ANGER MAY CAUSE A SUDDEN STROKE Blood-Vessels Become Brittle And Burst Without Any if anting At All. By Prof. D. F. Fraser-Harris, M. D. A "Stroke" ts so named front : its suddennes.. Just as a person who ts going to strike a blow Strikes out suddenly, so a blood-vessel bursts without warning. Such a blood vessel has become brittle. In some people this brittleness or lass of elasticity in the arteries has been a tendency throughout life; in others it does not develop until well past middle age. As a great physician once put* it: Certain people are supplied with "peer- vital rubber." We all recog nize the difference between a piece of good new rubber tubing and a piece that ha; lain a long time In dry air and has "perished.” What is it that makes this vital rubber give way so suddenly? The answer is a sudden increase of the blood pressure within the artery. Just as the water-pressure In the “mains” of a city will cause a pipe to burst at a spot where the metal has pushed or become weak, so the blood pressure inside an artery may cause it to burst at some particu larly weak or brittle spot. Most frequently, this bursting of an artery takes .place in the brain. Now blood outside u vessel Is lit a vastly different state from hood inside. Them is no room for Uw blood outside the artery In the brain, and therefore it presses on the brain substance, interferes with its function, and may cause unconsciousness. This unconsciousness, coming on suddenly. Is the "stroke," as named by our forefathers because it looks like a blow struck by some unseen hand. The Oreek word for stroke 1; apoplexy. So that a stroke and apoplexy are the same thing It is the sudden increase of blood pressure that is bad for brittle ar teries. Elderly people ought t . avoid maktng sudden, violent ef forts. They should not lift heavy weights, or undertake vPorous gym nastics. Apoplexy often brings to a close a life of great intellectual ability. sir waller scow, for instance, died of apoplexy. Sometimes the sudden rise of blood-pressure is due to emotional causes, such as "flying into a rage ” This was the cause of the death of the great surgeon, John Hunter who had a stroke in the board room of St. George's hospital, Lon don. Hunter was attending a meet ing at which he considered the case of a student who, he knew, was net receiving just treatment. Overcome with righteous anger, he had Ids fatal “stroke.” SALE OE LAND Under and by virtue ot the power ot sale contained in that certain mortgage deed executed and delivered by A. T.

HOYX.E, Trustee, By B T, Falls. Attorney. 4* Jan IjSc Cigarette Users Pay Biggest Tax Average Smoker Pays Abut $20 Tear Tax For Privilege Of Smoking. Washington.—Do you smoke clg arets? Or perhaps you have a friend who does, in winch case you may now be able .to fell him a few things he doesn't know about cig urets. The cigaVet smoker appears to be better entitled to a thrill of pa triotic pride—in days when the the treasury is broke—than most other people. If lie—or she. of course—smokes only one 15-ceut package a 4ny he pays $21.90 a year in federal taxes for his smok es, Six cents of every 15 Is tax money. Estimates of the number of Am erican cigaret smokers run as high as 35,000,000, but Julius Parker, New York lawyer who represented the tobacco industry at the tax hearings of the House Ways and Means Committee, undertook to speak for an estimated 20,000,000 persons who, he guessed would av erage about a package a day. ' What makes up 20,000,000 cigaret smokers so valuable to our govern ment Is that while we pay $20 or more apiece in cigaret taxes, fewer than 2,000,000 persons contribute to the treasury with income taxes and our payments are considerably higher than those of men aad wom en In the lower income tax brack ets. The total internal revenue de rived from cigarets is about $360, 000.000 and for all tobacco both tax and import duties, somewhere around $500,000,000. Peak consump tion of clgarets was 120,000,000,000 in 1930. Secretary of the Treasury Mellon would raise the cigaret tax from six cents to seven cents r pack. The tobacco industry says the depres sion has already decreased cigaret sales and an additional tax might so accelerate that trend as to lose money for the government. When you buy a package of clg arets you pay Uncle Sam six cents, the wholesale and retail dealers 2.9 cents and the manufacturer 6.1 I cents, according to Parker, who said the manufacturers’ profit was not in excess of l’i cents a pack age—20 per cent of tire entire ['profit” as compared with 80 per I cent taken by the treasury. Depression, it was brought out, has driven many persons to pipe smoking and has stimulated the use of cigaret-rolling machines. The tobacco used in "roll your own cig arets” is taxed at 18 cents pound as compared with about a dollar a pound tax on tobacco in manufac tured cigarets. All popular brands of cigarets use some Turkish tobacco and all use imported cigaret paper, both items subject to duties, Parker said. .Cigaret consumption was in creasing at the rate of about 10 per cent a year up to and through 1929 but depression and state sales tax es slowed up the rate of increase substantially in 1930 and business remained about the same in the first half of 1931. But, according to Parker, consumption dropped off 5 'per cent in 1931 and 10 p • cent for | the last six months. His theory was that a further tax at this time would have a disastrous effect all around, hitting the treasury. the manufacturers, the tobacco growers while acting on the 20,000.000 con sumers just as If the income tax brackets had been lowered so as to include them. The post-war increase on the cig aret tax was similarly attacked, but Parker pointed out that no one in YOU AIN’T SEEN NOTHIN’ YET! .j?et ready for Edgar Allen Foe’s “Murder* in the Rue Morgue” Coming to the Carolina Mon. Children Under 10 Not Admitted. 1919 foresaw the great development of smoking among women or the “tremendous impetus” given the habit by the return of soldier who had had free cigarets fed them in France. About a dozen states now have cigaret taxes, committee members found, including Arkansas, with a tax of five cents a package. In such states, ■ ccording to Congressman Virgil Chapman of Kentucky, per capita consumption in 1930 was only 431 as compared to national per capita consumption oX B7a "Bootlegging” and mail order bu\ ing usually - Increased, however When citizens have had a chance t< vote on cigaret taxes by refernda as in Michigan, Oregon and Nea Mexico, they have defeated then overwhelmingly.
