For victims of congestive heart
failure - the most common
cause of death from heart mala-
dies — Drs. Lous Leiter and
Jacob Grossman of New York's
Montefiore' Hospital have uncov-
ered a new treatmentwhich may
offer a way to normal life ex-
pectancy. The afflicted person's
heart fails to pump enough blood
to meet the body's oxygen re-
quirements. To compensate, large
quantities of fluids collect in the
body tissues and are not carried
off to the kidneys. The lungs 'and
liver may become congested.
Instead of "drowning in their
own' fluid," Drs. Grossman and
Leiter said, congestive heart -
failure patients now can be
"dried out" by this therapy; (1)
A. low -salt diet (salt contributes
to the "backing up" of fluid in
the tissues); (2) the use of drugs
called "diuretics," which in-
erease the flow of urine and
r'raw excess fluids — the most
affective being chlorothiazide
(trade name, Diuril), and (3)
rlacing an elastic bandage on the
patient's swollen legs and ele-
vating them so that the fluid is
equeezed from the limbs and car-
r'ed to his kidneys.
The first chemical analysis of
the patches on the inside of the
arteries of patients with athero-
sclerosis was describel by Drs.
lysate'. fharles J. Umberger and Leo A.
Dal Cortivo, biochemists in the
New York City Medical Exam-
iner's office. Their intricate tests
of hardened material taken from
the arteries of 55 men (between
and 50 years old) who had
died of acute heart disease may
upset current theories as to how
'Vats in the diet contribute to
hardening of the arteries and to
eventual heart attacks.
Contrary to their expectations,
the scientists found that the ar-
tery deposits they studied con-
tained no fats at all, although it
looked and felt like fat. More
Chan half of the artery patches
was cholesterol, but in a differ-
ent form theft the ordinary
cholesterol found in the brood
!- 'tream. From these findings,
Drs. Umberger and Dal Cortivo
assume that changes so far un-
known may take place in body
cholesterol before it reaches the
arteries. Their analyses also
suggested that diets of unsatur-
ated fats (such as vegetable oils)
recommended to heart patients
by many physicians may have no
effect in preventing artery hard. -

stomach ulcer patients who will receive c gentle rocking an

For some examinations of this disorder the patient is rolled

to see the barium, swallowed by the patient, as it flows from

Sobering Facts
About Fallout
Into a Columbia University
laboratory regularly stream ship-
ments of one of science's grim-
mest raw materials for study:
human bones. They come from
the recently dead bodies c' men,
women and children all over the
non-Communist world, including
such outskirts as Chile, South
Africa and Formosa. At Colum-
bia's Lamont Geological Obser-
vatory, in a project financed by
the U.S. Atomic Energy Com-
mission, they go under the scrut-
iny of scientists who analyze
the bones for strontium 90. Re-
cently tl;e project's three scien-
tists, Drs. Walter R. Eckelmann,
J. Laurence Kulp and Arthur R.
Schulert, made their second an-
nual report. The bones told a
sobering story of increasing
amounts of radioactive fallout
from nuclear -weapons tests,
Strontium 90 is the most fear-
ed of all the fallout isotopes. It
has a long half-life (28 years),
and the human body tends to
mistake it for calcium, which it
resembles chemically, and to
build it into bone. As it disin-
tegrates over the years, it may
cause cancer by the effect of its
radiation on tender living cells.
Since their last year's report,
said the scientists, the world -
average content of strontium 90
in human bone has increased by
about 30%. The increase in
young children, whose bones are
growing actively, was 50%. The
highest values were found in
North America, the lowest in the
Southern Hemisphere.
Young children have, propor-
tionately, ten times more stron-
tium 90 in their bones than
adults, but so far the average is
only about 1/150 of the MPC
(Maximum. Permissible Concen-
tration) that was recommended
by the National Academy of Sci-
ences. The amount will surely
grow, say the scientists. Even if
no more weapons are tested,
there may be enough strontium
90 in "the stratospheric' reser-
voir" to raise the strontium 90
in the bones of children in the
Northeastern U.S. to as much as
4,3% of the MPC. If weapons
testing continues at the same
rate as the last few years, the
average for the entire population
of the Northeastern US. will
gradually climb to about 305"0 of
the MPC by the year 2000.
Not all people get the same
amount- Some children had
three times the average, and the
variation in adults is seven times.
Most of these figures are about
city dwellers, and the scientists
think that the variationin rural
areas will be greater still. It
is thus likely that if weapons
tests continue, a good many un-
fortunates may come dangerous-
ly close to the Maximum Per-
missible Concentration which
many scientists believe has been
set far too high. — From TIME.
Secret Hoards
Thieves recently stole a quan-
tity of money in notes, but the
police were hot on their track
and they did not have much
time to hide it, so they stuffed
it into some beer bottles which
they hid under the front porch
Many and various are the
hiding places chosen by thieves
— in the stuffin of a sofa, the
bottom of a bird cage, and even .
in the shank of an old key.
In one crook's house the police
found a pot of soup simmering
on the fire. It was a very rich
soup — there were a number of
gold coins in it!
A similar method led to the
destruction of some documents
which were never found. They
were pulped and boiled up with
the cattle feed.
The other day a man was ar-
rested in Wisconsin when a
woman accused him of having
stolen twenty dollars from her.
He strenuously denied it, so the
police took him to the station
and searched him, but there was
no sign of the money and he
could not have got rid of it.
He was kept in custody while
further inquiries were made.
While he was waiting he was
allowed to go to sleep, and dur-
ing his slumbers his mouth fell
open, displaying to the interested
detectives a crumpled, sodden.

It is far more difficult to de-

is to create one with curves
and clumps and a general in-
formal Layout Anyone with a
swing,, of course, can plant per-
fectly straight rows of petunias
or roses or tulips but, it takes
expert to make a gardn like
that look really attractive.
The average person with
average skill and an average lot
is far better advised to stick to
the simple, and in most cases;
more interesting informal lay-
out. In this, of course, along
the straight walls of our house
or the boundary fences, there
will be no chance for weaving
at the back, but by planting in
clumps and beds of various
widths and curving edges we
get an informal appearance at
the 'front As a rule the bigger
flowers and taller shrubbery, go
at the back but just to break
the monotony we occasionally
bring something forward. We
also plant in groups of two or
three to a dozen of each species
depending upon size, rather
than as single individual speci-
mens,
In the centre of almost any
garden layout, no matter how
small, will be a piece of lawn
and around that we group
flowers and shrubbery., Rather
than hide all the foundation
line of the house, or all of, an
attractive wall or fence, we
leave irregular spaces here and
there between clumps of shrub,
bery or beds of flowers. If the
garden is a fair size, too, it is
an excellent plan to arrange.
trees, shrubbery and taller
flowers so that part of the lay-
out is hidden and only revealed
when the visitor moves along.
If possible have a curving path
than a straight one but make
sure there is some reason for
the curve even if you have to
make one by planting a tree or
a clump of shrubs.
CULTIVATION
Killing weeds is only ane of
the reasons for cultivation. The
big gain is the improvement. in
the texture of the soil. Cultiva-
tion lets in air, breaks up the
clay lumps, makes the soil more
open so that it will absorb and
hold more moisture. Even where
there are no weeds, regular
cultivation, say once a week, is
advisable in most gardens up
to the early part of July and
longer if the weather turns un-
usually dry because this work-
ing of the top soil conserves the
moisture.
NO RUSH
It is _probably some age-old
instinct which gives us the urge
to get outland dig just as soon
as the first spring day arrives.
There is no harm in going ahead
if we live in some very warm
corner of Canada, but as a rule
one should restrain the impulse
until the weather really turn
warm and the soil is fairly dry.
Nothing is gained by rushing
either cultiva(ion or seeding and
much can be lost. If the ground
is the least bit muddy 'then all
we do is mess up ourselves and
implements and leave the
ground in bad shape for any
real working later on. And if
we are so foolish as to plant
tender things far ahead of time,
then the frost will surely get
them.
All this does not mean, how-
ever, that we should not risk
a few things reasonably early
provided the soil is fit to work.
To determine that we can, if we
want to be scientific, select a
handful of soil squeeze lightly
and then take off the pressure.
If the soil crumbles, it is ready
to work. If, when we squeeze
it into a ball it stays that way,
or if it leaves our fingers all
muddy, then we should forget
about gardening for that after-
noon at least and go inside and
read a book or seed catalogue.
How Can 1?

Q. How can I keep my potted
palms glossy?
A. Sponge the leaves of the
palms once every week with a
solution of milk and water, and
they will keep„ their nice glossy
appearance,

of a fruit tart, and also prevent
it from boiling over in the oven?
A. Both objects can be accom-
plished by mixing a little corn-
starch with the sugar.
Q. flow can 1 make the floors
warmer?
A. The floors will be' much
warmer and less draughty if
newspaper is spread under the
rug or carpet. The paper also
acts as a preventive for moths.
Q. How can I add more nutri-
tive value to mashed potatoes?
A. By boiling the potatoesin
their jackets, 'then removing
the skins, and mashing the po-
tatoes until fluffy,
