This Better Age
____The Work of-a clever cartoonist has for some time past been syndicated
_ to newspapers in America, under the general title “So This Is Progress,”
Wherein he depicts by way of contrast conditions of fifty or more years ago
___ With these of today, as, for example, a party of present-day tourists In a
high powered motor car speed'ng at sixty miles an hour along a highway
on which at every vantage point unsightly billboards invite you to chew this
gum, smoke that cigar, or use such and such a soap. In contrast he presents
the restfulness and beauty of a tramp through the woods, and by brooks,
and rivers rambling through the countryside. The work of this cartoonist
leads one to wonder sometimes whether the vaunted progress of this age of
frenzied speed, amazing machinery, industrialized mass production, insane
speculation is, after all, an advance upon the more leigurely life and-enjoy-
ments of the last century.

Such a picture is, however, one-sided, inasmuch as while it points out
drawbacks of today, it fails to the great and ga'ns to
humanity as a whole, amd already there is an awakening public opinion to
_ the need for the preservation of beauty and leisure, and emphasis is laid on
_ the fact that these need not necessarily be lost in order to make advance-
‘ment in Sther directions.

4 Recently another artist presented two companion pictures in a single
a drawing which he labelled “Th's IS Progress.” One picture was a reproduc-
_ tion of the famous painting “The Doctor,” p: the family physi
‘by the bedside of a dying child in a workman's humble cottage, intently
watching the child but apparently powerless to stay the ravages of the
_ disease which was slowly taking the life of the child before the eyes of the
: % @gonized parents. The companion picture revealed the medical scientist of
today at work in his laboratory with his scientific instruments locating and
studying those deadly germs and bacilli which, it is now recognized, are the
cause of disease. ThuS is war being waged not on disease after it claims its
_ victim, but on the causes of disease. This is progress, and a truer, because

Despite all the noise, the killing pace, even the ugliness of this mechan-

qized age, with its drawbacks in the merging of the individual artizan into
the cogs of a huge i and the ing worship of the
“almighty dollar, the standard of living is rising higher and higher, and
beauty Tost in one way is found and multiplied in countless other ways.
‘The average workman in our cities and manufacturing towns is now better
‘paid, better dressed, better housed, better fed, and, work'’ng shorter hours
under more sanitary conditions, has more time for leisure and recreation
_ than in any previous period in the world's history. His children are enjoy-
_ ing advantages in education and opportunities in life he never had in his
youth.

Even the toil and drudgery of the farm are disappearing with the
advent of power machinery and electricity. Soon, even in this last Great
West, high power transmission lines will carry electricity into the farm
home to bake and cook, chop feed, operate the churn, pump water, and
perform numerous other tasks. Eyen in advance of this, small gasoline
engines now do the work on many farms. The telephone, the radio, the

Substitute For Insulin

Raw Starch Foreseen As New Treat-
ment For Diabetes

Raw starches, in the form of un-

cooked vegetables, are foreseen 08

a possible substitute for insulin in

the treatment of mild diabetes.

) After two "years of research, Dr.
|S. at. Rosenthal, pharmacologist of
| U.S. pub-

the hygienic laboratory,
lic health service, has found that raw
starches may be eaten without an
appreciable rise in blood sugar.

‘The effect of insulin, wh'ch is in-
jected, is to keep the quantity we
sugar from rising in a patient's
blood after a meal. Further tests
are being carried out to determine
whether raw vegetables, taken as @
part of the meal, will not be as
effective as insulin. Raw starches
fed both to normal and diabetic
patients in the form of uncooked
carrots, turnips, onions, tomatoes,
radishes, and some nuts, were
found to prevent the rise in blood
sugar.

Research is progressing to deter-
mine whether the use of insulin can
be avoided in cases where it has been
injected once or twice a day. Promis-
ing results have rewarded the work,
Dr. Rosenthal said, but no definite
conclusion has been reached. - Dr.
Rosenthal’s discovery came as a by-
product of a study of digestion. He
cautions that the raw starches will
not act as a cure, no more than insu-
lin, but will be valuable in the treat-
ment.
