hsulin Lengthens Life
OF Diabetic Child
BY DR. M0RkIS FISHBEIN
Editor. Journal Of the American Medical Association
and Of Hygeia, the Health Magazine

Discovery Of insulin has made it possible for child
rem, who have the disease. to live long and useful
lives.
However, there is no disease affecting mankind In
which life and death are so close together as they
are in diabetes in children. because the failure to
use insulin when needed will result promptly in the
appearance Of the unconsciousness called coma which
moves on into death. The responsibility, therefore,
Of everyone connected with the care Of the condition,
including parents. nurses and doctors Is great.
Diabetes Is rare in infancy and quite infrequent
I'D to the age Of four years. Most OF the cases In
children come on during the period between 8 and
u years.
The structure Of the body. or lack OF certain parts
responsible for diabetes, may have some heredity con-
nection.
In the control Of diabetes, it is not only necessary
to use insulin which supplies the material that Is
not given to the body by the pancreas in such cases.
but also to control the diet. It must be borne in
mind that children require food not only for their
daily needs but also for tissue repair and body growth.
However. the diabetic child should never eat more
food than is necessary, since an excess Of FOOD VIII
result in an excess Of sugar in the blood.
The highest total number OF caories allowed for
the child with diabetes is 1900 daily. Beyond that
the diet Of the diabetic child differs little from
the well-balanced diet Of the normal child. and 1t
avoids all extremes In sugars.
In giving insulin in such cases. the best method Is
to use the least possible daily amount. Frequently
these children get along with two injections OF the
insulin daily. but in some cases three are required.
An overdose of insulin results in a serious condition
namely, a lack OF sugar in the blood, which pro-
duces severe symptoms. Everyone associated with the
child must be informed concerning these symptoms
This includes particularly the teachers who take
care Of the child when 1t is away from its parents
and nurses.
With the use Of insulin more and more children
are developing TO advanced years. and there is some
hope in the fact that occasionally the development
OF the gland called the pancreas Is such that less and
less insulin becomes necessary.
A complete cure Of the disease is not expected.
There is some evidence. however. that in some cases
the disease stops advancing when the child is fun
grown.
The occurrence Of any other disease at the same
time. Of course. lays a special burden on the diabetic
child.

THUGS HOLD UP

Peters we're warned today to
stay off Prince Georges county
roads as long as the gang of col

county is at large.
The warning grew out of a case
last night at Landover, where a
young boy and girl were held UP
by thugs who already have killed
one man and robbed scores OF
others.
A group of Bladensburg Fire
Department members Immediately
Joined police last night in scour-
ing the country near Landover
in search of the men, who are
still using Constable Dayton's
car, stolen from the officer two
weeks ago.
Prince Georges police are not
plentiful enough, said Chief j. j.
Crowley, for them to patrol the
county and keep sideroads clear,
Constables and bailiffs and volun-
teers have responded readily in
searching for the robbers, but
persons who park and make
themselves a ready target for a
holdup are making the problem
harder.

In that the robbers merely took
the youths car keys when they
found he had no money, and

received by DR.. Enrique Borde-

young men anxious to join the

The letters are from university
graduates, ex-service men and
young men who confess they
have no military experience but
are confident they would make
good soldiers. Veterans, older
men, sometimes offer to enlist in
groups of so or more.
The biggest surprise was the
offer of a high-ranking officer of
the U. S. Army to resign his post
and take command of the Para
guayan forces. This offer DR..
Bordenav3 regarded so important
that he called the President of
Paraguay for instructions.
All requests, however, including
that of the distinguished mill
