TAKE NOTE OF HEART BEATS j qui
Wlwn That Organ Says "Luff-Duff" It jjna
Is Full Time to Take a
Vacation.
Do you know what a doctor hears ; ^
when he sounds your chest and listens _ue|
to your heart beating? c'lai
Your heart, if It Is quite sound Ara(
makes a noise very like "lub-dup, lnb- dlin,
dap, lub-dup" all the time. Pearson's ej
Weekly says. The two sylylables come (.h)]
very quickly together and between 1 yea|
aa n V\ "luK Ihnrn nnmno d n q nun
- ?, , wor
the short period when the heart Is trU(
resting. as it were. | tjm<
The "lub" sound is due to the blood w
flowing out of the heart and the "dup" ^
Is the closing of the heart's valves. q
Just by the loudness of tbeHe two sylla- ord
blea the doctor knows if your heart is .
working as it should be. , t
Supposing the "dup" is very loud, j . ..
for Instance; that tells hiin that the ., ' '
leri
valves are being "slammed to." just ^
as a door is, and that the pressure Is
greater than It should be. The cause ^
of this Is generally what Is Known as
r .. ; may
an aneurism. I . *
If the valves are not closing prop- ^
erly the doctor hears a sound like *v?1
"dufT" Instead of "dup." The heart is e
then said to have a "murmur," and ?
the physician knows what steps to
take to correct it. * y
When the first sound, "lub," is soft- ??
ened into "luff" It warns the doctor * e
that his patient has something wrong na *
with the mitral valve. The "lub" sound
Is always very much weaker when n
one 1b suffering from fever, and It is
this weakness, due to the weakness of HA1
the heart muscles, which makes the
doctor so anxious at those times.
When the heart says "luff-duff" ho i ^

The nnlon Jack, the national ban- the
ner of the United Kingdom of Great bacl
Rrltaln and Ireland. Is formed out of T
the combination of the crosses of St. mar
George, of St. Andrew and of St. Pat- han
ric k, these three crosses being the na- gra<
tional banner of Flngland, Scotland A
and Ireland, respectively. The first bra
union Jack, which was introduced by the
royal proclamation In 1606. three years wen
after the union with Scotland, bore A
only the crosses of two countries, lng'
r.ngiana ana Scotland This combination
was proclaimed tn 1707 as the national
flag of Great Britain. On the ?
union with Ireland, the cross of St.
1'atrlck, with Its four limbs, edged n
with white on one side, was added.

8leep la First Necessity. hlbl
A very frequent cause of nervous- cf
noes In many persons Is loss of sleep. piai
It gives rise to headaches and neural- H t
gla. and is mainly responsible for foar
other distressing ailments. The man qUe
or woman whose sleep la unduly dts- c)oi
turbed as the result of heavy mental like
work, by night watching at Che bed- hon
side of the sick or through Irregular trei
hours of employment, should endeavor hea
to secure a little refreshing sleep
whenever possible In order to make
up for the loss sustained. For not
only will headaches and other ailments
develop from eleeplesaness, but wlf
the nervous system will soon become r'" 1
considerably deranged as a conse ,,u('
nonce. So be careful upon this point. | '

hat although these feats are actually

and by a code of signals, which

It is suggested that this sysem
