" EDITORIALS Heart Disease, a Killer Heart disease is rapidly becoming the chief cause of death in the United States, being far ahead of cancer, the second on the list of diseases which kill the greatest number of people in the United States every year. Concerning hwart disease, a recog nied authority reports that coronary sclero sis is sometime called the "disease of the intelligentsia" because of the susceptibility of physicians, bankers, lawyers and clergymen. The characteristics of the di sease, including the hardening of the ner ves, ligaments and blood vessels around the heart, and its incidence, is highest among those who do mental work and lowest among those who do manual labor. The Plattsmouth Journal naturally hesitates to attempt any conclusion from these observations, but, apparently, the disease attacks individuals who are prone to forget the importance of physical exer cise while consuming their energies in the anxiety of mental worries. It would there fore appear that, somewhere along the line of popular education in this country, the physical nature of man has been neg lected. If this is true, and we believe it is, we might save the lives of future professional men in this community by stressing athletic interests during childhood, with the hope that, when these individuals reach matur ity, they will have sense enough to con tinue what has been wisely begun.

OA YEARS AGO Great masses of heavy ice moving down the Platte river massed west of the wagon bridge at Louisville and despite the dynamiting of the ice floes a little over one bent of the bridge on the north side was carried out. The ice is measuring from 56 to 40 inches. The Missouri Pacific brid ge was also forced several inches out of line by the pressure of ice. Watchmen are being kept at the railroad bridges on the Platte north of Plattsmouth to warn of the possible visitation of the huge ice floes from the west. The Missouri river at this point is still closed and a jam at the mouth of the Platte feared. Ashland is fearful of ice in the Platte causing damage at Salt Creek is flooding and may bring very seri ous results Travel between this city and Omaha that had been broken by high water over the Pappio bottoms has been resumed.
