_ Varied endeavours engaged the ‘attention of the farmers in the vicinity of Aiderlea today. In a field bounded on ne side by this road of ours whic winds out. and over the hilltop, and snug against western woodlands, folks were at the digxlnl. There, we have often seen Pat at work, at the sowing perhaps after a team, or maybe when the sun was dipping 1n sum- m". Bathering the pretty herd of cows home to the milking,

"You‘d find yourself growing mighty hungry, admiring a piece of striking scenery, Ellen!" he has chuckled to us, and even though we still have a liking to believe that there is such an ideal estate as “living in love", James is one to remind us with our head in the clouds, that "when want. r-omes in the door, love flies out the window“ which adage to our mind could be only part truth since more than once in our ex- perience we have seen these in- visible bonds strengthened instead

WHY DIABETICS CONTINUE T0 LIVE

Now that it is known that insulin controls diabetes and that insulin and a prescribed diet enables dia- betics to live about as long as they would if they did not have diabetes, m ny of us may consider that dia- betes has been conquered. The truth of the matter is that while diabetes is not a contagious dis- ease, it is hereditary, and the new million diabetics are chiefly the relatives of diabetic persons. ' Dr. Elliott P. Joslin, Boston. the outstanding authority on diabetes. from statistics gathered by Dr. Pri- cilla White. states in the “Journal of the American Medical Associa- tion." that diabetes is found seven times as often in relatives of dia- betic persons as in non-relatives.

Another statement Dr. Joslin has often made. and which is still true is that diabetes is overwhelmingly more ccmmon in th obese (over- weight). It is mo common in females and occurs more often in the Jewish race.

In the great majority of cases diabetes is not noticed or recogni- zed for months or even years after its onset. A physician friend of mine told me recently that one day, as he had been feeling tired, he ex- amined his urine and found he had diabetes. iIe had lost some weight for which he was grateful. but had

75 how, takes insulin daily. and looks years younger than his age.

Because physicians recognlle that insulin takes the place of the in- sulln their own pancreas gland has failed to manufacture, they them- selves inject insulin into them- selves regularly and follow the prescribed diet. Thus physicians with diabetes have s. lower death rate than all Dr. Josllns patients.

Over the past 50 years. Dr. Jos- iin has treated over 33.000 patients (ivith sugar in the urine). and ad- vises physicians to continue regu- 1M’ examinations oi’ the urine of their patients even after the dis-

noi; even suspected diabetes; he is
