YOUR. BLOOD PRESSURE AND YOUR. ABTEBIES

There is no group that knows more about illness and health. life and death, than our insurance medical examiners. The longer they can keep policyholders alive and well, the longer will these policyholders continue to pay their annual prcmlums. This is the rea- son that insurance companies of- fer a free medical or physical ex- amination at stated periods and why so many policy holders take advantage of these examinations, which help to keep them in good health and postpone serious ill- ness and perhaps death.

The commonest health subject discussed today is blood pressure because there are so many cases of heart stroke (coronary throm- bosis), foe to high blood pressure and hardening of the weak-walled blood vessels. -

The latest contribution to our health and happiness in recent years from these life insurance examiners is thoir finding and Pill- nouncement that their own figures as to the normal blood pressure have been too low. The middle- oged manls normal blood pressure. they say. should be placed at 160 instead of the present 140. Thus. an individual with blood pressure of 160, who has been living almost the life of a heart invalid, can now relax.

The president of the American Heart Association. Dr. Howard B. sprague. in a hooklot published by the Public Affairs Committee en- titled "Your Blood Pressure and Your Arteries". states, "The ten- sions of our times will take their toll of our leaders unless the peo- ple under pressure take certain precautions. The pressure is on again. Business. government, and industry are marshalllng strength to build the country's defenses. The age bracket from 32 on rough- ly corresponds to the ages when high blood pressure develops."

These precautions do not in- clude sitting down and doing nothing. Dr. sprague points out that most people with high blood pressure can do more for them- selves than can be accomplished by drugs or surgical cutting of nerves to reduce pressure. First. face your worries. as we all have them, and if you don't know the answer, talk to your doctor.

some of the few short rules are: ('1) Walk. never run: upstairs. (2) Quit anything before you get over- tired. (3) Relax or nap twice a G3! (4) Eat four or five light meals instead of three heavier meals. (5) Go easy on coffee and tobacco. (61 If possible. quit work early and exercise outdoors for an hour. (7) Go to bed well before midnight. (8) Keep your weight normal, (9) Argue and worry as little as pos- sible.

No Marriage In Sight

Girl Anticipating Spinsferhood Should Concentrate On Career

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I'have a daughter 25 years of age about whom I am much concerned. She is intelligent, good-natured and well-mannered. But she is not pretty and seems to have no attraction for men and will probably never marry, yet if ever a girl was cut - ' out for a home and all that goes with it she is. She has never had a boy friend or a date and I am afraid she never will. She has a very nice position now and in all probability will keep that for an indefinite period, but after that what? MRS. B.

ANSWER: There are thousands upon thou- sands of girls like your daughter. Mrs. B., who must. face the fact. that in all human probability - - -... they will never marry. They have every quality that fit them to be splendid wives and mothers and homemzikers, but for some reason they lack that intangible something that attracts men to women and their predestined fate is to go through life alone.

HAS SAME CHANCE AS 80!!

In the past such a lot was almost worse than death. But that is all changed now, thank heaven. Every girl now has just the some chance of achieving a happy. free, independent life as a boy has. and her wellbeing no more depends upon her getting married than his does upon him marrying. In both cases marriage is a highly rlesirnble state. provided they get the right mates. but it is purgatory if they don 1. So there you are. and there is no reason to feel that your daughter will have missed everything it she doesn't get a husband. '1h0I'0 are ii lot of good things in the world besides wedding rings. The thing for the girl who is unattractive to mcn to do is first to nvil-ize thntishe will never marry and put all thought of R Prince Charming coming her way out of her mind. She must face the cer- tainly that she must stand on her own feet and provide for herself and safeguard her future.

She must decide what she wants to do and put her back and her heart into it and learn how to do the sort of work that commands a high plbrico. She must learn how to save her money and how to in. Iizstsoit so that when the day comes when she wants to retire she can There is no sex in work. It is the work that counts. Any in- telligent. nble-bodied young woman has just as good a chance to succeed as a boy has, and there is no reason why her mother should be worried about her than she is about her son.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: My husband works for his Dad for a very small salary Clll"l'l week. VVe can barely pay our bills on what he gets. and never have a chance toisave at all. Now we are going to have a baby. His mother and father insist we can manage on what we get and we know we can't. My husband can get. a better paying job, but he hates to hurt his mother and father by leaving them. What do you suggest?

T M. R. ANSH-'ER: Parents can be funny. sometimes. They expect their children to work for them at 21 salary no stranger would even look at. If there is any future in the business. it would be worth sticking it out, but if your husband's present. salary is stationary and you have no future prospects. another job with better pay is your only solution.

DEAR MISS DIX: I am 16 years old and am going with a boy who is in love with me. I'm not in love with him but. I feel sorry for him and don't. want to hurt him. Should I marry, him 0I'v;i0t7 I . ANSWER: I hope you're in your right mind. but it doesn't sound like it to me. In the first place. marrying at your age is ridiculous, and in the second place marrying someone you donlt love at any age is the shortest cut to unhappiness I know of. Your reluctance to hurt someones feelings is admirable. but you'd hurt this boy much more if you married him without loving him. Just tell him frankly how you feel about him. and that you intend to wait a few years be- fore getting married. anyway. Bide your time, Ivy. until love really comes along; then you'll be awfully glad you waited.
