LEPROSY CURE WORKS
IF APPLIED IN TIME
Most Cases Can Be Benefited If Oil

Rochester n, Y, Dec. 80 LP) -
Nearly half of the cases of ieprosy
which have not passed the six
months stage can be cured by mod
ern use OF Chaumoogric oil, DR.,
Roger Adams, of the University Of
Illinois, told the first national SYM
postum Of organic chemistry here
today.
DIR. Adams said that in actual
tests in lcpcr colonies it had been
found that use of the oil and its
compounds cured 40 per cent of the
cases discovered before they had
been six months in progress, and
that there was hope that not only
leprosy but tuberculosis might be
overcome through the results OF
chemical research work now under
way. The oil and its compounds, he
declared have been found to kill the
lcprous and tubercle bacillus.
Professor Treat b. Johnson, Of
Yale, discussing studies of sulphur
in thiopolypcptide combination, de-
clarcd that laboratory discoveries
have led chemists TO believe that
there is in the alimentary tract of
the human body a special sulphur
compound, absence OF insufficency
of which is evident in cases of dia-
betes.
He said that research workers be-
licve this sulphur compound is pres
cnt in insulin, now used in treating
diabetes, and that laboratory work
is being carried on in an effort to
determine the compOnents and char

HAPPY new YEAR

Radio Fans 10 ''See'' 1926 in
From Many Points

New Years eve vii! be a great
occasion and radio enthusiasts in
New Britain will secure It great deal
of comfort from their sets IL they
happen to be listening in, But the
folks who will be out on parties and
attending social functions won't fare
as well as the people who sit COM
fortably In their own homes when
the New Year rings In. Because the
pleasure seeker will hear the New
Year make Its entrance only once,
while the radio fan, II his set is pow
erful enough. may have the pleasure
OF hearing the New Year arrive four
separate and distinct times,
And no Joy water Will be- needed
In order 10 accomplish this feat,
Explained. it is this; At IL o'clocE
midnight, eastern standard time, all
the stations In the eastern tine belt
will welcome 1926 with great gusto
and jollihcation. At n. M, eastern
standard time, the central time belt
stations will try their hand at re-
ceiving the newborn year. Thrn
at 2 a, m. will come the turn of the
mountain time stations. ana last, but
not least by any means, will come
the Pacific time stations, who will
wish the New Year at 3 a. m, east
ern standard time.
II will be an interesting expert
ment for New Britain fans to attempt
g. IL ct !
welcoming Mr.. 1926. For incX-
pensive pleasures it can't be beat,
and the stay-at-home will be able TO
say "Hurray!" four times, whereas
his brothers and sisters out for a
good time" can only say it once,
The prominent stations in all the
time belts will add their din and
racket to the celebration as the
year 1926 moves across the country
in much the same manner as the
recent well known and Justly cee-
brated eclipse. Although time
moves by fits and starts, at least as
far as time belts are concerned, the
New Year will arrive at IL o'clock
in this section. Out in the middle
west an hour wiIt e.arse and then
the year will arrive with bang. In
fact, 1t would be possible to chase
1926 away out in the middle of the
Pacific ocean and then there
wouldn't be any advantage. because
the start OF another day would be
noticed.
The only station, heard in this
section, which would celebrate New
Years arrival earlier to CNRA,
