In fact they collaborated in wrUtt”,

"The purpose ol the bill is to uiu*

There is no similar bill before the
house at the moment, and the
feminine members of the house av
chary of commenting on such a bill
until they have the text before

says that, while she is in favor of

she thinks the states ought to ac

The Capper bill will provide that

Dr. Copeland, Commenting on the Report That

Bv ROYAI. S. COPELAND, M. I).
United States Senator from New York.
Former Commissioner of Health, Hew York City■
IN a recent report of n great life insurance company appears this
significant statement: “It Is our best judgment that diabetes is
on the increase, in spite of the use of insulin.’’
“But why?’’ you will ask. “Because of the dietary excesses prac

ticed by tha American people.
This report shows that for the first three
months of 1929. the death rate from diabetes
iras in excess of 23 for each 100,000 of the popu

highest percentage of death* ever recorded from
this cause. ....
Overindulgence in food and drink is regarded
as the chief factor in producing the disease.
Hut bore la a comforting statement: “This is
one of the diseases which, among older people,
may be prevented by popular education."
Nature ia more than generous. She Is even
prodigal in bestowing her gifts. She has equipped
the body with organs and parts that are capable
of supplying all the digestive substance* that are
needed by reasonably sensible human beings. She
even prepares for moderate excesses.

a form of rheumatism which grad
ually grew so serious that Uire'
years ago he was confined to im
bed. and 18 months ago he became
paralyzed and was unable to move
hand or foot
Soon after hb misfortune over
took him. Wilder declared that lie
was quite certain that He was be
ing providentially punished because
lie had spent a good portion of his
life in disobedience to an early call
to the ministry.
Although his body was useless, hh
mind was unusually active amt in
the midst of intense sufferings he
maintained a cheerful and hopeful
spirit. Bo firmly did he believe in
divine manifestation in his afflic
tion and so faithfully did he hold
to his religious faith, that his 'vd
stde became a community shrine
Visitors came from distant points
to visit him- Ministers of vary in:
faiths came to sit at his bedside to
talk of their religion and to pray
with "Daddy" Wilder.
When “Dad" finally passed ay
Tuesday night, this entire commun
ity went into mourning. Funeral
services were held at the Bap 1st
