Your Health
Lack of Sugar in
Diet Revealed by
Numerous symptoms

Numerous Symptoms
BY HERMAN BUSD.SEN. N.
WHEN there is less sugar in the
blood stream than there should be,
the patient will have such sym
toms as restlessness, weakness,
hunger, trembling. sweating, chill
illness, rapid heart beat and drowsi-
ness in the milder cases.
A lessening in the amount Of
sugar in the blood is not q disease
in itself, just as fever is not . dis
ease. 1t is merely q symptom that
something is wrong which de-
msnds attention. II the condition
becomes more severe there are
headache, sickness TO the stomach
and vomiting, twitching Of the
muscles, double vision, temporary
paralysis, commissions and uncon-
sciousness.
Once it is decided that hypo-
glycemia or low blood sugar is
present and that the symptoms
which it produces are relieved by
the giving Of sugar either by
mouth or by injection, q careful
study must be carried out 10 de-
termine, if possible. just what is
producing it.
A low blood sugar may be pro-
duced by an excessive secretion Of
insulin by the pancreas. The pan
creas forms insulin needed for the
use Of sugar by the body. This, in
turn, may be the result Of some
tumor growth Of the pancreas.
Liver disease, such as liver in
fiammation, may also be response
bic. Trouble with the pituitary
gland at the base of the brain may
produce hypoglycemis, as may also
a lack Of secretion from one part
Of the sdrenal glands, which are
located just above the kidneys.
Kidney Trouble
In many instances, none Of these
glandular disturbances is respon-
sible for the hypoglycemia. In such
cases it may be due to the fact that
sugar is being excreted by the kid
neys or the person is engaged in
very severe continuous muscular
work.
OF course, the treatment for low
blood sugar will depend on the
cause. If there is a tumor Of the
pancreas, it may be removed. Ger
tain pituitary gland extracts have
been found helpful in some in
stances as have also extracts from
the adrenal glands. In certain in
stances, the giving Of q diet high
in sugars and starches has been
tried. Some investigators believe
that a diet low in sugar and rich
in fat may give better results.
However, Doctor Jerome W.
Conn Of the University Of Michi-
gan School of Medicine has found
that q diet rich in proteins and
low in starches and sugars, is
beneficial in some cases Of low
blood sugar.

Views of the Press

a progressive economic development from the time when men were con- ! sidered naturally entitled to monopoly of such opportunity and women in business were limited to special ard lesser status. Prejudices and handicaps restricting women in economic enterprise gradually have been removed by women themselves, though their resulrcefulness, adapt ability and initiative.
 The career of Miss Shaver, be- sides exemplifying these qualities has certain picturesque aspects. Here is a sizable ard important job in a metropolitan setting. The record shows, moreover, that, in addition to being a university graduate will ing to learn to make herself useful at the start, she brought great deal of imagination to her work, making her own new jobs as she went along. She became an expert at merchandising, advertising and the development of markets here and abroad.
 Her interest in fashion and deco rative art, stimulated and developed by travel and by observation, en- abled her to introduce new ideas in this country which brought radical changes in established methods of department store promotion.
 Miss Shaver seems to have achieved significant success even in these times, when it has become a byword never to underestimate the powers of a woman.

 But the Presidents drectives for all the generosity that inspired them will have to be carried out with nte gent For thing the adult newcomer must be ln pressed with the almost unbelievable fact that life in un scared we-fed America is not idyc must appear from the vantage point of Europe that cod hungry warwrecked and dispirited.

 Many Americans unfortunately prejudiced against foreigners generally and newarrved foreign refugees in particular And again unfortunately many refugees feel bitterness toward the Americans who have suffered little while they themselves have suffered much Both these feelings could be exaggerated by hastily planned or -consdered reopenng of immigration, with serious con- sequences The whole program calls for intelligence tact and mutual respect, understanding and good will.

PETRILLo's LATEST
fNew Bedford Times-standardl

(NeW bedtorQ T1meSsSGanQaruD
 James Caesar Petrillo once again has set himself up as cultural dic- tator by imposing a ban on radio musical programs originating in all foreign countries except Canada. Ground for this arbitrary action is that the musicians heard on such foreign broadcasts are not members ol the American Federation of Mu- SicianS.
 There seems to be no limit to Pet- rillo's presumpuousnesS in assuming authority to decree what music the American people are to be permitted to hear over the radio. Some time ago he drove of the air the pro- grams coming from the National Music Camp at Interlochen, Mich, thus depriving the public of the op- portunity to listen to concerts by high school bands and orchestras in 40 different states. Now comes the prohibition of foreign programs. True, Petrillo has granted certain exemptions from his decree-as, for example, the programs broadcast annually from the Vatican at Christmas and Easter-but the con- descension shown in this action, far from allaying the radio listeners indignation, tends to increase it be- cause it emphasizes Petrillo's as- sumption of dictatorial power over radio music.
 Music is an art which is universal. It transcends national boundaries. It plays a big part in satisfying the cultural needs of the people. Music lovers are interested not only in music that is created abroad, but in the interpretation of ii by musi- clans of the country in which it was composed, and whose culture it typi- fies. As in the case of the Inter- lochen programs. so in this latest example, of Petrillo's arrogance. the American people are resentful at being placed in sort of multural straitjacket by man whose power has gone to his head, and who as- serts an authority that even the government does not possess. No wonder the public is moved to ex- claim: Upon what meat doth this our Caesar feed, that he is grown so great!"

Cultural Isolationisrn

Speaking of immigration, James c. Petrillo said the other day. Were trying to that foreign musicians in person the air. don't get our jobs" This was just after the busy president of the American Federation of Musicians had banned American broadcass of music org mating in any foreign country except Canada.
 This in itself won't make much difference to most Americans Few of listen to foreign broadcasts And audiences could probably subsst the music care provided by musicians holding American union cards
 However it seems to be recognized that world CO., operation depends to quite extent the understanding and tolerance which when various peoples ac- quainted with the cultures and accomplishments of other countries The United Nations Organization has thought such acquaintance important enough to set cultural and educational division to foster and increase it.
 But to Mr. Petrio the art of music potent promoter of international understanding is simply unionized indus try Music is good bad only insofar it's performer is member in good standing of the A. F. M All ddlers are alike to him, be they Heifetz hby long as they pay their dues
 Since foreign musicians don't belong to Mr. Petrillc's unon they be kept off American concert stages when Mr. Petro the word The foreseeabe result of this is international hurt feelings Foreign doors will be closed American musicians Cultural and educational so ationism bad enough at present will increase In spirit this would be unlike Hers book burnings and ban of Jewish music And it could happen because James Caesar Petro according to the law of the and do precisely he peases.

ton and intelligence divisions will be fitted into the purely political divisions which have in the past done most of the U. s. governments business with foreign countries.
 Because lot of new jobs have been dumped in its lap, the Department of State. which in l9S had less than 4,70O employees and in l945 had l06O; employees will for the fiscal year l94 require at leas l5OO0 employees, maybe more.
 Its budget, which in 1889 IS million dollar and in l946 was 76 million dollars, will, for fisca l947 be in the neghborhood of l5O million dollars
 To lot of State Department critics, complete reorganization of the old dump is necessary before this country can have effective foreign policy. MT Assistant Secretary Russell doesn't feel that way about it at all. He is bright and smiling and even after four months the job that ruined two prede ceSsors in the past year, is filled with hope. He be- eves there is plenty of talent in the State Depart ment. All it needs is some coordination.
 Some of the things that have been found unco- ordnated about the State Department are almost un- believabe. For instance, it was found that cables coming into the department from all over the world might be referred to l27 different offices Messages

 slgnlRicant Off.the-reCOrd meeting took place in the State Department shortly after President Truman announced his plan to bring European refugees into the united States by filling up immigration quotas during the remainder of the fiscal year.
 The meeting consisted of members of the state Departments visa office and, although 1t wasn't said so in these exact words net result of the ses- sion was to sabotage the Presidents plan for admit ting refugees.
 The State Department officials decided: CD That they did not have enough staff to handle more im- migration visas; (2) that they would have to con- centrate first on bringing home the foreign-born wives of American soldiers.
 While the White House is equally anxious to expedite the return of soldiers wyes the significant thing about the State Department meeting was tnat officials did not consider asking for larger staft to handle refugee viSas. Obviously they would have received Truman's 100 per cent backing Their chief conclusion was that the wives of American soldiers were all they would have time to handle with their present staff before the fiscal year runs out on June 30 and they didn't want to enlarge their staff.
 NOTE-American immigration quotas have new CT been filled during the war; nor for some time De. fore the war Thus large number of refugees could be admitted as proposed by President Truman with out new legislation and simply by using present quotas.

AMAZING DECISION
(Boston Postl

NoOOLOlA OSb(
 A most amazing decision was that of the United States War Crimes Commission in Yokahama which found a Japanese guard guilty Of torturing and killing at least one Tank prisoner, but did not regard the offense as worth the death pen- alty. American boys and parents both, particularly buddies or rela- tives of boys who were the victims of the most barbarous Jap cruelties, are certain to be indignant at this ill-timed display of softneSs. Admit tedly this man "unmercifully beat and killed PFC Robert Teas, a survivor of the Bataan death march; brutally beat and tortured Sgt. c. J. Lundquist, and on numer- ous occasions abused and mistreat- ed other American and British pris- oners." What more must he do be- fore he falls sufficiently into the i'll graces of our judges to be sen- tenced to die?
