Notwithstanding the fact that Drs.

more than 25 years ago, and so en- abled diabetics b0 live as long, or nearly as long, as non-diabetics, there are still too many men, wrxnen and children under treatment for diabetes in the United States. And there are about 2 million more who have diabetes and do not know it.

An editorial in "General Practice Clinics," published by the Washing- ton (D. C.) Institute of Medicine. states that there is an esimated group of 50.000 juvenile diabetics in whom the disease developed before l5 years of age.

The real cause or causes of dia- lbetes are unknown. but the under- lying cause or condition is lack of enough insulin in the body. The diabetic diﬁers from the normal individual only in that, because of insufficient insulin (a fluid manu- factured by the pancreatic gland). he is unable to make use of some of his food and it gets thrown out of the body in the urine instead of being carried by the blood to serve useful purposes in the body- Thus one of the "good" results of the food shortage during World War H was the great decrease in the

By I‘. H. MacArthur

It is s source of satisfaction to all. Canadians who like to have their reading matter freq 1mm the virus of lex lud foul matter. to learn that. the Canadian Gov- ernment last year refused entry inito Canada of 8i books and 2.2 magazines and newppapers by reason of their immoral or in- decent character.

For some year-s pssf. obscene lit- erature has been flooding our land. Sometimes circulated by secret agencies, this trash has forced its way into the most se- cluded districts. 'The new law should do much towards checking this extensive evil, or at least causing it. to make itself less prominent. Many of these publi- cations carried advertisements of various so-called medical works marriage guides, etc, ufhlch are fruits of the same 7????

It is a painful fact, however, that the ‘total annihilation of every offensive book, which the law can reach will not wholly effect the cure of this evil, for many of the best sellers contain the same views, though frequently disguis- ed by beautiful imagery and em- bellished by whit. The words of some authors abound in resulting phrases. They may be listed as “best sellers", and no doubt they are, but ivhy? Because they arouse a prevalent curiosity in the minds of most young people as well es some not so young.

I have read such books, as have thousands oi‘ other Canadians, and can attest the fact that they arc, or ought to be, grouped in the obscene class, as they serve no other purpose than, to excite the passions and breed immorality. There are many which could be banished from Canada without loss to anyone.

Heredity is a large factor in the the cause of overweight, the edi- torial states, and this is also stated by Dr. E. P. Joslin. Boston, the out- standing authority on diabetes. Thus members of the families of diabetics should avoid infections. overeating and overweight it they wish to prevent diabetes. The suc- cessful treatment of diabetes, and it ls successful in practically every case. is insulin, diet and regulated exercise.

When we remember that before the discovery of insulin practically every case of diabetes died within months or a couple of years at most, and now. by following these simple rules, diabetics live as long or almost as long as non-diabetics we realize that humanity owes much to the discovers-rs of insulin.

Love ls DangerousGame For Teen-Agers To Play

DEAR MISS lDIX: The question of courtship between high-school students is a subject of much discussion in our school. think of love affairs between high-school girls and boys? think that 1t is human nature for them to fall in love with each other,

and that it is all right as long as we don't let l; l“. Jerfcre with our work?

To begin with, studies.

ATTRACTION NATURAL

Of‘ course. it is natural for girls and boys of high school ago to In an unsophisticated and primitive state of society it is the age at which the young mate. But we live in a highly artificial and most expensive time and place when we have houses and good food and fine clothes and cars to make us happy

and contented.

And these cost money and so make it impossible for boys and girls in their teens to carry out their natural inclinations to get married. Therefore, why play with fire when you have no hearth upo_n which

to build one?

Besides, when the primitive savage gets tired of his mate he can simply abandon her, and that's that. tired of our mates, we can only get rid of them at the price of messy And you may be aura that you will get deathly weary of your schoolgirl sweetheart, as she will of you, for a boy's and girl's tastes are unformed and the ones who fired their fancy at 18 will bore them lo tears by the time they are 21 or 22.

And there is always the greater danger in these schoolgirl-and-boy courtship: that the poor, foolish young creatures will get married and so wreck their lives in their very beginning.

Therefore, son, if you will take my advice you will cut out the

By An Island Farmer's Wile i???

We found a new cake in ‘the cupboard when we came in from our and-of-day choring. Now that. the evening milking is foregone, our chores have lessened. But we come to give the ducks-their heads named for one or another of the family occasions through the Winter-their supper of grain, and if granddaughter is present, slop to have them quack their thanks. Nice fowl, these are, friendly creatures excepting in the nuting season. We go on then to replenish the turkey‘: troughs while sho watches at a distance, eyes between pickets. A loud gobble makes her withdraw from there to the safety of a verandah. And together we fetch wood to the box and see ‘that there are re- serves of kindling for the nmr- rowis needs. Nippily cool it was then. but. invigorating. though it is pleasant to leave the out-ol- doors behind when the shadows deepen to come to the warmth and comfort within.

O O O I

The firelight was‘ throwing its dancing shadows against a wall, and the kettle was singing a lune favorable io the present supper- making. And when we took down an old lamp from the shelf, it was to remember how good are these farm homes of ours, which nestling do\vn at evening, as a hen covers her brood, shelters their people. On slopes, e-ven as ours, on hilltops overlooking the countryside for miles around, or amid their trees and groves look- ing out levelly on their modest or more extensive acreage. We like to think that at this moment. perhaps another farmer in some other kitchen looks up from his reading to a wife of many years. with a look of underolanding, and (do we fancy it?) content as does James, and with a sigh, which is not unrelated to Tabby‘s purr on the couch, go back again to his pleasure.
