HEARST'S SCABBY
SEATTLE RAG TO
Be PUT ON TRIAL
Girl Was Worked Eleven
Hours in Day

SEATTLE, Sept. 25.-Six jurymen
will decide Oct. 8 whether William
Randolph Hearst's non-union Seattle
daily is within the law in working
women linotype operators IL hours a
day. The Post-Intelligencer, which
has been operating non-union for over
three months because of it's refusal
to sign the typo contract agreed to
by all other Seattle dailies, is charged
with violating the women's S-hour law
of Washington in the case of Lillian
Wilson who was worked IL hours one
day last June.
Oh, PIffIe.
The Hearst daily admits the long
shift but pleads that newspaper is
not a mechanical establishment" and
therefore not within the scope of the
S-hour law. It's lawyer gravely plead
ed in preliminary hearing that the
Hearst sheet is not mechanical but
an educational and informative insti-
tuition.
Justice Dalton will let jury pass
on this cultural plea. The Washington
attorney general is making it a test
case.

ton of Eabor-is an attack on Will
lam 2. Foster and the Workers (Com
munist) Party of America, to which
the name of Joseph A. Wise is at
tached.
The article can be divided into two
parts-one accusing William 2. Fos-
ter and the Workers (Communist) Par
ty of aiding and abetting the election
campaign Of Charles G. Dawes and
his followers and in general, disrupt
ing the labor movement, the other in
ferring that the printing plant and
headquarters of the Workers (Com.
munist) Party are the property OF
William q. Foster and that the money
to pay for the same came from some
source other than the supporters of
the Communists in the United States.
To dispose of the first criticism, it
is enough to say that the Communists
know there is no difference between
capitalist politicians, so far as the
working class is concerned, on the
slate of one or the other of the two
capitalist parties. The Communists
stand for class party of the work
ers and farmers; their efforts for the
last two years have been devoted to
building such party and they con-
slider the support of capitalist politi-
clans, no matter what their promises,
as outright betrayal of the interests
Of the working class. This was their
position in the election which result
ed in the return of the injunction
Judge, Dennis Sullivan, to office.
Regarding the second question rails
ed by Joseph A. Wise-the DAILY
WORKER printing plant and the own
ership thereof-it is only necessary
to cite the fact that $1,000 was rails
ed by the Workers (CommunisD Par
ty Of America for the purpose of es-
tablishing daily paper in a campaign
that lasted for months, the itemized
receipts Of which were published
weekly in the Weekly Worker, the
forerunner of the daily.
Inasmuch as Joseph A. Wise is an
employee linotype operator of the
DAILY WORKER Publishing Com
pany, and has been such since the
plant began operations, he is, doubt
less, familiar with these facts which
he chose, for purposes obvious in his
article, to ignore.
The charges made by Joseph A.
Wise are serious ones. He speaks of
the illogical, jesuitical reasoning of
a Communist; he characterizes as
futile webs of sophistry' the state
ments of William e. Foster publish
ed on page one Of the Aug. 30th issue
of the DAILY WORKER; he calls
Foster the greatest mountebank,
charlatan and faker that ever raised
his voice in the halls of the Ameri-
can labor movement; he brands as
intellectual renegade Americans" GER

WHAT is INSULIN7

nABETES Is a disease character
- lied by the presence of sugar In
the urine. 1t has been known for thou
sands of years.
Formerly regarded as disease OF
the kidneys, 1t was found, about forty
years ago, to be due to degeneration
of the pancreas, following some infec-
ton, such as influenza or typhoid fe-
yer. 1t may be caused by obesity.
In $780, Langerhans found that only
a part of the gland was destroyed In
diabetes and that the pancreas was
really two glands in one.
One gland secretes the pancreatic
juice, which goes into the small intes-
tine and aids digestion. The other
gland manufactures substance which
is taken up by the blood and which Is
necessary for sugar digestion.
The parts of the gland which secrete
this second substance are called the
Islands Of Langerhans.
If these islands degenerate, then the
sugar in the food, instead of being
used by the body, is discharged through
the kidneys. So that, no matter how
much the patient eats, he is unable to
get enough nourishment, because much
of his food is thrown away.
Diabetic patients have enormous ap-
petites, but the more they eat the more
poorly nourished they are. To make
matters worse, the changed chemistry
of the body produces an acid condition
of the blood called acidosis; which
eventually poisons the patient.
He becomes unconscious-what is
known as diabetic COMMAND usually
never awakenS.
In 1921, DR.. F. G. Banting. young
Canadian physician, determined to find
this mysterious substance, the absence
of which caused diabetes.
After many experiments he sue
ceeded in making serum containing
the secretion Of the Islands of LANCER
hans, which he called insulin.
+ 1t is now made from the pancreas
of the hog, which contains more insulin
than that of any other animal.
Before the discovery of fnsulin the
Only CllnS the QOCUOT cOulQ uO lOT uld-
betics was to give them starch and
sugar-free diet.
Since Doctor Banting's discovery 1t
is possible to restore the diabetic pa
tient to practically normal condition.
The doctor weighs the patients food
estimates the amount of sugar eaten
and the amount of sugar excreted.
Then he gives the patient enough
insulin to digest the sugar taken into
the body. This enables the body to
absorb it.
Insulin is not cure for diabetes. 1t
replaces the missing substance in the
blood of the diabetic patient and so
enables him to lead a normal life.
1t is not substitute for other meth
DDS Of treatment. Careful diet and
ways of living are still necessary.
1t is possible that its continued use
may restore the pancreas to normal,
at least in mild cases, but this we do
not know, as yet.

GOOD FOOD SURPRISES
DRUGS

NEW YORK city spends thirty-five
L million dollars each year main
tanning its hospitals OF this amount,
ten millions, or nearly one-third, are
spent for food.
This is quite different from the old
idea of hospital. People used TO
think they went to a hospital to take
medicine. They know better now. A
hospital is a place for making sick
people well, not for dosing them un-
necessarily.
A hundred years ago doctors didn't
know what caused diseases or how
they could be prevented, so the only
thing they could do was to give such
medicines as they had, in the hope Of
restoring the patient to health. The
wise doctor today doesn't give any
medicine unless he knows that it's
going to help the patient. OF course,
this means that what medicine Is given
today is much more necessary and
beneficial than the larger quantities
that used to be administered. Doctors
give fewer drugs today because they
know more than their predecessors did
Hospitals spend more money for food
than they do for medicines, because
they know that every patient needs to
be properly nourished, while compare
lively few need drugs.
With our better knowledge of the
chemistry of foods and the processes
of dipaStiOn we are able f0 combine
feeding and medication in a way that
the old-time doctor never thought Of
A certain amount of iron is necessary
for health. If you must have it In
hurry your doctor gives you a prescrip-
ten containing iron, which will rapidly
increase the amount of iron in your
blood. But he would rather give 1t to
you in a natural way through your
food. The iron you get in fresh vege-
tables and fruits is better suited for
your bodily needs than the iron you
get in pills and in bottles.
So. the doctor today gives his pa
tents, either at home or in the hos
pital, many needful substances In their
food which he formerly had to give In
the form of medicines. When he does
give medicine, he gives 1t because 1t
is necessary and he gives the smallest
amount that will do the work.
Every capable physician knows to-
day that it is just as important for his
patient to have the right kind of food
as the right kind of medicine.
