ages and that it would be unfair for
the women, who are comparatively
non-consumers, to deprive the men of
the privilege. The prohibitionists
made political capital of this, claim
ing that it was an undemocratic dis
tinction and an effort to withhold
from the women full benefit of the
suffrage only recently accorded them.
This situation was made especially
interesting in view of the fact that of
the three million voters in Sweden,
there is a majority of women by ap
proximately 160,000. However, the
returns showed that only 57 per cent
of the women voters voted dry. The
result of the referendum means the
retention for the present of the
“Bratt system," by which all wines
and liquors are dispensed under gov
ernment control from dispensaries
scattered over the country with re
gard to density of population. Light
beers do not fall under this arrange
ment, but are sold generally in gro
cery stores, etc. There are thirty
four dispensaries in the city of Stock
holm. Persons over twenty-five years
of age, who wish to purchase wines
or liquors, are issued “motboks" or
ration books, for use at a particular
dispensary, and are allowed to pur
chase wines without limit and from
one-fourth liters of spirituous liquors
per month, depending on the age of
the person and whether he or she is
married or single. There are approxi
mately 1,000,000 holders of “mot
boks” and only 7 per cent that num
ber are women.—Exchange.

PRAI8E IN8rLlNt DIABETES
REMEDY
(From Chicago Tribune, Feb. 10.)
The discovery of Insulin, a pan- !
creatic extract used in the therapy of \
diabetes, is one of the most remark- !
able advances made in the medical
world, according to a statement
made last night before the Institute
of Medicine of Chicago at the City
club by Dr. Russell Wilder of
Rochester, Minn. The monthly meet
ing of the medical society was in
honor of Dr. F. G. Banting and Prof.
J. J. R. McLeod of the University
of Toronto, who discovered and per
fected Insulin.
The meeting was attended by Dr.
William T. Belfield, Dr. Ernest Irons,
Dr. Joseph Capps, Dr. George H.
Weaver, Dr. R. T. Woodyatt, and
many other prominent physicians
and surgeons. Following a dinner
at which Drs. Banting and McLeod
were guests, a general ducussion of
diabetes and Insulin took place, dur
ing which the two Canadian physi
cians related the history and the ef
fect of the extract.
“We have had remarkable success
in the use of Insulin,” said Dr. Bant
ing, the young Canadian in whose
mind the Insulin “germ” was born.
“Our chief difficulty has been in ad
ministering proper doses. We have
perfected the manufacture with the
help of some United States chemists
and doctors and all that stands In
the way of the complete success of
this cure for diabetes is to dettrm ne
the proper dosage.
“I will tell you of one ca^.e that
has been under our care. The patient
was a 12 year old girl. Since coming
to our hospital we have doubled her
weight. She now does not need In
sulin and her diet contains as high
as 1,400 calories a day. She is now
able to take violent exercise, her ap
petite is good and she is a healthy
girl. She was almost ready to die
when they brought her to us.”
A detailed account of the two phy
sicians’ experience with diabetes and
the claimed cure they have found was
given, Dr. McLeod taking up the
question from the physiological view
point and Dr. Banting relating the
exper ences had in treating humans
for diabetes.
At the close of their addresses Dr.
Woodyatt of Chicago opened the dis
cussion. He related some experiences
he had had writh Insulin and pro
nounced it a successful medicine.
“The discovery of Insulin ranks
with the discovery of the diphtheria
anti-toxin and the perfection of sal
varsan, which is used in the treat
ment of syphilis,” said Dr. Wilder,
who is connected with the Mayo
clinic at Rochester, Minn. “We owe
much to these two men. The grati
tude of the entire medical world
should go out to them.”
Some phases of the treatment of
diabetes with Insulin remain unde
termined it is said. In the working
out of these Drs. Banting and Mc
Leod are having the co-operation of
many scientists in Canada and the
United States. All questions con
cerning the remedy should be cleared
up within a few months.
BRYAN, DEMOCRATIC GUIDE
William J. Bryan has journeyed
to Washington from his Florida
home to offer his views as to govern
ment and party principles. His ob
servations, as usual, were simple and
direct.
He called on Senator La Follette
and set his approval on the bloc
that the Wisconsin insurgent has
formed or is trying to form. He
advised Senator Norris that his plan
for direct popular election of Presi
dent was good, but that the vote
should be by congressional districts
instead of by states. He made typical
remarks on prohibition and sug
gested other governments be asked
to help stop smuggling of liquor. I
Mr. Bryan, as one who has long j
lived in Nebraska and once was the !
Populist nominee as well as the !
Democratic nominee for President, ■
might have been expected to back
the farm bloc. Mr. Bryan, who ad- J
vocated popular election of United ,
States senators back in the ’80s,
might have been expected to approve
a proposal for more direct popular
election of Presidents. Mr. Bryan,
who was a sort of radical on many
things in the heydey of his career, I
might have been expected to express j
some sympathy if not to give active .
aid to the more radical members of |
congress, even though the current i
radicalism goes rather beyond that
associated with his name.
Some will say that it matters little
what Mr. Bryan advocates, since he
is a kind of political lame duck. But
ever since 1896 Mr. Bryan has been I
something of a lame duck, and yef I
during much of that time he has ex- j
ercised a pronounced arfd sometimes j
a dominating influence upon his
party. As late as 1912 he hardily ;
undertook to lecture a national con- i
vention and demand that it reform
its ways, and at Baltimore it pro- i
ceeded to nominate Woodrow' Wilson
largely because of Mr. Bryan’s bitter
end opposition to Champ Clark.
The convention of 1920 at San
Francisco paid hardly any heed to
Mr. Bryan. It was very tolerant to
him. But it voted against him over- j
whelmingly on prohibition and it |
nominated Cox despite Bryan’s im
passioned denunciation of the Ohio
Governor as a “wet.” But this should
not be taken as final evidence that
Mr. Bryan is politically down and
out; for the convent on of 1904, !
which nominated Alton B. Parker, a
“gold Democrat,” treated Mr. Bryan’s ,
wishes just as the San Francisco con
vention treated them in 1920—yet
four years later he was party leader
and nominee again.
Mr. Bryan has got used to the role ;
of lame duck. One might say he j
has learned rather well to w'alk on
his good leg. Defeats have been his ;
for so long that he does not mind :
them nearly as much as would an- <
other. And, lame as he is politically, j
he often has managed and still may
manage to put up a formidable fight.
Though his first nomination for the 1
Presidency came twenty-six years 1
ago, Mr. Bryan is still comparatively
a young man. He is only 62. His ,
long experience has made him, as j
even most of his enemies concede, a
highly skilled political general—New |
