Diabetic Life-Preserver

By Harman N. Bundeaen. M. O. MOST people think of diabetes mellitu* an a disease of the kidneys. It Ik not at all. but rather a disease of the metabolism. the process hy which the body la maintained Order to nie sugar, the body miwt have a substance known aa Insnlln. normally manufactured by the pancreas. In people with diabetes. thMßancreaa fails to secrete thia chemical When thia happens, sugar appears in the urine and the amount of sugar in the blood ia Increased. Before it wan discovered ' that Insulin could be made from the pancreas of certain animals, the man or woman with diabetea was doomed to a miserable life and an early death. Lower Death Rate Today, according to I>r. Herman 0. Mosenßtal of New York, the use of insulin in diabetes has towered the death rate to the vantuhfng point In persons under 35 years of age. and has diminished the death rate in those between 35 •nd 40. The feet that there Is as iiKteaeed mortality from diabetes in those over 55 means only that diabetic patients now are living longer, and not that modern treatment has been a failure. In treating-diabetes, it is neces•ary to keep the amount of sugar tn the blood at the proper level without producing hypoglycemia. ®r so little sugar In the blood. This can be done by adapting the dosage of insulin to the patient s seeds and comforts rather than by modifying the diet There are a number of different varieties 9t fßMita which can be

The College All Star* defeated the lais Angeles’ Rams, champion of the National Football la-ague, 16-0. Bo McMillen of Indiana University coached the winning team and Leloy (Crazy Legs) Hlrsch was the star, making the two touchdowns by spectacular runs. It was a great sporting event enjoyed also by millions who listened in on the broadcast. o o Traveling Children This -ear more children are travelling across the country by themselves than ever before.

Frequenly the Traveller's Aid Society is called on to rescue a small child who gets confused about where he is going, or what relative was expected to meet him. This may call for considerable detective work to track down the « youngster's family. When parents have to send a child alone on a trip, the Traveller's Aid would like to know ahead of time, according to a dispatch from the Women's National News Service. If a plan can be made la advance, then the Traveller's Aid will have all the information needed and can notify workers in other cities to arrange for help In changing trains and meeting relatives. It’s no fun tot the kids to be lost in a strange, bewildering, railroad station, and if they've so scared they forget where they’re going It's not easy for others to help them.

Calif. 0 * COUNTY AGENTS *1 | COLUMN | Rye Pasture Dairymen, wherever possible, should provide rye pasture to offset higher prices for dairy feed* during the fall and winter, points out G. A. Williams. Purdue University extension dairyman. This crop extend* the pasture season several weeks In the fall and shortens the stalde feeding period again In the spring. Many dairymen are finding the Balbo variety a great Improvement over the ordinary kind as It make* rapid growth and produces a higli percentage of leaves Grazing may be continued right up to milking time with much less danger of producing off-flavors in the milk. Those who grow sudan gras* for summer pasture may utilize this same acreage to produce a crop of rye. Williams citea the example of Don Hammond of Cass county, who ha* followed this plan on the same field for eight successive years. The field near the barn is handy when a tew extra load* of manure can be spared but according to the owner he I* making more milk per acre since starting this practice than he ever produced before, with no worry a bout bloat. Good pastures are the cheapest source of feed. It co*t* approximately four times a* much to grow 100 pound* of total digestible nutrients in the form of harvested crop* as when the cow can get her dally need* in the form of succulent grass. One-half of one acre per cow will shorten the winter feeding period and lower the yearly coat of producing milk. oFeather Comfort* A standard feather bed has the "makings" ot 10 or 12 comforts. They make fine lightweight covers, and it doesn’t take nearly as muck work to make tl comfort as it takes to make a quilt. Furthermore, the cost is just what you pay for the covering and the thread.

U. $. Colonization Os Moon Suggested Recommendation Os Rocket Society Head Chicago, Aug. 27—(UP)- R- J* Farnsworth said today the 1 nited State* should step lively and occupy the moon If It want* to be the No. 1 power of the atomic Farnsworth, president of the United States Rocket Society. Inc., said that the ’power that controls the moon will for many age* control the far-flung trade i of the solar system.” The moon, with its mineral deposits. would lie a ’'valuable prize in itself.” he said. And because of its slight gravitational pull, it might "very likely" become a shuttle station for flights to Mars. Venus and other planet*. The only thing keeping him from sending an atomic rocket to the moon. Farnsworth said, is money. He said It would cost 1350.000. Not only will the moon become the key to Interplanetary trade, he said, but It may Income a matter of military necessHy. The power that holds the moon, he said, will lie able to Itomb any point on the earth's surface. "The German V-2 rocket which devastated Britain during the war achieved a velocity of I>s miles per second." he said. "This is the escape velocity from the moon. This means that with rockets already In existence the power holding the moon would lie able to Itomb any point on earth with impunity. Factorie* and rocket installations on the moon could be protected from counter-bombardment from the earth, he said, by placing them on the side of the moon never seen from the earth. Farnsworth said the rocket society of which he is president has a nationwide membership of 1 000. After years of experimentation with the technical problems of moonward rockets, he said, he has turned his attention to the commercial and military aspects. He said he could build a mancarrying rocket within two years, if he had the money. "Think ot the benefits that will accrue to the American businessman and to the American people if we Americans are first on the moon," he said. "Here at our cosmic doorstep, now atomically available, la a trove of riches more vast than those ever conceived of by explorers of the past. "The moon is an unmined world. On the moon, power can well lie the cheapest thing available. Untempered by an atmosphere. the moon receives the unbridled energies of the sun.” He said the moon might make an ideal health reaort. and cited the possibility of founding an observatory on the moon to forecast the earth’s weather.

Three More Shipping Firms End Dispute Release 300 Seamen For Return To Work Detroit. Aug. J?—(UP)—Three more Great Lakes shipping firms settled their dispute with the National Maritime Union (CIO) today, releasing seven strike: bound tankers and 300 seamen for immediate return to work. The agreement with the Cleveland Tankers, Inc.. Oreat Lakes transport of Detroit and the lake tankers of New York calls for a 48-hour week at sea and 44 hours In port, plus slightly increased overtime rates. Settlement of the dispute with the three firms left approximately 4,<m seamen still out on strike and about 90 ships still tied up. according to the NMU. Spokesmen for the shippers said only 30 ships were strikebound. .The NMU said negotiations were not being carried on with any other shipping firms, hut several had been contacted. It declined to elaliorate on the statement. The nnlon promised to press charges against a ship's captain and two other persons accused of shooting at pickets. Capt. A. C. McLean, his son. William, and Roy Johnson were released on bond last night after questioning about the shooting. They were taken Into custody on complaint of Theodore R. Racchi and Raymond J.

Flying Instruments Aid Polio Victims ■M» Great Advance In Fight On Disease Minneapolis. Minn., Aug. 27— (UP)— High altitude flying instruments developed during the war by the army air forces are being used In treating person* stricken with bulbar poliomyelitis In Minneapolis’ polio epidemic, it was learned, today. Dr. Maurice Vlsscher. University of Minnesota professor of physiology, said the devices were "proving very useful In the control of therapy in the respiratory polio cases.” University hospital officials said the new treatment was Hie greatest single advance in W year* in the fight against polio. Bulbar polio Is regarded a* the | roost severe type of the disease It affects the stem of the brain, usually destroying respiratory nerve connection* leading to the i ackbone. Patients have difficulty speaking, swallowing and breathing and often die from suffocation. Nearly 15 percent of the 1.654 persons stricken with polio in Minnesota's epidemic developed the bulbar variety. After a numIter of them had died, physicians stumbled onto a process developed by the army air forces at Wright Field. Dayton. O. They found that pressure breathing equipment was helpful In treating many cases. The process involve* opening a hole In the windpipe Just below the "adam's apple" and feeding a mixture of pressurized oxygen and helium into the lung* through a tube. - —■ "0 Hospital Capacity Both governmental and nongovernmental hospitals showed a slight increase in bed capacity last year, the governmental group reporting 1,358,718 or 78 per cent of all beds, the nongovernmental hospitals 382,228 or 22 per cent. The federal hospitals which expanded rapidly during the war had a net loss of 4,791 beds compared with 1944.

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX IN THE MORNING Charlo called her mother. "Mind if I give a little cocktail party at your house this afternoon? You’re invited, of course! I haven’t seen anyone for auch ages!’’ Whatever Mary Patten felt she kept out of her voice. She said, matter-of-factly, “Go ahead, darling. Tell Nettie to have cold chicken and a salad ready to serve afterwards. Get anything you need at Harrington’s and charge it to me. I'll try to get home a little earlier tonight I’m all pfcked-up at the prospect . . Charie was, herself. She telephoned next to Blink. She did not care If Mrs. Riggs was listening. ’’Well, at last!’’ cried Blink over the wire. “Ive been truly, awfully busy, Blink. I’ve meant to call you every day and then something popped up. . . . Blink, can you coms to Mother’s this afternoon for cocktails? Oh. It’s terribly Informal—l just Bt the Idea myself an hour ago! 11l you call the others for me? . . . Yes, of course, I want you to ask Ollie!” She flew beck to the third-floor room, hastily put It in order. She must get over and Into a huddle with Nettle. . . . She’d take her aew dress and her toilet things in a bag. Why hadn't she done things like this before, she asked of heraelf. She went out to the delicatessen and bought some cold meat and potato salad for Trent’s supper. She wrote a tittie note to leave for him. “Darling, I've gone to Mother’s. Fve asked some of the gang to come there for cocktails thia afternoon and they'll probably hang around, so I’ve fixed your supper for you. See you later." She propped the note conspicuously on Trent’s desk. For a moment she had a funny empty feeltag, thinking of Trent running up the stairs, calling to her and then finding thia. But he hadn’t run or called, last night. . . . Probably he’d be glad to bo alone. She said that to Nettie, later In her busy day. Nettle said. "So < you’ve got to have your good times by yourself?" And she answered, •Mr. Renner's working. It’s very special work.

She drove somewhere with a friend of hers who camo for dinner last night.” Nell Winslow. Charie left the telephone, curious and a little disturbed. Wherever had they gone? She decided swiftly that she would say nothing about it to her mother.... And it wasn’t as crazy as though she’d gone off somewhere with Cole Giddings! She had told Blink half-past five but her guests-and Blink hod rounded up quite a few—came even earlier. Blink hugged her. "Honestly, Char, you don’t know bow awfully I felt, not seeing you all this time or oven bearing from you!” The other reproached her, too. OlUo said, when ho came in, "Will someone introduce mo to this stranger?" Then he kissed her. Charts had again her exciting sense of homecoming. It had been like this, other times. Her friends rushing in to welcome her return, gathering noisily around her. Blink on one side of her, Ollie Kingdon on the other, hla arm through hers. Her mother’s smile on them all, when she came in, was part of the pleasant familiarity. Presently Jack Wynne demanded, "Say, where’s your husband?” “He’s working. Those special stories . . But no one commented on the special stories, and Charlo doubted any one of them had read them. Ollie said, ”1 wouldn’t leave you alone for a minute, if I'd married you!" The. others laughed at that and Charie laughed with them. They stayed and they ata the cold chicken and salad Nettie had prepared and even then showed no inclination to depart Until, inevitably, someone suggested that they all go somewhere where they could dance. Charie demurred. “Some other time—the rest of you go!" They trooped off, all except Ollie Kingdon. "You need a man here,” he said to Mary Patten. And ho fell to work gathering together the ash trays and the glasses that had been left in odd places all over the room, carrying them to the kitchen. To see Ollie so at home in her mother's house was part of the naturalness Charts was feeling. But it vanished when she came downstairs with her bag. ”1 had to help Nettie this morning eo I brought some things to change into," she explained to her mother. She kissed her mother. "Thanks for the party!" "Darling, don’t thank met Do it often—whenever you want to. It gives me a reason for staying In this house!” "it was a swell party,” aaid Ollie, putting his arm affectionately over Mary Patton's shoulders. He stood beside Charie. He moved with her toward the door.
