the patient.
The actress took his right
hand and kissed it.
Then moved on to the next
patient.
“I killed hundreds of ’em,”
he said.
“And which hand did you kill

HEART DISEASE
Austin, Jan. 2.—What do you
know about your heart? Do
you know that the three major
kinds of heart disease are:
Rheumatic heart disease, high
blood pressure, and coronary
heart disease?
One of childhood’s most dan-
gerous foes is rheumatic fever,
declare Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State
Health Officer. A child is most
likely to develop rheumatic fev-
er when he is less than 10 years
of age. However, the disease is
not confined to children. “In
World War II, about 40^000 men
in the American forces develop-
ed attacks of rheumatic fever.”
This disease may damage the
heart valves and muscle. Any
child who has rheumatic fever
should have the best of medical
care, plenty of rest, a special
diet, and be free from anxiety
or worry. Just because a per-
son has rheumatic fever, is no
sign he will have rheumatic
heart trouble. But it’s import-
ant to keep in close check with
the family physician.
Coronary heart disease strikes
those from middle age group
and up, more than other forms
of heart trouble. And, it strikes
men more often than women,
Moderation in daily living is
very important, for if a person
worries too much, works too
hard, exercises too frequently
and hard, and eats too much his
heart is overworked. Yes, one
of the best checks against over-
burdening the heart ... is mod-
eration in all things—and plenty
of rest.
High blood pressure is an-
other important cause of death.
Naturally, the heart has to work
harder to pump the blood, when
blood pressure is high. An ov-
er-wofked heart needs the care
of a physician.
Sometimes symptoms of heart
trouble aren’t so noticeable; that
is why a regular physical exam-
ination is so important.
Heart disease caused by sy-
philis, congenital heart disease,
and heart trouble resulting from
an over-active thyroid gland, are
a few other forms of heart di-
sease.
Stop and think about it for a
moment. Do you give your heart
enough rest?

Mrs. Elmer Watts, who is con-
fined to thd Peterson Memorial
Hospital in Kerrville for treat-
ment, is being missed by her
many friends who wish her a
speedy recovery.
LIMIT OF HER ENDURANCE
Wife (to husband who had a
few drinks too many): “No, I
can’t forgive you, Archibald.
This is the end. If this were
the first time it would be dif-
ferent, but you came home in
the same condition in Novem-
ber, 1918.”
LOSS WAS EXPECTED SOON
Smitty: “Sorry, old man, to
hear about your wife running
away with that butler.”
Jonesy: “Oh, that’s all right.
I was going to fire him any-
way.”
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Davis
spent Sunday with Travis Mc-
Cowan in San Antonio.
Junior: “Daddy, what’s a
sweater girl?”
Daddy: “A girl who works in
a factory making sweaters.” (A
slight pause.) “Say, where’d
you get that question?”
Junior: “Never mind that,
Daddy; where’d you get that an-
swer?”
THIS DOES IT!
The bartender waited for the
two drunks at the bar to give
their order, then looked down at
their pal who had fallen in the
middle of the floor and make no
effort to rise. “What’ll he
have?” he asked.
“Nothing, Bub,” answered
one of them, “he’s driving.”
Mrs. Charles Hogue and chil-
dren are leaving this week to
join Mr. Hogue at his station in
Fort Sill, Okla.
