LACK OF ACTION
 AT MAJORS MEET SETS NEW MARK
Anticipated MungO D e al May Have Been Reason;
 Niemec to San Diego
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Stan Correspondent

Chicago, Dec. 0.-(UP).-A check up today of the turnover of play. CTS among major league clubs since the minor league meeting opened at Milwaukee Dec. reveals perhaps the dullest trading mart in the his- tory of the annual winter conclaves.
 Only 12 major league players changed hands in their own cir- cult during the two meetings. Nine were in the American League and three in the National League.
 Searching for a reason for the lack of activity, some of the old timers thought the reaction to the Tiger-White Sox deal in Detroit might have scared of other clubs from risking displeasure of the fans by trading @ popular player like Gerald Walker.
 Others believe that the National Leagues lack of trades may be traced to the fact that the Van Mungo situation blocked many pos- sible deals. Several clubs bid for Mungo and didn't want to open ne- gotiations with other teams until they had an answer on the big Brooklyn flrebrand.
 A resume of the activities of the major league clubs follow:
 American League
 White Sox-Obtained Gerald Walker, Marvin Owen and Mike Fresh, rookie catcher with Portland last year, from Detroit in 6-player deal.
 Tigers--obtained Vernon Ken nedy, Dixie Walker and Tony Piet from White Sox In above mentioned 6.player swap.
 Browns-Traded Harry Davis and cash to Newark for Pitcher Vito Tamulis. Sent Joe Vosmik to the Red Sox for Buck NewsoIn, Ralph Kress and Buster Mills.
 Red Sox-Landed Outfelder Joe Vosmik from Browns in swap for 3 players. Gave up Outfielder Dom-- inic Dallesandro, 1nfielder Al Niernic and cash for Ted Williams, San Diego's sensational 10"year-old outfielder sought by four other clubs.
 NatlOnHl AeABue
 C;iants--Sold Catcher Ed Mad iewski to Louisville. Traded Pitch- CT Al Smith to the Cardinals for Catcher Tom Padden and then sent him to Jersey City. |,
 Obtained Catcher Willard Hershberger from Newark in ex- change for Infielder Eddie Miller, First Baseman Le Scarsella ana cash. Sold Catcher Gilly Campbell to Montreal.
 Morehouse from Rochester ana Third Baseman Emmett Mueller from Houston. Traded Catcher Earl Grace to Cardinals for Catcher Cap Clark. who played last year With Houston and Columbus. Sold out fielder Johnny Moore to Los

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.. J. 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
sulin 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.

Neglected Ideas

taken notice of.-Locke.
The Coolidge examiner., 1937-06-03


tient was given the 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 l 900, perhaps even l 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 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 not the pituarity type of over
weight. 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 or 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 a 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 it and can withdraw himself
from home, business and social life,
is to administer the prescribed diet
under supervision in a 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.
