For the Birthday Those whose birthday it is are urged to put in some time for elaborating plans and objectives for a particularly lively, construc- tive and enduring program for a progressive and fruitful year. While energies. forces and initia- tive are highly stimulated. the in- ner leads. "hunches" and drives are trustworthy also. Intuitlons are de- pcndable for practical matters. but be discreet in social, romantic or other contacts where feelings may be easily hurt. "Temperament" should be regulated.

IIIGH BLPOD PBIIIUBI brain strokes (apoplexy), and reducing high blood It It is true that there are -' which will reduce high blood pres- sure temporarily but there is no drug that will reduce high blood pressure permanently. By reducing the amount of sod- ium (table salt and others) in the diet. less water will be held in the blood vessels and less pressure needed to press blood along through the blood vessels. By reducing the amount of fat eaten, there will not be as much cholesterol in the blood. which substance is believed to be the cause or obstruction in the blood vessels making it necessary for blood to be under higher pres- sure to push its way through the blood vessels. Another method of keeping blood pressure lowered is by the use of quieting drugs which keep the patient calm amid emotional dis- turbances, when cutting down on salt and fluids and using 'quieting drugs falls to lower dangerously high blood pressure. surgery is now a last resort.

The Clinical Problems of Advanc- ing Years. states that the primary objective or the surgical treatment of hypertensive cardiovascular dis- ease (heart and blood vessels) was to determine whether the prog- nosis or outlook for these patients could be significantly improved. "High blood pressure is respon- sible for prematureydisabllity and for a great many deaths each year among young and middle-aged in- dividuals. There ls'no more im- portant problem-, including cancer, before the medical profession to- day." During the past" twelve years. 3,000 patients have been studied from the standpoint of surgical treatment of high blood pressure. About 2,000 have. been operated upon and 1.000 ueated medically. Ninety per cent. of the patients were under 50 ye s of age and so per cent betweemzo and 49.

An ANSWER: A girl who marries a widower and tries to mother his orphaned children has a dif- ficult job, but the stepmother of youngsters whose own mother is still very much around is con- fronted wlth an almost impossible task. A woman I who has failed in her job of wife and mother is very reluctant to see another woman step intoi her shoes and try to make a success of the job. Even though she no longer wants her husband or children, wife No. 1 will do everything in her power to disrupt the new household her tablish.
