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.
Misses Nobuko and Chleko Masuda,
granddaughters of Japan’s richest
I baron, are touring the United States
studying social service methods.
