We've cancelled our plans for q

George and I had intended to
take the children back to that nice
little camp on the lake we discov-
cred last summer. That vacation did
US all q world Of good.
Let Worry Overcome Them
"Rut George and I are so wor-
ried about everything that I know
we couldn't relax and enjoy the
lakes or the camp this year. We're
both so gloomy and depressed all
the time that don't think the chill
dren have much fun being around
us at home. ad ! don't think they
would up at the lake either. Oh
well, they'll Just have to get used
to the change. I don't see any hope
for them or anybody. Isn't 1t TOO
awful?"
The woman across the table sip
ped her iced tea thoughtfully.
"Yes, It's awful, Mary. Anyone
who thinks at all Is bound to be
worried, and, sometimes at least
pretty depressed.
"But Frank and I are going to
take O vacation. We're going to
pack the baby and ourselves off to
mothers cottage for o week and
then spend the other week with
Franks father on the farm. We
think It's O good idea to see both
families this year, get some sun
shine for ourselves and some typi-
cal spelling by grandmothers' for
the baby.

ARE YOU TRAINING FOR
DIABETES?

DAn0E \ G6S
Perhaps II was the humorous
poet, oliver Wendell Holmes, M.
D., who said the time to
cure arteriosclerosis Is o hundred
years before the patient Is born.
The opening statement In DR.. FL
lott P. Joslin's work on Diabetes
the author begs the question--hut
then, that Is the prerogative Of
medical authority:
Diabetes" asserts Prof. Joslin, els
an hereditary disease, characterized
by an increase Of sugar in the blood
and the excretion Of sugar In the
urine; II Is dependent uon disease
Of the pancreas, particular Of Its
island OF Langerhans :"
Elsewhere In the book the author
presents reasons for regarding ola.
betes as hereditary. The Inherit
ance Is not direct, but rather the
potentially or tendency TO develop
diabetes may be inherited. The child
more often inherits the tendency
from q grandparent, that Is, the
parents, one or both, carry the ten.
dency In recessive form and do not
themselves develop diabetes. The
child cannot inherit diabetic poten-
tiality from one diabetic parent
alone II the other parent Is not q
carrier Of the tendency-that Is to
say, II the other parent did not
inherit the tendency. Prof. Joslin
estimates that % per cent Of our
entire population are now carriers
Of the potentially or tendency and
may pass II on to their children.
! say Dr.. Joslin begs the ques.
ton. After all, what good or bad
feature Of human life Is not SINH
larry hereditary?
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-06-27

OF the actual causes Of diabetes,
obesity Is foremost.
People who are training for dia-
betes generally take on superfiuous
flesh and carry this excess weight
for ten years or more before they
finally achieve diabetes. Mind, 7
do not say that everybody who &C.
cumulates Stacker flesh will newt
ably develop diabetes. But Il Is the
direct route II you have inherited

signs or symptoms often 60 unrec-
ognised, that is, their significance Is
missed:
"vague pains, usually elected only
by pressure over the nerve roots.
General rnalaise, anorexia (lack OF
appetite) and constipation. Small
amounts Of sugar may be present In
the urine, without hyperglycemia
(excess sugar In blood). There Is
usually o large carbohydrate intake,
often associated with O tendency to
obesity. These cases are frequently
classified as potential diabetes"
Bear in mind that diabetes Is still
q functional deficiency, although In
some cases organic change or defect
may be found In the islands Of
Langerhans, ana as in other flinc-
tional ailments which may eventual
ly become or produce degenerative
disease, there Is no sharp dividing

it's worth It. Food Is q form of
insurance. It pays the highest divi-
dends In health and well being.
A very limited list Of foods could
supply you with minimum daily

One quart Of whole milk, or
