piece that was in use before 1918, with
the old liberty head, attained so much
popularity in Asia that it has a regular
premium value attached to it, and sells
for about 81. The new model of the
same coin tends to drop complot tely out
of monetary channels also, though
there isn't any premium on it.
This year banks are meeting all the
gold demand from stocks on hand In
spite of the fact that metal coinage,
except for subsidiary and minor pieces,
has been thoroughly displaced by paper
all over the country, nearly all banking
institutions keep a small portion OF
their reserve in gold pieces and hold it
in their own vaults aside from the great
bulk OF monetary gold in the Treasury
and Federal Reserve vaults. This local
store meets most of the Christmas de-
mand for coins to give away and is
replenlShed when the money comes back
after the holidays. So general is the
disuse of large coins becoming that I
rather look flor the eventual disappear
ance of the silver half dollar. We are
finding diminishing demand for it
now"
1t is one of the odd things about
the stock market panic of last October

and, to small extent in 1921, some
frightened people came in to exchange
paper money for gold, having come to
doubt the permanent value of anything
else. This year there was but a single
request of the kind during the ex-
tremity of prices made by a man who
wanted S280,000 from Government gold
stocks, but who concluded to take gold
certificates after discovering that the
metal money would weigh nearly half
a ton.

YOUR HEALTH

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
 (Editor Journal of the American
 Medical Association and of fly
 geia, the Health Magazine)
 For almost seven years insuln has been available to the person with diabetes. AS result of educa- , tion in the use of this substance the lives of diabetics have been pro- longed.
 Now D. S. F. Adams asserts that a patient suffering with un- complicated diabetes may live as long AS his non-dia bette neighbor of ths same age. The diabetic must, however, control his exist ence carefully and any slip in his technic of living may bring him bad health and even early death.
 In the first place the diabetic intelligent. He must learn to recognize the symptoms of danger and to avert them in their incipi- ency. He must live constantly with his diabetes in mind. There. fore, a careful slow thinker is better off under these circum- stances than is a cereless intellec- tual giant.
 The patient with a mild form of diabetes gets along better than the one with a severe form of the disease. Diabetics must be par tir, To r,1 F,t1 f ,,,fo tions. An infection such as d boil which is not especially se- rious to a non-diabetic may quick ly assume sufficient virulence to cause death in a diabetic.
 Dr. Adams points out that the ideal occupation of a person with | diabetes is one which will permit him to have regular hours and which will not demand violent physical exercise. Persons who travel much or who are engaged in heavy physical work are not and their insulin as well as those who have less active occupations. The ideal life for the diabetc per- son is Of course to live at home and to be able 10 eat all of his meals there.
 A significant observation is the fact that diabetes is not a poor mans disease The person who requires insulin finds that it costs from s2 to $l5 a month for his supply of the drug. The person with diabetes usually has to hav4 special Hours. foods. chemicals for tests of the eXcretions, and a cer- tain amount of atteption from physicians and nurses regularly. | These things are all fairly eXpen- sive and the diabetic is better off if he keeps himself fit 10 earn his way than if he is dependent wholly on others.
 Diabetes is disease which bears no trifling. If it is treatad badly or if the patient is indiffer- ent as 10 his care the results are promptly unfortunate. The dis | case is. in its severity Of reaction an indication Of the care that is being taken to combat it.
 Here again, mankind is invari- ably the victim of his own isnor- ance and perhaps of his stupidity Medical science has provided the knowledge, but human beings do not choose 10 avail themselves fully of that knowledge.
