DISCOVERY OF lNSULiN
 OPENS DOOR TO OTHER
 MEDICAL ARRANGEMENTS

CINCINNATI O., Jan. 15.-Insul in, recently discovered remedy for di abetes may render to humanity a vastly greater service than that alrea- dy demonstrated through its curative qualities and possibly will lead to startling revelations in the field of medicine pr. J. J. R. Mcleod of the University of Toronto, told the Am erican Association for the Advance ment of Science today.
 ''Insulin places in the hands of the physiologist a new instrument of re- search. It is like a new instrument in the hands of surgeon It prov ides a key which may serve to open the doors to hidden mysteries of metabolism," the Canadian doctor, who is joint holder of the Nobel prize in medicine, told the scientists.
 The possibilities of further devel- opments through administration of in- sulin lies not in its effects upon those suffering from diabetes, but in tie re- actions which take place when it is introduced into a normal body, he declared
 The substance, obtained from the pancreatic glands of animals, may aid greatly in the study of disorders of the human body resulting from glan- dular deficiencies and certainly will result in a greater knowledge Of met abolism, Dr. McLeon predicted. He would not, however, venture an op- inion as to the final outcome of the studies now being carried on

five.
"The first returns" states THE
DIGEST, when the votes stood at
1000, gave Coolidge 16,O71, Davis
1892, and La Toilette, $500. 1t
will readily be seen that Mr. Davis
present vote is at much improv~
ed ratio.
"In the earliest returns, Mr.. Cool
idge had between four and five
times as many as his Democratic
opponent. In the present poll of
689, O19 votes, the Republican car
didate has only a trifle more than
three times as many, very con-
siderable reduction in his proporti-
onal lead.
"Mr La Toilette, also, has cut
down the lead of the President, the
first returns showing the Coolidge
strength at approximately three to
one in La Follette's case, while the
present report gives somewhat less
than two and one-half to one.
"Mr. La Follette's popular vote
continues to be well above that reg
istered by Mr.. Davis, but, Of course,
on the basis of the returns so far
received, Mr.. Davis would have the
greater number ofvotes in the Elec-
toral College. Only Wisconsin is
thus far credited to the Wisconsin
Senator, with Minnesota, where he
was expected to have a considerable
lead, thus far, apparently, SAFE IN
the Republican column.
"The State that continues to hold
the center of the stage. however, is
California where La Toilette has
piled up total of 1926 votes
against the Presidents 1924.
Even tho this shows slight weaken
ing in the La Toilette strength Since
THE DIGEST'S first printed re-
turns of 1924 for Coolidge and 1,
