The body has confirmed the appointment of General George W. Marshall and Madame Perkins, and voted a W-day vacation with pay to Senator Bilbo, the critic states.

Inducing a Patient to Eat

•y Merman N. Bundesen, M. D. FOR yearn many effort* have heeu made to find a cure (or people who drink Ux> much. Many have been employed Persuasion, mental treatment, exercise, drug* to produce vomiting and other* to quiet nerves, have all been u.«ed hut none bus proved universally suceeratal In spite of everything. some people retain their era ring sor 1 alcohol and would anytime, as the; saying goes. “rather drink than, eat." A New Treatment Now we have a promising new i treatment which seem* to owe Its effectiveness to the tact that it make* the alcoholic feel that he would rather eat than drink. Near-j |y half of the patients so treated have been able to give up alcohol at once, without any tapering off.; The new treatment consist* of, injections of insulin Insulin I* aj substance formed in the pancreas.. It vpewds up the body s consump- 1 tian of rags* in the blood stream. j For this reason it has »eea for years now a lite-savor lor dia toeUca, who do not fr.rm enough tn suNn In ’heir own bodws In the normal way Makes Pwttarf Mo-try W baa this Insulin is given ur a Lowry dnaker. he suddenly dte* covers •bow’ hail-aa -hour after the MJt«ttoe that he is tra

Fulton J. Sheen, i Dr. Harry Emerson Fosliek and Dr. Sidney E. Goldstein The boys and girls of that colony may live among themselves, but the para- > dox is that they make their lush - salaries through the box office. 11 Does an actor have to be "bad ' i to b<- "good "? o oHeartfelt sympathies are ex tended to Mrs. Margaret Fields Lambert in her bereavement. The I tragic death of her husband. Rob-1 ert F Lambert, on a highway near Fort Wayne was the eleventh to occur in Allen county since the first of the year and the tenth in the peat ten days. Fate, with all its cruelness has dealt a severe blow to the estimable lady and her 1 hour of sorrow is shared by those whose thoughts are directed her way. 0 o Miss Karlann Striker. Decatur high school junior, stepiied right up and won the Fourth District , Legion Oratorical contest, in com petition with scholars in this area Her many friends are proud of her accomplishment and have every' I confidence that she will lie a ere 1 j ditable contender for the regional 1 honor when the contest is held in | Huntington The young lady’s victory in the district competition won for the local high school the ; Carl Graham trophy, which will find a place on the wall during the I coming year. o——o—"What is the formula for long life?" If this question had been asked of William Williams, NewYork lawyer, he would probably have replied. "Play lawn tennis.' Williams his just died at 85. and he played tennis as lately as last • summer He had been listed among the four eldest active players. one of the others being the I sp-year-old King Gustav V of Sweden. Tennis seems a rather strenuous game for advanced age. or even middle age. President Charles W Eliot of Harvard, and laird Balfour, the British statesman, both played it after 70: but do • tor* in general looked askance at them.

Im satisfied, it blocks out the craving for alcohol. Thus, he Is soon able to break his long established habit of substituting alcohol for food. This in itself I* very Important according to l»r. Leopold Wexberg. ot Washington. U. C.. though it is not the whole story. For though the craving for drink Is temporarily overcome by the Insulin, it is a harder problem to keep the pa- ! tient cured. Diet is Important According to l>r». Stem G. ' Vassaf and Volta R. Hall ot Mass- ■ mhusetta. who treated 43 alco- ' hoiic patient* with insulin, it is important that the diet contain plenty of sugar and fruit juices ; Patients were also given Vitamin , li tablets. It seems generally agreed that the drinker drinks because of a I desire to escaiie from some sort ot | pressure, whether it he worry over home problem*. bu ■‘lneos or j some other form of anxiety. Once the patient becomes aware | of the cause of his anxiety and worry he is better able to root It out and get rid of It. This is not always easy and often requires al yosr or more of study by a payihi-| atrtot However, with the insulin Ueatiueul and temporary twtesf from the craving the patient is often abie to shift hi« attention from the past to a more promising future in any event U -mild op

You're glad You wanted me to fail from the very start. You wanted to believe that no woman on earth knew enough to help you.” "Tog haven’t done much to change my mind." She raised both hands to her »"! never want to see you—” started for the door, but his own hand closed on her arm. "Walt!” He held her in her tracks, while She looked at him out of eyes bright with tears but too startled even for resentment, "Quarreling won't get us anywhere," he said slowly. "What about this Mkdtaon? Who is he?” "CJaribers nephew. Let go of my arm.” Cliff's hand dropped to hta sMe "Where does he St in?" “He manages everything for Claribel—especially the herds of cattle. He's head of the vaqueroa." "He seems to be a trained seal where you're concerned. From what our charming hostess just said, you have plenty of influence with him.” • She frowned. “What about tt? He isn't here.” “But you heard her send a rider to bring him in. You must know someone who will get word to Madison that you're down at , Wade's." "He couldn't possibly arrive before the plane leaves." "It's worth a chance, isn't ft? What have we got to tone?" He half pushed her toward the door. “Try it. And ts the old steam-roller [ comes back, I'll delay things." Hope—even the faint hope that lay tn his words—brought a touch l of color to Janet's cheeks She ran , from the room, and Cliff watched l her hurry down the path.
