Why Isn’t It Done?
VJE/'E Americans are disposed to
laugh at the conservative
Englishman who advances as an
all-sufficient objection to any in
novation: “But it isn’t done, you
know.” Have we a right to? As
a matter of fact, we are just as
hidebound and illogical about
many things.
If you were going to buy a
trunk, for instance, would it
strike you as the acme of effi
ciency to have to go to a different
store to buy the key? And yet
that is a proceeding which we ex
actly parallel when we buy can ;
of food in a grocery store, and
then hie ourselves off to a hard
ware store to get an instrument
with which to open them.
Make It Convenient
Heu-ewives are beginning to
ask for the convenience of being
able to buy cans and can openers
in the same place. That’s one
reason why grocery stores ought
to sell can openers, but there’s
another equally cogent one, too.
If the grocer wants to make a hit
and keep on selling his canned
foods, he should be sure that hi3
customers get a good can opener
and not one of those which have
been so aptly described as the
“punch, push and tear” variety
with their danger of injury from
jagged points of tin.
Efficient modern can openers
are simply operated by squeezing
two handles together or merely
moving a clamp to force the prong
or cutting wheel into the tin.
Then the cover is removed by
turning a large wing nut or
handle which cuts it off clean, and
leaves the edges of both can and
cover smooth.*

NEUROSIS AS CAUSE OF HYPER
TENSION
That the origin of hypertension,
or high blood pressure—a malady
which reaps the staggering toll of
140,000 lives annually in the United
States alone—may be purely mental,
was suggested in a clinical discus
sion featuring the eighty-second an
nuul convention of the Medical As
sociation of Georgia.
Pronounced incurable by means
of drugs and similar therapeutic de
vices, the drend disease must either
be treated as a psychological con
dition, brought on bv repeated “fits”
of mental, emotion* or nervous ex-
citement, or be left to run its inevit
ably fatal course. This was the
consensus of opinion among the
delegates taking part in the discus
sion, which began with the reading
of a paper hy Dr. Steven P. Kenyon,
of Dawson.
Dr. Stewart R. Roberts, of Atlan
ta, expressed the belief that neuros
is lies at tho bottom of every mani
festation of hypertension, and sum
marized the malady as “a physical
reaction to a mental and emotional
life.” “A spiritual life,” he added,
“if you prefer that term.”
“Fits of anger,’’ Dr. Roberts con
tinued, “moral indignation, worry,
emotional brainstorms — no matter
how justified, are dangerous and
have a definitely harmful effect on
the heart action. Repeated indul
gence may lead to chronic hyperten
sion.”
The only remedies for the consti
tutionally high-strung patient are
prolonged rest periods and cultiva
tion of a more placid frame of mind,
Dr. J. A. Redfearn, of Albany, de
clared. In handling such cases, ho
added, it is necessary to treat tho
patient, not the disease.
THE FARM BOARD FEAR
The federal farm board seems to
be the ox in the gap through which
business is trying to get into tho
highroad of activity and progress.
The board has on hand 275,000,-
000 bushels of wheat bought on high
terms and now losing mill and mar
ket value in storage at heavy ex
pense. It has, also, between 3,000,-
000 and 4,000,000 bales of cotton
acquired in like efforts to hold up
market prices. But the prices have
not held up. New and practically
normal crops of wheat and cotton
are about to mature. The farm
board holdings will overshadow the
markets and the farm depression is
: ure to continue.
What is to .be done about the sit
uation? That question is puzzling
the president, his administrators and
the business world that is bound to
thrive or suffer with the agricultur
ists of the nation.
The farm board says it will buy
no more wheat and cotton, but the
ability of the board to enter the
selling market at any time with its
huge surpluses cannot fail to keep
farmers and business men in dread
of the effects of that farm board
competition.
What seems to be needed is that
the farm board should announce
that it will not sell any of its hold
ings until the market adjusts itself
again to normal crops and prices.
With that policy declared the farm
board menace would disappear and
the old regulatory law of demand
and supply would again exercise its
proper and profitable influence upon
agriculture and commerce.
And then hereafter the farm
board stay out of the markets.—At
lanta Constitution.
FIRST WOMAN RURAL MAIL
CARRIER LOOKING FOR
WARD TO RETIREMENT
The first woman ever to be ap
pointed a rural mail carrier in the
United States is looking forward to
retirement upon pension this spring
after 30 years of continuous service.
Mrs. Ruth Kenyon, of Monroe,
Neb., now 63 years old, was appoint
ed October 1, 1902, when rural free
delivery became a permanent insti
tution. Postal authorities had mis
givings regarding the ability of a
woman to perform the work, and it
took considerable urging on the part
of the late Senator J. H. Millard te
change their minds, according to
Mrs. Kenyon.
Mrs. Kenyon, now a great-grand
mother, has proved her faithfulness
to her job through blizzards, rain,
storms, and sometimes over virtually
impassable roads, winter and sum
mer. She drove a span of horses on
a 24-mile route daily until the auto
mobile became popular.
When she shifted to a car the
mileage of her route was doubled.
When she first went to Nebraska
with her father as part of a Quaker
migration from Pennsylvania pro
moted by President Grant the fore
fathers of President Hoover were on
the same train.
