Useless Signals

Not so very long ago there was a concerted
effort throughout the country to create uni
form signaling code by which motorist could
know what the fellow ahead intended to do be-
fore he changed his course.
This campaign seems to have died quiet
death. Motorists do and do not signal their
intentions. And when they do the signal most
likely is so uncertain that the man behind is
more confused than he is helped.
A hand sticking out Of the left front window
of an auto may have more meanings than q
chorus girls blush.
The driver with the extended arm may
merely be flicking ashes off his cigar, or he
may be pointing to some pretty piece of scenery
or he may be testing for rainfall.
And even if he does intend to signify move
out of the regular course of traffic he may
mean anything from intending to turn left to
backing up. The extended arm, held loosely
beyond the side, seems to be taken for every
thing.
Perhaps some day an ingenious inventor will
concoct device that will respond automatically
to the thoughts of the driver.
On the other hand, there are so many tickle
minded drivers.

THE CURE OF DIABETES
MEILITI1S

If you have been to your doctor
and found that you have an excess Of
blood sugar or sugar showing in the
urine, you need not be unduly
alarmed, as this disease IAN usually
be cured if the proper dietary treat
ment is started in time.
Diabetes is a great deal more SER
ious with children than with adults,
and twice as common with males as
females. The majority Of cases &C.
cur between the ages of 30 and go,
but one may have a considerable
amount of sugar showing in the urine
and still live for a good many years
without any kind Of treatment.
The sensible thing for one to do
when he has discovered the start Of
this disease is to take plain water
fast for a few days. This is not only
my own idea, but is recommended by
all of the leading diet authorities and
nutritional experts with whom 50
often disagree. We are practically
all united in the belief that a few
days. fast is always beneficial; but
while others recommend only four
or five days, I am sure that 10 or
Is days. fast is productive of more
good results, and will accomplish
more at the start than many weeks
Of careful dieting.
Large amounts of distille.' water
should be taken during the fast, and,
of course, from one to three dis
titled water enemas daily. The sys-
tenn should be literally flooded with
clear water to wash out accumulated
poisons and the excess Of sugar from
faulty carbohydrate conversion. Skin
bathing must be kept up, and two
or three sponge or shower baths
taken daily to insure proper skin
elimination. After the fast this is
a model Of the diet usually recon-
mend for my patients:
Breakfast: Choice of one kline. of
protein, such as eggs, nutg, or cheese.
Only one egg should be used; or
two ounces of nuts; or two ounces
Of cheese. Three or four slices Of
Melba toast. (Th.s is toast dextrin-
lied completely through, which re-
moves all the starch.) A small dish
Of stewed fruit, such as prunes, figs,
baked apple, or applesauce,
no sugar being added. Between
breakfast and lunch at least one
quart Of distilled water should be
taken.
Lunch: Choice of one or more as
desired Of the following vegetables:
Celery, spinach, small string beans,
cucumber, egg plant,
small beets and tots, summer squash,
small turnips and tops, small carrots,
small parsnips, lettuce. okra, ebay
otes, oyster plant (salsify), mallow,
kale, zucchini, parsley, nasturtium
leaves and flowers, endive, avocado
alligator pearl, or ripe olives.
These may be used both cooked and
raw. In the afternoon at least one
quart Of distilled water should be
used.
Dinner: Choice o. one of the fol-
lowing pro. Gins: Beef, mutton, rab-
bit, chicken, fish Except salmon),
cottage or cream cheese, gelatin,
frogs legs or turtle. Not over a
