Notwithstanding the fact that the lives of yytiousands of cancer patient: are being saved by X-rays, radium and surgery, the cause is still unknown and thousands of patient research workers through- out the world are diligently seek- ing it. Once thp cause is found. early treatment can be given and early treatment will prevent 'cancer. When we think of those two formerly fatal diseases. diabetes and pernicious anemia. and realize that these diseases can now be controlled. it gives us hope that the nndlng of the cause of cancer may not be much longer delayed. It is of interest at this time to read a recent report of Dr, Elliott P. Joslin. Boston. the pioneer in the study and treatment of dia- betes. In The Journal of the American Association. Dr. Joslin gives the history of patients living with this disease whose diabetes started or was first recognized while they were under 40 years of age. There were 516 cases with diabetes of 25 yea.rs' duration with onset between 15 an 40 years, 273 men and 243 women. In ths group, as in all other groups. the percentage with a his- tory of heredity in diabetes was high. namely 44 per cent: among the men it was 32 per cent and among the women 53 per cent (as usual. higher). What is the present status or condition of these 516 diabetics whose onset was between the u;.:es of 15 and 40, with 25 years of dia- betes behind them? Information was sought for nine items from reports from patients and pliysicians as to their nbillty to work. whether cataracts had or were forming, whether amputation; of an extremity had been done, if there were heart or head disturb- ances, It was found that practically all of those diabetics (94 per cent) were taking insulin; 80 per cent are active although they are far above the age of 40. now ranging up to 65 years or more. "The patients in perfect condi- tion are those whose treatment was begun with strenuous control of the diabetes in their carly years, this control being maintained for lo years more or less. which is longer than usual." Dr. Joslin mentions the work being done by other research work- ers, particularly with diabetic children, showing that the evi- dence is overwhelming that strict treatment of diabetes pays and control of the disease 15 possible. In conclusion. Dr. Joslin states that although the life of a diabetic child or adult is no flowery bed of ease. premature death from dia- betes need not occur. . ;;l"l0USel'lOld Scrapboolzlg fly Roberta Lee . msmml satin Suppers satln slippers that have become shabby at the toes will look like new if they are given an applic- ation of wood alcohol rubbed the same way as the satin.

THEY LACK PERSPECTIVE Naturally. the further away we get from our own youth. the more difficult it is to get a perspective on the problems of the new generation. If a couple reaches the age where they would. normally be grandparents before they became parents. obviously they are in for a difficult adjustment. Their child becomes a treasured toy upon whom every luxury must be lavished. Paradoxically. this pampering is often accompanied by an exercise of discipline designed to push the youngster more quickly into an acceptance of adult standards. Natur- ally the result is utter confusion on the part of the child. who only wants. as does Jerry. a normal existence. Changing your parents' attitude towards you is not a fight to be waged single-handed. Can you enlist the aid of a teacher. or adult friend who could exert a little influence with your family? A straight- forward talk on the desirability of less supervision might help. It will not effect a great change. however; your parents are too set in their own habits by now. Just realize that you have many advant- ages. and let these benefits offset in great measure the liabilities of your position. DEAR.

Hyacinth: and Daffodils that were planted in October have been brought to the light for blooming. Few flowers are more colorful and worthy of use as potted plants than are Hyacinths. They are easy of culture and po lar not only as window plants but as gifts for shut in friends in the winter season. As with daffodils and tulips. it is of prime importance that an abundance of roots is made before forcing is c-mmenced. rrhe growth tops will be blanched and so they should not be exposed to direct sunlight until they turn green which will be in a week to ten days. The young growth at this time would be at least one and a half inches long. As soon as the young growth is green the plants should be set in direct sunlight in a temperature of 55-60F. They may be grown in 9. temperature as high as 'loF.. which will bring them to mature flowering stage in 25-30 days. However. the cooler, the better will be the quality of the flowers. During the growing period liberal supplies of water. and a light spray in the morning in bright days is beneficial . Apartment dwellers who have no storing facilities for a rooting have in the hyacinth a plant they can grow with remarkable success without soil in hyacinth glasses. After filling these with water the bulbs should be placed so that the base of the bulb and the water Just meet. store in a dark cupboard or cool place until root formation is well advanced. will take about two months. Fil- tered light should be provided for ten days and then the strongest light available should be provid- ed in an airy but not draughty window will bring them to flow-.- e'ring stage. Add fresh water fol keep it to the original volume. Save the bulbs after blooming. and they do well for many years when planted in the garden in the; following September. There - are. some of-these hyacinth! in this garden for twenty years or more. Daffodils can be cared for the some as the 1-lyacinths except that they need less heat when they are forced and they do well planted in the garden after forcing just the same as the I-fyaclnths. A beautiful catalogue has been received from England and seeds will be ordered soon as the new garden year has come. and it is fun to plan for the garden in the first month of the year. At this time I wish to thank all the kind friends who sent cards and greetings to me.
