Hardened Arteries
Normal arteries are soft,
clastic and responsive to every
impulse whether of food,
drink, emotion or toxin, ft is
■amazing, when we think of
these wonderful channels,
which vary in diameter from
perhaps one inch down to a
caliber smaller than a hair,
working every second that we
live, night and day, and qn
which our very lives depend.
It is no less than disaster
when arteries become, harden-
ed from aay causa, though few
people who live long escape
some degree of “arterio-
-sclerosis.” It is somewhat nat-
ural in the aged.
1 saw a man of most ex-
emplary habits all his life,
achieve his octogenerian de-
gree and pass it. whose arteries
-seemed as hard as sticks. He
didn’t die of hardened arteries.
He drank no alcoholics, used
no tobacco, had absolutely no
dissipations. He was unmar-
ried. He never weighed over
130, and actually worked at
quarrying building stone at 75
i\nd even older.
Alcohol and tobacco are
credited with causing harden-
ed arteries. Your family doctor
is the only man withir. your
-reach, who can tell you accu-
rately of your condition and
guide yon safely. Here I want
to say: Every adult man and
woman should go to the doctor
for a thorough looking over, at
least twice a year. Have it
-done most particularly. You
might as well not go at all if
the visit gets only a handshake
and a smiling assurance from
the physician that you are "all
right and fit as a fiddle.”
If yon wait until many
arteries are hardened, it is very
doubtful if you can exoect re-
lief approaching cure. The way
to deal with a condition that is
essentially chronic is to nip it
in the bud if possible. I feei
, that this letter is worth while.

Wanted to See tha

Archer City.—Z. T. Burkett,
dairyman living near Archer
City, states that he is glad he
terraced 30 acres of land last
fall. The land was seeded to
oats for grazing purposes' only.
A freeze in February killed all
the oats. Be replanted the
land in spring oats and his
dairy cows have fed off the
pasture since the oats were big
enough for pasturing. Burkett
says that it looks like he is go-
ing to be forced to cut the’ oats
the cows have been unable to
eat, according to a report of
the Archer coanty agricultural
agent.

‘ John S. Grippe, of London
and Gloucester, England, re-
spectively, wanted to see some
jack rabbits when they visited
here recently.
“We’ve heard of the rabbits
here which have ears two feet
long,” they said.
O. T. Williams, who showed
the visitors over a- wind ero-
sion control project, pointed
out a big jack and told them it
was a “mere infant.”
It was several days before
the Engiishment caught the
joke.
