Heart disease and Brigbt's di
sease have increased alarmingly in
this country in the last twenty-five
years, the percentage of deaths
having more than doubled. The
much discussed "simple life" might
be worth considering, as the cause
of this increase is attributed by
physicians to Americans living at
the "pace that kills." Over striv
ing tor wealth or position, the des
perate struggle to keep up in the
race of life and, abeve all, high liv
ing, entail penalties which cannot
be escaped save by a return to the
simpler and less exhausting modes
of existence of our forefathers.
