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no known drug will reduce organic high blood pressure permanently, once the el- astic tissue in the blood vessels has been replaced by hard or fibrous tissue.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 ...n I 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. mun muons 1? oolsnmrnz 9 Get relief from constipation-lndh geution.

Because if the guests hadn't been able to go out on to the back gallery. I don't know where we'd have put them all, do you?" '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?

"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.

Two other lads were there. neighbors and comrades, of like years - a pair that angled with an earnestness and respect, worthy of their elders at the sport.

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.

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 nom am. ANSWER: When a middle-aged woman falls in love with a boy and makes a fool of herself over him there should be some sort of a padded cell in which she could be locked up until she regains her sanity. Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done to keep them from wrecking their lives and bridging shame and sorrow down upon their silly heads. You just simply have to let them so then- own way to destruction. Which is pretty hard on the husband if he happens to love the philandering wife and isn't so disgusted with iitr conduct that he is glad to be rid of bad rubbish. A BEVOLTING SIGHT An old man trailing around after a girl young enough to be his daughter is a sad enough spectacle. But a woman in love with a boy young enough to be her son is a sight st which the angels must weep -and gag. Of course. in the end she gets her punishment. Sooner or inter he gets tired of faking emotion he does not feel. of telling flnitr-ring lies that feed her vanity, and she finds out that he has some girl of his own age that he is spending her money upon. It is worse still if she marries him because the little flare of passion soon dies and then she is bored to tears with a boy with whom she has nothing in common, and weary to death of trying to keep up with him and keep him amused. It is always a misfortune for bo..i men and women to marry out of their age class, but it IS doubly disastrous to the woman who does so. DEAR MISS DIX: I am a girl of 16 and miserably unhappy. My problem is this: My mother is ordinarily a nice, understanding por- son, but when it comes to my wearirig make-up, she absolutely rofusvs to allow anything but a light lipstick. I am now going with :1 boy who cares a. great deal for me, and he likes me to wear puncnkc. we make-up, etc. Though I am quite sure he'll like me with or without make-up, I'd like to make him feel proud of me when we go cu; ANSWER: You are overdrsmatizing a very simple problem. Your mother realizes that nothing on earth is lovelier than a teen-age furl. and your beauty needs very little further adornment. The day when you'll need powder and paint to touch up fading features will come soon enough. so follow your mother's advice and proudly flaunt the glow of youth which needs no artificial touch. DEAR. DOROTHY DIX: I am a man 37 years of age, unhnppily married. I have two children. Occasionally I ask women friends in , y me to dinner and to the theatre. One of them who is single and 29 years old refuses to accept my invitations on the grouml that she has no right to let a married man spend his money on her. The relationship between us is simply friendship. Has she any legitimate basis for refusing to accompany me to a restaurant or to the theatre provided she desires to do so? JOF ANSWER: It isrft so much a matter of ethics as it is of PW prlaty. The young woman shows herself to be very level-headed when she declines to go out with you. As long as you are not divorced you are the property of your wife and another woman interferes 9""! her rights at her peril. The world invariably believes the worst of n girl who accepts the attentions of a married man. and no one can do so without being gosslped about.
