A STUDY OF DIABETES
MELLITIIS

Patients suffering from this in
sidious disease have enormous appe-
tites and thirst, a progressive loss
of weight and strength, and a grad
ual emanciation. They will notice
that sores and bruises resist healing.
AS the disease progresses, there is .
faulty metabolism Of sugar which
appears in excessive quantities in
the blood and urine, giving q peculiar
ether-like swedish odor to the
breath and to the urine.
As the disease progresses, the pa
Ftient may have to void several times
the normal quantity of urine which
constantly maintains large amodl4
Of sugar. There is mild form
where the withdrawal of carbohy-
drates causes disappearance Of the
sugar, but in the severe type even
complete fasting causes no appre-
ciable change. Apparently, the It's
sues of the body break down to fur
nish the sugar which is discharged.
Diabetes, contrary to popular be-
lief, is not necessarily q disease of
the kidneys. In fact it seems pos
sible that the kidneys in many cases
actually save the life Of the sufferer
by removing the excessive quantities
Of sugar that are present in the
blood.
Diabetes is supposed to be caused
by q disease of the pancreas that
interferes with the manufacture of
the pancreatic secretion which in
fluences the action Of the liver upon
sugar. However, there may be other
causes which will produce symptoms
similar to this disease, as enact
alton of the nervous system, or an
injury to the medulla Of the spinal
cord which may so weaken the kid
neys that they are unable to retain
the normal amount of sugar in the
blood but allow it to escape.
The pancreatic cells produce an
internal secretion which prevents
the liver from changing the insol-
uble animal starch which is stored
in the tissues into soluble glucose.
Another disorder similar to diabetes
is produced by hardening Of the liver.
A fourth form seems to be produced
by clogging Of the tissues by some
colloid or glue-like material which
prevents the free passage of sugar
from the blood to the cells of the
body, and passage of carbondioxid
from the cells to the blood. This
last last theory is supported by the
fact that in diabetes the blood is
less alkaline than normal. and II
retains an excess of solid material.
It us deficient in sodium, calcium,
silicon and iron.
Diabetes is usually more serious
in children than adults, and is twice
as common with males as females.
The majority of cases occur be.
tween the ages Of thirty and sixty,

Washington, Oct. 9.-Everyone
would be a glutton for punishment
if it were always meted out in the
manner in which the Navy Depart
ment has treated Rear Admiral
Thomas Pickett Magruder.
Admiral Magruder, readers with
exceptionally long memories will
recall, was the veteran naval fighter
who, while commander Of Philadel-
phia Navy Yard, was reckless enough
to suggest that the navy could stand
a few minor improvements. Among
other things, he made the heinous
and unforgivable suggestion that it
had too many admirals. After that,
the admirals who run the navy col
Elaborated enthusiastically with Sec
rotary of the Navy Curtis D. Wilbur
in deciding that something ought to
be done about Magruder.
So the admiral was punished.
He was punished with perfectly
beautiful vacation which began
November 5, 1927, which continues
to this day and which may, for all
one can learn from Wilbur, continue
until the admiral reaches retirement
age, three years and half hence.
Admiral Magruder has been spend
ing his vacation in his little cottage
at jamestown, r. l., near the lovely
summer colony at Newport. He has
been doing a great deal of reading
and research, which he always
wanted time to do. He has also
been writing. Whether or not it is
the same sort of magazine writing
which made Wilbur and the boss
admirals so mad is in the lap of the
gods.
Those who have seen the admiral
say he has had so much recreation
that he looks 10 or Is years below
his age Of 81. He has painted part
of his house, built stone steps and
other masonry work, done some car
pentry and other jobs about the
place which he delights in doing
with his strong old hands.
Admiral Magruder also has been
doing a bit of golfing. He could
golf all day long, every day. if he
so desired. Yet, as remarked, he
wanted to do other things. For q
few months this summer, he appre-

It is . we'll konwn fact that oper-
atoms are dangerous to diabetes
because of the danger Of gangrene.
The inability Of wounds to heal and
gangrene are both indicative Of

products.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: Charles 81. writes:
Kindly tell me through your ques-
ton and answer column what you
think causes my right arm to shake
when I am taking . drink Of water
or shaving. In fact, it does so in
any thing do. Being a professions
al violin player it is q great handi-
cap in my work"
Answer: You may Be suffering
from occupational neurosis. In your.
case this may be from the effect of
playing the violin. A general d.
etetic treatment should be helpful,
together with rest from your work
for some time. You should also
take massage treatments on the arm
and upper back. Chiropractic or
osteopathic treatments will also help
in restoring better nerve tone to
your arm.
Question: j. s. writes: II wish
to have your opinion about raw beef
as food for man. have heard it
claimed that it causes cancer and
tapeworm."
Answer: In my opinion it is better
to have the meat well cooked as
this will kill any beef tapeworm eggs
and make the meat more easily di-
gestible. There is no evidence that
one particular kind of food causes
cancer.
Question: M. A. writes: "My
trouble is an abscess near the liver.
and wish to take q weeks fast.
Will you please tell me what pro-
portion Of orange Juice to use to
two quarts of water day? In the
hospital they use six oranges, six
lemons, and some grapejuice to two
quarts Of water for q three-day fast,
whatever the case may be. Should
] follow this regime 2"
Answer: The amount Of orange.
lemon or grapefruit juice required
depends entirely upon the case, but it
is usually all right to use as much
as two quarts day of the fruit juice
in addition to an equal amount of
water.

WE COME FROM AKSHAK

The site of the oldest city of the world has been
discovered in the valley of the Tgris river by party
of scientists representing the University of Michigan
and the Toledo Museum of Art.
Buried beneath the rubble of forgotten succeeding
cities the explorers found the foundation stones of the
city of Akshak. which old before the pyramids
built and before Nineveh Ur of the Chaldees
had been laid out. The city passed of existence
long. long ago; the Roman Trajan sacked i.
in the first century A. d. and it has been wind blown,
sand-covered rubbish heap since.
There is something fascinating about the discovery
of the ruins Of ancient cities.
The race wasn't very far from savagery when this
old city built. Human beings were sacrificed on
blood-stained affairs in the temples The wisest men
in the world believed the future could be foreod by
looking in the entrals of animals and convinced
that they could control the weather by performing
strange rites with decorated sticks and coored pebbles
Nobody had ever doubted that might made right The
high water mark of civilization represented in
mud palace where half naked king impaled people
he didn't like.
If disinterested, civilized observer-the familiar
man from Mars, for instance-coud have visited that
city then. he surely would have concluded that human
beings would rise than three degrees
above the level of animals.
Yet in that barbaric CITY, were hidden the germs Of
all our progress.
The city itself passed away consumed by time and
by the trampling soldiers of Trajan's legions The
people that nhabtated it went to graves that do not
now exist, and the very memory of the place dis
appeared Yet something survived. Something
impulse, subconscious aspiration, yelled desire
proved immortal. Through long CENTURIES of darkness
warfare suffering and defeat humanity nourshed that
spark. 1t glowed and became q flame, and now and
then-at Athens, in Judea, at Rome-it burned with
light to make all Of mankind's pathway brighter.
Incomprehensibly, the race made progress Today
the forgotten ruined city of Ashak stands like mile
stone, incredibly far back the long road from dark
ness. We were there, once, in the dim morning of
history. Today our curious scientists poke among the
rubbish with spade and pick. We have left it many
leagues behind us. But must never forget that we
once were there. That fact-the contrast between
Akshak and the city Of today-is final answer to all
the doubters and pessimists of the world.

OF course, in almost any other
establishment where due regard was
held for efficiency, economy and dis
cipline an official or employee who
was deemed worthy Of punishment
would be punished either with more
work, less pay, demotion or dis
charge.
But Admiral Magruder, for some
reason or other, has been brought
before no court martial for demotion
or discharge.
And he is getting $1,000 a year
for doing no work at all! Surely
no man was ever before punished
by being relieved Of all work and
kept on the payroll. Even for ad-
mirals, such punishment is unpre-
cedented.
The admiral's status is waiting
orders" Secretary Wilbur said he
was going to put Magruder on duty
at the Navy Department and give
him facilities and opportunity to
work out plans for the navy's i'm
provement. But he didn't. He
merely put Magruder on a pleasant
and Indefinite vacation, despite Ma
gruder's announced Willingness to 60
before . court martial or do any
thing else he was told to do.
Wilbur wired Magruder in Phil
adelphia asking him to "submit
Immediately all detailed plans you
have now" for reorganization Of the
navy. Magruder, naturally, had no
such plans. He had simply advanced
general suggestions. Wilbur told
the newspapermen that Magruder
had been asked to submit plans,
leaving the impression that Ma
gruder was being given whatever
time was necessary to work them
out.
Then Wilbur brought Magruder to
Washington and told him to "await
orders" So Magruder has been
waiting.

LORD HALDANE'S DEMOCRACY
(New Ynrk Tiros\

passion showed itself what he said and did through
years IN advocacy Of education for the adult worker

man OF his day, able to converse and contend with
philosophers and scientists of all times from Democ-
rtus to Einstein, he yet gave his thought to those

only from intelligence and which in turn must depend

LUCIANO MEET
TO TOUCH ON
u. S. STANDS
League of Nations
Session Opening To-
day Is to Deal With
World Court
(By MELVILLE K. COLEMAN, Cable
Editor, The Associated Press.)


Lugano where the council of the
League of Nations opens its fifty
third session today. will be the CEN
ter Of interest this week for Eu-
ropc's international politicians. The
open program involves questions in
which the United States has a dis
tinct interest, notably the discussion
of the rules for the court of inter
national justice, a subject which
arose through the country's reser-
walton that IL must have the right
OF vetoing submission 70 the court
OF any subject in which there wa
direct American consideration.
The council is to debate arms and
armament in connection with the
failure last week of a special COM
mission at Geneva to frame a tenta-
tive convention for control Of the
manufacture Of weapons and NUM-
tions. That conference agreed 10
disagree. splitting over the old sub
ject of publicity on the products OF
government arsenals.
At Lugano Aristide BRAND Of
France, Gustav Stresemann Of Ger
many and Austen Chamberlain OF
Great Britain will meet "eye to eye
for the first time in nine mcnths
and while il has been agreed that
Germany's war Preparations payments
are temporarily out Of the interna.
tional field until the projected com
mission Of experts has reported
some months hence. there is every
probability that the three foreign
ministers will have something TO
say TO each other bearing on that
subject.
In several countries domestic ar.
fairs have been foremost in the pub.
lie mind. The British have been
watching anxiously the illness OF
King George and the French have
had their attention distracted by
the dissipation Of an investment
bubble which has reduced French
savings by $4,000, 900.
In J~ugo-Slavia the Croat separatist
movement ran into firmer resistance
by the Serbian elements when the
Belgrade cabinet appointed an army
colonel as project at Zagreb. The
Croatian leaders denounced this step
as imposing upon the Croats n ty-
ranny that not even the Austrian
Hungarian empire dared equal in
its days Of pre-war might.
