Crocus Is From kashmir;
Traveller Purloined Bulb

The dainty little crocus has been
aptly called the first gem of the
earth in spring" observes writer
in the Montreal Star.
1t is said that the crocus was taxi
en- to England in the reign of Ed
ward III from Kashmir. In that
country it was the monopoly of the
'ajsh, but an English traveller, who
penetrated the country as pilgrim,
stole bulb at the risk of his life.
He concealed it in his hollow staff,
and managed to carry it all the way
back to his home at Walden, in Es-
sex.
Such harvest of saffron yellow
flowers came from that single bulb
that the place came to be known as
Saffron Walden, the name which it
pears today.
The plant was used as a dye In
India, and for the same purpose in
England and Ireland. Henry VIII
forbade the use of the crocus as a
dye for linen by the Irish. The linen
had been dyed because it was
thought that it would not be neces-
sary to wash 1t so often as white lin
en-, as the dirt would not show.
Accordirg to legend, the crocus

Of life that Medea was preparing for

Annie Laurie Home Held
by the Family Since 1911

The home of the famous Annie
Laurie, the heroine of the Scottish
ballad sung in every corner of the
world, is known as the estate OF
Maxwelton, Dumfrieshire, Scotland.
The ownership of this property goes
back more than 300 years, says a
writer il. the New York Herald
Tribune.
Maxwelton House, originally a
fortress of the Earls of Glencairn
and known as Glencairn castle, has
been In the hands of the Laurie
family since 1911.
Seventy-one years later, in 1852,
Anna was born, the daughter OF Sir
Robert Laurie. The first Baronet
Douglas of England, the author Of
the original words of the ballad, was
her first sweetheart, but the engage
ment was broken off, and in 1909
she married Alexander Ferguson,
OF Craigdarroch, neighboring es-
tate, Her picture and that of her
husband hang in the dining room
at Maxwelton.
There are 1000 acres in the prop
erty, which overlooks. the Cairn
river. In the house there are four
reception rooms, two boudoirs, fif-
teen bed or dressing rooms, two
bathrooms and servants accom-
mediation.

Starch Foods for Diabetes.

Before the discovery of insulin,
the lives of diabetes were prolonged
by feeding them just enough starch
foods-sugar, bread, potatoes-to
maintain life. They were thus very
weak.
When insulin was discovered by
DR.. Fred Banting it was found that
diabetes could eat more starch
foods as the insulin enabled the
blood to carry and use the starch
foods for the work of the body in
stead of having it thrown out of the
body in the urine.
Now insulin is expensive, and
must be administered by the hypo-
dermic needle which, of course, the
patient learns to do for himself.
Therefore research men have been
trying to increase the amount of
starch food the patients body can
use SO that less insulin will be nee
essary.
DR.. ]. M. Rabinowitch, Montreal,
in the Journal of the Canadian Med
ical Association records his expert
ences in lessening the total amount
of food eaten but giving large per.
centage Of starch foods so as TO
enable the blood to hold and use
more OF these starch foods.
There were SO cases and the pa
tients followed the treatment care
fully for five years. The records
show that this diet leads, in the
majority of cases, to marked i'm
provement in the amount OF starch
foods which the body is enabled to
use.
Further, the daily doses of in
sulln finally needed in these cases
were found to be less than with all
other diets that have been used
heretofore in the treatment of ad-
vanced cases Of diabetes. In IL
cases the patients we're able to do
without the insulin entirely.

llenl was gwen Tie new weight re-
ducing drug dinitrophenol and in
period OF ten weeks he lost 30
pounds. Naturally he was pleased
with this satisfactory loss of weight
but at this time proven cases of
cataract due to the use of dini-
trophenol were being reported in the
medical journals. 1t was estimated
that ! in 1000, perhaps even in 100
users of this drug to reduce weight
were being afflicted with cataract.
The physician promptly stopped
using the drug.
The physician then used thyroid
extract but it had little or no effect
upon the excess weight and caused
the heart, already a fast heart, to
beat much faster.
The physician then discussed the
case with an authority on weight re-
ducing, giving him full history OF
the case to date. This authority
made two suggestions. The first
suggestion was that the use of an
terror pituitary extract might be
helpful, which would depend of
course on whether the individual
was or was not the pituitary type of
overweight. When the pituitary
gland, lying ON the floor OF the skull.
is not sending enough juice into the
blood, not only are the starch foods
not used OF burned completely but
the fat that accumulates is not
spread equally over the whole body
as when the proper amount of thy
roid juice is lacking.
Put Him In Hospital.
The second suggestion was that
the physician should place this over
weight in hospital; that is, treat
him as patient. For. after all, he
really was a patient-fast heart,
high blood pressure and excessive
overweight, easily tired and got out
of breath on slight exertion.
AS treatment by dinitrophenol
might lead to serious results, even
death, and thyroid extract had no
effect except to increase the rate
of his heart beat and increase his
blood pressure, the only treatment
that remained was to cut down on
his food intake.
"A useful procedure in such
cases, when the patient is able to
afford il and can withdraw himself
from home, business and social life,
is to administer the prescribed diet
under supervision in hospital for
a week or two"
! believe the suggestions for treat
ment of the above case will appeal
to our common sense. Excess
weight can be due to only one cause
the eating of too much food for
the requirements of the body.

COURT CHANGE
DEFENDED BY
CUMMINGS

The Administrations campaign
to crystallize favorable public SEN
timent before submitting Presi-
dent Roosevelt'S judiciary reform
program to a vote in Congress
started last night with a radio
speech by Attorney General Cum
mingS. He said:
"If there is any increase in the
total number of judges under
the Presidents plan) it will be
due entirely to the fact that the
Judges now of retirement age
elect to remain on the bench.
"If those judges think it would
be harmful to the court to in
crease its membership, they can
avoid that result by retiring
upon full pay
"If the Constitution is to re.
main living document and the
law Is to serve the needs of a
vital and growing nation, it is
essential that new blood be in
fused into our judiciary"
He went before the microphoneS
shortly after letters of Amos 3.
E. Pinchot, a New York Progress
sive and brother of Pennsylvania S
former governor, reached mem.
bers Of Congress. Pinchot said
the Presidents plan would result
in dictatorship.
Cummings said nothing could
be farther from the truth than
the charges that the Presidents
proposal is a bold attempt to pack
the court. He said the major
purpose of the plan is to make
democracy work" He termed the
opposition to the court reorgani'
Zation as "hysteria. He added:
What then is the real Objec.
tiOn? 1t is simply this: Those
who wish to preserve the status
quo want to retain on the bench
judges who may be relied upon
to veto progressive measures"

Still they battled, sullenly re-

utterly exhausted, had to give up.
