1T is an encouraging fact that
diabetes today can look forward to
long life and good health. This is
not to say that they can safely neg
lect their disease. Far from it, for
the management of diabetes is a
complicated problem but it is one
which can be successfully solved
by care on the part of the physician
and cooperation on the part of the
patient.
Diabetes results when the pam
creas fails to secrete enough insu-
lin to enable the body to use sugars
properly. The reasons behind this
failure are not known, though both
overweight and heredity seem to
play part in bringing it on.
Main Treatment
The main treatment of this dis

ease is by means of diet, together
with injections of insulin when re-
quired. The object is to keep the
amount of sugar in the blood at a
normal level and to avoid the reac-
tions which ultimately result in the
dread complications of diabetes,
such as high blood pressure, hard
ening of the arteries, and bleeding
into the eye.
Naturally. diet planning for the
diabetic is an individual problem
and must be worked out carefully
for each patient. However, there
are certain general considerations
which can be used as a guide. The
number of calories or heat units in
cluded in the diet will be determined
by the patients weight, and in this
regard the doctor will always keep
in mind that it is better for the
diabetic to be somewhat under
weight than overweight.
Sugar or sugar-containing foods
should be avoided, since, when they
are used, there is a rise in the
amount of sugar in the blood. In
children, desserts or soft drinks
may, on occasion, be substituted for
some starchy foods in the diet. This
is done for psychological reasons.
Starchy Foods
In the average adult, the daily
intake of starchy foods should be
about $50 grams, or about 5 ounces.
This amount of starchy foods per-
mits one slice of bread for each of
four meals; one helping of starchy
vegetables, such as potatoes. rice,
or macaroni; one glassful of milk;
a helping of less starchy vegetables,
such as onions, carrots, or beets,
and two helpings of fruits, such as
oranges and grapefruit.
Protein foods, such as meat, milk
and eggs are of great Importance
for the diabetic patient to supply
the materials for building tissues
and repairing worn-out ones. 1t is
suggested that meat, fish, or eggs
be given at each meal.
Amount of Fat
A certain small amount OF fat is
also necessary in the diet, and the
fats are best furnished by eggs and
milk. Fats are not only necessary
in themselves. but also to provide
fat-soluble vitamins, such as Vita
minis A and D.
1t is not difficult to make a dag
nosis of diabetes. 1t causes such
symptoms as loss of weight and
strength, severe inching of the body,
increased appetite and thirst, and
the presence of sugar in the urine.
Chemical examination to determine
the amount of sugar in the blood is
important.
Diabetes is not static disease.
The state of the patient may change
from month to month and from year
to year. Thus. he requires constant
checking and supervising il the dan
gers of the disease are to be avoid
ed and normal health maintained.
The great thing is that with COM
petent medical guidance both these
things can be accomplished so that
diabetes today can not only live to
a ripe old age, but can have a life
free of invalidism.

Words Of the Wise

No man is really happy or safe
without a hobby, and it makes
precious little difference what
the outside interest may be-
botany. beetles or butterflies.
roses. tulips or irises; fishing.
mountaineering or antiquities
anything will do so long as he
straddles hobby and rides it
hard. -(Sir William Osler)
Think of this doctrine-that
reasoning beings were created
for one another's sake; that to
be patient is a branch of justice,
and that men sin without intend

1t is a great pity that men and
women forget that they have
been children. Parents are apt to
be foreigners to their sons and
daughters.

Where's Richard?
Fairbanks News Miner

Mrs Richard Morrow-Tait of Cambridge, England,
is flying around the world in little arpane
size should arrive in Anchorage any day now
maybe today, if the weather is right.
Mrs Morrow-Tait, in all the news reports OF her
exploit is identified red-haired, "a years old, a
former artists model, housewife and mother
of baby girl 10 months old.
She is accompanied this journey by man
named Michael Townsend, referred to in the press
dispatches as her navigator
Mrs Morrow-Tait, so the story goes, learned TO
fly on weekends Neither she nor the reporters who
have followed her progress since she and her navigator
left England last August have been able to make IL
clear exactly what she is trying to prove in flying
around the world in the British Proctor equivalent OF
Piper Cub
1t can't be to demonstrate that aviation has made
the world SO small that even woman can fly around
it in little arpane.
The fact that she has navigator" most
certainly is also licensed pot-with her obvates that
distinction.
That little airplane can fly around the world in
eisurey fashion has already been proved by couple
of Americans George Truman and Clifford Evans
Mrs Morrow-Tait stated in Japan that she wanted
to prove that she could fly from Hokkaido to Shemya
distance of 1778 miles unescorted by planes OF the
u s. Air Force the way Truman and Evans were
The Air Force, of course, would not permit this,
knowing that the cost of rescue search would be
several times the expense involved in sending plane
or two alot TO keep constant check on the position
and safety of the little British Proctor
AS it happened, Mrs Morrow-Ialt arrived at
Shemva with dead radio and five gallons of gasoline
thereby disprovng her own contention that 1t was
perfectlv safe to try the North Pacific hop all alone
The objective of showing that anyone with little
airplane of his own take off and spend his sum-
mer vacation flying the world-if that was IN the
mind of the young woman-had already been NULL
fled In Calcutta India Mrs Morrow-Tait ana her
navigator sat around for weeks waiting Tor re-
pair parts.
IJp to this moment. Mrs Morrow-Tait while WIN
ming worldwide notoriety, has added little 10 the
nublic appraisa of aviation and to the stature OF
women fers many of whom in war and peace nave
brought important contributions to the air age
She has, on the other hand, caused furroWeo
hrows among authorities of air forces throughout the
world who feared the possibility OF loss OF military
planes and pilots in search and rescue operations
Mrs Morrow-Tait has been beseged by questions
wherever she and her navigator have stopped to reue
But there is one question which nobody seems to have
asked
Where's Richard-Mr Morrow-Tait
Presumably he is home in Cambridge, mlndlng

PEOPLE" PAY TAXES

The Wall Street Journal says that lot Of people
are kidding themselves about taxes-incuding some
reputedly intelligent and observant economists No
matter which way you slice it taxes paid by people
and nobody else. This financial paper notes that
President Truman recently suggested that the tax
load to be taken off people" and put corporations
and that a labor economist has suggested that the
government tax wealth" and the money to pay
subsidy to cut the cost of food for people
This the Wall Street Journal concludes, is pure
bunk
The Commerce Department has just reported that
the total tax take of Federal State and local gov
ernments in the past fiscal year amounted to s52-
900 or 1862 FOR every man, woman and child
in the country For family of four that, If equally
divided would mean LAB The average worker look
ing at his last years tax bill will realize that he isn't
paving nearly that much and will conclude that the
balance of his share is being paid by other people
and by things corporations and real estate).
This is fallacious reasoning of the first water,
and high government officials and socaed RESPONSE
Bile economists are rendering public service when
they skip over the real import of hidden taxes Who
can figure out how much taxes add to the cost OF
suit of clothes, pair of shoes or bottle OF mllKf
Or the rent of a four-room bungalow What differ
ence does few billions for social security make
so long as the extra is paid for by corporation eves
and not by people?
No matter how you cover it no try to hide it
it's people" who pay taxes and not things The
taxes that the little does not pay directly IN
income taxi sales cigarette taxes, etc. he pays
indirectly on every item of food and merchandise ne
buyson every steecar ride he takes every public
utility he uses It's people and nobody else VINO pay
for every penny they let their government spend

on this erroneous reasoning abou takes that the sale
aspirin is increasing and concludes with the OBJ

ANOTHER DOLLY GAM ROW?

Capital hostesses, who haven't
enjoyed a good social row since
the days of Dolly Gam and Alice
Longworth's spat over who should
sit where at dinner, have been
glowing with anticipation over the
problem of who will be Vice Pres
ident Barkleys official hostess, and
where she will rank at official
dinners.
Vice President Barley, like Vice
President Charlie Curtis, is a
widower That was why Curtis
half sister, Mrs. Edward Everett
/ Gam, was made his official host
ess. And it was the question Of
whether the Vice Presidents sister
or the wife of Speaker Longworth
preceded the other at dinner which
threw social Washington into such
a nubbub during the Hoover ad-
ministration.
However, it looks as if Alben
Barley would disappoint the lad
les. Alben is not adverse to 60
ing out to dinner. In fact, he is
in great demand. But he doesn't
relish social rows.
Furthermore, his counterpart Il
also single Speaker-to-be San
Rayburn. Close friends, Sam anc
Alben have been going out TO-
gether as widowers for SO lont
that the idea of their rowing ovel

, was always a bachelor. He has m

unnatural therefore that he should
busy himself before election in
winning and dining various prospec-
tive members of the Dewey cabinet.
Mr.. Rosenstiel's motto is to leave
no stone unturned He is a sue
cessful businessman and he did not
become one by accident. He be-
lieves in looking ahead. Therefore,
not long before election, he look
ed ahead and retained Herbert
Brownell, campaign manager for
Mr. Dewey, as his attorney.
Looking still further ahead. he
also retained es his public rela-
lions counsellor Carl Byoir, pro-
Republican gentleman with pipe
lines into the DeWeyites.
Then TO make sure his position
with the new administration was
secure, he invited Dewey to &c
yachting with him right after
the election to get a little post

up for a vacation with Roger
Strauss of American Smelling anc
