it's Exceptions That Prove Rule

CAPE TOWN-(CP)-South Al.- ricans are marrying later in life. But there's always the exception that proves the rule.

EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS OF HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

when a patient consults his phy- sician and one of the early findings during examination and question- ing points to disease of a certain organ yet careful investigation by laboratory methods and x-rays shows no organic disease present, most of us may think that this should be enough to reassure the patient. However. he still has his symptoms which do not disappear entirely despite his physician's :e- assurance.

Today, as never before, men and women are interested in their blood pressure. knowing that high blood pressure is often a forerun- ner of heart strokes (coronary thrombosis) and brain strokes (apoplexy).

She Marie Fortune Washing clothes - In '98 Gold Rush

VICTORIA. B. C.-(OP)-Mrs, Josephine Oeaaidy. an energetic woman of M. recalls that she made a fortune in the Yukon gold rush days by taking in washing. In 1891 she was a dark-haired beauty with flashing eyes and is strong arm. It had to be strong because she did so much washing. She earned from 850 to 3150 a day. '

"I used to mush my dog team eight or 10 miles up the trail from Dawson to the R.C.M.P.' station. Oh. those trousers with the yel- low stripe! Washed so many of them I can't count.

"Never see those yellow striped pants that f don't want to rush up and shake the hand of the man who owns them."

Mrs. Csssidy first achievedfeme when she won a race with her dog team. "Col. Steele of the Mount- ies-the bank manager-everyone bet on me," she said.

"The race was eight miles over unbroken trail and I won 32,000." She and her husband had bought equipment to join the gold rush, A series of misfortunes dogged them. culminating in the loss of all the expensive equip- nlent.

One day someone asked her if she could wash. "And that is how I started my business." she said. "I did very well. for when I left the Yukon I came out with a stake of :l00.000."

At her home here Mrs. Cassidv observes an oldgunwritten law of the Yukon by keeping her table set at all times.

Ten Tips

The Tea. Bureau has come up with a few highlights in the life of a tea-taster. -Did you know that an expert identify betntecn 1.500 and 1.600 different teas, tell- ing where the particular tea was grown, what variety it is. at what season of the year it 'was picked. how it was processed? He also can tell you how much it should cost and how it should be blended,

Finally. no tea-taster swallows any of the tea he tastes. If he did it might affect his sense of taste as he may sample as many as 500 teas in one day.
