troubles. The breach between the
royal pair was only partially healed
five years later at the birth Of a
son, who was to become one OF
England's most renowned mon
arch's, Edward III.
Roger Mortimer. the Earl of
March, a tameless border chief, the
instigator of a civil war, was cap
tured and confined in a dungeon OF
the Tower. During the troubled
times Isabella, for greater security,
retired to suite in the Tower,
which was really q royal fortress
adjoining the palace.
Isabella assisted him to escape.
She later returned to the French
Court as ''mediator," carrying with
her the young Prince of Wales.
And Roger Mortimer was her gal

from France she fled to Hainhault,
where young Sir John placed his
great fleet and army under Isa-
bella's standard of revolt and sailed
away to England.
Isabella's elnissaries In England
had succeeded in winning the SYM

Edward II, instead of fighting,
fled in fear. He was captured and
imprisoned.

HOPE NOW FOR
DIABETES
by Brice Belden, M. d..

49,
~ HE most striking advance of
II lat. year. IN n. 'r.a'~. At
Of disease is Banting's sue
cess in the case Of diabetes
through the use of an extract OF
the pancreas, gland situated be-
hind the stomach
Banting is young Canadian
physician who has apparently
solved the old problem of diabetes
in part. The problem is not com.
pletely solved, since the Banting
treatment keeps the symptoms
under control only SO long as it's
use continues. This is necessary
because in diabetes the changes in
the pancreas are permanent.
The pancreas manufactures two
secretions, an external and an in
ternal. The former makes it's way
into the intestine by way of the
pancreatic duct and plays a very
important part in digestion, but
has nothing to do with diabetes.
The latter is manufactured by
special cells known as the islands
of Langerhans and is taken into
the general blood stream.
This internal secretion governs
the changes which take place in
the starches and sugars eaten by
us. When these island cells be-
come infected and degenerate
there is failure to produce this
internal secretion, and diabetes
results. The body is unable then
to utilize sugar, and an excessive
amount of it occurs in the blood.
The symptoms Of diabetes then
appear. We do not as yet know
how infection of the pancreas
LaheS pLdCes
Banting succeeded in making a
preparation which he called insu-
lin, which represents the active
principle Of this internal pancre-
attic secretion. 1t is given by
hypodermic injection several times
a day. 1t is so potent that the
greatest care and skill are called
for in order that the blood sugar
be not too greatly lowered, since
such a condition causes severe
and very dangerous symptoms.
The most extraordinary i'm
provement takes place as a rule
in diabetes when insulin is used,
provided a case is not Of too long
standing.

Citron-coIored linen is used for

IS JEALOUSY DURABLE?
BEATRICE FAIRFAX GIVES HER ANSWER

Love is real, positive and
beautiful force. Hate is it's oppo-
site and jealousy is a petty and
ignoble form Of hatred working
itself out through selfishness.
No one who truly loves wants to
be selfish. No one who loves
would want to stop the beloved
from eating or drinking or sleep
ing or performing any Of the
normal life-supporting functions of
every day. Then why try to deny
a loved one the stimulating con-
versation, the exchange of ideas,
the amusement which are also
the breath of life-even If they
feed the mind instead Of the body?
Look jealousy squarely between
the eyes il you want to kill it.
Jealousy is Pigment Of the imagi.
nation-an image you erect on the
altar where unseIfish devotion
ought to be-a lie you make up to
torture yourself. Jealousy ISN'T a
reality. 1t isn't positive emotion
even if it seems strong enough to
be called a vital force in your life.
1t is negative.
Jealousy can't start without
some positive emotions coming
first. You aren't jealous OF some
one you don't know or like. Be-
fore you can be jealous you must
first care deeply about something
and for someone. And then
loving wrongly, possessively and
without Observation-Disclosures make
up for yourself this lying image
under the name Jealousy"
To cure jealousy analyze it.
Prove it's nothingness. And then
deny it. jealousy is the absence
of love-nothing more. 1t is the
opposite Of true love-hate. 1t is
a nightmare given power because
you believe in it.

A Tidy Sum
Changing Owners

A tidy sum, around half million
dollars, from the estate of Col.
Isaac II. Wing of Bayville, Wis. has
come into the possession of several
people and possibly is looking for
new owners.
This was left in trust to two Oak
land, Me-, ladies and at their death
passed, not long ago, to an heir,
Henry +. Perkins of LeGrande, Ore,
He was killed last week in an auto@
mobile accident. 1t is not learned
whether he left a will. If not, as
now seems likely, the bequeSt will be
handed on to other heirs in Maine.
One of the possibilitieS-not saying
probabilities-is that there will be
two humble homes enriched. A quar-
ter of million dropping into the
lap under such circumstances would
be interesting. If so it is to be hoped
they may enjoy it longer than was
permitted to the Oregon heir, whose
possession of it was brief.
Henry +. Perkins was native of
Winthrop. Me, born in house tIat
stood where are now Perley's green
houses. His father, Capt. Orrin F..
Perkins, died in 1887 and his mother
Mary Wing, in 1879. Later he lived
in the family of A. =. Benjamin OF
Oakland Me. from there going to
LeGrande. Ore, where he became
the station agent. the position he oc-
cupied when he became heir to this
wealth.
