DISCOVERY Of new
HORMONE RELATED
Canadian Doctors Believe
Substance viii Greatly Aid
in Diabetes Cases.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Ontario July 6-Experi-
ments establishing the possibility of an
other new hormone which may have
far-reaching effects on diabetes are
published by the Royal Society of Eng
land.
Hormones are secretions of ductless
glands. The new one appears to come
from the membrane of the duodenuIn.
The Royal Society report is from DR..
A. Bruce MacCallum, dean of the Uni
versity of Western Ontario Medical
School, and Dr. N. B. Laughton. They
describe several years work at Western
Ontario, in which they have isolated
this unidentified substance from rab-
bits, dogs, hogs and cattle. 1t is con-
tanned in a very lightweight powder
from the duodenal membrane.
Differs From Others.
They classify it as different from in
sulin and secretin, two other well known
hormones important in diabetes.
But like these two, and like all other
hormones, minute amount of the new
stuff produces a powerful effect. The
duodenal powder reduces blood sugar
very quickly, either when injected un-
der the skin or when taken by mouth.
Insulin also reduces blood sugar, but
in a strikingly different way. The re-
port points out that overdoses of in
sulin can reduce blood sugar below
normal, with resulting severe shock that
leads to death unless quickly corrected.
Can't Go Below Normal.
The new active substance seems capa-
BILE of reducing blood sugar only to
normal, but not below. A few tests of
human patients seem to confirm this.
In spite Of insulin, diabetes is still
mostly incursble, and medicine has long
suspected that additional substances
must be found to account for the dis
ease. Insulin, miracle of medicine,
is not a cure, but a substitute for the
body's own secretion. 1t keeps alive
and In fairly good health persons who
formerly had no hope. To remain alive
they must usually keep on taking in
sulin indefinitely.
The Royal Society announcement
says that experiments on human pa
tients are expected to continue for four
or five years. 1t states also that hos
pitals in the United States as well as
in Canada are cooperating in the re-
search.

BEDTIME STORIES
By HOWARD E. GARRIS
Copyright 1923. By Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate

Bob Cat ran off through the woods
and after a moment the owl said
to himself: Il must fly quickly and
awaken Bub and Uncle Wiggily so
the Bob Cat cannot get them"
Quickly the owl flew to the
bungalow. He perched in a tree
near an open window and loudly
called: "Whool Whool Whoo!"
This hooting awakened Little
Bub in his crib near Baby Bunty.
Sitting up, Bub found the tennis
ball he had taken to sleep with
him.
GO away, Mr.. Owl! Go away!"
called the little boy He threw the
ball out of the window with all his
might. But, instead of hitting the
owl, the ball hit the Bob Cat on
his nose and he cried: "Yowl
Yowl" and ran far, far away.
In the morning when Uncle
Wiggily learned how bravely Bub
had acted, the rabbit gentleman
said:
what would you like to have
Bub?"
"a big red balloon!" said the
little boy. So after breakfast, Un-
Gle Wiggily hoped with Little But
to the toy store and bought the
largest balloon in the shop.
LET me hold It'll Let me holc
It'll" begged Little Bub. He took
hold of the string, which Uncle
Wiggily gave him, and the next
second a very strange thing hap
pened. You shall hear about it in
the next story, which will be about
Uncle Wiggily and Bulbs basket.

put stones in the rice pudding in

UNCLE WIGGILY AND BUB'S
BALLOON.

Little Bub was sleeping in
crib next to Baby Bunty in the
hollow stump bungalow of Uncle
Wiggily Longears. Bub, who was
| the color of the rainbow you often
see in soap bubbles, was small
boy who could speak and under
stand rabbit talk as well as his
own, which his mother and father
spoke when Bub was at home.
The funny part of it was,
though, that Bub was very seldom
at home. He was always running
away and having adventures, just
like Uncle Wiggily. It was on one
CT these adventures that Bub had
come to see the rabbit gentleman.
Bub had played with Baby Bunty,
the orphan, and the other rabbit
boys and girls, but the little boy
didn't want to go home when
night came. He started but an owl
bird called "Whoo! Whool Whoop
at him and Bub ran back to the
bungalow.
Uncle Wiggily telephoned to
Bulbs mother and she said he
might stay all night.
Just give him a ball to cuddle
in his crib and he will be all right"
said Bulbs mother.
Doesn't he look cute!" whis-
pered Mrs. Longears, the rabbit
lady, to her husband as they look
ed at Bub sleeping in his crib.
Very cute" said Mr.. Longears.
He is a jolly little chap and our
bunny boys and girls will love to
have him play with them"
II hope he doesn't bang any of
them with that ball." whispered
Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, the
muskrat lady housskeeper. All
three of the grown-up animals
were speaking in whispers for they
did not want to awaken Bub or
any of the sleeping rabbit child
ren.
II guess he's too little to throw
balls" said Mrs. Longears.
They took a last look at Bub,
who was sleeping with one chub-
by hand around the old tennis
ball Uncle Wiggily had found for
him. Bub, you know, was a real
boy, SO he had hands. The bum
ny children had paws and wore
fur suits.
"He is very sweet" whispered
the rabbit lady as she saw Bulbs
golden hair and his red cheeks.
She could not see his blue eyes
for the lids were over them in
sleep. But it was his golden hair,
red cheeks and blue eyes that
made Bub look like the rainbow in
a soap bubble. In fact, his name
"Bub' was short for Bubble"
After a while the bungalow was
very still and quiet, for Uncle Wig
gily, his wife and Nurse Jane were
asleep, as were the rabbit child
rem and Bub. And it was then, in
the middle of the night, that the
Bob Cat, with his silly little tail,
roaming through the woods saw
the owl bird and heard him hoot:
"Whoo! Whoo! Whool"
81 am Mr.. Bob Cat" answered
the Bad Chap with his silly little
tail, no larger than your thumb.

fast asleep now, and so is Uncle

HOW ABOUT CATS?

A RE cats more desirable than dogs?
n Lovers of both animals may argue
at length upon that question without
agreeing upon the answer. And many
who stand by Fido will wonder why he
is subject to a tax while Sir Thomas is
not.
Several months ago a national mag
azine carried an extensive article on this
subject in which various authorities were
quoted on the injustice of taxing dog
owners while those who own cats escape
such taxation. In fairness it would seem
highly advisable to tax cat owners too.
Fairness would also prompt us to state
that the privately owned cat, while he
may at times become nuisance, on the
whole is fairly we'll behaved animal.
But every city or settlement has its
quota of unowned, unhonored and un-
sung but singing, stray cats. AS carriers
OF disease such cats are vigorously con-
demned by medical authorities. This is
particularly true in cities where most of
these animals live upon garbage.
AS destroyers of birds, cats are with
out peer. Wisconsin has outlawed the
cat, except under rigorous control, be-
cause of the destruction the animals
cause among the birds.
Locally there are numerous stray cats
who roam around the city in true cat
fashion, eating here, sleeping there and
raising families everywhere. Raising is
not quite the proper term, for the cats
are only responsible for the advent of
the family and then the latter Cor litter)
is left for the neighborhood to raise.
Cats should be restricted in number
to those who actually are household pets
and for whom their owners are willing to
pay a tax. The remainder of the cat
family should be- eXterminated They
serve no good purpose and are an unmiti-
gated nuisance by day and by night.
incidentally mention of the need for
humane officer here is not out of place
in this discussion of animals. At present
there is no such officer and occasions
arise when the need of one is imperative
Such an incident occurred some months
ago when several horses enroute through
the valley had to be killed because of
injuries received due to improper hand
ling. Nobody was punished for that af-
fair.
Even though stray cats and dogs may
be considered a nuisance, they should
never be treated cruelty, nor should any
animal be subjected to cruelty or in
jury by thoughtless persons. A humane
officer to whom complaints could be
made when need arises, and who is suf-
ficiently experienced to handle such
cases, should be available here.

DISTRICT CUTS TAX RATE

DEDUCTION of its tax rate by the I'M
II perial Irrigation District will be good
news to thousands of landowners in I'M
perial Valley, many of whom will now be
able to see way out of the difficulties
which have confronted them for the past
two years.
The psychological benefits of the re-
duction are almost as great as the fin
anclal. 1t gives encouragement to the
overburdened rancher and he needs en-
couragement almost as much as he needs
money
Instead of So on S1OO valuation. as in
the past, the directors have set a new
rate of S1.50 OF course since the rate
was set last year water tolls have been
imposed on the ranchers. The old rate
gave free water, with the result that
many ranchers were careless when irri-
eating, using far more water than they
needed and wasting a great deal, all of
which increased district expense
The water tolls mean that a rancher
pays for what he uses, thus placing on
him the burden of being careful. Under
this system he is not likely to use more
than he needs and will be watchful to
see that no water is wasted.
The new rate, the district hopes, will
bring in a high percentage of redemption
of delinquent lands. 1t offers reduc-
tion that is bound to be attractive to the
delinquent land owner and induce him
to pay up his delinquency and keep his
land in the clear
Directors of the district are to be con-
graduated for taking courageous step.
By it they have showed their willingness
to decrease the burden of the taxpayer
and work with him in helping to solve his
problem.
They offer a startling contrast to the
board of supervisors, which has increased
taxation instead of reducing it. Had the
supervisors shown the same willingness
to consider the public welfare, there is
little doubt that they too could have re-
duced the tax rate, or at least main
tanned the old one.
With examples all over the country of
municipalities and political subdivisions
slashing to the bone and eXerting every
effort to decrease taxes, Imperial coun-
tvs supervisors went the other way, with
an increase of 48 cents.
1t is certainty that the action by the
district directors has done much to in
crease faith of the valley in their ability
to pull the district out of the hole and
lead it through the unsettled condition
in which it has found itself
Their action should serve as a stimu-
liant to landowners throughout the valley
to show an equally broadminded spirit
and work with the board to the end that
sufficient revenue may be obtained for
all needs.
