Remember the road meeting at Industrial rooms tomorrow evening. The tourist camp will be discussed. Come and say what you think. It’s only three weeks until Christmas and 4 hose weeks will fly around. If you shop early you avoid the big rush and secure a better selection, you please the merchant and you secure a satisfaction in having your gifts ready. Watch the columns of this paper and profit by making your choice as soon as you can. It means a happier Christmas. Did you survive yesterday on an Armenian diet? if you did you perhaps wonder how the millions of the Far East survive it all the time. They don't, they just exist a while and then perish. We who scarcely know what it is to lack for food Should be a liberal as we can for those who are destitute and are suffering through uo fault of theirs. Congressman Fairfield of the twelfth district will introduce a bill in congress, asking $1,250,000 with whie hto build a postoffice building at Ft. Wayne. Each session he files such a bill and always for more money. Looks like the government might save money by .doing it for some day they will get it over and the longer it goes, the more they will ask. The sum is sufficient to build postoffices in every city in the district if they would leave off the ginger bread and the graft. The heavy stone is getting well brushed off the state highway from here north and it’s about time for them to start dumping on fresh. If the road was scraped in and rolled it might be in a very good condition the next few months but from past experience it's not likely this will be done. About the time it gets so you can travel over it at a twenty-mile gait they get busy and establish enough “hazards" to irtake it unsafe to go over. Mr. Stone, who speaks at Industrial rooms tomorrow evening recently had a most satisfactory session with the Indiana Highway Commission and has been assured of their co-operation and assistance in making this route a real one through this state. The road from Huntington to the state line and through here will be given some state aid next year and as soon as possible will be made a fifty-foot improved highway. We are getting speedy and real results from our “pep” in assisting in this project ai.d we hope and sincerely believe it the most important action taken here in several years. President Frink of the Yeomen Brotherhood denies the serious charges made against officials of the order by what he calls “disgruntled members" and his explanation is no doubt true. The delay in the selection of the site and the neglect of using snappy business methods as hurt the brotherhood and we do not believe there has been any graft or unfairf ness and that future actions will prove it. We hope the board will proceed with the selection of 4 kite as it is declared they will and be-

lieve that the city which lands It will be fortunate for the idea is so perfect that it is bound to be a great city of childhood. . President Coolidge will read his message to congress probably on ’ Wednesday and begins, what at this r time looks like the stormiest session of congress In years. It’s not because they are so anxious to give you something as it is that each faction plays I the political game and it's a safe i I guess that Mr. Coolidge will not find i himself capable of driving his legislaI tive recommendations through con- ’ gross. We doubt if any one could, for J personal politics comes first with I those who aspire to fill the place in the White House. It will be interesting, however, and the strength and weakness of those in charge will be watched by millions of citizens and voters. Governor McCray will not resign and says, "I will continue to be governor until my term expires, unless I die." This no doubt means that every effort will be made by his attorneys to postpone his trial and if he is found guilty he will put off paying by means of seeking a new trial and appealing to the supreme court. ■ He may be able to do it for it is not ; unusual in this country to carry over 1 criminal procedure a year. The 1 charges are serious and guilty or not guilty there is no doubt the governor has lost his opportunity to best seQe i his people. While some may admire i his nerve there is doubt if he is do- * ing the wisest and best thing for Indiana. ■ S i f £ J t BACK HOME AGAIN t Back to the dear old home once more, ( And the scenes of long ago; Where juciest apples and sweetest nuts I And fairest flowers grow. i Back where the hills in summer were ( green, t And snows in wniter were white, (Greener than anywhere else on s earth, And drifts were never so bright!) i Back to the fields of ripened corn, < The barns and big hay mows, j Ah—it is good to be doing chores ] Jts fun to be milking the cows!

! Field Goals by “Eagle Eye” Pete The next dish for the local fans is the Leaders-Buddies l>utlle in the high school gymnasium tomorrow night. It promises to be a tasty dish, too.

Kricgbautn. Petrie and Burris will be the probable starters." A player who smokes cigarettes during the basketball season is about as valuable to a high school net squad as a gallon of water In a five-galloq gasoline tank on iTbenzine buggy. A player who has no more spiri) than tq do that ought not be permitted inside the gym to see the games, let alone play in them.

z 'I PROTECT YOUR HEALTH Stories Dealing With Care Os The Body And Treatment Os Diseases (By Benj. F. Beavers, M. D.)

DIABETES | Diabetes is a disease of nutrition, characterized by an excess of sugar in the blood and its excretion in th<> urine. A normal person carries about one per cent of sugar in the blood; when it gets to a point above 2 per cent it is found in the urine, and if the condition persists the person has diabetes. In mild cases, the disease may be controlled by means of a diet free from too much carbohydrate food. In severe cases the treatment is a different matter, and the diet must be regulated in such a manner' as to give the correct proportion of fats, carboludrates, and proteids for each individual case —for it is found that proteid food can also produce sugar. These different foods must be regulated very accurately. Examples of carbohydrate foods are such as potatoes, peas, beans, and all vegetables. Good examples of protein folSds are such as meats, and eggs. Until very recently, some cases were of such a severe nature that they could not be controlled; for no drug has been known which would directly aid in the treatment of diabetes. In the year 1921. a young physician by the name of Banting discovered a substance which aids in the treatment of severe cases. He was able to discover this substance as the result of experimenting upon dogs. To this substance he gave the name of RAILWAY ACCIDENTS Sharp Increase In Number Os Railway Accidents In Indiana (United Press Staff Correspondent) Indianapolis, Dec. 3—A sharp increase in the number of railroad accidents in Indiana for the past fiscal year is shown in the report of D. E. Mathews, chief of railroad inspectors of the public service commission. Mathew's report shows 2644 casualties on steam and electric railroads in 1923, against a total of 1671 in 1922. Steam railroads were responsible for 327 deaths this year and 209 the previous year. Electric- railroads caused 74 deaths in 1923 and 43 in 1922. During 1922 a total pt 148 persons were killed in j highway crossing accidents and this voar the number increased to 242. ,

k“insulin" from the Latin word mean- , ing “island,” and was given this name because it was prepared from 1 structures called "Islands of Langeri hans" of the pancreas, "Insulin” is a preparation made from healthy "Islands of Langerhans" of tlie pancreas. - z By injecting this new substance into a patient with severe diabetes, his ability to take care of more food without excess of sugar in the blood and urine is increased. Insulin has no effect if taken by mouth. It must be injected daily and the dose must be very carefully regulated according to the severity of the case, and the diet. The diet must be very carefully regulated for each individual patient, just as if no “insuline” were being given. The age, the sex. the weight, and the height of (Tie patient must all be taken into account in the treatment. Too much insulin can very easily be taken as well as too little. It is in fact a very complicated treatment, but will save many lives which before were lost. Insulin Is not to be used in all cases of diabetes, but only in the severe cases. It is not supposed to be a cure but a very useful aid in enabling the patient to digest without the severe results of a bad case of diabetes. It will therefor prolong lives which were, before doomed to certain death, and it will lift many people from the plain of invalidism to that of usefulness. PRICES IN 1921 Question Uppermost In Minds Os American People At Present Time (Untied Press Servi.-e) Indianapolis, Dec. 3 —The question uppermost in the American business mind today as we enter the last month of the year is “what will be the price in 1924?” This question is holding back much business, not alone in the steel industry but in all other industries and in agriculture as well. So far as prices are concerned, there has been no change in tlte steel market —the barometer of trade —and the same waiting game is being played as it has been for the past several weeks. The farmer is much concerned as ,to what his next year's crop will

bring. Regardless of the dogged persistence he has manifested for the past few years, it is obvious that his condition cannot remain as it is. It must improve. Blocs, proposed farm relief legislation and oratory have been thrust upon the farmer, but they have not helped his economic condition. It is a disastrous state of affairs when the farmer has to borrow money to pay’ his taxes and expenses. No industry' can possibly long exist under such conditions. 'lf we do not let the farming industry, which is larger than all others ’ combined, make a legitimate profit, then the farmer will take matters! into their own hands, forming a large' union, co-operative marketing asso-1 ciations or some similar organization J for self preservation. The inability to interpret the market is manifesting itself again in the ■ case of railroads which are laying off' men in large numbers. Whether this is to be permanent or for an indefinite period is a question, but it appears to be temporary and appar-i ently this condition will be adjusted I during the early part qf 1924. o_ Corneil Has Fine Record New York, Dec. 3. —Cornell, undefeated for three seasons, was the only ' major collegiate football team in the country to score more than 300 points | during the season which closed Sat-1 urday.
