GREAT PROGRESS IN CURE AND CONTROL OF HEART DISEASE

Not so long ago it was thought that once an individual was known to have heart. disease he was doom- ed. Thus the heart patient lived a life oi fear and gave up all active pursuits. A patient with a leaking valve of the heart was among those slated for an early death Heart dis- ease was incurable.

During the campaign for funds in February by the American Heart Association, some reasurring in- formation was published by Dr. Louis N. Katz, president of the association. In writing of the Heart Campaign, Dr. Kalz stated, "This is not a campaign for the care 0! incurables but axcampaigii to salv- age human beings for whom there is hope. This is not a. program of complete patient care but one aim- ing fundamentally to find nut how better to recognize, mm and pre- vent a group of diseases by new dis- coveries, by the spreading oi know- ledge to all, and by-leadership in neglected areas of community ser- vice."

Chronic disease is our most com- mon form of illness. Diseases of the heart and blood vessels are the most important of the chronic cis- eascs, because so many are atl'cct.:d and because so much can be done to improve their condition. Not all of the millions of persons with heart and blood vessel disease are bedridden. Many are up and :1- bout, doing almost all their daily work and able to enjoy life.

In that formely fatal disease bac- terial c-ndocarditis (inflammation of the lining of the heart due to certain organismsi. practically evcry Case is saved and the patient cur- ed or the condition arrested by the use of penicillin and the sulpha

drugs. As it is high blood pressure that causes heart stroke tcoronary

thrombosis), surgery is able to re- duce pressure by cutting the ner- ves that tighten and tense the blood vessels. Surgery is also us- ed in heart disease present at birth so that the lives of "blue babies" can be saved. Very few blue babies reached their teens heretofore.

Less dramatic, but equally success- ful. is the physician's treatment of heart and blood vessels diseases. "Failure of the heart can now be vigorously corrected in many cases by rest, diet. by cutting down on table salt and salty-foods, by use of certain vitamins and by drugs.

We remember now that is passing tragedy struck at the hearts of these children today. Voices bearlngyus the news were hushetl. faces momentarily sad. Four little nestlings of wrens gave no sign of welcome when they looked upon them in the nest discovered recently on a low bnugh of spruce on the lawn. And "Whatever happened?" to make this one of Mother Nature's de- signs "gang a-gley" is a mystery in the family. James is of the opinion "That white cat is at the back of it!" But who can ever link a fell deed with one be- loved?

On her at-rlvel, Granddaughter was immediately taken to - view the remains, her regrets lessened considerably by the fact that a notable event is expected in the near future-perhaps happened be- fore this, nt Aldcrlea. "My Grand- father said he wouldn't be one bit surprised if they should come to- day." she related to her interested audience seriously. Then a smile glowed. "How many". she turned to Gage her preferred comrade. "do you suppose there will be?"

The farmers agreed today with signs of impatience they "never saw such a June as this-with so much dampness to delay the crop- ping!" And because "Misery likes company". a current query of James to any visiting farmer is. "And have you finished all your sowing?" To his discomfiture.

It is Iris Time ags.in...that plea- eant season of the yearwhen we hurry out to the garden the first thing in the morning to witness the unfur-ling of is new iris for the first time or to revel in the beauty of an earlier acquaintance. Iris glittering with morning dew cer-

tainly present an entrancing sight. . In this garden there are only a y

few varieties of prize-winning Iris

and every year plans are made to IV

add more to make a real Iris gar- den but so far they have not met- erialized.

They are one of the best peren- nials that we have, hardy and free from pests and in a few years they multiply so fast that they can be divided and soon a large collection gathered together.

Genuine progress and lasting im- provements have been made in the new varieties. Starting new colors and combinations of colors, hereto- fore unknown in any other Iris. are to be found in the new Bearded Iris. Of incredible loveliness, they rival the wings of the most beauti- ful butterfly. There are richer blues, purer red, better pinks, finer and larger yellows, while other shades are remindiul of smooth old ivory or fine porcelain. Theli colors are so delicate and ethereal as to remind one of their true kin- ship with Orchids. In addition to their great heauly, many have the added attraction of being delight- fully fragrant.

The Lupinee are making a good showing now and they are lovely spikes, symmetrical in a rich varie- ty of bright colors-self and bica- lors. red and creamy orange and many others that are new to this flower. They grow tall, some are four feet with closely set pea-shap- ed flowers. They are stately. color- ful and beautiful perennials that are very easily grown from seed.

"Nature gives to every time and season some beauty of its own: and from morning to night, as from the cradle to the grave, is but a succession of changes so gentle and easy that we can scarce- ly mark their progress."

Charles Dickens.

Romans Made June Month For Weddings

WASHINGTON, D. C. - The ra- diant June bride, leaving the church with the man of her choice. is probably unaware of the part ancient Roman superstition played in her wedding date. .

June is the most popular month for weddings in North America largely because the Romans con- sidered it the most propitious sea- son - especially around the ttm:-. of the June full moon.

Rome considered May bad for marriage, the National Geographic Society observes, but the prejudice against that month has been over- come in Christian countries. In fact, May is considered the ideal marriage period in some European nations.

Shoes Always Needed

The Christian church helped inv selection of May or June for mer- riage by frowning on weddings dur. ing Lent or other periods of fast- ing or penitence.
