of 1000 cases revealed diabetes
in only 10 per cent of the under
weight subjects; IS per cent Of
the cases studied we're above nor
NAL weight. He found that in
more than 81 per cent Of the over
weight diabetes the disease de-
veloped 79 times as frequently as
in underweight.
Diabetes cannot always be
diverted, but the chances of its
appearance in the hereditarily pre-
disposed individual may be de-
ferred. Maybe you won't get it
until you are past 10!
Unless the diabetes is very
severe exercise will lower the blood
sugar. DR.. Joslin advised that,
aside from weight control, an
effort must be made to utilize the
muscles, since there a large part
of the carbohydrate is burned. He
said, "A mild diabetic is helped by
exercise, a moderate diabetic may
be helped by exercise but severe
diabetic is harmed by exercise"
A diabetic should, Of course, be
under the supervision Of a phySi-
clan and should follow his advice
as to exercise.
The diet should be built around
the protective foods-milk, eggs,
fruit, vegetables, lean meats and
cereals.
It is particularly important that
the individual diabetic get suffi-
cient amount Of calcium, and all
diabetes should learn from their
physician, or through a clinic, the
simple diabetic diet. The carbo-
hydrate tolerance varies and the
diet must be adjusted to individual
needs. Please do not write for a
diabetic diet. Get it from your
doctor.
The diabetic must be constantly
On guard against over-eating, for,
as DR.. Joslin warns, "Overnutri-
ton is as harmful to the treat
ment of diabetes as it is encourag-
ing to the development"
The life expectancy of the dia-
bette, which was formerly 4.8
years, has now been heightened
to 20 and Is years. In fact, DR..
JoSlin declared that while there
are approximately 100000 dia-
betics in the United States, most
of them can live to die of some
thing elSe-even old age.
If there is any diabetic heredity
The Washington times., 1936-11-09

When excess fat overburdens
the metabolic processes of the
body, the pancreas is unable to
furnish sufficient inSulin, and
diabetes results.
Men do not worry much about
embonpoint, but the vital Stats
tics on diabetes are enough to
make anyone sit up and count
calories. There were $4,000 deaths
from diabetes in 1884, and of this
number approximately rs per cent
were overweight.
1t is very rarely that diabetes
is found in the thin person over
the age of 80, and almost never
in the individual past middle life
who has always been thin.
DR.. Elliott P. Joslln, of the Har-
ward Medical School, an eminent
authority on diabetes, stated in a
recent address before the Amer
ican Dietetic Association that the
prevention of diabetes is in the
control of weight, and that with
any diabetic heredity in ones
family, excessive weight must be
avoided.
DR.. Joslin is confident that over
weight due to an excess of food
is one of the predisposing causes
Of the disease. His Investigation

The Metropolitan Quartet was
received with prolonged applause
and persistent demands for en-
cores yesterday afternoon at Con-
stitution Hall. On account Of the
illness Of julius Huehn, baritone,
Conrad Mayo, of the Chicago Civic
Opera Company, was presented as
a substitute.
Joseph Bentonelli and Conrad
Mayo opened the concert with
the duet, La Fora del Destino"
(VerdD. With each successive ap-
pearance, Bentonelli was greeted
with storms of applause by an audi
ence that was happy in having
discovered a truly great American
tenor.
Because of the pernicious Sys-
tenn that has held sway in this
country until recently, American
born singers have seldom had the
chance in grand opera that foreign
singers have been given. This
state of affairs was doubtless re-
sponsible for the fact that such
a fine American tenor has been
forced to sing in opera in Europe
for the past IL years before re-
ceiving proper recognition here.
Needless to say, this extended
experience in Europe has brought
to us a more finished singer than
if he had been heard here earlier
in his career. While the other
members Of the Quartet Joined the
Metropolitan at about the same
time as Bentonelli, his was ma
ture performance with all due re-
spect for the work of the others.

solo, an aria from La Boheme," "

voices that has a warm rich tonal

RELIEF ROLLS

Although no definite policy has
been established, in cases where
men on the District relief rolls
have collected a substantial World
War veterans bonus they will be
dropped from the list.
Director of Public Welfare El-
wood Street said today that since
the District had failed to obtain
from Congress deficiency appro.
priations sufficient to carry all per-
sons on relief, the list already
had been cut by approximately
$4,000 persons who were in the
employable class.
The welfare boards relief di-
vision is now carrying on its rolls
approximately 5000 persons, who
are in the unemployable class.
Funds for carrying these persons
are fast diminishing, Mr.. Street
declared.
He said that in cases where
persons on relief collected a bonus,
individual cases rather than a
general policy would govern. He
pointed out that while the average
bonus was approximately $3.50,
the average relief granted to a
client was $50 a month,

Senator Duncan U. Fletcher,
n, Democratic dean of the Sen
ate and a Senator from Florida
for the last quarter century,
dropped dead in his home here
2101 Connecticut Ave. N. W., to
day following a heart attack.
The Senator died in harness,
as he wished.
He was preparing to attend a
session Of the Senate when he
suffered a fatal stroke about
1890 a. m. News of his death
was received with deep regret on
Capitol Hill, where his friends
were legion.
The Senate when it met at
noon promptly adjourned out
Of respect to Fletcher'S memory.
His passing was announced and
tribute paid to his long public
service by Senator Joe T. Robin
son, Democratic leader, and Sena-
tor Loftin {D0 of Florida,
Fletcher's junior colleague who
Just succeeded the late Senator
Park Trammell. 1T was Loftin's
maiden speech.
Administration leaders proposed
to adjourn both House and Sen
ate out of respect to his memory.
A physician ascribed his death
to coronary thrombosis.
Had Premonition
The Senator had premonition
of death in the last few weeks.
Just few days ago, a friend
urged him to take it easy" He
replied:
'sNo, I'll not stop. I'm going
to die in harness"
Fletcher devoted most of his
life to the public service. He
served almost continuously in pub
lie offices since 1893 when he was
elected mayor of Jacksonville.
The death of Senator Fletcher
marked the passing of two Florida
