HEALTH AND
DIET
BY Logan Clendening-

The actual advantage Of hav-
ing diabetes and the health
giving qualities of the diabetic
diet for the middle-aged were
pointed out yesterday. But the
diabetic has been greatly IA
vored by medical discovery in
the use of insulin. The middle
aged or elderly diabetic can
get on very well with little in
sulin or without it entirely.
The young child with diabetes
can hardly get along at all
without insulin.
Reports on InSulin.
We are just beginning to learn
how marvellous the benefits
from the use of insulin have
been. It took time to bring
this out. For instance, here is
a report on 100 patients care
fully studied. They had been
on insulin five to eight years.
First, food tolerance. That is
a great item. When severe
diabetic starts out on treat
ment the amount of sugar that
can be consumed without in
Sulin is very low. Even on
dietary treatment alone, which
keeps the body sugar free, this
tolerance usually rises. But
with the prolonged use of in
Sulin it has been found to go
up tremendously. Twenty-eight
cases on diet alone before the
days Of insulin increased their
food tolerance 200 to 1000
calories.
After five years of insulin q
of them had increased it far
beyond this. Seven patients
were barely maintaining the
lowest, diet possible to maintain
weight (not growth) without
any exertion. It is hard to i'm
agine what that means; if they
ate just a little more than
enough to maintain a low
weight, if they at all satisfied
their appetites, they showed
sugar. After insulin they could
have more than enough to main
tain weight ard growth and
keep hunger satisfied without
danger.
Amount Is Reduced
The amount of insulin re-
quired is frequently reduced. So
that the patient can look for.
ward to taking less insulin after
a certain period. This factor is
somewhat complicated by the
youthful age of patients for
whom insulin is most valuable.
Under insulin treatment they
are likely to grow, and when
their bodies get larger they re-
quire more food. The ability to
utilize sugar does not keep pace
with the body's growth. So in
some of these rapidly growing
patients more inSulin instead Of
less is required. When inSulin
has been begun in a fully grown
person with severe diabetes, the
amount can. almost invariably
be cut down in time.

THE BEAUTY
BOX

Why is it that the plain girl,
rather than the pretty one, is
often the life of the party? Be-
cause, instead of looking into
her mirror, she has profitable
inner reflections. She does some
tall and heavy thinking. She
must make up for lack of looks,
the perfect profile, the aiabaster
complexion, by delightful social
qualities. She aims to make
herself charming. She avoids
making herself tireSome. She
plays up to others, bringing out
their best offerings, and so gains
a reputation for being a good
fellow, friendly, companiohable,
amiable, charming. Selah!
Some do. Not all by a long

CHAPTER SO

She was not particularly
moved by the story of Lorri-
mer, faithful to her these 10,
II years, brooding, longing,
wrecked on the thought Of her
loss, crucified on the cross of
love. She was a very practical
woman now; life had made her
that. She thought him rather
a fool to have gone on caring,
dismissed the whole situation,
or part of it, with the tolerant
idea that if he'd been well and
normal he would have forgotten
as she had forgotten. Here,
she saw eye to eye with Mar
garet Lorrimer, although she
didn't realize it. Money. There
must be money in the family.
Money meant, not what it had
once meant-luxury and laugh
ter-but safety, ordinary pro-
lection. Money could buy her
shelter, free her from certain
sordid necessities. She might
even come to. the place where
she would no longer worry over
where her next meal was COM
ing from.
She, felt a sudden hatred of
this unknown woman, Lorri-
mer's mot her, who, she
Shrewdly SurmiSed, was entirely
capable of never telling the en-
tire truth to her son, Of allow
ing the girl he had loved to go
out Of the country, alone and
friendless, pennilesS and frantic
with apprehension, unknowing
that help had been so near.
She didn't want Larrimer. She
didn't want any man. She
loved no one, would never love
again, she fancied, sitting there
staring at Mary Lou, and listen
ing to her as the soft, husky
voice went on, giving chapter
and verse. filling in the details,
painting a circumStantial pic
ture of the deception.
But she wanted safety. And
fate had put an ace in her
hands!
why did you decide to come
to me?" asked Delight abruptly
as Mary Lou paused for breath.
1T was fair to you, to Lorry,"
answered Mary Lou, forgetting
formality, and her voice soft
ened a little.
"So-you call him that, too?"
demanded the other woman.
Will Lose Her Job
Eyes, because you did. He
told me so," Mary Lou replied
simply.
Il see. You'll lose your job
over this!" Delight commented,
with brutal @rankness.
II know. But it had to go,
anyway. I couldn't keep on
with it. Things were getting
too difficult, too complicated.
On the face Of it, it couldn't
continue-f0rever."
Delight nodded. No use in
pressing the girl for further ex-
plantations. But there was just
one thing she wanted to know
must ask:
"He-he believes you his
wife?"
Mary Lou nodded.
"Of course"
"But how -?"
Mary Lou was scarlet, but she
kept her eyes steadily on those
other blue eyes, SO like and so
unlike her own.
