the problems of the day. and should not be taken after a big meal.

For many years it has been cus- tcmary for insurance and health organizations to publish blood pressure tables showing what the normal blood pressure should be at the various ages. According .to the Journal of the American Medi- cal association, howeuer. these published tables put normal blood pressures too low and so upset the minds of many men and women. The Journal states that these standards of normul blood pres- sure must be corrected. as 140 to 160 systolic (with arm cuff light- cner) and 90 to 100 diastolic (with no pressure in the arm cuff) are really below the avers-zc. A study of 17.706 persons between the ages of id to 65 showed that per- sons up to the age of 40 can have normal pressures well above 140 systolic and 90 to 1-00 diastolic. In fact. these pressures are seen more often than those we now cal normal pressures.

"In patients older than 55 years. systolic pressures of 180 and 190 with diastolic pressures of 10'.) to 110 may merely indicate the aging process nncl should not cause alarm." the article Males.

This information, gained by in- vestigating the blood pressure of thousands of normal individuals. should be reassuring.

Scrub Hairline with Brush

Those stubborn make-up traces that cake your halrllne between shampoos are best dealt with at hair-washing time by a tltorouzh scruubbing with a sudsy brush. Before you actually douse your head, take a few moments to loose this clinging grime. Begin by working a small amounut of sham- poo into a foamy lather. A soap- less powder shampoo is a good type to use.

Dip your brush Into the suds, coating the bristles well. Then tackle your hairline, giving par- ticular attention to the area in front of your ears.

A nail brush is excellent for this as well as for general scalp scrub- bing. selcct one with a handle for good gripping and actually put muscle-force behind your brushing. A good choice for this task is a plastic-backed nail brush offered by a. well-known brush firm. Tufted on both sides. the brush provides one set of bristles for toning the scalp and another to work simul- taneously through your hair. After your hairline is clean. wet and lather your whole head. 00 over your entire scalp until you can feel it tingle.

lvangling Arms ' Spoil Walk

Arms rank high among the troublesome parts of our anainmy. Experts at assuming ungainly pa- sitions, they really excel at awk- v.-ardnesa when mcst women are walking. .

Next time you take a stroll, note the position of your arms. If you're dawdllng. chances are they're dangling-limp and heavy-handed .. at your sides. If you're hurry- ing. they're likely to be chopping the air in a frantic and useless attempt to propel you along.

In order to look well hung to- gether on the street. regard your arms with your conscious mind. Plan what they are to do, rather than leave them to their own de- vices.

A purse is a great help for most women in occuupying an arm. If it's an envelope bag. tuck it neut- ly beneath one arm. making sure your elbow doesn't protrude at a sharp angle from your side.

Neither shoulder-strep purses nor bags with short handles should be allowed to dangle from your hand as you walk. The effect is likely to be either childish or careless.
