Surplus Property Board
NeqIects Duty, WW Says

The Veterans of Foreign Wars
has charged that the Surplus Prop
erty Board was "derelict In its
duty" for delaying issuance of regu-
lations giving veterans preference
in purchasing surplus war mate
rials.
The VFW quoted Col. E. c. Kava-
nagh, Veterans Division, Surplus
Property Administration, as saying
that owing to the quality and
quantity OF surplus property availa-
Bile that veteran preference regula-
tions should not be issued"
Robert K. Christenberry, chair
man Of the VFW National Legisla-
tive Committee, said he had writ
ten to Col. Kavanagh that I'VE are
not so much interested in the state
ment of the Surplus Property Board
that existing surplus property may
be small in quantity and useless In
character, as We are in having these
regulations issued so the veterans
may exercise their own right OF
choice in determining whether or
not they wish to purchase such
property"

years, daughter Of Henry VIII

with the baby Dauphin Of
France, son of Francis I.

1t seems, however, that the Porto

United States is after all, a great
big Sugar Daddy, who taxes his

Porto Ricans?
The Porto Ricans want independ-

independence, but our money, too.
A bill has been introduced in the
Senate, number 1902, which the
Porto Ricans support, giving that
country independence plus econ
omic considerations. The tricky
sections OF this bill are 20S.a, b,
and C and Sections 212 and 213.
Section 20S-a provides that products

come in on a basis no more re.

Your Health
Sugar in Blood
Influences Way
You Feel Today

By HERMAN M. pUNDEsEN. NJ. D
THE amount Of sugar in the
blood has a great deal to do with
how a person feels. When the sug-
ar content Of the blood is too low,
the disorder Is known as hypo-
glycemiA. The condition may &C.
cur not only in grownups, but also
in infants and children.
The diagnosis of hypoglycemia
Is not difficult, although the symp-
toms vary to a great extent. There
may be actual commissions, with
loss Of consciousness and spasms
of the muscles. In milder cases,
there may be just q feeling of
weakness and faintness. When
such an attack occurs, a chemical
examination Of the blood will re-
veal the deficiency Of blood sugar.
Before the attack develops, there
may be n feeling Of confusion.
Early Morning Attacks
Attacks of hypoglycemia come
on, as \ rule, in the early morning
hours, especially If little or no food
was eaten the evening before. 1t
was found that relief is promptly
obtained when the patient takes
food, noticeably sugar. II the pa
tient is not seen during an attack,
and the doctor suspects the trouble
to be due to hypoglycemia, he may
attempt to bring on an attack by
having the patient fast. Then, by
making an examination Of the
blood sugar when symptoms occur,
the diagnosis is arrived at. Once q
diagnosis Of hypoglycemia Is
made, steps are taken to determine
the cause.
In most cases Of hypoglycemia,
the longer the fasting period. the
lower the blood sugar is likely to
be. While most attacks may occur
before breakfast, in some patients,
the attacks develop about three or
four hours after meals.
Two Causes
The hypoglycemia may be due
TO either or both Of two causes,
namely, ~ too much insulin be-
ing formed by the pancreas, or (2)
a lack Of certain glandular secre-
tions such as those from the pitui-
tary gland or the adrenals, which
act against insulin. However, up
to the present, no treatment has
been found which will get rid Of
the disturbances producing the
condition. Hence, such treatment
as is used can be relied upon to
check the symptoms only.
This can be done in two ways.
First, by giving sugar and, sec
ond, in some instances by inject
ing a glandular extract known as
epinephrine. However, it has been
found that these injections do not
have a lasting effect and the physi-
clan may want to repeat them
every day or two.
It is important for patients with
hypoglycemia to avoid fasting.
When infections occur, it is doub-
" important that plenty of
starches and sugars be included in
the diet A high protein diet, that
is, a diet containing plenty Of
meat, milk and eggs, is also bens-
fcial.
