INSULIN SAVES DYING
GIRL WHO HAS DIABETES

NEW. YORK, May 26.-How the
life OF Edna Nelson, six-year-old
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Nelson, of Mt. Vernon, N. Y, was
saved by the use Of insulin, the
new treatment for diabetes, was
told in clinic for the state Medi-
cal Society, in convention.
DIR. Benjamin Jablons, Of st.
Luke's Hospital, said the girl had
been brought to the hospital a
month ago in an apparently dying
condition from an acute case Of
diabetes. She was in a comatose
state, he said, but half an hour
after the first injection of the medi-
cine revived. Other treatments We're
given her, and she was pronounced
as cured. The sugar content Of her
blood, he said, had dropped to
normal
DIR. Elliott P. Joslin, Of Boston,
told the convention he had given
the insulin treatment to $50 Diabetes
patients since last August, and of
these only seven had died, the
treatment having been effective in
the majority of cases.

LONDON, May 26-"Britain will

This was the advice handed out
by Frank Dickson, vice president Of
the Packard Motor Company.
IT have been astounded by the
prices that are asked for every
thing and particularly for clothes,
food and necessaries generally"
Dickson said. ''They are much
higher than in the United States,
although wages in England are ap-
parently lower"
Dickson admitted that he felt a
sense of depression in London be-
cause of the distress and condi-
lions Of unemployment which are
seen on all hands.

They say that every man con-
siders himself an expert in making
salad dressing. Certainly every
man whom we ever met has con-
sidered that he had something
worth while to offer In the way Of
ADVICE as to what to take on the
motor tour. And many Of them
actually have.
In the present article we shall
try to suggest a few items of eouin.
ment, which we know from actual
experience, will add materially TO
the pleasure of motoring. And by
the way Of preface let us say that
equipment to add to the pleasure
OF touring must not be in the way.
A car filled to overlooking with
paraphernalia cramps the passen-
gers, until a long days run may
actually be painful. So bear this
In mind and keep whatever you are
to carry out from under foot.
One Of the first requisites, of the
long motor tour, is q good trunk.
II night stops are to be made at
hotels. the trunk is doubly needful
Fortunately the manufacturers of
such equipment have realized the
need and now offer trunks winch
will carry everything in the way Of
clothing needed EN- route. There are
two methods Of carrying the auto
mobile trunk; at the side of the
car, on the running board and In
the rear, If there is a trunk rack.
There are excellent trunks avail
able for either location. These are
moisture and dustproof and may be
lifted off at the night stop in a
moments time. The cost will vary
according to the size and luxury of
the trunk chosen; but in any event
the motorist, particularly the
woman motorist, will find the
money spent a satisfactory invest
ment.
Many car owners find the run
ming board luggage carrier a great
convenience. This type of device
comes in many forms. We are
showing one that operates on the
scissors principle, forming a com.
partment on the running board in
which may be carried suit cases,

BIowouts From Bruised Tires.

Tires frequently do not blow out
at the time they are injured. Often
they run for several hundred or
even for thousand miles after being
seriously bruised. The cotton fibres
in the ruptured canvas snap gradual
ly, one by one. This breaking con-
tinues to weaken the tire until the
final result is a blowout.
