310! AND ONE!!! DIETS T0 IEDUCE. HIGH BDOOD PRESSURE

High blood pressure is often as- sociated with coronary thrombosis (heart stroke) and with apoplexy (brain stroke). While no known drug will reduce organic high blood pressure permanently, once the el- astic tissue in the blood vessels has been replaced by hard or fibrous tissue. high blood pressure brought on by the catotions can be reduced to, or almost to, normal by rest. quietness. diet and some- times by drugs.

We hear a great deal about the rice diet in the treatment of high blood pressure. It is a. known fact that high blood pressure is less common among peoples who use rice as we use bread, potatoes, and other starch fqods.

In the New England Journal. Dr. c. R. Williamson states that among 67 high blood pressure patients who had been referred to Williamson's hospital because they had diastolic pres- sures (when armband is loose) above 100 (less than 100 is consid- ered within normal limits). eight had diastolic pressures of less than 100 when first seen by him. Fif- teen others had variable pressures which were frequently below 100. and 14 patients showed a gradual lowering of pressure to less than 100 during the three weeks con- trol or observation time before the rice diet was given. Thus 37 of the 67 atients improved during the con rol period. Had they been given the rice diet immediately on arrival at hospital. these 37 cases

would have been recorded as suc--

cessful results with the rice diet.

Of the remaining 30 patients whose blood pressure remained high after the control period of three weeks. 10 were not placed on the rice diet because of unwil- lingness to follow the diet. or be- cause of severe complications.

What about the remaining 20 patients? Eleven of the 20 followed the rice diet for six or more weeks. Four of these had a significant decrease in diastolic pressure. The addition of a. diet of protein and fat, free from salt, did not cause any change in blood pressure. The giving of table salt without the knowledge of the patients was fol- lowed by a rise in systolic pressure (with armband tight) of more than 20 points in one of the four cases and a rise also in two others.

What do we learn from the above results? We learn that cut- ting down on table salt is the big factor in the rice (or other div' in reducing blood pressure.

'Perhups if it had ruined there wouldn't have been so many people."

"I don't know. Patty has heaps of friends. so has Drew, for that matter. I guess they'd have come to the wedding, anyway."

"I guess they would-Richard has an awful crush on Ameiins, hasn't he?"

"Yes, and-" Gail did not say it,

but that was only because he caught himself in the nick of time. He was thinking the same thing Stella was: And Raoul has an aw- ful crush on Clarinda. Several other guests at the wedding had said it. Stella had heard them laughing and joking about it. The plane was late, and Stella had to go on and on talking to Gail while she waited for it. But it came roaring in at last, and she climbed aboard. She managed, somehow, to undress, bending over so that she would not hit her head on the upper berth that was swung so low. She lay very still. thinking of Drew and Patty and of the cunning penthouse and the perfect maid and the good parts at the Metropolitan to which she was going back all alone. . . .

CHAPTER XXXIII

It had been Pattys hope. from the beginning, that she and Drew might remain at Splendida until after Christmas. This should be feasible, she thought, if they went together to New Orleans regularly in the middle of the week, leaving the plantation early in the morn- ing, spending one night with his mother, and returning to the plan- tation late the following evening. On Mondays and Fridays he could motor down and back the same day.

Drew soon discovered that, dur- ing his absence in town Patty ap- parently found time to occupy her- self with some practical details. She asked him one night what he would think of closing all the rooms on the north side of the house and of installing oil burners in the upper and lower halls to supplement the heat from the fireplaces. The heaters would not be unduly expensive. Drew check- ed his impulse to tell her that it was foolish to sink any sum in a house which probably could never be used another year. If she want- ed the heaters, she ought to have them. He told her to Z0 311834 with the purchase and watched the process of installation with more admiration and less amuse- ment thau he had supposed he would feel. When it was completed she began to ask other questions and make other suggestions about the house.

"If you feel so sure it's only a matter of time before it's going into the river, why don't you move it? You've moved two houses for other people and everyone's saying you've made a huge success of it." "The houses I moved had strong structures, Patty. Splendids wasn't built that way. The walls are hon- eycombed with decay. The other houses I've moved have been small, comparatively speaking. This one's enormous."

"You wouldn't be moving it as far as you did the others, so that part wouldn't cost so much. You'd just be moving it beyond reach of the river. Couldn't you take the materials that are still sound and build a small house? We could save all its most beautiful features-the portico and the pillars and the piazza and" the doorway and the

"That's not an unsound idea of yours," Drew said, looking at her in amazement. "If these were only normal times-"

"But don't you think, Drew.thra just because they're not, we ougnt to try to plan so that we can help to bring them back to normal. later on? The country's going to ineed those crops some day, isn't t?"

"Patty, how can I run a plant- ation in Louisiana if I'm some- where over on the other side of the world?"

"If you are, I can run it until you come back. I don't know how. but I can learn."

"We'll talk about these plans of yours, Patty." Drew said gently. "But not now. Come out in the arbor with me."

She did not argue with him, but he discovered before long that, lit- tle by little. she was exploring the plantation in the some quiet, un- hurried way that she had explored the house and that, in the course of her rambles. she was familiar- izing herseif with its usages and its needs and learning some of the myriad details involved in managing crops and stock. she also spent a certain amount of time in correspondence. She took an almost childlike pleasure in re- ceiving letters and the more un- usual pleasure in writing them. One of the latter caused him some slight qualm. but in the end he decided not to suggest any changes in it, and it was dispatched in its original form.

For the occasion, a high- light of our spring-time, the aid- ers had attended to the decora- tions, each bush being hung with enchanting curls.

We stopped a moment to enjoy it, to compare this with former opening days of memory. to find an unmatched earliness in this one - no trace! of show along the greening fields nor on the roads along whichuithout any tedious spring-breaking in advance, traf- no now moved. Then unwinding the fishing cord with decorum. baiting the hook without any Mag- gie 'mlllver-ish qualms, we cast out among the fetching dark rip- ples to open the season. And wait- ed. Presently James, we like to fancy, somewhat lonely in our ab- sence. hailed us from the yard: ”I-laving any luck, Ellen? It's pret- ty deep there . . . play out more line!" And now a nibble.

THE indications are for a de- termined and confident attack on current conditions, with every promise of enduring gain and the attainment of major desires and ambitions. Important decisions must be made on a sound and long-range policy and not on emo- tional instability of an over- plnyed hand in finances or in- vestments. Lavish or prodigal use of funds may jeopardize solid in- tcresls.

If It Is Your Birthday

Those whose birthday it is, have excellent auspices for the fulfill- ment of their fondest hopes and wishes, with major interests ad- vanced by a program of shrewd, intensive. and concentrated efforts, not neutralized by emotional in- stability, overzealous attack or fin- ancial stresses. For long-range and lasting benefits weigh basic ele- ments and under-lying principles,

not over-expansive ambitions or aspirations. A child born on this day has

splendid promise of a pleasant and solid state of affairs, with wor- thy ambitions advanced by indus- try and enduring techniques.

DIX A Philandering Wife.

Middle-Aged Women Who Loves Boy Looks Foolish. Courts Tragedy

DEAR MISS DIX: We have been married more than fifteen years and up to two years ago lived a happy, companionable life. My wife worked, holding a very good position. She is 41 years old and has fallen in love with a young man in his early twenties whom she " " ' partially or wholly supports, as he is often out of work. He drinks and gambles. His charm seems to be that he is free with compliments and lint- tery and takes her around to places of amuse. ment, where she pays the bill. I asked this buy, if I gave my wife a divorce, if he would marry her, but he refused to answer. My wife repeal- edly tells me to get out, but inasmuch as I have done nothing to disrupt our home I feel that ll: , is not my place to go. I still love her and am -'9 willing to fogget the past and start anew, but this is not what she seems to want. What shall I do? BROKEN-I-IEARTED HUSBAND
