HOME HEALTH CLUB
By DIR. DAVID H. REEDER, La Porte, Indiana

DIABETES-It is generally believed that diabetes is a disease of the kid ney. It is not, but it is a dangerous disease that affects and thus involves the kidneys even to the extent of often diseasing them dangerously.
 Sugar produced elsewhere in the body is excreted by the kidneys which frrttates those organs to the secre- tion of uprine in such quantities that the enormous increase of their work, long-continued, overstrains them, weakens and causes them to fail, whereupon Bright's disease is superin- duced,
 Thus it will be seen that while dia- betes is not a kidney disease it may bring about kidney disease. Diabetes is simply sugar in the urine is in evi- dence originally of disease elsewhere in the body.
 Over-eating, crowding the functions Of the liver to such an extent that 1t cannot do it's work entirely. will cause diabetes. Pancreatec is an inf1ama- ton of the pancreas, a gland of the abdomen. that resembles bunch of grapes - hence racemoSe - commonly called the sweetbread, is another fre- Quent cause of diabetes. and tun1or of the brain is another cause.
 The pancreas secretes a part of the
  empties into the blood secretion that neutralizes sugar in the blood and rem ders 1t harmless. When this secre- tion is not sufficient to ueutralize the sugar in the blood and Kidneys carry it off so long as the quantity Is not too great to be thus handled. Other wise diabetes sets in with the results mentioned.
 When diabetes is caused by high living a sensible way to stop it is to quit eating so much and of such rich food. Thus the disease is rendered of little consequence by proper and temperate living. Then it will not ones life, more than the usual wear and tear.
 The cases of diabetes caused by the failure of the pancreatic glands to per- form their work, are much more dan gerous, and require skillful, careful, and long-continued medical treatment that in the nature of things cannot be detailed here. But any case of this kind that comes to the notice of read CTS of the Home Health Club depart ment, will be taken up by us, with out fee, and simple, practical methods of home treatment will be suggested to the patient through corresponde denee.
 These papers frequently mention the fact that any afflfction not treatable here, because of the fact that 1t would be impractical by reason of lack of general interest, the case will be look ed after, freely and without charge, upon application to the Home Health Club at it's headquarters.
 In a general way diabetes is more dangerous because of it's promotion of complications than in itself as a dis ease. When it helps a cold to develop into pneumonia; when it makes case of tuberculosis from an exposure that would not otherwise have afrected any healthy person; when it makes a car b,1ncle from an ordinary. boil--and it often does these things-are circuna-

WILSON IS KEPT
 BUSY WITH
 DAILY CONFERS


 Sea Girt, N. J., July 9-The sum- mer capital, that has been the high light on the Democratic map since the Baltimore convention, today sub- sided into a mere Jersey coast town again when Governor Wilson at ,s:S0 o'clock left in an automobile for Trenton to transact State business. Since coming to the Little White House" for the summer, the Cover nor has gone each Tuesday to Tren ton and returned at night to Sea Girt.
 On this trip, he intended to be gone until tomorrow night or possibly Thursday. This afternoon, he has an appointment to meet Samuel Com pers and other members of the exe- cutive council of the American Fed eration of Labor, who asked con- ference to learn Governor Wilson's ideas on labor. On an evening train, Governor Wilson planned to go to Atlantic City where tomorrow, he is scheduled to lay cornerstne and address the national convention of building and loan associations.
 While in Trenton, it was said to be probable that Governor Wilson would consult with other Democratic leaders on the problem of the national chairmanship, following his confer ences of last night with Senator Gore of Oklahoma, and Chairman Norman E. Mack of Buffalo. After the de- parture of Gore, who confidently pre- dicted a sweeping Democratic victory under Wilson's leadership, it was said the old custom of having two chairu men, one at the head of the national committee, and one as the chairman of the campaign committee.

Miss Brown was giving an elaborsts description of a blacksmith preparn- tory to teaching Longfeilow's poem to her pupils:
 "Now, children, we are going to learn a poem today about some one wh0 works very hard. He is very large and has great arms that can lift such heavy things. His face is blackeped with soot that comes from his grent blazing fires. And he wears a dirty black apron, and he has fire that glows, oh, so red. and whenever hs makes anything he puts 1t into bis nr9 and then pounds it with a great biz hammer. which makes the loudese changing noise and makes the sparks fly about in every direction. Now. who can tell ge what have been de- scribing?''

Society of Poisoners.

Arsenic has perhaps been more ire quently used than any other poison for criminal purposes. It has been proved identical with the wonderful elixir of the seventeenth century, when secret poisoning became so frequent in Italy. Then young widows were abundant in Rome, and most of the unhappy marriages were speedily dis solved by the death of the husband. A secret society of young matrons was discovered. which met at the house of La Spara, reputed witch, who sup piled them with slow. tasteless, col orless poison, carefully calculated to kill a husband in just the time that suited the purchaser. La Epara and thirteen of her companions were hanged. large number of the culprtts were whipped half naked through the streets of Rome, while others of the highest rank escaped with heavy fines and punishment.

Coal and the Arts.

An intimate connection between coal and the arts is seen in the career of Thomas Britton, the celebrated ''mu- sical small coal man." Over his coal shop in Jerusalem passage, Clerken' well, he established in 1878 musical club. where every Thursday for nearly forty years was held concert, at which Handel and all the greatest mu- sicians of the day performed. To a love of music Britton joined a knowl- edge of bibliography. which brought him into contact with Harley, earl of Oxford. and other collectors. But he continued until his death in 1714 to sell coal in the streets of London and would frequently join his noble pa irons on book hunting expedition at tired in his blue smock and with the coal sack he had been carrying all day over his arm.-London Chronicle.

Flew York, July 9-Spurred by the fear that no child is safe while the degenerate, who fouiiy outraged and murdered little 12 year old Julia Con- ncrs cn upper srd avenue. Sunday nfmht. is at large. additional police and detectives were ordered, today. to search for the murderer. They ad- u5fttediy have no clue. The suspects who were arrested as the result of the stories told by Lawrence Molz, chtid companion of the slain girl. have Afi been released as investigation prgved that the Molz girl did not tell the truth.
 In one of the cheap moving picture houses on upper srd avenue, three children were found who gave a good description of a man who offered them money to go with him, last Mon day. The detectives consider this. the most promising clue so far and are working hard to locate the individual.
 Meanwhile. all mothers have been warned against allowing their chil- dren fo roam the streets unprotected. The fact that the murderer Of the Connors girl knew of the vacant flat to which he took her is considered by the authorities as an indication that he was a resident of the neighborhood

CLUB NOTES.

Dear Doctor:
 I have a lump on the top of my hand, nearly on my wrist, about the size of a nickel. It is buiged out like marble and seems solid like a bone. Doctor said it was due to a strain. am 15 years old. !
 READER.
 The lump is undoubtedly what is known as a Ga.nglion or weeping sinew. It is a fibrous sack contain ing watery or jelly-like fluid and may cause pain and even weakness. A simple way to get rid of them is breaking them by a sharp blow. The patients wrist being hexed over? the operators knee. have cured many cases by placing the wrist and hand on a book and over the lump another book, giving 1t a smart blow. After tract may be applied and bandage worn for a few days. f Dear Doctor:
 What is acetanilide and what is the evil effects when used in Laxative Cold Tablets or headache waters? What is the cause of severe 1eg-ache in children from Six to ten years of age? Is it due to over-e1ercise?
 CONVOY.
 Acetanilde is a dangerous poison and [ do not recommend it's use. Avoid all remedies that contain 1t Or any other poisons. They are unnecessary and always dangerous. This poison is especially dangerous in cases of r,hthisis It is a. white crystalline, sol Id, produced by boiling aniline and glacial acefic acid together for several hours. The crystalline mass Is then distilled, Legache in children is usually due to over exercise and bad dietetic habits. I have seen an anxious mother start on a mile walk with a child aged 3 years, holding the child by the hand. She would walk rapidly and the child would have to run as fast as it's short legs would permit and still 1t would laE behind, get scolded and jerked for not hurrying. As soon as the run of a mile was ended the child was treated to ice cream, candy and fruits, and yet the mother could not under stand why her child was not strong and rugged like my boys are. She does not realize her cruelty and call ed me a crank when I told her the truth about her own errors. She thinks it cruel to deny children any, thing or put them to bed as soon as the lights are needed in the house. Give your child a rest; a nap after dinner and go to bed not later than 6:S0 at evening; give wholesome food at meal time and if anything between meals let it be fruit. The leg ache will disappear.
