DANGER SIGNALS Since my last letter to this paper, I have seen the announcements of at least five deaths—the victims ranging in age from 51 to 66 years, all of them business men. The cause of death in each report was given as “heart dis ease.” What has brought about this state of affairs? What may take place in the next decade, among our business men if this goes on? The question is deserving of our most pro found study. From an experience of almost thir ty-five years, I am led to believe that the heart is one of the most durable, lasting organs of the human body; it is capable of enduring more punish ment — and, undoubtedly gets it. Wh|re? Not from intense physical effort; hearts fail in, the swivel-chair, —at the steering-wheel of the car. 1 Pugilists never drop dead from heart disease—at least I never heard of one doing so; heart disease is rare among the laboring class. The greatest enemy of the heart is the overloaded stomach—the stagnant blood-stream—the rotten artery. Keep away from these and you will have escaped nine-tenths of the horrors of death from “heart disease.” It can only be done by moderate indulgence in food of the plainest variety—and, drinking plenty of pure water; com mercialized drinks, let them be water or what-not, should be thoroughly in vestigated as to their fitness for hu man 1 consumption. “The old oaken bucket that hangs in the well” sup plies about the safest beverage known. Tobacco is a genuine poison,—but don’t be horrified when I say Frank furters and kraut may kill a man quicker if over-indulged. I am loth to call the faithful Irish potato a si lent assassin, but am tempted to do so sometimes. Miss Annette Ashberry owns a foundry at Brixton, Eng., which is manned entirely by women workers.
