Diabetes.

There are two diseases called diabetes.
In one there is only an excessive excre-
tion by the kidneys; that is called dia-
betes insipidus. In the other the excre-
ton is not only large, but ii contains an
abnomalamount OF sugar; that is diabetes
mellituS The second disorder is usually
understood when the word diabetes is
used, and il is that which we shall dis
cuSS.
The disease occurs commonly in middle
life, although il may attack tie young
when il is very serious matter--or the
old-when il is usually mild in character
and not dangerous to life. 1t begins in
sidlously, and it may be several months,
or even years, before the patient feels
that his health IS failing. His appetite
may continue good and he may digest his
food well, but he loses weight and tires
easily; moreover, he suffers from thirst,
and notices that his kidneys are so active
that he has TO rise two or three times in
the night. II he consults physician, an
examination will show that his urine con-
tains more or less sugar.
Besides the muscular weakness and
proneneSs TO fatigue, there is a general
lack of constitutional vigor and a decline
in the power OF resistance. Slight in
iuries may lead TO serious results; for ex-
ample, gangrene OF toe, or even Of the
loot md leg may follow slight scratch
inflicted in cutting corn or paring the
nails Neuritis may occur, cataract is a
not uncommon complication, and boils
and carbuncleS are frequent. Such pa
tient does not bear surgical operations
well, and is likely TO have bronchitis,
pneumonia, or other affections Of the re-
spiratory organs.
Death may occur from any Of these
numerous complications or il may come
in Inconsistencies and coma. That is a
common termination when diabetes al
tacks the young; it is owing to the toxic
action on the brain Of an excess OF acids
in the blood.
The treatment Of diabetes-which, oi
course, should always be directed by the
physicians mainly dietary. The object
is 10 exclude as far as possible all carbo-
hydrate foods. that is to say, allthose thai
contain sugar or starch; tor starch is
changed into sugar during the process oi
digestion. That is not so easy as i
sounds, for you cannot cut off all starchy
food for any length OF time without en-
dangenng life; an all meat diet. for ex.
ample, will almost certainly result in dia-
bette coma and death. The problem o
the physician is, therefore, TO reduce TIT
amount Of starch as TAR as he can witt
| safety, and at the same time to keep uJ
the patients strength. He must also al
tack the disease itself, and try TO reduce
the sugar excretion by restoring the pow
er Of the body to "bum it up" before i
reaches the kidneys.

If We But Knew.

II we but know how soon our loved would 60.
five but knew how soon the call may come;
II we but knew how soon may fall the blow.
To leave our hearts in sorrow stricken dumb
If we but knew-how sweeter we might be.
How kinder TO them yet little while:
How much we'd find TO add unto their gee
And help them onward with tender smile
II we but knew some morning we may wake
And find them gone. or hurrying through the day
Find messengers sent unto us 10 break
The sorrowing news that they have gone away;
II we but knew-that last. harsh. bitter word
Might not have fall'n, nor that thought been born
II we had known a voice no longer heard
Would answer not our calling in the morn.
II we but knew perhaps we would not feel
Unkind so oft and treat our dear ones So
If we but knew how soon deaths wings may steal
Around their slumber. But we cannot know
We can be only g-ntle all the while,
And glad and tender as we toll along.
So that when death hath touched them with its smile
No dark regret unsweeteneth our song.

one of the most influential thinkers in our
country. Writing in the last issue OF the
"Congregationalist," DR.. Sheldon says:
"Out of thirty-seven articles printed in
magazines and papers last month, all
shrieking with shrapnel tones tor pre-
paredness, only two were printed west
OF the AlIeghanieS. And among the au-
thors OF these thirty-seven articles were
three admirals, seven army officers, nine
financiers, four of them at the head OF
munition factories, flve college professors
OF political economy, three presidents OF
commercial clubs and five politicians:
"Where do the people come in? They
are the ones to pay the bills for all this
preparedness and they are the ones who
get blown TO pieces when preparedness
goes off as if always does 60 off f; and as
history proves. always goes off first with
the powerful few who are thoroughly
prepared.
"The thunder of the guns and the wt1ir-
ring OF the airshipS is so loud, at least
down east in the magazines, that some
people have forgotten that there are any
people. The people do not want any
preparedness for war. What the people
want is peace. They have tasted the
fruits OF preparedness all through the cen.
turies And the taste is exceeding bitter
As for me and mine, wish to stand

church press, and such secular papers as

Cream of tartar, derived from grapes,

it is the best and most healthful ingredient
known for the purpose.
Phosphate and alum, which are de-
rived from mineral sources are used IN
some baking powders, instead of cream of

If you have been induced to use baking
powders made from alum or phosphate,
use Royal Baking Powder instead. You
