Beal Wars on
Auto Rafflers
Complaint Filed Against Al
leged Promoters of Church
Benefit Drawing.
The gentle occupation of offering
ahlny automobiles for a dim# on
street corners In "raffles" was dealt
a hard blow Saturday by County At
torney Henry Beal, who Issued a
complaint against Julius Schmid, 6122
Florence boulevard and Fred Stroud,
West Center road, charging them
with violation of the “gift enterprise"
statute.
Beal says he knows of three auto
mobiles which have been “raffled"
recently In Omaha but were never
awarded to any of the hopeful buy
ers of the tickets at “a dime, three
for a quarter.”
The latest was a Ilalncs car which
appeared mounted on a truck on
downtown corners and in connection
with which • tho name of a colored
Methodist church was used.
Saturday morning, Theresa Robert
son, Carlton hotel, called on the
county nttorney and stated she had
not been paid tho commissions prom
ised her by tho promoters. She sold
8,000 tickets on the car. Schmid and
Stroud are said to operate carnivals
and raffles on a wholesale scale.
The Haines car was to have been
raffled and awarded last Saturday.
Dozens of ticket holders have railed
up the county attorney's office since
then, complaining of the failure to
"pick the lucky winner."
In one of the other "raffles," Real
says, the number was drawn but
when the supposed winner called for
his car, he was told that a mistake
had been made. He didn't get the
car.
“All such raffles and lotteries are
illegal," said Beal. Penalty provided
is $500 fine or six months Imprison
ment. /

Bine® th® discovery of Insulin great
Interest has been shown by the public
In the subject of diabetes. Diabetes
Is a disease of the pancreas, th® pan
ereas being that organ In th® body
which has to do with the digestion of
carbohydrate foods (starches and
sugar). It is called the sweetbread in
animals, and Is situated Just below
the stomach. It Is a small but very
Important organ and gives to the
body two secretions, one Is given off
to the Intestine and digests the
starches, the other, which Is develop
ed from small gland® in the pancreas
known as the Islands of Dangerhans.
Is thrown into the circulation and
further changes starches that have
been absorbed in the Intestines so
they may be more completely untlliz
ed by the body.
The diabetic Individual owing to
disease of these Islands of Langer
hans Is not able to utilize his stardh
and for this reason the symptoms of
diabetes appear. The body of a nor
mal Individual might he compared to
an engine which requires three kinds
of coal in order to run Tproperly, If
one type of coal were dropped
through the grates and combustion
was not occurring the engines would
lack power, give off less heat, and so
forth.
The human body or engine also re
quires three kinds of coal (food), pro
tein food (tnllk, meat and eggs) fat
food (cream, butter, fat of meat and
so forth) and carbohydrate food
(bread, potatoes, vegetables). In dia
betes, owing to the fact that the se
cretion, Insulin, from the glands
mentioned above Is absent, the cardo
hydate food the individual takes
passes through his body without be
ing utilized.
Increasing In P. S.
Diabetes is not a new disease for
It was known and described by Are
taeus 300 years befor® Christ, but
the interesting and Important thing
a’hout the disease Is that it Is definite
ly on the Increase In the United
States today, and should It continue
to Increase In the next 30 years as It
Increased from 1880 to 1910 It will
rival tuberculosis as a cause of death.
Except for diseases of th® arteries
diabetes ha* Increased mor® rapidly,
as a cause of death In the registra
tion are of the United States In the
first decade of this century than can
cer, organlo diseases of the heart or
Bright’s disease. There Is Justifica
tion, therefore, for the diabetes both
by the layman Rnd physician in the
last 10 years.
Mor® men ar® treated for diabetes
than women, however mor® women
dl« of th® dlseas®, according to the
mortality statistics. The probable
reason for th® larger number of cases
found In men Is the fact that men
more frequently appear for Ilf® In
surance and periodic health examina
tion, and in that way the disease is
discovered In Its earlier stages.
The association of obesity with dia
betes has long been noted; In about
SO per cent of case® obesity precedes
the outbrake of the disease. Diabetes
la therefor® largely a penalty of
obesity and the greater the obesity
the more likely Is nature to enforce
the penalty. After the age of 30 Indi
viduals are at their best If 10 to 20
per cent below the average weight.
After 50 both men and women are at
their best, when considerably below
the average for their height and sex.
This holds true not only In lessening
their liability to the development of

diabetes but heart and blood vessel
disease as well.
Often Inherited.
The history of diabetes In grand
parent, parent, uncle or aunt Is ob
tained In about 20 per cent of dia
betic eases. The frequency with which
dlabete* la found among the Jewish
race is indicative of the Importance
of heredity aa a causative factor.
With the avoidance of obesity, how
ever, and with moderation in the use
of sweet foods the possibility of chil
dren of diabetics developing the dis
ease 1s markedly lessened. The urine
of such Individuals, however, should
be examined periodically, particular
ly when conditions arise which
would favor the development of the
disease.
The infectious diseases are causa
tive factors in the development of dia
betes, partly because of the fact that
Infections may cause degeneration of
the Islands of Langerhans and part
ly because convalescents from dis
eases have unusually large appetites
and are almost always overfed during
a period of Inactivity, thus throwing
an excessive load on the pancreas.
Lack of exercise is an Indirect
cause of diabetes, producing condi
tions of overweight. Disuse of mus
cles, however. Is In ltaelf a direct
factor for It Is largely In these mus
cles that the sugar is consumed. The
man who gives up an active outdoor
life and is promoted to an office
chair becomes by this changs a
promising candidate for diabetes.
IiOok Out For Sugar.
There is real danger in the candy
habit and It i« possible that the re
cent Increase In the quantity of sugar
consumed In the United States has
increased our number of diabetica.
Between 1S00 and 1810 the average
consumption of sugar by each In
dividual was 11 pounds per year, but
between 1910 and 1910 it was 73
pounds, and Herbert Hoover Is credit
ed In the daily papers for September,
1917, with showing this figure for
1917 had risen to 90 pounds per year.
The strenuous life led by the aver
sge American business man Is also a
significant factor In the development
of the dlseaee, for It hsa been' repeat
edly shown that individual* under
mental strain, student* taking exam
inations, for example, frequently
show traces of sugar In the urine.
Unlike many other diseases the
dlagnoale of diabetes may be aaally
mad* by any ona capable of examin
ing the urine. It does not require
the aid of a apeclallst nor elaborate
and expensive laboratory equipment.
It la frequently found in life Insur
ance eramlnation and the periodic
health examination* that many Indi
vidual* undergo. Recognized early m
this way simplifies the treatment and
offers the individual early relief of
any aymptoms he may have.
How Is Diabetes Treated?
The symptoms of 80 per cent of
diabetic Individuals may be controlled
by a regulation of the diet alonet
by restricting the carbohydat* .foods
and Increasing the protein and fat
the body may be supplied with suf
ficient food in 24 hours to take care
of its needs and at the same time les
sen the work thrown upon the dis
eased organ, the pancreas. In thla
way It may he given a chance to re
cuperate. In about 20 per cent of the
oases, however. It may be necessary
to supplement the dietetic treatment
by the hypodermic Injection of In
sulin, insulin being that extract of the
Islands of Langerhans that has to do
with the digestion of starches. For 40
years it has been known that the pan
creas had this secretion, but it re
mained for Dr. F. G. Banting, an ob
scure practitioner of medicine in Lon
don, Ontario, to discover the means of
extracting and preparing It for use 1n
diabetes. Ineulin haa already length
ened the life of many severe diabetic*
over two years and has removed the
danger of death In coma that has con
stantly haunted the diabetic patient
of the past. The effect of Insulin in
jections in comatose patients in re
turning them to consciousness has
been slmost miraculous. Another
striking effect of the use of insulin
is shown in the results obtained In
children. Previous to the discovery of
Ineulin the duration of life for the
average diabetic child waa one to on#
and a half year*. There are many
children living today being treated by
lnaulln Injection* since March, 1921,
who would have long passed on had
It not been for this brilliant dlacov
ery. It not only arreats the down
ward course of the disease but in
.
I cresee the ability of the individual to
! take the diet necessary for that age
and weight. It makes possible in
children a gain In weight and growth
with increase in mental and physical
tiger with an entire absence of any
permanent ill effect. Many experi
ments have been performed, but with
out success, in an attempt to give In
sulin In some other way than by the
hypodermic route. The cost of the
preparation has been reduced so that
it now is available at 1 cent per unit
and very few individuals require over
15 units a day. The economic aspect
of the discovery is self-evident. The
hopeless, incapacitated Individual can,
with an expenditure of 1 cent to 20
cents for insulin per day become a
useful wags earning member of so
ciety.
The work done on the dietetic treat
ment of diabetes by Allen and the dis
covery of insulin by Banting are but
two examples of the wonderful ad
vances made in the last 40 years re
garding the cause, the prevention and
the treatment of disease. Society
owes it to Itself to take advantage of
| these discoveries so that suffering
may ho relieved and lives may b« pro
longed. The sincerity of the medical
profession in endeavoring to prevent
disease, and to reduce mortality and
morbidity, is well shown by the
