After Trevino's soldiers, at Carran-

Boyd's men at Carrizal, Wilson sent a
stern note" to ask Carranga what
his course was to be. And he de-
handed that the answer be transmit
ed by regular diplomatic chanenls and
not through subordinate military Of
ficers. Evidently a written commun-

LAND IS TO BE RECLAIMED
System Of Irrigation VIII Restore Fer
tillty to the Valley Of the
Euphrates.

For several years before the war
began the Turkish government was
building irrigation dams across the
Euphrates. reopening the old Babylo-
MAN canals which had long been filled
with sand, and building new canals
to reclaim the country. When the
war broke out work upon this great
irrigation project ceased. After the
war 1t will doubtless be resumed, and
one may easily imagine the changes
which will then take place. All of
that wonderfully fertile valley will be
reclaimed. The wide plains, where
now the herds OF the Bedouin find
scant pasturase. will be dotted with
date groves and grain fields. and M

now but few can gain a livelihood.

Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-08-04

it is this very excess of sugars and
starches which sets up diabetes in the
first place by eventually destroying all
tolerance for such denatured foods.
Olaf Hammarsten, emeritus profess
sor of medical and physiological chem
istry in the University of Upsala, is
very positive on this point. A hyper
glycemia may be caused by the intro
duction of more sugar than the oody
can destroy. If too much sugar is IN
ttoduced into the intestinal tract at
any one time, so that the asslmllatlon
limit is over-reached, the glycemla Is
caused by the passage of more sugar
into the blood than the liver and other
organs can destroy"
The fact is recognized by the medl-
cal profession that oVer-taXing any or
gan systematically is certain to be fol-
lowed by a morbid condition in the
functioning of that organ.
In the morbid condition described
as diabetes the factor of most signifi-
cance is always the carbohydrate fac
tor. All the evidence warrants the as
sumption that this carbohydrate fac
tor is not alone a symptom of the
disease, but it's actual cause.
Excess sugars in the diet are con-
demned as injurious by many author
tiles, for no other reason than that
many individuals are actually incapa-
BILE of disposing of them without in
jury.
Robert Hutchinson, physician to the
London Hospital, declares: 1T must
be borne in mind that the assimilation
limit is not the same for all individ-
uals. Some people are able to convert
more sugar into glycogen than others
Persons with a low assimilation limit
are potential diabetics-that is to say
they are more liable, through sugar
excesses, than others to become the
victims of diabetes"
Here is indeed a direct connecting
link between sugars and diabetes
There is evidence to indicate that ar
tificial sweets, such as white sugar
and glucose. conduct themselves in the
body in manner not now understood
by scientists, but with much less toler-
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-08-04

ance than is enjoyed by natural sug-
|ars, accompanied by the other food
elements with which nature endows
them in the raw or unrefined state
DIR. Alonzo E. Taylor declares that
all sugars are not tolerated in the
same way in the body. "Levulose and
lactose are sometimes tolerated and
utilized better by the diabetic than is
glucose" he says.
He is not clear as to the meaning of
this fact. He simply cites it as a fact.
He calls attention to the phenomenon
that all the starches yield only glucose,
not fructose or galactose, and there
are variations in the liberation of
starches of different derivations.
THE starch of the potato" he de-
clares, lis supposed to burn better
than that of corn. There is no doubt
of one fact. Diabetes tolerate oatmeal
better than any other carbohydrate.
1t is common to feed a diabetic with
little glycosuria and low acidosis, 100
grams of starch per day in the form
of oatmeal accompanied by its natur-
al mineral salts), when so grams of
glucose hydrolized cornstarch) will
pass almost quantitatively into the
urine"
For this fact, striking as it is we
have no explanation" he says.
Referring to the same phenomenon,
julius Friedenwold, professor of gas
tro- -enterology in the College of Physi-
clans and Surgeons, Baltimore. and
John Ruhrah, professor of diseases of
children in the same institution, de-
clare The different varieties OF
sugars and starches ingested may
vary in their glycosuria- producing
power. Glucose causes the greatest
percentage of sugar to appear in the
urine in the shortest time. Fruit
sugar augments the glycosuria only
to one-half the extent when given in
the same amount"
Here the lessened tolerance for glu-
cose, as compared with other sugars
and carbohydrates is clearly mani.
tested. Who will say that this les
sened tolerance for glucose is without
significance? Uttered by such emf.
nent authorities, these observation:
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-08-04

titles of penny candies and other dena-
tured sweets daily.
Food refinement. resulting in a con-
stantly increasing abundance of de-
lniperalized starches, sugars and glu-
cose, ends in many diseases among
which it now appears diabetes is one
of the most conspicuous.
In younger patients, declares
Janeway, sit is not safe to allow an
amount of sugars and starches more
than two-thirds of that tolerated, and
they must be kept under close super
vision because they are more likely
to progress from a mild to a severe
form of the disease. even under treat
ment, for the reason that they are apt
to be careless and self-indulgent."
Warnings of this kind uttered by
specialists who have devoted years to
the study of but one form of a dis
ease that is rapidly increasing, are
rarely needed by the laity for the rea-
son that the laity rarely hear them.
The younger the patient the more
marked are the evidences CT excesses
void and Ruhrah, yet we continue
to encourage our children to daily in
diligence in penny sweets (refined
sugar and glucose), Notwithstanding
| the abnormal proportion of refined
carbohydrates which constitute the
bulk of their breakfast, dinner and
supper.
1t requires no distortion of these
statements to justify the conclusion
that if excessive indulgence in sugars
and starches diminishes tolerance and
causes a mild case of diabetes to pro-
gress to severe fern of the disease,
