Thursday, December 1, 1938 Diabetes As a young phfslcian I learned to appreciate the fact that dia betes was practically an incurable disease, although, by watching one's diet carefully and not eating foods that would be ultimately converted Into sugar in the lab oratory of the body, it was pos sible to stand off the Angel of the Darker Brink for many, many years. Children and young per sons suffering from this disease pfesented serious problems and the death rate was unusually high among this class. In elderly people a rigid diet helped ma terially in keeping them alive, but as a rule they died long be fore their time. Heavy eaters among those past middle life were prone to this infirmity, Jews and Italians being especially subject to its ravages.

C. there was always a large per centage to be found victims of diabetes. There are more female than male diabetics. Insulin Due to Dr. Banting of Canada and a second-year medical stu dent named Best, who worked with him, insulin, made from the pancreas of animals sometimes called the sweetbreads —the gland which secrets it—was discovered, and today the diabetic, once help less against this scourge, may by using insulin properly, prolong his life indefinitely. By a series of trial diets and examinations, the physician is able to ascertain tolerated by the patient. By ad hering to the quantity of food specified by the doctor and the administration of insulin, hypo dermically and usually given by the patient himself, many cases yielded to treatment and the suf ferer became sugar free and nor mal again and stops using this drug. In the more difficult cases, however, insulin must be resorted to continually, but in reality it causes the patient little difficulty or inconvenience. To carry on the preliminary THE ELKIN TRIBUNE. ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA work in this study, Dr. Banting sold his instruments and furni ture, gave up his practice and de voted his time to solving the problem, aided by the medical student who flipped a coin" with another student to see who would become the doctor's assistant. I, like thousands of doctors, can testify to the efficacy of in sulin and have had hundreds of cases now alive as a result of this medicine, who before its discov ery would have been in their graves. Tried Him With a Daisy Little Angela rushed Into the house sobbing as though her heart was breaking. "Why, what's the matter, dar ling?" asked her mother. "Oh, mother," said the little girl, beginning to cry again, "God doesn't love me." "Of course He does," her mother said. "What ever makes you think He doesn't. He loves everybody." "No, He doesn't," the child per sisted. "He doesn't love me. I know He doesn't. I tried Him with a daisy." Stranger In Town By Sarah lane Clark JIM saw Joan first as she stopped in at Du Vall's grocery. "Mother wants a T-bone steak, the kind she always gets, and a pound of bacon." Her voice was that delightfully husky kind. Jim, having finished his purchase, got out his money slowly, counted up the amount of his purchases and looked over his change carefully be fore he pocketed it She looked like a grand girl. He wished be knew her. But he was a stranger in the big city, and he'd have to wait Couldn't rush things with a girl like that And perhaps she had a boy friend already. Un consciously he slowed down at the corner of his apartment building. Stupid, to have to eat all alone, the night before Christmas. Jim turned to look back at the store he had just left and found that the girl had overtaken him. "Hello, there, you going my way?" he asked. "I'm a stranger here, and it's mighty lonesome at Christmas—" But the girl, with a cool, "Ex cuse me, please," hurried on. Jim's cheeks burned. He hadn't meant to be fresh, really. He turned the corner and entered the doorway of his apartment Then he saw the girl the third time. She was just opening the door and going up the stairs. She lived in the same building with him! He ate his solitary supper in his one - room kitchenette apartment. Then, what was there to do? His first Christmas away from home. His job here was so new that he hadn't dared to ask for time off to go home. Well, he supposed he could go to a show. But when Jim got out onto Dela ware Place he almost changed his mind. A snow had begun to fall, a heavy leisurely snow with big flakes There was a bump and a crash as an armfnl of packages landed oi the sidewalk. that made a thick carpet on the streets and sidewalks, already icy from the drizzle of the afternoon. He hesitated a minute about start ing out on such a night, then think ing of the lonely room he had just quitted, he shrugged his shoul ders and started up the street. With his head down he trudged through the snow, plowing his way with difficulty against the strong wind. Too late he saw a dark figure directly in front of him. There was a bump, and a crash as an armful of packages landed on the sidewalk. Startled, Jim looked into the face of the girl he was thinking about. His face red with embarrassment, Jim picked up her bundles. Strange to say, the girl laughed amusedly. "Why go around barg ing into people this It's just my luck, Christmas eve, to have my bundles all scattered, and," a little ruefully, "some of them broken." "Say, that's a shame. Vou must let me replace anything that's brok en," Jim insisted. "Really I'm aw fully sorry about this. I was fac ing the snow and had my head down. I'll never forgive myself if you don't let me do this last minute shopping with you. I am Jim Sheridan, from Dubuque, working for the Times." "Well, I'm Joan Siegfred. I've been feeling sorry for the way I squelched you a while ago. So I'm glad of a chance to say so." Her eyes were bright and sparkling and her cheeks glowing from the cold. Walking down the busy streets with a pretty girl, replacing Christ mas decorations that had been smashed In the fall, and being al lowed to help put them on the tree later, was a lot better than going to a picture show alone. And when Joan's cheerful, friendly mother asked the homesick lad to have dinner with them next day, Jim felt that he was no longer a friendless stranger in a big city, and that Christmas was a time of peace and good will, after all. ©—WNU Service.
