INTERESTING MELANGE.
A Chronological Record of Events as they have
Transpired in the City and County since our last Issue.
Kid McCoy at Joplin.
About a dozen Carthage men
went to Joplin last night to see the "boxing
match" at the Club theatre between the famous Kid
McCoy, the world champion of middle weight, and Jim
Carter, announced as the heavy weight champion of
Alabama.
The theatre was crowded
with a noisy audience who cheered enthusiastically
whenever a paint was scored.
The contest was a very
one-sided one and although Carter was not knocked out
until the fifth round it was apparent to all that McCoy
had things all his own way and only permitted the five
rounds in order to give the crowd "their
moneys worth."

Talkin'
Mornin',
Im always a little amazed at how accurate
the speedometers are in our vehicles. At least
accordin to that "your speed is"
machine that out on the streets. Course
Ive only tested it up to around 32 mph
since its in city limits. As a teenager I can remember
followin a buddy who had put on oversized
tires on his hot rod to get a sense of how far
off his speedometer was. Bein a responsible
kid, he sure didnt wanna be caught
goin over the speed limit. The definitive
word in that statement of course is caught. He
mainly wanted to know the maximum speed he could
show on his speedometer when he passed a
patrolman on the highway.
As I remember the jalopy
couldnt do much more than the limit anyway
without onea those retread truck tires
blowin out.
This is some fact, but mostly,
Just Jake Talkin.

To
Your Good Health
By Paul G. Donohue, M.D.DEAR DR. DONOHUE: At first, doctors
thought I had pneumonia. Then they decided I had
congestive heart failure. How can such a mistake
be made? I am now taking all sorts of medicines.
Before, I wasnt taking any. Will I ever get
off them? I am 79. -- N.N.
ANSWER: Pneumonia and
congestive heart failure have two things in
common: Both fill (congest) the lungs with fluid,
and both make a person short of breath. With
pneumonia, the fluid in the lungs is filled with
white blood cells trying to fight off the
infection. With congestive heart failure, the
fluid in the lungs is fluid that has leaked from
the circulation due to a backup of blood in lung
blood vessels. The two can be mistaken, but the
error is usually quickly corrected.
Congestive heart failure
results when the heart is no longer a good pump.
Its muscle has become so feeble that it
cant empty all the blood in it. Pressure
inside lung blood vessels rises and forces fluid
into the lungs air sacs.
Causes of heart failure are
many. A heart attack can weaken heart muscle and
its ability to pump. Deformed heart valves are
another cause. Uncontrolled blood pressure can
bring on heart failure.
Medicines can often get the
heart pumping more strongly. Water pills rid the
body and lungs of excess fluid. ACE inhibitors
take the stress off heart muscle. There are many
medicines, and a person often must take a
combination of them. More likely than not, you
will have to take them for life.
