The chief symptom by which a
physician determines the presence OF
diabetes is the appearance Of sugar
in measurable amounts in the fluids
excreted from the body.
The exact cause Of diabetes, other
than the disturbance of the pam
creas resulting in degeneration Of
the islands Of Langerhans, is not
known. It has been found, however,
that overeating and lack Of exercise
may be prominent points in the his
tory Of the individual concerned.
The sugars come largely from starch
and other foods. The person does
not manufacture more sugar than
usual, but cannot use properly that
which he manufactures. The excess
of sugar that accumulates is then
poured out Of the body through the
fluids.
Sometimes a severe infection may
be the insult to the body that results
in degeneration Of the pancreas and
diabetes. Sometimes tunor Of the
carries the external secretion of that
degeneration Of the gland that re-
suits in diabetes, The disease APP
parently runs in families because Of
some popularity of body structure
that is inherited.
Before the discovery Of insulin it
was customary to, treat diabetes
largely by lowering the amount Of
food, and particularly the amount of
sugar taken in. 1t is still customary
to rest the diseased organ in this
manner. so that dietary changes are
made even when insulin is used.
Insulin makes it possible to take
part of the burden off the pancreas
and to permit the patient somewhat
more varied diet.
Most Of the quacks who sell patent
remedies of one kind or another for
the treatment of diabetes get their
testimonials from persons with mild
cases who are apparently helped by
any medicine, provided they. also
modify their diet. The directions
accompanying the remedy usually
list simple diet, and the person
will invariably feel better il he fol-
lows the diet. whether he takes the
me0lclne or not.
The competent physician changes
the amount Of food that the person
may take according to the amount
Of sugar. that he 4 excretes.
Thus it is necessary. to
make repeated examihations OF
both the blood and the excreted
fluid to determine to what extent
the sugar is being utilized properly
by the body.
Patients who have beer, sick for
many years with diabetes sometimes
learn to- perform the simn1er tests
for themselves. The simplest test
includes merely the adding { few
drops of the excreted fluid = q tea
spoonful of a solution obtaining
copper. If there 10 sugar present,

tion changes to red. Any phlsician
will be glad, to show. this test TO the
patient who suffers with diabetes.
In tomorrow's health column, DR..
Fishbein will diseuss approved diets
for patients suffering from diabetes.

States wave of dissatisfaction with the archaic
methods of school instruction now in use is discern
IDLE. The demand is being made that more up
todate and unified system of education be evolved
and put into effect
There is no doubt that constructive, creative
thinking for all normally constituted children and
youth is the challenge to our forward looking
teachers and educators It is a monumental task
confronting educational experts, this unifying of a
whole system OF instruction. yet it is step that
must come in the swift development Of our civza-

Increase the AirWayS

1t is the hope of the department of commerce
that another 5000 miles may be added during the
next fiscal year to the present 5000 to 1000 miles
OF arways now under operation in the country, ac-
cordng to the annual report just prepared. Accord
ing to the report January l, 1926, there were
1863 miles of air transport services in operation by
private enterprises and there 1865 miles oper-
ated by the postoffice department.
Probably the most important step in the develop
ment of true commercial aviation in this country,
is the letting of contracts for the carrying of air
mail BY this means a very large postal loss will
be turned into postal profit and the postoffice
department will be relieved Of the necessity of pro-
viding it's own transportation.
The time is coming although too slowly, when all
important centers of population will be intercon-
nected by vast network Of air routes, over which
planes and airships will transport. mails, express
and passengers with a speed and safety that will
be surprising to those who consider air travel today
as unsafe and unreliable
In order to encourage expansion of the air trans
port however, will be necessary for the govern
ment to actually, if not literally "subsidize aero
nautics by means of air mail contracts and other
methods which may legitimately be used without
setting aside an actual subsidy fund. The develop.
ment of aviation is an important one, intimately
bound up with industrial progress and with national
defense. 1t is not interesting experiment but
an embryo economic force that Will do as much to
change the fate of and nations as did the

nervous people will worry every
night about the danger of burglars,
and that some intruder will get into
their home and perhaps turn on them
and shoot them. The danger of such
a result is very trifling. Meanwhile
these nervous folks get so uneasy a.
bout it that they lose sleep and there
by lower their physical vitality, and
they are more likely to be unable to
resist the attacks of disease.
If people will use common sense,
avoid needless risks, take plenty of
time to do things, and avoid destruc-
tive haste and hurry, the average per-
son should live considerably longer
than would have been possible years
ago.
Dangers like the automobile peril
can be reduced to the minimum by
careful driving, by taking ones time
when one wants to cross street.
Needless hurry causes large part of
our misfortunes. The one who gets
smashed up in an automobile accident
is usually the one who could not wait
a few additional seconds for safer
conditions. ----Cumberland Evening

With its excellent cast and produc-

full appealing comedy. "Abie's Irish
Rose" will be presented by the world
famous author-producer for an en-
gagement of one night only, Tuesday,
November l5, at the Maryland The
atre, Oakland, this is the same COM
pany that is playing at Cumberland
this week.
Unless all signs fail, Oakland will
be another city to be added to the
long list of successful records estab-
lished by this truly remarkable play,
which has been the cause of more dis
cussion than any play written since
the Bard of Avon started writing.
"Abie's Irish Rose" is not only
brimful of good, clean, wholesome
comedy, there being hearty laugh
in almost every line, but in its I'M
folding discloses one of the prettiest
little love stories ever told, which in
it's simplicity is at once winning.
Miss Nichols has written all told
seventeen plays. She was also re-
sponsible for "Just Married." which is
still playing throughout the country
with great success, also "Linger Long
err Lefty" in which play Charlotte
Greenwood, the elongated Coincidence,
scored her biggest hit. However, it
was "Abie's Irish Rose" that placed
Miss Nichols name in the hall of fame
for having written play that has un-

ARMISTICE DAY

Nine years ago the worlds greatest
war came to an end Mothers began
to hope; wives could once more ex-
pect the return of their husbands. The
war to end war had been such strain
as none could appreciate; now one
could look forward to reconstruction.
First the people took stock. The
war had cost the lives of between nine
and ten million soldiers, the finest
young men of the fighting nations. 1t
had also cost the lives of twice as
many civilians, OH men, mothers,
babies.
Two things became clear. Modern
war involved the whoae nation, not
merely the soldiers. In the past it
had been possible to protect ones
home and loved ones. One could re-
taliate by dropping bombs on enemy
babies, but one could not prevent the
enemy from bombing in his turn. War
fare was directed chiefly against CT
william population. The death lists
proved it.
Armistice Day is a special day of
remembrance for the young men who
laid down their lives in the "War to
end war" They have handed on to
us the torch of their young idealism.
1t is for every one of us who remain
to carry on and complete the work.
In spite of the complexities of the
technical questions of disarmament
and arbitration, every one of us has
his opportunity. We cannot conduct
the negotiations, we cannot make the
treaties, but we can make up our
minds that our country's foreign pol
icy shall be based on friendliness and
fair dealing. Bad governments can
not override public opinion that de-
mands peace and fairness in their
dealings with other nations. Good
governments cannot do the things nee
essary to secure peace, and fairness
unless supported by their people.
Therefore, every single individual
citizen has his share of responsible
ity for completing the work of build
ing lasting peace which was the
dream of those who sacrificed their
lives in the war that ended on the
first Armistice Day. The Friends
Peace Committee, of Philadelphia, Pa.

MODERN DANGERS

In spite of all efforts of the COM
munity to make life less dangerous,
yet every age develops its own perils.
We spend millions of dollars to sepa-
rate railroad crossings from the
street grades, and thereby save some
from being run over. But meanwhile
the streets become congested by au-
tomobiles, and the accidents resulting
therefrom are far more fatal than
those that ever happened as the re-
suit of grade crossings.
Medical science makes steady pro-
gress, and many of the perils due to
contagious diseases, lack of sanitation
etc, are avoided. But meanwhile a
large part of our people live at a high
rate Of speed, and wear out by over
working their vital organs.
Yet people can not be thinking of
perils all the time. Some fret so much
over remote dangers, that they there
by create still greater perils. Some
