Doctors Find the Cause of Diabetes,

Two Rockefeller Medical Institute phy-
Sicians, Drs. Samuel J. Meltzer and !. s.
Kleiner, assert that they have discovered
tie primary cause OF diabetes, matter
that has puzzled scientists for centuries.
Dextrose, form of sugar less sweet
than cane sugar, found in the tissues OF all
animals, most sweet fruits and berries
grapes, raiSinS, cherries, etc. - is to
blame for diabetes, so the investigators
say.
Extensive experiments by the investi-
gators on live animals showed the reten-
ton in the blood OF dextrose. In diabetes
they found the dextrose content OF blood
higher than normal. Ii escapes through
the kidneys, which, having other func-
tionS to perform, cannot take on additional
services. Thus the disease is formed.
The institute scientists have discovered
that the pancreas, gland extending
transversely from liver TO spleen, distrib-
uting pancreatic juice into the bile duct,
plays an important part in warding of
diabetes.
Formerly surgeons thought by remov-
ing the pancreas they might cure diabe-
tes. Usually ii killed the patient or
brought on "galloping" diabetes.
Two points thus were proved. One
was that surplus of dextroSe does pass
off through the kidneys and, ifcontinued,
ultimately must cause diabetes.
The other was that normal animal
can throw off without harm an occasional
large quantity OF dextrose. Such injec-
tions into dogs after removing the pam
creas, however, resulted fatally-or, at
least, the removal OF the pancreaS did.
The experiment showed that after the
removal of the pancreas there was no
power remaining in the circulation TO rid
itself OF the surplus of dextrose.

Leaves WeakIings To Perpetuate Race.

LCdNNo w ~ ~ PNAAah$
II is said that cherries and raspberries
were not cultivated in England until the
DAYS OF the muct-married menie mon
arch, Henry VIII. Doubtless they were
raised in other lands prior TO this time,
but the chances are that they are COM
paratively modern additions 10 the worlds
regular fruit supply.
The ancient world, indeed, would seem
strange 10 a twentieth century dweller,
not only in the absence OF mechanical
devices, but in the animal and vegetable
world as well. Peacocks had been newly
introduced in Athens in the days OF Peri
cles, and there are indications that few
centuries earlier the common domestic
fowl was unknown in the Mediterranean
world.
The peach, which now survives the
winters OF New England, was then so
tender that if seldom ripened fruit even
in the island of Rhodes, with a Climate
much like that of southern California.
Horses were of small size and pretty uni
form type; the huge draught animal and
the trim racer being alike unknown.
Goats were far more common than cows.
Oranges and lemons were uuheard OF,
and so was sugar, its place being partly
taken by honey. The status OF apples in
that day is uncertain.
However inferior the ancientS were as
breeders OF plants and animals, they had
one point OF superiority in the breeding OF
men. Olden warfare, waged body to
body with cold steel, killed off or en-
slaved the weak and cowardly, and LETT
the brave and strong TO become sires OF
the next generation. Modern warfare,
with long-range guns and siXteen-inch
shells, butchers nations best and brav-
est, and leaves weaklings 10 perpetuate
the race.
II Socrates could make careful study
of Europe just now, would he conclude
that civilization had advanced or retro
graded since his day?

Kangaroo Carries Its Babies In A Pouch.

The kangaroo has always seemed TO
have the monopoly of that convenient
way of carrying its babbies in pouch,
but il has been discovered that fish has
the same useful receptacle, which II uses
for the same purpose. The pipe fish as
il is called, from the length OF its Jaws,
has a pocket on the under side oi its body
nearly half its length. II is found in the
male species only, and is the only part OF
its body which is unprotected by large,
flat plates, which takes the place Of scales
in its protective armor
II a pipe fish is taken from the water
and its little ones shaken out oi the pouch
back into the water, they always seem
either unable or disinclned 10 run away.
But il the father is placed in the water
again, all the small fish Immediately swim
back into the pouch. These curious little
creatures have prehensile tails, which
they use 10 hold on 10 the seaweed TO
prevent themselves being carried away
by the tide. The pipe fish is Similar 20
the small eel, being about foot in length
and an inch in thickness. But, unlike the
eel, il has very long jaw, and the pecu-
liar defensive amor already mentioned.

Indigo A Cholera Cure.

Indigo is stated by J. P. Crumley Of
Placervllle TO be a cure for hog cholera
not only preventive, but actually a cure.
This was discovered by his father is Kan
sas many years ago.
The way if came about was like this.
A horse had the bots badly and an old
lady told Mr.. Crumley, Sr. that dose OF
indigo would cure the bots. This was
tried and the indigo killed all the bots in
the horses stomach and he recovered en-
tirely.
A year or so later about $50 hogs were
being fattened on the Crumley ranch and
the cholera got in, killing about half OF
them. No good treatment for cholera
was known as that time and sooner than
let them die the Crumleys decided 10 try
the indigo TO see if it would be as effec-
tive on hogs with cholera as on a horse
with bots. The indigo not only checked
the cholera. but it cured the hogs that had
it, even when they were pretty far gone.
Since that time indigo has been used
whenever cholera develops, much OF the
time in California, and has always given
the best results. II is stated that il has
been found excellent in preventing the
cholera from entering bunch Of hogs, as
well as curing it after it has started.
The indigo is ground up into powder
fed in mash al the rate Of a teaspoonful
or a little more dose. Sometimes sew
eral doses are necessary and the cure re-
suits in only three or four days. When a
hog is so sick that he cannot eat, the in
digo can be dissolved in water and given
by means OF bottle.

How To Get Good Roads.

When Caesar took an eastward ride
And grabbed the Gauls Of Rome.
What was the first thing that he did
To make them feel al home?
Did he increase the peoples loads,
And liberty forbid
No. he dug in and built good roads
That's what old Caesar did.
Did Caesar put the iron heel
Upon the ioeman breast.
Or try TO make them feel
That Roman rule was best2
What did he do TO make them glad
He came their lands amid
He built good roads in place OF bad
That's what old Caesar did.
He built good roads from hill TO hill,
Good roads from vale 10 vale;
He ran a good roads movement
Till Rome got all the kale.
He told the folks TO buy al home,
Build roads their ruts TO rid,
Until all roads led up 10 Rome
That's what old Caesar did.
II any town would make itself
The center OF the may,
Where folks will come and settle down
And live in plenty's lap;
Ii any town its own abodes
CT poverty would rid.
Let il go out and build good roads
lust like old Caesar did.

ON TRAIL OF SLAYER
Aurora Police Active in Search o.
Assassin.
Witnesses Visit Chicago in Effort to
Identify Murderer of Miss
Emma Peterson.

Aurora, ILL.,, March 1.-Two witnesses
who believe they can identify the STAY
er of Miss Emma Peterson in the third
mysterious murder of woman on
the streets here, went to Chicago to
look at Frank Ramsey, under arrest
there. The Chicago police claimed
they found piece of gas pipe in Ram
sey's room similar to the pipe with
which Miss Peterson was slain They
also claimed that Ramsey admitted be
ing in Aurora the night of the murder
and asserted he had prison record.
Detective Mar of Chicago was here
with the pipe found in Ramsey's lodg-
ings. 1t was of smaller size than the
piece of pipe to which the bloodhounds
led the local police from the scene of
the murder, but it was of the same
make, painted the same color and bore
small, square hicks made by a pipe
wrench in a manner identical with
hicks on the pipe found here.
The Chicago detective also made the
significant statement that drugs of
various kinds were found in Ramsey's
room. The local police have main
tanned that the slayer of Miss Peter
son, who was also believed to have
killed Theresa Hollander and Jennie
Miller, was an insane man or a drug
user
Ramsey was arrested in Chicago
while carrying 5000 worth of hotel
silverware believed to have been
stolen.
Ono IF fbo 1,,i+naccac 1,,I,O noe ocI-ad
to look at Ramsey in Chicago was the
Waterman at the Aurora Mills COM
pany's plant on the bank of the Fox
river.
1t was to shed in the junk yard of
this company that bloodhounds led the
police from the scene of the murder
near former Senator Albert ] Hop
kins' residence in North Lake street
When President E P. Hoerr, presi-
dentof the company, was informed the
dogs had followed trail to the river
bank in the company's junk yard
where the piece of. pipe was found, he
made the following significant state
ment:
THE dogs were right. Our watch
man told me that shortly after dark
Thursday night tall, strongly built
man, wearing long. black overcoat
went to the pile of junk and fumbled
around several minutes and finally
went away with two-feot length OF
pipe. Because it was junk the watch
man did not interfere. But after he
heard of the murder he reported tc
me-
Another important clew upon which
Chief of Police Michele worked was
the gray glove found under the body
of the girl. The mate to this glove
was picked up along the trail followed
by the bloodhounds. The gloves were
new and evidently used by the assas
sin to prevent his fingers leaving an.
| print on the pipe with which hs
crushed in Miss Peterson's forehead.
Chief Michels ordered dragnet il
the Hungarian settlement in the out
skirts of Aurora. The chief was salt
to have learned where the gloves wer,
purchased and to have been given
clew at the store which led to thu
settlement.
Tho most of the sixty suspects al
rested were released.
