Overproduction of Insulin Is Often As Serious As Diabetes

By HERMAN N. BUKDESEN, M.D. MANY people now know that a gland in the body.called the pancreas. can be a cause of diabetes if it does not function properly. When the cells of the pancreas do not give off enough insulin, the cells throughout the body cannot utilize the sugar that is eaten to furnish energy. However, sometimes' the pani ereas forms little tumors and overproduces the amount of insulin given off. This can be as l serious as diabetes, for top much Insulin can be harmful. Usually, these tumors of the cells of the pancreas occur in persons between the ages of thirty to seventy yean. Symptoms of Shock People thus affected complain of fainting and weakness in the morning and following heavy work. They may show the symptoms of shock with very low blood pressure, weak pulse and pallor. At times, these shock attacks may become severe enough even to cause death. This weakness and fainting become gradually more severe and more frequent. These people usually recover after taking some sugar or glucose, such as eating a candy bar. Tn persons with this condition, t test of the blood when the per-

The state of Indiana intends to bid on some of the merchandise, Which can be used only In educational institutions and hospitals. The inventory includes furniture, hospital equipment and clothing. The government has huge storages of all sorts of merchandise and it is wise to distribute part of the surplus, for it can be used in our under-equipped state institutions. ' o—o The French inability to form a government is almost chronic. Yet it is not go bad as it sounds. After all, even though a ministry has been voted out, France is not without a government. The permanent officials remain, and the ministers who have been rejected continue to function until their successors are chosen. Necessary appropriations are passed by agreement, and France gets along. She cannot, however, take any decisive steps. Routine matters are handled, but no agreements can be made which are sure of being carried out. This. state of affairs will continue until the French get over their fear of a strong government. —-o—o—• ■ ; ■ Jeff er soli's Home:— Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson, now preserved as a monument, is to be renovated at a cost of $250,000. Walls will be waterproofed, the building will be reinforced structurally arid a central heating system will be installed. Work will be under the supervision of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation. Monticello is a beautiful old building. Jefferson loved it and all through the last years of his, public service he dreamed of returning there. He designed the • <4 house himself aud its stands as .a tribute to his versatility. It is good to see that this historic house is being well cared for * and will be. preserved for the generations of Americans who will find inspiration in visiting the home of the man who did so mudh ■to shape our democracy.

son hce not eaten for eight hours reveals a much lower amount ol sugar present in the blood than is normal. If this disease is allowed to progress without treatment, the low blood pressure and symptoms of shock that accompany it may cause permanent darrtage to the brain. Most Not Cancerous Most of these tumors are not cancerous and, therefore, if taken care of early enough and properly, the person can, as a rule, lead a normal life. There is no medicine to treat tiie little tumors of this type in the panereas. UsuaJly, the person is operated on and the tumors can be readily seen in the pancreas and easily removed. The person normally remains free from symptoms once this has been done. QUESTION AND ANSWER ? Mrs. P. N.: Is penicillin taken by mouth as effective as when it is given by injection? Answer: It has been shown that penicillin given by injection usually produces a higher and more rapid concentration of the drug in the blood to fight the Infection. However, if the drug is given in large enough dosages by mouth, it is usually effective agalMtthe germ, sensitive to It.

SYNOPSIS The c I fc h t guest -passengers aboard the yacht Spintus' out of Nassau. Eaharias. are gripped by terror when 4 shot is Bred Ln the night and their host old owner of the craft, wealthy, eccentric Darius Opdyke is reported missing from the vessel. Sardonic old Jonas the ship's captain, assembles his passengers in the salon, advising their that! Opdyke had a premonition of meeting with foui play on the voyage. and had consequently left his will Ln Jonas keeping. The document deirees that the "Spjritnr' continue along her course toward South America tor seven days, by the end of ivhich period Mr. Opdyke had believed his killer would be revealed. Eagle-eyed Stewardess Macbeth is placed in charge of the women and she watches over them like a Jailor. CHAPTER EIGHT THE rest of the night stretched out interminably. From time to time the men tramped past the salon as they went to and fro on their search. I shuddered when I heard them, reminded of a firing squad. Gay Walton had asked Mrs. Macbeth to bring up her evening bag, a flat golden case, from which she extracted comb, powder, and an enormous lipstick. She fid’ died with them for a while, then went to the ladies* room to “put her face on again.” When she came out with a complete new make-up, she seemed calmer, almost drowsy. Carlotta Redding was now the restless one, pacing the room with catlike strides, staring out of the dark portholes, stretching herself with feline thoroughness. « “I think the Captain is insane,” she said, and no one contradicted her, although out guard, Macbeth, pursed her lips disapprovingly. •’Perhaps he did the shooting himself,” I said—a most indiscreet remark. Lisa” Tremaine had sent for her knitting, and worked ors it spasmodically, when she was not tying back in her chair with her eyes shut as if she wanted to shut out distasteful reality! As for me, I just sat there and tried not to think about Bobs. It was the first time 1 had been separated from him, even for a day. He was such a cheerful baby, I wondered if he missed me. me, Lisa spoke quietly without opening her eyes. “It’s horrible for you, isn’t it, my dear?” •> ! • The unexpected sympathy almost made a monkey of me, and I could not answer.

Five-Mile Area In Green County Is I W hipped By Storm LYONS, Ind. UP —Violent winds and rain whipped through a five-! mile area near this Green County cohimunity Tuesday night, blowing down trees, drowning chickens and leaving a 13-year-old farm youth injured by a bolt of lightning. William Dyer, Worthington, was the . only injury reported in the freak storm. He was struck by lightning while working with his father, Merl, in a field about’ 10 miles north of here. He was reported in good condition. Roads were swamped by rhin, and an auto, tractor and shed Were damaged by falling trees. Terre Haute reported .69 inches of rain and winds up to 40 miles an hour and Clinton had a severe thunderstorm. Jolly Juniors Members of the Preble Jolly Juniors met recently at the Magley recreation center, with the meeting opening with the pledges. Ro}l call; was answered, and the discussion was led by the\ president. The special feature was a safety talk by Linda Kruetzmam A baking demonstration was given by the group, and refreshments were then served.

The Spiritus nosed on in a blind circle, barely moving through the thick hot night. The Captain nad said that he did not want to leave the area before dawn, in case daylight might show something which had been missed before. Dawn came, and the sea was blank as usual. Soon after, iwe were all ordered to the i after Well deck, to hear Captain Jonas read the burial service. We stood there in a nuddle, afraid to look at each other or at the Captain. Behind us the crew had been assembled, the oilers, Known as the “black gang,” and the sailors too; Their scowling faces did not look any better by day than they had at night. They kept their eyes on the deck, but they seemed as uneasy as we were at this funeral without a corpse, and their bare feet scuffled surreptitiously.: : Jonas had taken pains tp spare us nothing. The bulwark of the deck had been unhooked and laid back, and covered with an American flag. At the proper time in the service, two sailors took the corners of the flag, and the transom was tilted as if to let a body slide into the sea. I could not imagine why he went to such macabre lengths unless it was in the hope of breaking one of us down. Sleepless, unwashed, still in the motley costumes in which we had rushed on deck the night before, the Captain gave us no peace. As soon as the imitation funeral was over, he signaled to the bridge, the bridge to the engine room, and thi> yacht took up her journey again to a destination of which only he' was certain. Then be summoned us back to the salon to inform us as to the results of the search. They were not spectacular. Mr. Opdyke's gold-mounted revolver; which both Randolph and Todd had seen on board, was missing. The Captain had a Colt automatic from which one bullet! had been fired. He looked amused rather than disconcerted when it' was mentioned. .“My Hezekiah fired at a sea gull yesterday.” \ “That's two murder weapons,” said Carlotta’s throaty voice. “Were there more?” Larry stopped staring at his own great hands, spread out on his knees. “That’s all.” “Are you sure?” : Larry shook his head like a tor-

mented bull. “Os course I’m sure What are you getting at, Carlotta?” Carlotta gave him a sleepy sqiile, but 1 thought there was a touch of cruelty in it. “Nothing. Why . are you so upset?” The Captain stopped any quarrel which might be making upby producing a scrap of torn blue pepei which had been found : on Gay Walton a floor. He read from it, “You'll find ... under your pillow ... use it unless you have to ...” Then ne passed it around for us to see. Gay looked at it and bit. jher lip. Ot ail the passengers she most showed the strain of a sleepless night. Her heart-shaped face was dead white underlie and her eyes looked as if they pad been smudged in with a “1 tore up some letters jast night, and threw the pieces out of the window. This must have blown back. That's what 1 was doing in'my cabin all evening.” •Tearing up letters?” Robert asked. •Tearing up letters,” Gay aaid positively. I “Perhaps that is why you objected to being searched ?” j ; “1 didn’t want to be searched because 1 didn’t want to fbe searched, that’s why. 1 can’t bear having Strangers paw over Kiny things. You wouldn’t understand that, I suppose. I am not hiding anything. What have 1 got to hide? Why pick on me?”. Frederick Brown introduced a new worry. , “Since we are all equally under suspicion,” he began, “and since we are all equally interested in seeing justice done, I suggest! we each give an account of ourselves during yesterday evening.” [fti “We ought to question the steward and -stewardess first,” Randolph said, almost too quickly. | C “Quite right,” Robert murmured. Mt will save so much trouble ! if IFe know what they have to say about us before we tell air Stories." |.b •/ We turned to Todd, who was Still with us by the Captain’s order, but his faee went blank as if pls m|nd had slammed its doors.
