TEE BTATIIS OF

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.

"And do tell me what James save you at Christmas. Ellen? And what did you do that day- How did you spend it?" a friend

of the family wrote in a neat hand on the welcome seasonal greeting card in the mail this

morning . . .

The trees held a powdering of snow on their branches and it was interesting to remember that with winter over the countryside. it is the firs and spruces, the pines and hemlocks that now claim atten- tion. dark and lovely against the white of the farmlands. Post tops were ermine-capped today and we knew the mill-stream was flowing darkly between its snow- moulded banks. . a 0 As did James, we enjoyed much our Greeting cards. reaching hands to us kindly as these do from near and distant places.

To carry a living plant half way round the world and find it flour- ishing when you reach your des- tination, might seem too much to expect. But the wife of a prom- inent Toronto doctor recently proved that it can be done.

While in East Africa. she sealed potted sprigs of a tropical bush in Pllofilm, a transparent, moisture- proof packaging material deve- loped by The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company. The result? Af- ter an 8,500 mile journey to Tor- onto. she unwrapped the bush - and found it not only healthy, but

ANSWER: You are not alone in your plight. Jerry; it's shared by many other boy: also the sole sons of parents who married later in life. s. it is true. can usually give their offspring more fl- n can the struggling young couple. but the ad- thelr total lack of understanding of

Older parent nnncial benefits the vantage is frequently offset by the problems of youth.

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. MISS DIX: Do you think it's wrong for my boy friend to come over when I have a job baby-sitting? lie is very nice and the people for whom I work don't object. However, my grandmother

ANSWER: When you have a Job. you also have responsibility. and you will not adequately fulfill your obligations if you turn the evening into a social affair. Your employers are very kind to per- mit your boy friend to spend the evening with you. but it is not the proper or right thing to do. your social occasions on evenings not taken up with baby-sitting.

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. I cannot ans- wer all of them because the ad- dressea were not given but they made the holiday season very hap- py for me.
