Go slower, or it will kill you!” You understand that under modern governmental meth rds these Washington collectors of facts and figures are al They send out into different cities and dif ferent sectidns and ask questions- amexpected questions, questions that wonder why the government wants to know that!” Then, day, after it has listed all these replies, and nade them up into tables, it sends out an official report which dis you often surprising things about yourself and the other millions who belong to Uncle Sam's big family. This particular message to you is about heart disease, the blow that comes like a flash of lightning, that smites a man as he stands on the street corner, One minute, he is a living, breathing, thinking creature—the next, he is lying there on the sidewalk, and the crowd comes running. One minute, there was a human being talking to you-the next, ing there but the worn-out shell which was unable to hold such ways inquiring. -sometimes queer questions, “Well, I nake you say, one there is noth treated it and abused it and weakened it. This is the very message that the government is sending oat, All over the country there are busy cities full of tae men and women. Every state has its one or two or half-dozen. Some have more. There may be 500 in all—towns so big that} we call them cities. Now in only seventgen of all these cities the government has discovered that more than 18,500 men and | women died of heart disease during this one year! It doesn’t} tell you how many died in the same way in all the other cities It doesn’t need to. It took these 17 widely distributed cen-| ters, and applied its tests to them, and then it has turned to} you, and it says, “Careful! Go slower! Heart disease is kill- ing more of our people every year!” } In these 17 cities alone, 2,500 more dropped down this year | than last year. The figures for New York, from 5,557 to 7,059.
