Brora Wap ‘Bellefonte, Pa., November 21, 1930, Your Health THE FIRST CONCERN. — Diabetes is a condition resulting “rom inability of the system to “handle properly the sugar which is consumed and which is essential to “health. In this disease the body be- comes overloaded with sugar and glucose. Other foods cannot be as- :gimilated properly and digestion fails, Persons who have a habit of over- eating and who are overweight are Subject to it. This tendency to overweight appears to “run in fam. jlies” and so, in a sense, diabetes may be considered to have a heredi- “tary nature. Obesity is usually a ‘forerunner of diabetes. It is more frequent, too, among ‘people who are mental workers, rather than among manual laborers. Nervous influences have their part ‘to play in the disease as well. It ds probable that disturbances In the nervous system interfere with ‘the chemistry of the body. There are upwards of a million people in the United States today “who have diabetes. Some types are ‘very mild in their nature, while -others are more severe. It is encouraging to know that ‘through a carefully planned diet and the use of insulin treatments, the disease may be kept in control. If a patient will follow certain health rules, he may live long and enjoy a useful life. The use of insulin in diabetes dates from 1921, when Dr. Frederick G. Banting, in the Toronto General hospital, made his discovery, He proved it possible to take insulin “from the bodies of young animals and use it in injections for the successful treatment of this disease. Its use makes possible the burn- ing of sugar in the body, and it also assists in the disposition of fat This insulin treatment is not taken independently of, but in connection with a proper and limited diet. The diabetic patient must first of all follow a carefully planned diet, which is outlined by his physician. “The prescribed diet is taken under the most precise regulations. Much can be accomplished by such a re- gime. The diet necessarily differs with each individual. All reasonable foods may be in- cluded but the total quantity should he strictly limited. The patient must be extremely temperate in the use of sweets. Unless frowned upon by ‘the doctor, they may be had in sim- ple desserts, but not between meals. Highly seasoned foods or sauces cannot be taken. Over-indulgence of every kind must be avoided. ~The older person should strive to keep his weight within normal bounds, and this may be accom- plished by exercise and a limited «diet. But in these matters medical ‘advice is important. The hope of humanity in its fight against the cancer scourge lies in ‘research and education of the public more than in unlikely discovery of “cures,” Congress was told after partially successful results of an experimental treatment were dis. ~closed to it. Dr. W. B. Coffey, chief surgeon ‘of the Southern Pacific Hospital, ‘San Francisco, told of beneficial ef- fects in 1,500 cancer patients fol- Jowing injection of a new extract ‘developed by him and his associate, Dr. John J. Humber. He and several other world au- ‘thorities on cancer appeared before a special Senate Commerce sub- committee to urge the Federal gov- ‘ernment to help in research. They -approvd the Ransdell bill to create ‘a national institute of health under the U. 8. surgeon general with wide powers of promoting and aid- dng research into disease. ~The medical profession already has “cures” for most cancer cases, if they are treated in early stages, by surgery or radiation, which in a ‘combination of X-Ray and radium ‘treatment, Dr. Joseph Bloodgood, -Johns Hopkins University specialist, ‘told the committee. Coffey and Humbert emphasized ‘they had no cancer “cure” but that ‘their experiments so far indicate “they have found a substance, which has the ability to stop pain and heck the growth of some malignant «cancer tumors. Doctor Bloodgood said the in- crease in cancer in recent years, is ‘due in part to the more certain diagnoses and in part to the fact ‘that longer terms of life are bring- ing more people into the “cancer age” when they are more likely to be attacked. —The subject of how to live long is always of interest, which per- “haps accounts for the eagerness of ‘the average mortal to seize upon “various methods which are recom- ‘mended for promoting health and longevity, such as doing daily exer- «cise to radio music and the like. “Acute indigestion led to the abandonment of vegetarianism on doctor's order. Another doctor rec- ‘ommended discontinuance of cold ‘baths. sued, but faith in them has been ‘shaken by the untimely death of “their inventor,” Still, we may find many who Swear the health fads and feed that their lives have been saved thereby. As the proverb has it, “What is “food for some is black poison for <pthers.” ~—We will do your job work right. BUY -IN- BELLEFONTE Dr. R. L.

QUALITY OFTEN OVERLOOKED Instance Seen In Case of Mail Order Houses Which Make Their Ap- peal Solely on Basis of Price. (Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.) Economy is one of the greatest of virtues but false economy is no more a virtue than anything else that is false. To be able to economize wisely is one of the greatest blessings that one can have, for it is the prerequisite to thrift and well-being. Too many persons, however, who think they have found the secret of true economy are practicing a false economy which i# worse than wilful waste. For instance, the man who buys a stove from a mail order house for $9 because he thinks he would have to pay $10 for one if he purchased it from his home merchant, is practicing a false economy, for the chances are that he would save more than $1 in the end if he purchased the $10 stove from the local hardware leader. There are several reasons why .this is false economy. The first one is that dollar for dollar, the greater part of the merchandise sold by the mail or- der houses is of less value than that sold by the retail merchants of the smaller communities. The mail order business, as a whole is built upon cheapness. In order to attract cus- tomers the catalogue houses m sell goods cheaply and'in order to dif that they must sell cheap goods. heir business is built up on price and not on quality. The retail hardware deal- er, like retail dealers in other lines, probably can match the prices ef the mail order houses. He probably has a $9 stove which he can sell to the man who wants to get a stove for $9. The trouble is that the man who buys from the mail order house does not distinguish between price and quality Thinks He Is Economizing. The man who buys the $9 stove from the mail order house probably would not buy a $9 stove from his local merchant for in the latter case he would see just what he was buying and might realize that the $9 stove would not meet his needs. He orders a $9 stove from the mall order house, however, just because the price is $9 The Key to Better Business LIFE IS A GIVE AND TAKE PROPOSITION and not because he has any assurance that the stove will meet his needs. He thinks he is saving a dollar or two by buying this stove instead of paying $10 or $11 to the home merchant for one that he has seen and knows will give him satisfaction. The chances are that when the stove arrives and he has used it for a short time he will realize that he has practiced false economy—that it would have been more economical in the end for him to pay a dollar or two more to his hom¢ merchant and get an article that war cuaranteed by the dealer, The patron of the mail order house, also, often fails to take the matter of transportation charges into considera- tion when making his purchase. He sees only the price of the article as listed in the mail order catalogue and does not think of the express or freight ‘charges, which with the cost of a money order and postage often make the total cost of the article greater than the price at which the same thing could have been purchased at the local store. Another case of false economy. Buying merchandise of poor quality because the price is low is often false economy when the purchase is made at the home stores but it is doubly so when the merchandise is bought from a mail order house. home one can be reasonably sure that the article purchased at a low price, while there is no such assurance when it is bought by mail on the “sight un: seen” plan. ; Idea Is Exploded. The idea that the mail order houses sell the same quality of goods at lower prices than the home merchants is quickly exploded when one learns of the large profits that are made by the majority of the mail order houses and the large selling expense to which they ‘are subjected. The large mail order houses spend hundreds of thousands of dollars annually for advertising and the selling expenses of the smaller concerns are proportionately as large. Their other expenses, such as rent, taxes and labor, are also higher than those of the local retail merchants, in proportion to the business which they - do. Im spite of these heavy expenses, the mail order houses distribute mil- lions of dollars in dividends among their stockholders. In one large mail order concern the profits of the stock- holders, in cash and stock dividends, have aggregated as much as 1,000 per cent on the capital invested in the short period of nine years. This does not indicate that the mail order houses are in business for their health and are giving away merchandise to their customers. The mail order houses have capi- talized the desire to economize that is inherent in almost every one. By plac- ing price above quality and making cheapness the fundamental element in their business they have inculcated in the minds of their patrons the idea that they are economizing when they buy cheap goods at cheap prices.
