Of course, nothing can replace the beauty of summer flowers and vines, but on the other hand there is nothing much prettier than green and white. And this is what I would suggest for winter, win dow boxes. v Green in the box against a white background of snow.

SCHOLES The normal average systolic blood pressure for a man 20 years old. is about 120mm. of mercury. A rough estimation, of tKe average normal pressure for a^es above 20 may be obtained by adding one poin: for each additional two years of age. Variations from the average oc cur even in health. Emotions, exercise and eating cause a temporary eleva tion. The blood-pressure normally rises as one grows older. This seems to be a wise provision on the part ^ nature to counterbalance certain changes In the system which occur with advanc ing age. Among the most important of these changes is a gradual hardening of the arteries which results in an increased resistance to the flow of blood. INCREASED PRESSURE Diseases of the heart, arteries and kidneys are often accompanied by an increased blood-pressure. This often seems to be one of nature’s methods of overcoming certain unfavorable effects of the disease. The seriousness of one’s condition is much more likely to depend upon the amount of disease change in the arteries, kidneys or heart than upon the heightened blood pressure. In fact, up to a certain place the increased blood-pressure may be absolutely essential to the well-being of the victims of diseases of this class. A SYMPTOM While blood-pressure determina tions are a very important oart of a medical examination, it is important to remember that an increased blood pressure it not necessarily a condition to be directly combated. In the pre sence of certain diseases It may even be your friend. A search should be made for the cause of this symptom —for high blood-pressure may be re garded as a symptom—and an effort made to remedy the cause, not the symptom. The result of a blood-pressure deter mination is of no practical value to you unless it is considered in relation to the general condition of your system as determined by a complete physical examination. Children increase the cares of life; but they mitigate the remembrance of death.
