SECRETS OF
HEALTH
-By DE-. Q. a. D. Reed-

y
You doubtless can recall the
great popular interest THAT was
aroused i few years ago BY the
announcement that workers IN
Canada had succeeded in isolating
substance which would counter
act the dread disease OF diabetes.
This subs ance was called insulin.
1t has been very widely used
ever since 1t came on the market.
The statistics in England show q
marked decrease ia the death rate
for women of SIS and over and did
not follow the same diminishing
curve as the death rates Of other
individuals from diabetes.
Some people have suggested that
the reaction against restricted diet
and too great faith in ilsulin &C
counts for this. Others say that
diabetes is not the only cause of
elderly women passing sugar in
their urine. 1t is inferred from
these facts that deaths are some
times wrongly ascribed.
Professor Rabinowitch. OF Mon
treaL has just published the re-
suit of six years use of insulin in
the General Hospital there. This
study embraced 1915 patients.
Most of these patients were under
constant supervision, although of
course a few of them disappeared
after leaving the clinic. Before
the introduction of insulin the
known mortality was - per cent
This rate had fallen IL per cent
last year. This decline seems to
make it pretty clear that the use
of insul1n has reduced the gen.
eral death rate from diabetes.
To overcome certain statistical
difficulties in comparing different
years the author calculated Tor
each of the years 1921-17 the num-
Der of deaths he would have ex-
pected among his diabetic patients
if they had been subject to the
general rates of mortality Tor
their age and sex.
In 1921 diabetic was 5,S6
times more likely to die than a
person of the same sex and age
without diabetes. In 1922 he was
actually Sc times more liable to
death. But when insulin became
general, in 1929, he was only Is
times more likely, and in 1927 his
liability to death was hardly
greater than of the non-diabetic
1.O7 per cent. Although the dis
ease is still more fatal in early
life, the decline in mortality Is
greatest among these young peo-
ple. Moreover, insulin markedly
diminishes the dangers of a sur
gical operation In 1922 there
were performed 81 operations at
the Montreal Hospital, with eight
deaths In 1885 there were IS
operations, with only four deaths.
These figures show contrast
with the figures of the registrar
for England. They are also i'll
contrast with the general figures
throughout the country in can
ada. The discrepancy suggests
that, outside special hospitals in
sulin is not doing all that 1t might
do. Most probably, Prof. Rabino.
witch thinks, it Is not being used
properly. 1t is essential for dla-
betics and their friends to realize
that insulin is not an alternative
to strict dieting. y.

This is because a man would
sooner die clutching his road map
than to ASK the WAY! For some
deep, dark, unfathomable reason,
a man would rather be caught
stealing sheep or cutting his own
hair than to lower his morale by
admitting that he is on the wrong
road. It would break his spirit!
A woman seldom bothers to
take road map. She hasn't any
time to study one. and anyhow
she is too busy asking CUES
TIONS! She can go farther,
straighter and quicker on a
powder puff and the strength Of
her own voice than a man can on
seven road maps.
To a man. a policeman is some
thing to get past; but to a
woman. a policeman is just some
body to answer questions. She
often stops and asks his "advice"
about the roads, even when she
knows them by heart. Why
WASTE perfectly good police
man?
But a man will go miles out of
his way rather than DEMEAN
himself by admitting that q blue
hat and coat give any other man
the authority to TELL him any
thing. When it comes to lad
vice." he believes firmly that 1t is
better to give than to receive
and that's his guiding principle!

Hot Dog Stands Are
Cleaner, State Says

Hot dog stands and pop wagons at
North Dakota fairs have improved
their methods Of doing business until
at present they need little watching,
according to r. o. Baird, state food
commissioner and director Of the
state regulatory department.
During the last two months Baird
has directed his inspectors to keep
close watch on all the fairs, both
large and small, and report any vio-
lations of state food laws.
Baird pointed out that as food
stands at fairs seldom remain in one
town more than q few days at one
time, the cleanliness problem is q
minor one. However, in former
years, much difficulty was encount-
cred in forcing the stand proprietors
to state the exact quality Of the
drinks they are selling. In many
cases they were selling drinks made
from imitation syrups and other con-
coctions and insinuating the contents
was pure fruit juice.
At present, however. he said, the
vendors are very willing to COOPER

on any suggestions from inspectors
regarding sanitation and the placing

NORTH DAKOTA 1923
CROPS ARE ASSURED

Fargo. N. D., Aug. 2.-R,-N North
Dakota's 1923 crop is practically as
sured Of maturing without conse-
quential damage by rust, and is one
of the best crops the state has had
in the last Is years. in the opinion
of DIR. II. Z. Humphrey, pathologist
in charge of the rust investigation
for the bureau Of plant industry Of
the United States department Of ag-
riculture.
Dr. Humphrey, who was here last
night on his fourteenth annual tour
of North Dakota investigating crop
conditions and possible damage done
by black stem rust, believes harvest
will be in full swing within a week
if weather conditions are at all IA
vorable to the maturing Of the
grains.
On arrival here DR.. Humphrey
had completed tour of some 1000
miles, and based his comments on
observations made in the past 10
days that he has spent in North
Dakota.
"At Wahpeton Tuesday / saw a
number of wheat fields being har-
vested, and some of these will easily
run is to 20 bushels to the acre.
These fields had not been damaged
by rust" DR.. Humphrey said.

expert were the number of sweet
clover and alfalfa fields which he
has noted throughout the state.

direction that capitol employees be

them to visit the fair.
The governors suggestion was

the board Of administration from the
executive mansion this morning.
This is Bismarck Day at the fair.
Governor Sorlie was permitted to

executive found, however, that he
was weaker than he had permitted
himself to believe, and returned to

tured few of the animals short

lisR farm with them.
This information is given in re-
port Of Theodore Martell. Grant

Martell reports that ladak alfalfa
and alfalfa seed, which has been
introduced by the experimental sta
tion at Fargo, is producing good hav
in the county. The seed was planted
on the J. w. Evans farm near Car
son.
A statement of Professor Yaeger
of the state agricultural college at
Fargo, that sunshine sweet corn
would have earlier growth than any
other sweet corn, has been proved
by demonstration in Grant county,
Martell says. Several farmers have
planted the seed that was sent from
the experimental station. Samples
of the corn stand over seven feet to-
day, tasseled and silked, with fairly
good-sized ears.

HEAVY LOADS
TEST PLANES
IN RARE AIR
60 Huskies and Malamutes
Trained to Haul Sledgcs
Over Ice Cap
TRACTORS TO BE USED
Specially Constructed Ship to
Carry Transportation Equip
ment

New York, Aug. 2.-(AP)-Air-
planes, husky dogs, tractors, snow
mobiles and sledges are TO share the
transportation burden when Comm.
Richard f. Byrd and his south polar
expedition reach Antarctica.
A tri-motored Ford. a single mo-
tored Fairchild and single -motored
Fokker--all monoplanes-are the
aircraft chosen for the battles with
the thin, treacherous air and the
vicious gales Of the lofty southern
continent. The ships were tested
vigorously with heavy loads at high
attitudes before they were accepted,
mr. most Of the work they will be
Jailed on to do will take them over
land that is at mean elevation of
nearly 1000 feet.
Planes have been used with bril-
liant success in the Arctic. Byrd, of
course, flew from Kings Bay. Spitz-
bergen. to the North Pole and back
and also made important flights in
Greenland. Capt. Sir George Hubert
Wilkins took a heavier than air craft
across the top of the world. But
never has propeller turned on the
Antarctic continent, where the
problems Of flight are considerably
more difficult.
Dogs Still Best
Dogs have a long record of salts
factory service in polar transporta-
tion. and not even the airplane has
outdated them. Commander Byrd is
taking so huskies and malamutes.
trained by Arthur T. Walden Of
Wonalancet. N. H., to haul the
sledges on the many side trips to be
made by members of the expedition.
They will be used. too, in laying
down the sub bases along the route
of the polar flight, an assignment
that will send them in all over $500
miles of ice and snow. A special
team Of light dogs may ride in the
plane that takes off for the pole,
but their services will be needed only
in the event that an forced landing
nccessitates an overland dash to the
nearest sub base.
Tractors and snowmobiles Of var
ious tyres have been employed in the
Antarctic by other explorers. The
Byrd party expects to use these ma
chimes in transporting heavy equip
nlent in and about the base camp.
No polar expedition can venture
far afield without sledges. drawn by
dogs or men. or both. and so these
Antarctic adventurers are taking
many such vehicles for the hard Jour-
neys that await the exploring par
ties.
Barque Carries Supplies
The first transportation problem
to be solved by the expedition is the
movement of men. supplies and
equipment to the base on the Ross
Sea ice barrier. This job has been
assigned to the stocky barque Sam
son, which was built for lust the sort
of sailing afforded by the southern
ocean.
Constructed in Norway in 1885 as
mother ship for whalers, the 512.-
ton vessel was designed to weather
icy seas and has a record of many
years of service in the sub-arctic.
Her hull is slightly wedge shaped,
enabling her to rise when the ice
exerts its tremendous pressure. Her
bow is mighty ram that butts a
passage through the stubborn floes.
