PHILADELPHIA, January 20-Dr.
Harry B. Wilmer, medical director Of
Abingdon Memorial Hospital, an
nounced that q group Of stan physi-
clans there discovered = treatment for
allergic patients commensurate In i'm
portance with the discovery of insulin
for diabetics.
Allergic complaints-asthma, hay
fever, hives and eczema-were traced
to a condition directly opposite to that
existing in diabetes, DR. Wilmer said.
He explained that diabetic sufferers
have q low sugar tolerance and are
easily overloaded with sugar unless
given insulin to burn 1t away.
The hospital physicians have found.
he said, that allergic patients have a
high sugar tolerance. but an inordinate
amount of sugar Is burned away be-
cause Of metabolic inefficiency result
ing from an insufficient secretion from
the cortex Of the suprarenal gland.
This, he added, produces sugar
starvation in the blood, causing such
ailments as asthmatic seizures, hives,
eczema and hay fever.
The treatment announced by DR..
Wilmer consists merely Of the injection
of the cortical hormone of the
suprarenal gland.

MACHINE VICTORY SEEN.
Few louisa mans Believe Long Faction
Can Be Driven Out.

RED u.
NEW ORLEANS. January 20.-It is

Long political machine can be driven
from control of Louisiana at the pri-
mary election tomorrow, when a Gov
ernor. a United States Senator. men,
bers of the Legislature and other State
offices are to be voted on.
Meanwhile. the State is witnessing
a weird campaign. A few nights ago
an electrically recorded phonograph
transcription Of one of Huey's share
the-wealth talks was put on the radio.
The announcer explained that it was
just a phonograph disc and this prob
ably satisfied those who heard him.
but the next day rumors were afioat
that it wasn't a phonograph record at
all, but Huey himself talking back
from Heaven. have not met any one
who admits actually believing that
Huey has started sending spirit mes
sages, but keep hearing stories that
here and there over the State are peo-
pie who do believe 1t. Well, this much
is probably true: Huey would not over
loUk such bet If the thing were pos
sibie, but would come back and ''ha mt"
Louisiana If he could. 1t is also true
that many children in Louisiana, espe-
cialiy in the less populous sections,
now say their prayers to "St. Huey."
The anti-Long candidate for Cover
nor, Representative Dear, has made
the statement that he doesn't believe
Huey was assassinated. He says Long
was shot by one OF his own body
guards aiming at the assailant, who
had hit Long only with his fist. Local
papers carry full-page advertisements
signed by all six of the Long body
guards declaring that Dear's state
ments are lies.
