Care in Transplanting
^T'RANSPI,ANTING is an impor
tant activity in amost every
garden, but a gardener will save
time and possible disappointment
if he knows "what should and what
should not be transplanted.
The following should not be
moved: Celosia, didiscus (blue
lace flower), four o’clock, hunne
mania, and perennial sweet pea.
Because of their peculiar root
growth, these flowers are dam¬
aged, sometimes even killed, when
transplanted.
Flowers which may be trans¬
planted with little fear of damage,
as long as the moving is done
properly, include ageratum, alys
sum, snapdragon, aster, calendu¬
la, marigold, pansy, petunia,
pinks, salvia, scabiosa, verbena,
Canterbury bells, columbine, hol¬
lyhock, pyrethrum and viola.
There is a third division of flow¬
ers, according to Harry A. Joy,
flower expert, whose lives will not
be endangered by transplanting,
but whose growth will be stunted.
Both plant and blossoms will be
smaller but earlier. Larkspur, zin¬
nia, phlox, nasturtium and bache¬
lor button are in this group.

* Rapid heart beat is often
found in healthy individuals
of all ages.
-By Dr. James W. Barton
I 'HE term paroxysmal
tacchycardia is when
the heart rate suddenly be¬
comes rapid and after a vari¬
able time — a few seconds,
hours or days — just as sud¬
denly goes back to its normal
rate.” During an attack the
heart rate may go as high as
250 beats to the minute and
then drop to a rate of 72 to 76.
The cause of this very rapid
beating of the heart is un¬
known but something—shock, wor¬
ry, disappointment—interferes with
the “starter” of the
heart beats and the
beat gets out of its
regular rhythm or
regularity.
Fortunately the
great majority of
cases occur in the
two heart chambers
— the auricles —
which receive the
blood, not the two
chambers — ventri¬
Dr. Barton cles — from which
the blood is pumped
to lungs, and to all the other parts
of the body. This auricle type is
not dangerous. v
Dr. W. Ford Connell in Canadian
Medical Association Journal states:
“Paroxysmal auricular tacchy¬
cardia is found in healthy adults of
all ages. Heart disease may or
may not be present. This very rap¬
id beating may be just for a few
beats or it may go on for as long
as six days. Attacks lasting a few
minutes are much the commonest.
Neither exercise nor drugs makes
any change in the rate whereas in
a normal and* heart or a diseased heart,
drugs exercise affect the rate.”
Attacks Stop Suddenly.
Most persons feel discomfort dur¬
ing an attack—a fluttering in the
chest or pounding in the neck.
Usually no treatment is neces¬
sary as the attacks stop suddenly
without treatment. Many of these
individuals have learned some
method of preventing or shortening
an attack by stimulating the large
nerves supplying heart, lungs, and
digestive apparatus. Thus holding
the breath or pressing with the fin¬
gers on first one eyeball and then
the other, or pressing firmly on the
large blood vessel in front of neck
which, can be seen to bulge if
watched closely, or the drinking of
ice water, or by bringing on a vom¬
iting spell, often stops an attack.
The drug that has been found most
useful is quinidine (not quinine) and
it can be given by mouth, five grains
every hour for 10 hours.
As this very rapid heart beat nat¬
urally alarms the individual, Dr.
Connell suggests that its lack of
danger be explained.

Excess Tissue Water
May Cause Epilepsy
It is sometimes difficult to tell
whether a patient is hysterical or
having an epileptic attack or “fit.”
However, in epilepsy the patient is
always unconscious and may do
harm to himself—biting his tongue
or others if not protected. In hys¬
teria the patient is not unconscious
and is aware of all that he is doing
and all that is going on about him.
He is usually, but not always, trying
to be the center of attention. This
is called a defensive mechanism.
While the cause of epilepsy is
still unknown, investigators have
found that food is a factor in caus¬
ing attacks, as a group of 11 epilep¬
tics, having one or more attacks a
day, were kept entirely free of at¬
tacks by being starved for 10 days.
Other investigators then found that
if liquids were reduced the epilep¬
tic attacks stopped, occurred less
often or were not so severe. From
this finding—excess water in the tis¬
sues causes epilepsy—a test for epi¬
lepsy has been discovered.
Epilepsy Test Perfected.
Drs. McQuarrie and Peeler, in
Journal of Clinical Investigation,
tell of their study of the effects of
using extract of the pituitary gland
in cases of suspected epilepsy. This
extract—pitressin—has the effect of
preventing the escape of water from
the tissues by way of the kidneys.
The patients were forced to drink
water and were then given the pit¬
ressin. In cases of true epilepsy
this forced drinking of water and
the keeping of it in the body by
means of the pitressin brought on
epileptic attacks. A series of other
individuals who were forced to drink
large quantities of water and were
also given pitressin did not have
any attacks.
The point then is that before giv¬
ing the regular treatment for epi¬
lepsy to patients it should first be
learned, by this method, that the
case is really epilepsy.
The present successful treatment:
1. Cutting down by one-half on all
starch foods—bread, sugar, pota¬
toes, pastries.
2. Cutting down by one-half on all
liquids—water, tea, coffee, milk, co¬
coa, soft or hard drinks.
3. Increasing the fat foods—but¬
ter, cream, fat meats.
4. A daily dose of phenobarbitaj
as prescribed by a physician.

WHAT to EAT and WHY
C. Houston Goudiss Reveals Several Reasons Why
Food Sometimes Disagrees; Warns Against
Eating When Tired or Worried
By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS
A A GREAT many people have the unfortunate habit of
warning friends and acquaintances against this or that
food, on the ground that it is “difficult to digest,” or “is
almost sure to cause digestive distress, especially if eaten at
the wrong time of day or in combination with the wrong
foods.” Indeed, to hear some men and women recount the
various dishes that are
left alone, is to wonder how
they manage to find anything
to eat at' all, in view of the
many good foods they con¬
sider taboo!
Certainly there is no objection to
food as the topic of conversation.
It is so basic to
good health that it
should be upper¬
most in the mind
of every individual
who desires to pro¬
mote physical and
mental efficiency.
And it is also nat¬
ural for a person to
be guided by past
experience in de¬
termining what he
should eat, and
what it may be advisable for him
to avoid.
But it is a grave mistake for
one person to warn another
against any food or combination
of foods on the ground that it will
cause digestive distress. For the
truth of the matter is that under
proper conditions, a normal,
healthy person should have no dif¬
ficulty in digesting almost any
food that has a place in the well
balanced diet.
Food Dislikes Often Unfounded
I once met a woman who told
me that her contented-looking hus¬
band could, and did, eat most ev¬
erything ’cept horseshoes. Menu
planning was simple for her! And
how different from the problems
of the home-maker who must try
to reconcile her menus, both with
the food dislikes of various mem¬
bers of the family, and with the
foods that they declare they can’t
eat, for fear of digestive distress.
It is true, of course, that indi¬
viduals differ greatly, and occa¬
sionally a food that can and should
be eaten regularly by most peo¬
ple, will cause distress in an in¬
dividual case. But that is no in¬
dication that the food will have
the same effect on another per¬
son, and it is misleading either to
proffer or accept advice of this na¬
ture from friends.
It may be that the victim has
an allergy to the food in question
—that he reacts to it differently
than the majority of people. But
there is also the possibility 'that
the prejudice exists because of
some previous distress, caused,
not by the food itself, but by the
circumstances under which it was
eaten.
Perhaps a clearer understand¬
ing of some of the mental and
physiological factors influencing
digestion would dispel many of
the bugaboos that cause people to

avoid various, wholesome foods
and food combinations, and to
warn others against them.
Emotions Influence Digestion
Scientists have established that
the stomach is capable of reacting
to almost every emotion and sen¬
sation that is experienced by men
and women. Thus, how you eat
becomes quite as important as
what you eat. And any food or
combination of foods consumed
when you are tired, worried or
angry, may cause acute distress,
whereas the same food, when eat¬
en at another time, may be di¬
gested without the slightest dis¬
turbance.
This indicates the folly of jump¬
ing to the conclusion that you
can’t eat this or that, and shows
that one is scarcely justified in
warning friends or relatives to
avoid certain articles of diet.
There is a large amount of evi¬
dence that fear, anger or anxiety
have the effect of diminishing the
gastric secretions, and further, of
arresting or slowing down the
movement of the intestines.
If food is eaten under these con¬
ditions, it may remain stagnant
in the alimentary canal, with the
subsequent formation of gases and
decomposition products. But in¬

If constipation has you down so

stead of recognizing the true cause
of the trouble, many people erro¬
neously blame the food itself!
Medical men have frequently
noticed that people often develop
gastric disturbances when they
suffer financial reverses, and con¬
tinue to suffer from them until
their financial condition improves
—a striking demonstration of the
importance of banishing fear and
worry!
Never Eat When Tired
Almost any food may cause dis¬
tress when one is suffering from
fatigue. So it is unwise to sit down
to a large meal when exhausted
from too much physical or mental
work. A brief rest before eating
will put the body in much better
shape to receive and assimilate
the food.
Then, if the meal is served in
pleasant surroundings, and if the
food is flavorful and well cooked,
the chances are that it will be di¬
gested satisfactorily by all normal
individuals.
Be Tranquil at Mealtimes
In view of the fact that tran¬
quillity of mind is essential to the
proper utilization of food, home¬
makers should remember never
to discuss unpleasant subjects at
meal times. Don’t nag the chil¬
dren about eating, or choose that
time to discuss their lapses from
discipline. Don’t talk about
finances or take up real or fancied
grievances with your husband. Let
such matters wait until the meal
has been digested.
If these suggestions were more
generally followed, it is almost
certain that we would hear much
less conversation about foods that
cause distress, much more whole¬
some talk about the pleasures of
the table.
