Williim Brady, 261 II Canine, Bavarly Hills, Calif. TO QUIET THE FLUTTERING HEART The application of terms de scriptive of the actions of ma chinery, to human functions, is at times a- X musing, but us S ually very ex- f pressive. These a" 3 t 1 terms often mean more to a doctor than the terms used by a patient who is trying to be "correct" The term "missing" used in reference to the action of Dr Brsdv tlle neart bor" rowed from the well-known expression created by a balky gas engine. While the expression "missing" is about all the doctor needs to hear, the ex pression actually does not truly describe what happens. Any type of irregular heart action may be described by the patient as "missing." One of the most common irregularities of the heart action is known tech nically as "extra-systole." This appears to the patient as a pro longed pause between beats, sometimes followed by a "thump." The term "missing" in this instance would seem quite appropriate. r Actually, there is no "miss." Rather, two contractions of the heart occur in such manner that one follows the other so rapidly that the usual pause between the beats is imperceptible. Follow ing this a prolongel pause oc curs until it is time for the next regular beat. While the pause is perceptible to the patient, the quick "out-of-time" beat is not. The impression the patient gets is that he has missed a beat. An extra-systole, (systole means contraction of the heart) occurs because a nervous im pulse which does not come under the control of the regulating nervous mechanism, reaches the heart muscle causing instant con traction. This impulse may be described as "errant," or "stray." It is not always possible to find the source of the "table-hopping" nervous impulse. However, many persons have found that extra systoles are associated with smoking, strong coffee and other identifiable things. Extra-systoles may occur in the presence of a normal heart. In fact, they are very often found in normal hearts. However, the persistence of setra-systoles, must in time, lead to the suspicion of some de veloping defect of the heart. The heart normally beats rythmically, regardless of the rate of speed of the action. Some times the rhythm is replaced by irregular action which is notice able by the patient,' and may be associated with some degree of breathlcssncss. The absolute lack of regularity of heart action is well known to all doctors by a specific name which I need not burden you with at this time. The condition, not the name, is im portant. Irregularity of the heart ac tion is often of no great import ance and, if temporary, may usu ally be ignored. However, every doctor has seen patients who fin ally "give up," and come to the doctor to have their dark fears confirmed patients who for months or years have been brood ing silently over the irregular action of their hearts. Most of these people arc delighted to re ceive the news that they have been worrying needlessly. Most of these irregularities are func tional, i.e., they are not due to heart disease as such. Ordinary doses of quinine have no appreciable effect upon the heart, but they do affect the blood vessels, causing a slight dilation of the latter. This ac tion may contribute to a better flow of blood to and from the heart, and thus permit the heart to function more normally.

You may remember that many persons have reported to me that by taking small doses of quinine in advance of certain events, such as public speeches, writing of examinations and the like, that they have been en abled to get through much better than without it. The explanation of this may lie in the fact that they have better circulation for the time being which makes the heart less susceptible to"thump ing" one of the characteristic symptoms which contributes to the difficulty of the unusual or deal. The dose I have suggested is small perhaps only one or two grains, taken three times a day for a few days. This dose is much smaller than the dose us ually given for the conditions in which quinine is often employed.

M. Brandt, head of the department of dairy Industry at Oregon State college, in a talk to Medford Kiwanians at Rogue Valley Country club yesterday noon. He spoke of the relationship between good dairy products and soil fertility, and said that dairy products nave an Important con tribution to health. Brandt point ed to the importance of maintain ing soil fertility if future genera tions are to live and eat as well as does the present generation. Gran Ii Factor A factor, he said, is mainte nance of enough soil raising grass and to feed the grass to livestock which will put manure back on the soil. Discussing the public relations of the dairy industry, Brandt stated that the business in Ore gon has lost a lot of public con fidence and that bad information has been published. He stressed, however, that the industry con sists of a large number of farms, has many problems, is an in volved industry and is bound to have agitation. Brandt told of changes of crops ones 'way back in '29 look like midgets. This might be a good way for some survey-mindea ofticial with an appropriation to spend a few thousand, and substantiate tnr teachers' opinions. The Grange Roxy Ann Grange Roxy Ann opened the new year meeting with 100 per cent officer attendance. Fifty-nine members turned out to Inaug urate the year with plans by the various committees for a year replete with improvements and advancement of Grange ideals. Ways and means were dis cussed for completion of the new dining hall which is a pride of the community.

William Attridge of the bureau of reclamation gave an Interest ing talk on the proposed Rogue valley project. John Nieder meyer was also a guest. Shirley and' Frances Moffat as the result of subsidies, en couragement of seed growing and other practices that have made Oregon go backward in the past IS years. Citai Marktti He mentioned the market in California that Oregon had for dairy products before the war, explaining how the population growth here helped change the picture. Dairy employment after the war fell off because of com peting wages in other endeavors. There are 50.000 fewer cows in Oregon now than in 1940, ac cording to Brandt and, generally speaking there is no surplus of grade A milk. He predicted that families may soon be able to buy colored oleo margarine if they wanted and said readjustment in the dairy industry will take place as mar garine takes the place of butter. conducted games.
