much about it or how to treat it.
Can you give me any informa'

mond, Indiana.
Hyperinsulinism is not difficult
20 understand once you start from
fundamentals. 1t is a disturbance
of the utilization of sugars in the
body. We depend on the burning
of sugars for most Of our energy
and muscular movements. Sugars
are absorbed from the digestive
tract and enter the blood, which
has a quite constant percentage Of
sugar. When a muscle contracts
the sugar in the blood in the mus
Gle unites with oxygen, just as
gasoline in your motor car unites
with oxygen TO give energy. What
sparks the sugar and oxygen in
the muscle is insulin. Just as the
spark in the cylinder head ex-
plodes the gasoline vapor and oxy-
gen in your automobile.

Symptoms Come In Spells

This. Of course, would be very
serious if the symptoms continued,
but in nearly all cases of hyperin-
sulinism, the symptoms come on in
spells. The patient may have an
attack every day for a week and
be free of attacks for q month or
more.
The cause is not known in all
cases. In some of the cases there
is tumour or overgrowth of the
islet cells in the pancreas and sur
gical removal gives relief. In 1910
the literature reported 10 cases
treated in this way surgically with
partial removal of the pancreas
with results of five cures, and two
cases improved.
For mild cases during attacks
frequent small meals, as often as
every two hours keep the symp-
toms under control. The high sug-
ar diet seems to stimulate the islet
cells and leads to more severe
symptoms and it has been found
that high fat, low carbohydrate
diet works better.

Secretion of lnsulin

Insulin is secreted by certain
cells in the pancreas. These cells
are distributed through the pam
creas in little nests or islands,
called the islets of Langerhans.
They do not pour their secretion
into the intestine as do the rest of
the cells of the pancreas, but are
part of the endocrine system of
glands, which pour their secretions
directly into the blood stream.
In diabetes many of these !slets
are atrophied and disappear so the
amount of insuiin in the blood
stream is lowered and sugar accu-
mulates in the blood and is ex-
creted in the urine.
Hyperinsulinism is just the OPP
posite of diabetes in that the isEet
cells secrete too much insulin and
the sugar in the blood is reduced.
symptoms of Hyperinsulinism
The symptoms are the same as
an overdose of insulin, an expert
ence which diabetes frequently
have. There is extreme hunger,
weakness, trembling of the mus
cles and sweating.
These symptoms can be con.
trolled in the same way a diabetic
controls an overdose Of insulin by
eating sugar or candy for emer-
gency or a full meal, all of which
bring the blood sugar up, and
when the blood sugar is normal
the muscles stop trembling and the
sense of hunger and other symp.
toms cease.
Different cases Of hyperinsulin-
ism vary in severity. Most of them
are mild, but they may be so Sc

Dream of Conquest

tary of the Navy James V. Forrestal
today reported the sinking of II
more Jap vessels, including a light
cruiser and destroyer The enemy
ships were sent to the bottom by

the lions share of the credit for
knocking the props out from under
Japan's dreams of naval conquest"

the Jap merchant fleet is going
to be accelerated and driven home
until the Japs retreat.
Japan is losing merchant ships
faster than she can afford" he stat
ed, adding that the continuation of
current trends will leave her by
the end of 1914 with a sizeahle and
growing deficit"
The Navy chief predicted that
the main battles are still to come
in the Pacific with the chief ones
on land and infantry organizations
beating the Jap army in a knock
down fight.
The newest announced sinkings
raised to 791 the number of Jap
craft of all types sunk, probably
sunk or damaged by American
undersea raiders. with $40 OF these
enemy boats definitely sunk.
In the latest bag, in addition to
the two combatant vessels sent
down, two mediums sized tankers
were blasted out of the water along
whit five medium cargo transports,
three small cargo vessels, large
cargo transport, three medium car
go vessels, one small cargo trans

WASHINGTON-I hasn't leaked
out yet, but working Chester
Bowles, the man who made OPA
as popular as it could be, has writ
ten a letter to the White House
asking the President to relieve him
of his job.
He has told FDR that Connecti-
cut political leaders have offered
him the Democratic nomination for
Governor and that he has to give
them a decision within the next
80 days.
Bowles, in his usual tactful man
ner, also laid down some tough
conditions for the President to take
if he remains on at the head OF
OPA. He specified that he would
continue on the job only If he Was
put in charge of all rehabilitation
after the war, including the thorny
post of disposing of surplus ma
terials.
The President, who likes the job
Bowles has done, probably would
be delighted TO pass demobiliza-
ton on to him However, Justice
Jimmy Byrnes has put his close
friend Will Clayton in this key post
and wants to keep him.
Not long ago when Clayton ten
dered his resignation over the
Texas political rebellion and the
part his Texas business associates
played in it, Justice Byrnes fatty
refused to accept it.
With more tact that Leon Hen
derson and almost as much cour-
age, Bowles has held the price line
