f-——-\ Heart Disease in the / Popular-Sense «■ j ■**. - (Published by authority of tho Commlt fWi of Publlo Affair* of tha Omaha Uoadao County Mtdlaal Socl.ty.) By DR. WILUAM N. ANDERSON. Thera often appear* on the part of tho layman a great fear to face the faeta about heart disease. Tet, if one were to use the same attitude In busi ness h* would soon find himself a fatlura. Conservation Is the first rule In tha ears of a damaged heart or a damaged business. When a business haa developed a leak it Is not neces sary that bankruptcy and failure re sult If but a llttla frugal management la resorted to. And even when such failure comes the experience encoun tered makes It possible for one to re habilitate himself If he tries. So It Is with disease of the heart. When you have been told you have such a condition, look upon It with calm Judgment and conserve that which 1* left. In normal people the heart never uses up all of Its en ergy In Its ceaseless beating. There Is always some left for emergency. Just as the good business man never uses up all of his credit but has some left for emergencies. Now when disease comes there Is less surplus left, but It Is still possible for one to live a normal life with restrictions. (Much restrictions naturally vary with the amount of damage received. This means particularly limitation In exer cise, but one must remember that men tal activity make* somewhat the same demand, but lees In extent. It Is not usually necessary for an In dividual to be wrapped In cotton and laid upon the shelf. There Is sbme thing he can do easily and wrell If he tries hard enough. f' Many Varieties. There are ae many aurerent Kinas of heart disease as there are stores In a city each differing from the other In lta quality of goods and size of stock. What Is common In one condi tion Is foreign In the other. Because John Smith suddenly drops dead with one kind of heart disease Is no reason why you should do the same with an other. Diseases of the heart fall Into four large classes each with many little variations as to the extent and com bination. Valvular Diseases. The valvular diseases are called commonly organic heart disease or leakage of the heart. The* begin as a complication of St. Vitus dance, scarlet fever, pneumonia and acute rheumatic fever. Only the acute rheumatic fever provokes thla condi tion, other forms of rheumatism never lead to lta production. It be gins Insidiously and may not be i j recognized during the course of these conditions. One should always be carefully ex amlned during the course and after convalescence In any of these disease to see that such a damage to the heart has not resulted. Should such a difficulty aria* during the course of these diseases then It calls for six weeks, at least, of absolute rest to allow the heart to adjust Itself to Its new requirement and to minimize the damage already dons. In the majority of eases, however, first Inkling of such a ltslon Is In an examination for Insurance or the now common Industrial examination. At this time the heart la found en larged. No fear should be felt upon thla score aa thla enlargement la a necessary form of accommodation for the added work to be done. Many ! years may, and usually do, pass be fore there Is any trouble with such hearts and then not till some exces sive exercise has overtaxed the heart muscle. Medicines are not necessary during thla stage. A normal life can be led In all respects except that there should be a limitation of those exercises that make shortness of breath. Stimulant* are not required | until failure takes place. Death does . not occur suddenly, f Degenerative Conditions. Degenerative conditions are many. They occur moat frequently above the age of 50. usually above 50 and rarely at 40 to 60, never below. In these lnatances there Is usually no previous trouble until following some undue exertion, or group of exertions, shortness of breath occurs. At this time It I* even possible by restriction of excessive exertions to live a/ nor mal Ilf* for a long period of time There are a few of these cases that do suddenly die, but by far the leaser ■ umber. There are many types of Irregularly tlee of the heart which occur at any age, some of which are important. The majority, however, have little significance and are usually due to Irritative toxines, such as tobacco and bowel absorption: To distinguish the Important from the unimportance re quires the study of a careful physician. Many Symptoms Nervousness. By far the greater symptoms refer able to the heart are entirely nervous and are manifestations of different emotion*. How often on* hears the expression "My heart Jumped Into my throat." No auch thing really happened, the sensation being that of fear. Palpitation means conscious ness of the heart beat end Is not a yslgn of heart disease. Very few of us go through a normal life without this sensation at aome time. Should children, therefore, have any of the disease* which tend to de velop valvular disease of the heart they should be examined after these condition* are over eo aa to discover It In Its first stages. If found they should be subsequently examined by a good physician to determine lta progress. When an Individual he* reached the 60 mark he should remember th»t he has reached the degenerative agp and physical exercises esnnot be so easily pcrforme.d aa originally. It Is his duty then to undergo a rigid ex nmlnatlon periodically Just as he makes out his yearly business In voices. It Is ofttlmes possible to find disease In Its lnctplency In this wsy and by conservation long Ilf* can be had. Finally, exercise has no plae* In 4he treatment or care of heart disease. ' MATCH TESTER ’ HAS NEAT JOB London, Deo. HI—Day after day. for 85 years, Tom Tuthlll has worked ) . In t London match factory, striking I mstches to test their quality.

J r Painters, Apprenticed Together 42 Years Ago, Finish Joint Work to Celebrate End of 20-Year Separation -- J. Trummer, left, and diaries T. Johnson, right, holdl ng the painting which they have completed Jointly as a symbol of their reunion after 20 years. i.tf.rann Minn fa The cottage of the late George A. Hoagland, who spent several months each year at Lake Jefferson, Minn., Is located to the left of the picture. Painters' eczema Is an Incurable disease. It makes one Itch to paint constantly, according to Charles T. Johnson, 57„ and J. Trummer, 60, whc have been afflicted for 42 years. In 1882 both Johnson and Trummer were among the applicants who an swered the advertisement of McGill & Rosenzwelg, painters and decor ators, 1517 Douglas street, for an ap prentice. Although but one boy wae wanted, both were put on the payroll finally at $2 per week. In their official ca pacity as cellar boys they worked all day cleaning paint pots with lye That wae the Inception of the malady. "Boys wouldn’t work for such a munificent sum nowadays,” declares Johnson, who Is now a bailiff In Judge James Fitzgerald's court. As the two boys advanced In their apprenticeships, Johnson specialized In paper hanging and painting, while Trummer turned to painting pictures. First Painted Advertisement. The first painted advertisement In Omaha was dabbed on the side of the Milton Rogers’ store at Fourteenth and Farnam streets by Trummer. Sign advertisements were new and the old farmer Trummer portrayed coming Into town wtlh his umbrella and bag attracted much attention. After leaving the employ of McGill & Rosenzwelg, the two pals gradually drifted apart. Trummer started paint ing for the Thonrms A. Cusack com pany In 1903 end when he retired In 1923 he was chief artist of the ad sign organization. Johnson was In the paper and paint business for 10 years, then he became proprietor of a laundry. Six years ago he was appointed deputy sheriff and for two years has served as bailiff In district court. Johnson discovered the name of his old friend In the list of Jurors Im panelled In the court December 1. The two old chums Indulged In an enthusiastic demonstration in the cor ridors of the courthouse. It was the first time they had met In 20 years. Both "Oil Dabbers.’’ Although Johnson had been out of the painting business for years and Trummer had been engaged in execut ing the more or less uninspired ad illustrations, they found that both had been ’dabbing” In oils In their spare time. Each viewed the other's canvases. Finally they agreed to do one to gether aa a symbol of their reunion. A view of Johnson's cottage at Lake Jefferson, Minn., was chosen for the theme. Johnson sketched the scene and from Ills description Trum mer reproduced It on canvas. They completed the painting In four days, working during their leisure time. “Neither Trummer nor I have taken a lesson In our lives,’’ declared John son as he exhibited the canvas about the oourthouee. Paintings Are Ijiuded. Trummer has been offered as high as 11,000 for one of his paintings. According to mi j.i»ouu», "hidden his light under a bushel.” Among his canvases are several re ligious paintings and a copy of “The Shephard,” portraying the herdsman In a snowstorm with his sheep. Johnson’s pride Is a portrait of a woman having her fortune told by a negro mammy. The bailiffs paint ing Is a source of great concern to hls wife. "When he gets started onoe,” she said, "he site there and dobs, without eating or resting for hours, until he gets so dizzy be almost falls from the chair.” AUTO HITS MAN ADMIRING SHINE Philadelphia, Dec. 13.—Too closely Inspecting his newly shined shoes nearly oost the life of Christopher Shane, who was struck hy an auto mobile end seriously injured.
