my opinion quite wort#fhy of such distinction. I am anxious to
see the choices of the A.P. and the K.C. Star.
Well, Dr. ‘Allen, here's the dope on my father straight
out: Daddy was always a hard driver, a tireless worker. A
very sbiocésetal dentist he was, who on top of the full day

of work required by his profession, served also as mayor for

six years--putting in sewer system, paving streets, and

improving park--, was active # and a leader in the Lion's ~
Club and the Masonic Lodge, and was presently clerk of the
school board. In a word, he was like yourself, a servant
of the public. And of course that was the only way he
could be happy. — |

Apparently, according to his $% doctors here; Hall and
Paing, Mappened to be afflicted with "malignant hypertension,"
Although he is a young man, ## 47, it has been five
years since he has had anything resemblire normal health.
Three years ago he was told at Wichita that he had very high
blood pressure. Then he went to Halstead a year ago, but
they got him off on the wrong track. Just a wwek ago last
Wednesday he came here to Hutchinson nearly at the end of
his rope and he seems to be getting steadily worse. This
high bloot pressure, as you know, comes with the hardening
of the arteries (usually) whigh,of course, "shrink" causing
greater pressure in the flow of the blood. Not that letting
up on his work would have made a great deal of difference,
his heart museles have gradually weakened (his heart is greatly
enlarged), his hemoglobing count falling low, and now his —

organs--the stomach, liver, and kidneys--are just "about shot.”
