The political question has not beei
much discussed in the county SO fal

pressure of the work on the rancho:

time. Harvesting is now nearly ovel

ing to a certain extent agitated. A

POINTS TO IMPORTANCE
OF LEGION POSTS HERE

At no other place in the coun-
try does the American Legion have
such an influential duty as here,
Department Commander Paul J.
McGahan, told the Lincoln Post,
meeting last night at the New Eb-
hitt Hotel, in pointing out that the
success Of the local Legion depends
upon the activities of the individual
post.
Members OF Congress and the
Senate have only a speaking ac,
quaintance with prominent Legion
leaders in their respective States
as they live greater part of the
time in Washington so must look
to the local Legion for reflection Of
the views of the organization, Inc
said.
Commander McGahan expects to
carry message to each of tlle
tWenty-eight posts in the District
Of Columbia, he declared.

Husband Says Movies
Made Wife Lose
Weight

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-Tf his
wife really lost weight, as she
claims, it was due to her sedu-
lous attendance at the movies,
and not to any cruelty on his
part, Marianne Garguilo, Of
Brooklyn, longshoremen's fore
man alleged in opposing the ap-
plication of Mrs. Mariana Gar
guilo for $50 a week alimony
and $500 counsel fee pending
trial of cross suits for separation
between them.
They were married June "a,
1900. Mrs. Garguilo alleged that
then she weighed 10 pounds, but
that now she tipped the scales at
only 80 pounds, having lost 80
pounds because of her husbands
cruelty. She said he is 225-
FOUNDER and described him as
"big, healthy, brutish-looking
man." =.
Garguilo denied his wife's al
Legations and said that recently
she has become a movie habitue.
Decision was reserved.

GLAND THERAPY
PLA|NED BY
EXPERT
Or. William Held Sees Value
in Serum Treatment But
Not in TranspIanting.
By H. G. HAMILTON,
Cosmopolitan News Service.

CHICAGO Oct. Att is obvious,
according to DIR. William Held,
gland therapy expert, that in dag
nosis of disease and treatment
through the methods of testing
blood with gland extracts, the
patients should not be allowed to
partake of food for several hours
before the experiment is to be
conducted. Likewise, a person who
recently has suffered a bruising
or shocking injury should not be
submitted to the test. In the first
place, the food consumed would
have reaction to the test and in
the second instance the injured
tissues would show the reaction.
Diagnosticians who have used the
method, DIR. Held said, have met
with discouraging results as a
rule, to start with, but faithful
and careful application has always
convinced them.
Points Out Perils.
I'm my opinion DR.. Held emphati-
cally stated, epilepsy and cancer
may be cured, sanity recovered, re-
Juvenation attained, by this method
OF disease treatment through fresh
gland serums. However, glandular
therapy should be attempted or
practiced by or under careful super
vision of qualified physicians, for I'M
intelligent use of glandular extracts
may be not only ineffective, but also
dangerous. For instance, extract of
the panereatic gland never should be
given to a diabetic, since 1t increases
the sugar. Nor should adrenalin
ever be given to patient with a
high blood pressure, which thereby
would be increased.
Administration Of thyroid should
be carefully watched, as some per-
sons are especially susceptible TO
stimulation of the thyroid. There
are, however, no perils which need
deter any physician from attempting
the treatment. The real peril is in
the attempt of Iaymen to obtain the
benefits Of glandular preparations

DEGREES TTansplanting.
Gland transportation deserves
neither the publicity it has enjoy
ed nor the approval accorded it in
some quarters. No advantage is
claimed for it that cannot be OBJ
tanned through glandular treatment,
whether by injections or through
the mouth.
"A transplanted gland exerts a
stimulating and teasing effect upon
the patients own glands-homo-
geneous elements can cause gland
to reawaken. Take for instance a
mother whose milk has failed. Her
breast may be stimulated to nor.
NAL secretion by injection Of a
drop or so OF others milk.
THE reason for failure to obtain
permanent results from gland trans
plantation lies in the fact that the
new gland must depend for it's sus-
tenance on the very blood stream of
the patient which had failed to nour-
ish his own gland. During the period
of absorption, which must be brief,
there may be some stimulating ef-
feet, but this soon ceases. In order
to prolong benefits OF gland trans
plantation one must resort to fresh
transplantations. Obviously such
frequent recourse to surgery is ini-
practical.
