Medical Science Makes Diabetic's Life Normal

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. NOT so many years ago, a person suffering from diabetes was doomed either to death or a life as a semi-invalid. The diabetic of today, however, can with medical advice and planning, lead a virtually normal life. Insulin and proper diets make the difference. Diabetes is a chronic disease, and if you have it now, you will have it for the rest of your lite. While there is no known cure for it, diabetes can be controlled. And you can control it yourself with your doctor’s guidance. Dietary Restrictions About half of the nation’s more than 1,000,000 known diabetics can manage on dietary restrictions without the use of insulin, providing their weight is normal. Another 30 per cent can easily control the disease with relatively small amounts of insulin. The remaining 20 per cent—usually children and young adults—need both careful control of their diets and'Regulation of Insulin. As I pointed out yesterday, diabetes results becausrof the failure of the pancreas to secrete enough Insulin to convert sugar into body energy. To make up this loss of natural function, It is necessary, in many cases, to supply your body with insulin medically.

Because of numerous recent violations, the drivers have become fearful that this city might soon experience a tragic mishap. The drivers have joined in making a request that ail motorists observe the law and they have asked the assistance ofpolice and the cooperation of all. You won't lose 30 seconds of time B you observe the law and you may avert a terrible child tragedy. -—0 0 Two young ladies, responsible for scores of records and payments of bills by Adams county, receive little credit for the fine service they render the public in the office of County Auditor Frank Kiteon. The first deputy Mrs. Marguerite VonGunten and her assistant Mine Julia Schults have in the short time of their tenure of office done a remarkable job of acquainting themselves with the multitude of work in that office. It is their duty not only to be pleasant to a hurrying public, but also to keep all of the ~ records of the county in ship shape. This they do in an excellent manner. 0 0 Adams county loves high school basketball. This fact is evidenced by the splendid -financial report made this wee» try Oiett CvetwrA Fi—ant Mills high school principal and manager of the 1955 county basketball tourney held recently at Adams Central's great new gymnasium. Each participating team received more than 8569. This is about S6O more than each team received from the 1954 tourney. Thera were 1,718 season ticket holders, the report shows and almost every session was a sellout. The gymnasium seats about 2,300. Jefferson township high school students had charge of the concession stands this year and for doing that work the Jefferson school received $272.50. The balance of the net profit was divided share and share alike among the participating schools. From j-- —w—every standpoint it was perhaps Adams county's greatest county tourney.

This Insulin must be injected with a hypodermic needle, since we have not yet found away to administer it by mouth. Checking the Sugar Before treatment with insulin is begun, however, it is necessary to determine the amount of sugar present tn the blood and urine. By examining urine specimens, taken four Or five times a day and before each meal and at bedtime, your doctor can determine the amount of insulin you will require. ~ , Chemical tablets are available, with color charts, to inform you of the percentage of sugar in your urine. If your doctor decides you need insulin injections, he will show you how to administer them yourself. I’ll have more to tell you tomorrow about the different types of insulin available and the effects they will have upon you. QUESTION AND ANSWER H. 8.: What is the cause of a tingling sensation in the legs? Answer: This may be due to a disturbance in the circulation or in the nervous system. A careful study by the physician would be needed to determine the exact cause. .....

SYNOPSIS

Dr. Fred Beier had cow from St. Louis to the rural community of Jennings. Missouri, where he hoped to ilnd peace in the quiet countryside. And he had found it and contentment, too, serving as the little town's only physician. He was happy in an old-fashioned house with Katie, his wife, an unpretentious young matron, who knew very Well that many a woman cast a covetous eye upon her Fred. Women, for instance, like wealthy, glamorous Mrs. Linda Kyle, who had interested the doctor in her varied charity causes. Now. Linda's immediate concern is the Nienaber family, kindly German refugees who seemed lost and frightened In their new found land. So to humor Linda. Fred rails at the Nienaber home far out in the Valley, where he finds th* wife and mother. Clara Nienaber, a victim of tuberculosis. Despite her bewildered and protesting husband's objecttons, the doctor manages to get the stricken woman to a sanitarium. Pleased with his accomplishment. Fred goes home where happily he tells Katie of his morning's adventure. — CHAPTER SIX ALMOST all of the prosperous citizens of Jennings, the town, owned ranch property out in the Valley. Whether it was five acres or five hundred, every farm of every sort was called a ranch. Those blessed with irrigation raised abundant crops of alfalfa, strange new grasses and grains, or fruit. The more barren ones produced cattie and horses. Fred himself wanted a ranch one day. It would be there that he would build Katie her modern house. That evening he mentioned this project as he helped her into the car and went around it to slide under the wheel ‘’But," he amended, “I will not have a barn bigger than my house—as Willie does.* — "If you want a very big barn, you will,” Katie told him. ''Jessie is smart. She has only enough house for their comfort, and she says it is her ideal to reduce housekeeping to a round zero.” "She talks a lot, does, Jessie.” "No," Katie assured him. ‘lt Is a worthwhile ideal. She is a .good housekeeper, but she knows there are more noble thihgs to do.” “I can’t think of any.” Katie flounced a little in her side of the seat. "Kinder, Kirche . . she murmured, and Ered laughed in assent The Ashley ranch was well into the foothills, and after they had crossed the river, and begun the ascent, Fred stopped the car and pointed back at the town as it lay

in the cup of the Valley. “Is it not beautiful, Katie V’ he asked. "The mountains, the river, the rooftops, all silver!” She nodded. “But then, everything locks beautiful by moonlight,” she reminded him. Fred leaned forward to search her face. “Don’t you think it is beautiful, Katie?” She pressed his arm. “Os course I do. I—-I— Oh, you know part.es make me a little nervous." "A party at Willie’s!” "Any party, i go stiff. I won’t be as well-dressed as the other women . . ." “Why won’t you be? You always look beautiful to me, my Katie.” "Yes, Fred. I believe you- wksw you say so. But—just the same — Oh, I can’t explain, and maybe I shouldn’t try to point such things out to you. But I’m not smart in the way—oh, that Mrs. Kyle is smart. And tonight Jessie will be lovely without wearing anything very different from what I wear—only— And then, they are all older than I am!” "Because I married a child.” He started the car. "It was a mistake, She cuddled against his arm, instantly contrite. "You know better than that, Fred. And, at heart, I love being allowed to go to your sort of party. I mean, among your friends. From What I see of the folks of my own age here in town, I would certainly not fit in with them!” “Nor would I” he chuckled. "Fred,” she said swiftly, "I am so grateful that you would marry me.” For a minute he did not speak. Then he asked, in a troubled way, "Grateful, Katie?” "Because you are so wonderful: you could have married anyone! And when you chose me ...” He nodded. "Os course! That is a good reason for gratitude.” He was oppressively pompous, and she laughed. "And the poor heiresses, the famous actresses —all left desolate," he teased. “Just the same,” she defended herself, "that’s what makes me able to face these parties at all. I see all the women admiring you, and I sit back in the corner and watch, and 1 can say to myscll,

The escape was made in Freeman's car. Freeman and the waitress said they were forced to register in a motel along Ind. 67 south of Muncie and that the bandit bound them with towels and drove off. T Freeman's car was reported recovered today in an Ipdianapolis supermarket parking lot, bearing out Freeman’s story that the man spoke of visiting the Hoosier capital city and continuing to California. Earlier, the couple said the kidnaper took them to a cemetery and fired one shot each from a fully-loaded .45 automatic and a fully loaded .38 revolver but miss ed. Then he took them to the motel.

‘He’s mine. I’m the one who will go home with him!” ‘‘Well —” He slanted a blue eye at her. “Remind me never to call you mouse’ again.” The party was in full swing, a dozen guests stood or sat about the big, and rather bare, living room. It was the usual crowd— Mirandy Bell, the Peakes, Paul Gentry and his Dresden-doll wife, the Askews and the Terrells —the usual ones, except that Linda Kyle and Theo were not there. Someone said significantly that Theo was “not well.” Theo drank —no ohe said so, everyone knew it. Linda sometimes attended parties without him. Tonight, she was not present. But it was a good party. Fred was given the last cocktail in ths shaker. “There’s only melted ice left,” Willie assured him. They ate and talked, and ate again—and drank quite a bit, too, some of them. Katie helped where she could. The crowd had conge to lean upon Katie’s help at parties, and she really liked doing it She had a knack of keeping the carafe filled with hot coffee, or tidying up used dishes . . . Jessie, the hostess,hugged her shoulders appreciatively on one of their trips to the kitchen. Such a kitchen as Katie dreamed of having. Pale yellow floor and counter tops—cupboards, and cupboards, and cupboards! “Fred’s in form tonight,” said Jessie. "These parties relax him,” Katie agreed, contentedly. Back in the living room, Katie took her cup of coffee to the couch and, wide-eyed, watched the group before the fire. Suddenly Mirandy clutched her hat from her head, threw it on the floor and jumped oijit In the process lost her balance and sat down very hard, with the men's laughter drowning her profanity. r “I’m ruined," she told Fred, who helped her to her feet. "Stop it,” he told her. “Co sit down and behave yourself. And do what I say, shut up!” Mirandy rolled an eye at him. "I love you,” she cooed. He glanced' across at Katie, his blue eyes sparkling to see her smile of pride and satisfaction. (To Be Continued) JEjtgt

Navy Believes Chinese Subs Pose Danger Red Submarines Recently Acquired From Soviet Russia WASHINGTON (INS) — Navy headquarters indicated strong belief today that Chinese Communist submarines recently acquired from Russia may pose a danger to the powerful V. S. naval forces guarding Formosa in the Far East. A spokesman said there is good reason for believing that the Chinese Reds have German-type U--boats, even though the identity of these has not been pinned down and no submersibles are listed In the Communist fleet. Except for the possibility that a submarine might slip through the U. S. seventh fleet's defenses, navy headquarters remained confident that the American armada can avoid serious damage to its warships in /ny encounter with the Reds. The Communist's surface fleet, atthuogh sizable by Asiatic standards, contains no vessels that could stand up in battle with American cruisers or destroyers. The U. S. fleet’s four largo aircraft carriers with air force help from Okinawa appear capable of providing adequate protection from Communist air attacks. The belief that the Red fleet has submarines is based partly on inclusive sightings, but more on the fact that the Russians are definitely known to have been training Chinese submarine crews since 1952. The spokesman said it would be illogical to suppose that the Soviets had spent two years turning out Red submarines without providing them with vessels. In addition, submarines fully manned by Chinese have been sighted off Tsingtao and Port Arthur. From the amount of training that has been given, the navy believes the Chinese now may have Six or eight submarines. The Communists are known to hav-e between 40 and 50 motdrtorpedo boats, nut -these presumablywotffd have little chance of getting close enough >o sink an American warship. The Chinese Reds are estimated to have 400 or more warplanes at bases in Shanghai. Hanchow and Ntagpo. all .capable of reaching the Tachen islands area Vthtere operations are expected. Against the Red air fleet, each of the four large U. S. aircraft carriers has at least 75 planes. American air bases on Okinawa are close enough to directly support the naval air, and can be reinforced when necessary from japan and the Philippines. Although the Communist fleet is usually described as consisting of junks and sampans, it includes eight Japanese-built frigates rang,mr from SlO to more than 1,000 tons. These carry from two to four 4.7-inch guns. The 50 U. S. destroyers in the Seventh Fleet are from two to three times as large as the Chinese frigates, and carry five-inch guns of considerably greafbr range. The six U. S. cruisers in the area mount eight-inch batteries. _ ... j Criminologist Ends Murder Case Probe To Give Findings After Lab Tests CLEVELALND (INS) — Dr. Paul Kirk, University of California criminologist, packs upjijs scientific equipment and heads back to the west coast today after a fourday investigation of the Marilyn Sheppard murder case. The prominent criminologist, who said Tuesday night that he "found a few things'' in his short investigation. will disclose his findings to chief defense counsel William Corrigan after making laboratory tests in California. Before going over exhibits and other evidence collected by Cleveland police. Dr. Kirk interviewed convicted wife - killer Dr. Sam Sheppard for more than an hour at his county Jail cell. Dr. gam is awaiting the, out.-. come of his appeal of a second degree murder conviction and life sentence. His attorneys are hoping Dr. Kirk will uncover something that help him gain a new trial. Dr. Kirk said he made an extensive investigation of the suburban Bay Village home where Marilyn Sheppard was bludgeoned to deat|jJast July 4th. He declared: "My assumption in coming here was that a lawyer who did not have confidence in the innocence of his client would not have sought me out to make a completely impartial investigation. "I • can't be bought. I'm not sorry 1 looked into this case."
