DIABETES PREVAILS IN SPITE
OF DEPRESSION

Among 10000 soldiers who passed
through a hospital in France where
routine urinalysiS was made in all
cases, only two were diabetic. If there
is any class of individuals subjected
to nerve strain" it is soldiers in
active service on the battle line.
Must be some other factor respon-
Sible for the prevalence of diabetes
in the United States.
A certain class of people, dare not
characterize them as of race or
religion, are famous for the way they
enjoy life when they prosper, and
equally famous for the way they
prosper. These people are more sub
ject to diabetes than any other class
of people in the country Among
them are perhaps more fat individ-
uals of mature age than there are
among any other class Of people in
the country. Barter is their instinct.
but they excel in the professions as
III business. 1 don't know whether
their besetting sin is overeating or
undereXercising, but I believe it is a
combination of the two that accounts
1O4 liINil pi CNllISSLloll lOl uAdUVtCS.
These people themselves are as neu-
rotic as they are prosperous; not only
do they go to pieces over emotional
trifleS but they are fond of ascribing
disturbances of health to nerve
strain or nervous breakdown"
Theoretically diabetes might be
supposed to decrease in prevalence
during hard times, but unfortunately
diabetes is rather a disease of the
Well-to-do, of the class that gets by
without doing much real work, and
this class is not the class that SUI
ferS from the depression. The parasitic
class makes the most noise wailing
over the sad state of the stock mar
ket and all that, but it is the honest
working class that suffers depriva-
ton, and diabetes is not a disease OF
the poorer class. nor Is it likely to
occur in the individual who earns his
living by the sweat of his brow.
For the special enlightenment OF
all our readers who are now training
for diabetes beg to suggest that six
miles of oxygen on the hoof every
day, Or the equivalent in any other
form of work, play or exercise you
prefer, is by all odds the best pre-

A Mysterious Figure.

Doctor Humphrey Maskell had
rented the first floor of one of
those old-fashioned houses that
line the north side of the park.
and had made the lower floor into
an office suite. AS we approached
the steps, we saw that a light was
burning behind the drawn shades
of the office windows. The doc
tors brass plate was fixed into
the bricks beside the front door.
Thatcher Colt and I were about
to mount the steps when a figure
suddenly appeared in the vestibule.
By the light shining through the
transom, we saw him clearly,
little man, bent forward as il
slightly hunchback. His hands
were sunk deep into his trousers
pockets, his eyes were sliding
obliquely and slyly from side to
side, as if he were watchful Of
a sudden attack. As he hesitated
moment, he muttered to him
self:
Get me to talk? Never. Get
to tell? Never. Think can re.
member? Never, never, never. But
Geraldine was kind to me-"
That last phrase - "But Ger.
aldine was kind to me" - seemed
to echo in the dark air. as he
rushed down the steps and fleA
past us without a glance. Across
the. street he hoped into the
parked square. and vanished
"Now, who do you suppose that

marble steps, he added: "He had

eyes were hot simian - they were
human, and dementedw

Little Details.

While he was waiting, Thatcher
Colt stood moodily in the center of
the living room, the fragment Of
paper in his hand, while his eyes
studied the linked letters with
brooding interest. Familiar with
the symptoms of his manner, l
watched him eagerly. Something
had occurred to him that we had
not noticed. Slowly he turned and
walked over to the desk, sat down,
studied a memorandum Betty had
left there, then lifted the desk
fountain pen from it's swivel holder
and began to write on a blank
sheet Of note-paper lying near his
hand.
What he was writing l could not
see. 1t was only short sentence,
and, having put down his pen, ne
showed the paper from him, regard
ed it frowningly, as if expecting it
at any moment to become Animal

Perhaps three minutes of utter
silence passed while he watched
that piece Of paper. Then he lift
ed it and held it close to his eyes,
slanting the paper to an oblique
position. looking sharply askance

Little Messengers

There are few better illustrations Of
the power Of pennies than that Of
fered by the annual Christmas seal
sale now in progress.
! No one gives enough to this effort
to impair his financial stability. Few,
If any, Of us give as much 10 this
worthy cause as we should, confirming
our purchases Of stamps to terms OF
pennies rather than Of dollars
Yet the aggregate of these pennies
finances one of the most important
public health enterprises in the his
tory of this or any other nation.
Through the years these small pur-
chases have enabled America TO re-
duce it's death rate from tuberculosis
to remarkable degree. This malady
which once was dread ScOurge,
spreading hopelessneSS and death
wherever it struck. now is recognized
for what it is, a disease which easily
can be prevented and which often
can be cured. The former appalling
death rate from this cause has shrunk
to relative insignificance in recent
years.
In North Dakota part of the
money from the sale of Christmas
seals goes to finance open-air camps
for children.
The value of these camps in pre-
serving the lives and health of chill
dren from poor families has been en-
phasized often enough, but few real
ize that undernouriShed children eX-
list almost as frequently in homes
where all needed foods arc available.
Sometimes children will not, or at !
least do not, eat the foods which are
set before them, thereby creating a
dietary problem with which many |
mothers are familiar.
Strangely enough the open-air |
camps have proved unusually benefit
cial in such cases. By a strange meta
morphosis of child psychology, chill !
dren who would not eat cereal at |
home, for example, grow to relish it
in different surroundings.
Thus those who can give, as we'll as
those who cannot, feel the beneficent
effects Of the work which is financed
by seal sales. All of us share indi-
rectly in better health for the entire |
community and reduction in the eco
nomic and other losses due to disease.
BY giving little each year for the
purchase of Christmas seals, graver
and more expensive problems are
averted.
Few things which we do at Christ
mas time are more closely related to
the spirit of the season than is the
purchase of these seals. 1t unites the
golden rule to that injunction for the
care of children which was uttered by
Him whose birth is the basis for the
celebration.

Eyes. l saw Geraldine when
she wrote that note. 1t was on the
morning of Christmas Eve. 1t was
my turn to get breakfast and she
was sitting at the desk, writing.
All at once she tore up her unfin-
ished letter and threw the pieces
into the waste basket. Then she
wrote another letter and later
mailed it."
"But how did this fragment
get way back there, behind the
desk drawer?"
For this Betty had no answer,
and Thatcher Colt lifted the orna-
mental waste basket behind the
escritoire.
"When did you empty this. bas-
ket last?" he asked.
"This morning. am sure those
torn-up pieces were still in there

Saturday,"
Thatcher Colt stalked to the tele-
phone, fixed on the wall of the
little entrance corridor, and called
the switchboard operator in the
Esplanade lobby:

Different Ink.

II don't know. But I am puz-
zled at one circumstance. The ink
with which I have just written is
not the same ink with which Ger
aldine Foster wrote that note, al
though both are purple. Geral-
dimes handwriting seems to me to
be in Waterman's ink - certainly
it is different from the fluid now
in this fountain pen-the metallic
glisten of this dried writing of
mine shows conclusively that
wrote with what is known as
Sheaffer's 'Skrip' - they call it
washable purple"
Without speaking, Betty turned
to closet and came back almost
instantly with bottle of ink in
her hand.
"How amazingw she exclaimed.
THAT is exactly the name on the
label!-Skrip"
Thatcher Colt smiled grimly.
"That isn't the amazing part"
he said. "What is truly extra
ordinary is that these notes are
written in different ink but with
the same pen."
