three things-any one Of the
glands may be overactive,. giving
out too much secretion, or, second,
it may be underactive, giving out
none or a diminished secretion; or
third, it may give out a changed
secretion, although this last is
somewhat theoretical.
To reduce or neutralize the over
active secretion we have several
methods. In the case Of the thy
roid gland, which so often gets off
track in this way, it is possible,
for instance, to remove part Of the
gland by surgical operation, or to
reduce it's activity by exposure to
the X-ray.
But other means are at hand for
endocrine overfunction in certain
glands. There has been described
within recent years a peculiar con-
dition that is the opposite of dia-
beteS. In diabetes we know that
there is a reduction in the secre-
ton Of insulin in certain cells in
the pancreas. But it is also pos
sible for these cells to secrete too
much "a condition that has been
calico "hyper-insulinism". The pa
tient behaves Just as if he had had

an overdose Of insulin. The dag
nosis usually can be made by hear
ing the patient recite his symptoms
over the telephone. He complains
of weakness nervousness and
trembling Before meals, relieved by
the meal. It is an exaggeration of
the all-gone feeling experienced by
many people when they are hungry.
The treatment is to give them
something to eat preferably
sugar-in other words, blotting
paper for the insulin.
Surgery May BE Inevitable
The secretion of one endocrine
gland often stimulates another one,
so it is sometimes possible to
achieve the desired result on one
gland by attacking a far distant
spot. In the case of the adrenal
and pituitary glands, their In
creased activity is often associ-
ated with a tumor, so that in spite
Of the difficulty of approach. surgi-
cal removal is inevitable.
When the gland is failing in
function, the idea has been to try
to replace the secretion by feeding
or injections of healthy glands
from amin als. An enormous
amount of ingenuity has been ex-
pended on obtaining the secre.
lions of the various glands in pure
form. To date the following ac-
tive ones have been isolated: thy
roid extract, costin and adrenalin
from different parts of the adrenal
gland, theelin and other similar ex-
tracts from the ovary-nine in all.
The success of their application
varies. Thyroid and insulin are
the most successful Adrenalin al
ways acts, but more like a drug
than like replacement therapy.
The others sometimes work bril-.
liantly, sometimes are very disap-
pointing-this is because the up
sets in the endocrine system are SO
complicated that our crude at
tempts to initiate them leave out
important factors still beyond our
grasp.

Cancer Control Work
 Undertaken By State
Misinformation, Illness Form Deadly Combination; Consult Physician - Don't Be Advised By
 Friends Warn Health Officials

The State Department Of Health, in undertaking cancer control work throughout the state, Is bending every effort to see that people may procure literature on the subject 50 that they may ultimately obtain ge. curity through knowledge, Herbert Hirschc, research Statisticinn of the Bureau of Prevcntable Disease of the State Department of Health, said in the departments weekly broadcast to-day, appearing on the weekly program for the first time since his appointment.
 Mir. Hirsche, whose work is prln- cipally tho compilation of data which will serve as c bnRe for tho fight of cancer, declared that in the final analysis, if deaths from can- cer are to be reduced, some method must be devised whereby better co" operation between patient and phy. BIcian can be maintained, 50 that the disease can Dc treated while it is still in it's curablo stages. This is no simple procedure, ho said, be. cause, human nature being what it is, it has been found from expcri- ence that cancer patients delay, on the average, more than Q year Do forc they enter hospitals for troat- nent. When ono realizes that with each month of delay in the treat- ment the chance of cure becomes less and that delay of oven ono month, in some instances, is Buffi- cient to convert curable case Into an incurabie one, it is not hard to see why cancer Is such Q formidable problem.
 Consult Doctor
 Naturally only Q physician con diagnose cancer and advise the cor- rect treatment, yet each citizen can do much in furthering the cause of cancer control by iinparting sound information to unsuspecting persons, MT. HirBche stated. Everyone at ono time or another is called upon for advice concerning the ills of friends and relatives, and tho advice that is given may be just enough to sway an individual along the right or wrong course. Hundreds have paid tho death penalty because friends
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-01-31

have unintentionally suggested uses less remedies instead of insisting upon immediate consultation with Q physician. Misinformation and cans cor are Q deadly combination. Con- sequently everyone should equip himself with sufficient knowledge and apply 1t when the occasion arises.
 Cancer control is thus largely . community problem and ono in which every citizen can materially help, ho said. The driving force necessary to help patients along tho right road fnugt como from . spirit of community health consciousness, shared by oil. The problem of can- cer is "everybodyB business," and i've must learn to recognize that cancer is not such Q deadly disease unless we ourselves make it 50 by refusing to cooperate with those who from experience know how to deal with it." Literature concerning tho disease may be obtained without cost of addressing the State Department of Health.

SLIGHT LET-UP
 PROMISED HERE
Temperature Expected to Rise in Next "A Hours;
 Little Snow Falls

Only a slight let-up in the cold wave that has been in existence for the past two weeks is promised for the next 24 hours by the weather man. At noon today, the tempera- fure was only IS degrees above zero, m disappointment to Waterbury's tl1ousafids who had anticipated mild- er weather with the dawn.
 Light snow fell early this morning but 1t did not persist when the sun broke through the clouds. At mid. night last night 1t was 9 degrees above zero, according to the Demo- crats recording thermometer. At o'clock this morning 1t was seven degrees above and at o'clock it was 6 degrees above.
 The mercury then began an up- ward climb. At 9 o'clock the tenn perature was 10 degrees above zero and at il o'clock the l3-degree above level was reached. At noon the i6-degree mark was reached. The weatherman promises no seri- ctls iet-up in the cold although he predicts . slightly warmer tempera- tliro.

 Every year or so Herman Chris tian comes down from his home in the CatskillS to catch foxes on the Erskine lakes preserve. This great preserve, which cover some 90 square miles of mountains, lakes and riv- CTS in northern Passaic county, was established about five years ago m the interest of better hunting and fishing for the general public. Is open to the public on cost-main. tenance basis, and is administered as e strictly ylon- n-profit- t-making, non. commercial enterprise. Thousands Of trout and bass are stocked Into It's 25 miles of rivers and brooks and many lakes each year, and thou- sands of rabbits, pheasantS and quail released over it's broad acres. FOXY AS A FOX
 Wild life experts say that game birds and game animals can never be abundant until natural "preda. tors" are exterminated or kept well down in number. Such "prcdatorS" are foxes, skunks, weaSes, hawks, crows and owls--and the greatest, the slyest md the deadliest of these Is the fox.
 "A fox will kill and eat at least one pheasant, rabbit, squirrel or ruffed grouse every day" says Her. man Christian. That's Q lot of game in Q years time--a lot that tho hunter never gets--and Q lot of money in dollars and cents when 1t comes to buying or raising game.

New York.--When milady walks down the street, bedecked in her new red fox leckpiece, or wearing the latest in red fox collared coats, would she be surprised to know that her fur came--not from Alaska, or Canada, or even from Michigan or Wisconsin--but possibly from no farther away than the Ramapo Mountains of northern Passaic county, New Jersey, thirty miles from Times Squarel
 Chances are she would indeed be surprised, what with most of Us, in these days of automobiles, air- planes, radios and such, firmly in the belief that fur-bearing animals and the great wild out.of- -doOrs are now to be found only in the snow and icy far north, thousands Of miles removed.
 Yet this particular "milady," did she happen to own one of the New Jersey furs, would be be even more surprised should she trace her red fox back through the tanning and finishing factory, back to the many and long smooth national and state highways Of Passaic county--back through the towns of Pompton Lakes and Wanaque-M Midvare to tho Erskine lakes, Awosting and the im- mense 10000 Erskine lakes pre- serve, surrounded by mountains, studded with crystal lakes and shot through with rushing brooks.
 And there, on the shores of one of the largest of the Erskine lakes, "milady" would come to the end of her trail; for the end of the trail Is Herman Christian, huge in statue, cheery of disposition, well past mid- dio-age, and 8 combination Of Dan. iel Boone, Davy Crockett and Kit Carson all rolled into one.
 70 YEARS OF IT :. Herman Christian has spent 40 of his 67 years in trapping fur-bearing animals, and 90 of those years in trapping foxes exclusively. And ho is one of the last of the truly great trappers left in America today.
 Born in the Catskill mountains and led into the woods as 6 mere lai of eight to catch his first skunk, the forests have given up all of theE secrets to Herman Christian. He knows all the animals, all the birds, and all the fish--where and how they li;,, and how to trail and catch them. Nothing on mountain. side or in swamp but his quick eye and vast experience immediately observes and analyses 1t. He is Q counterpart of Boone, Crockett and Carson In ell respects save one--he

 Except what he kills himself to eat, Q fox is always and immediate ly suspicious of anything he smells to eat in the woods. He SniHs tt, goes up to 1t, then walks round and round. But he never touches it. For days he does the same thing, and may continue to do 50 for c week. Finally, however, If the trap has been well placed, well set and well concealed, and If there is no human scent around 1t, Mir. Fox walks up to take the bait.
 "But I have known foxes that, you might say, would change their minds in the very last fraction of c second, suddenly turn and trot away, and never return to the trap. Something warned them even in the end. What it was l never knew. But the fox knew"
 BOOKS THE BUNK
 Books that tell how to trap foxes are pure "bunk," Herman Christian says. So are Bnares and all other trapping devices other than reguln. ton steel traps. So, too, are adver. tised lures and baits. You learn how to trap foxes only through trial and error.
 Herman Christian learned because he dissected the gtonachs of foxes to see what they ate; he examined haif.eaten carcasses in the forests; h dug below fox dens to discover how they hid their freshly killed game, how long they left it before eating it, and in what state of de- composition 1t had to be before foxes would cat 1t.
 As c result of oil these ceaseless Investigations, carried on over many long years, he learned to prepare his own bait, and now guards the secret of It's preparation with the greatest care. Someday, he says, he may pass along the secret to his young nephew, who is already quite . trapper."
 When not engaged in trapping foxes, Herman Christian hunts deer and grouse and pheasants during the fall and winter, and fishes for trout in the spring and early sum. iner. For years no has been ono of the most expert trout fishermen in the East, and only recently, in 1893, was awarded . special prize by on outdoor magazine for on 6 pound, c ounce brown trout caught in tho Delaware river. He is also said to Do one of the greatest ex- ports in tho world in tying" trout "nieS'--tho intricate business of twisting hair or feathers end string and hook Into an artificial trout lure resembling various kinds of natural winged insects that hover above and light upon trout brooks.
 All in oil, though, hls real prefer ence in the great out-of- -doors is trapping foxes, and ho estimates that he has caught more than 1900 of them. Yet, even with all this Do. hind him, he says that he still does not know everything there Is to know about fox.trapping. And who could expect him to2 He's only been nt it for 40 yenrAl
