Diabetes Facts lly Dept. ,f Health State of Nebraska In spite of continued progress in finding and caring lor pa tients, diabetes is still among I he ten leading causes of death in the United States. What is Diabetes? It is a eon dition in which the body dues not have sufficient insulin to use properly the sugar from foods that are eaten. The lab oratory evidence of the diea.se is established by either blood .sugar tests or urine sugar tests. It develops in people from all age groups, forty, tlMJse but persons over ; with diabetes in the family, and those who are , overweight are most likely to have it. Scientific figures show that 85 per cent of diabetics are overweight. Diabetes is a serious disease and there is no cure for it, but the majority of those having it are able to live normal, use ful lives. They are alive be cause their cases were detected early enough, and because they have followed their doctor's in structions and keep in close touch with him. They are not invalids. Some of themf need only control the injtake of certain foods and thus regulate the production of sugar in the body. Others will need hvulin made THOMAS WALLINC CO.

In addition to insulin and regularity in eating prescribed amounts of certain types ot food", it is necessary to have moderate exercise in order to burn excess sugar in the blood and to prevent reactions. It is the second group of dia betics about who there is need for special concern. An esti- mated million people in the United States have the disease and do not know it. They should be touna and helped as soon as possible, be fore the disease progresses into premature hardening of the arteries, kidney disease, gan- grene, impaired vision, or other afflictions that accompany un- controlled diabetes. Some of these unsuspected cases will be found through routine check- ups by family doctors. It is recommended that every one have regular tests so that, if the disease develops, it will be caught in its initial stages. The test for diabetes is sim ple.

It may mean an act, that which is done, a thing done, an exploit or a feat. But in law, the word refers to a written paper which conveys an interest in real property. Deeds are used to transfer the title to real property. Frequently a deed is relerred to as a "war ranty" deed, a "quit-claim'' deed or a "joint tenancy" deed. Other descriptive words are also used. These names may describe the nature of the deed, the manner in which the grantee takes title, or may refer to the grantor. A deed may be called a "joint tenancy" deed. This means that the deed creates a "joint ten ancy" in the buyers. The name "join tenancy'' reers to the estate created. The estate creat ed refers to the title taken by the buyers or grantees. Many other descriptive words may be used. A deed may be called a "corporate" deed. This simply relers to the grantor. The seller in such deeds is a corporation. Basically, however, all deeds are quit-claim or war ranty deeds. In a warranty deed the grant or asserts that he has title and warrants that title. He assures the buyer that he will defend that title in the event it is ever questioned. Should the buyer have to defend a lawsuit to pro tect his ownership of the pro perty, he may then use his seller for any damages suffered. On the other hand, a quit claim deed does not guarantee any! title. The seller, or grantor, con veys his interest in the property whatever that interest may be. He may have only a possible in terest. He may actually have no own ership in the property but the abstract of title may show that he may have a possible claim. He may then give a quit claim deed just to clear the title. If he should have a good title the property may be conveyed just as effectively as by war ranty deed but he then does not warrant the title. Whatever a deed may be call ed is really not important. The important thing is what it says. The wording and language de a warranty deed or a quit claim deed.

ALL AMERICAN DESSERTS America's near-reverence for its traditions, coupled with a fond ness for good eating, has made almost unnecessary the question, "What's for dessert?" at the principal meals served during the holi day season. Today, centuries after their prototypes were first baked in ovens of England and colonial America, pumpkin and mince pie and fruit cake continue to domi nate the dessert menu during the most festive season of the year. Files of the Louis Livingston Library of Baking, a Chicago, library whose history .traces .back three-quarters of a century, contain articles about (and even recipes for) the pumpkin pies of ancient Greece and Rome, the mince pies of medieval Eng land and the fruit cakes of early Egypt. Today, .Amer ica's bakers report that the exact ing test of time has made these desserts as typical of the holiday season as roasting turkey, the sound of sleigh bells and auld lang syne choristers. In capsule form, the Library of Baking reports that English bak ers sold "Pumpion pye" more than six centuries ago and that 'Little Fellow in Armor Is a Real Hodge-Podge The armadillo would be a strong contender in any contest to pick North America's oddest mammal. The""stra'hge creature has a scaled head like a lizard's, ears like a mule's, claws like a bear's, and a tail like a rat's. It wears a bony suit of armor like Don Quixote's To cross a creek, an armadillo gulps quantities of air, inflating its insides so it can float; and then paddles across. If the stream is narrow, the animal simply walks across the bottom, weighted by its heavy armor. An armadillo litter almost in variably consists of four identi cal young of the same sex. They develop from one fertilized egg. "Little Fellow in Armor" Spanish conquerors of Mexico dubbed the animal armadillo, "little fellow in armor." Several species are common in Central and South America, the Nation- al Geographic Society says. But only the ninebanded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus), which is about the size of a house cat, has invaded the United States, Dasypus has spread from the Grande country in Texas north ward to Kansas and Missouri and eastward to Alabama. In troduced into Florida about 1920, the armadillo flourishes there, too. In recent months, armadillos have started slowly out of west ern Texas. Biologists speculate that the migration is caused by a drought in the region or a gradual decline in the animal's food supply. The armadillo relishes grubs, grasshoppers, and worms; it may down 40,000 ants at a sit ting. It also eats insects such as termites, fire ants, roaches, tarantulas, and scorpions. j It usually forages at night. ; plowing into soft soil with its : nose, snuffling and grunting. Its keen sense of smell enables it : to locate insects five or six ; inches beneath the surface. It i digs down with powerful front! feet and flicks out its long sticky j tongue to capture tasty morsels. I The aramadillohas dim sight j ; and poor hearing. It often con-! centrates so intently upon hunt-i ing that it ignores everything j else, even potential enemies. Foraging armadillos have bump-j ed into the legs of men. I. Sinks From Sight j Alarmed, an armadillo may gallop clumsily into thorny un-i derbrush or scuttle into a bur-1 row. If escape is cut off, the armadillo digs so fast and fur- j iously that it literally sinks out : of sibht.

Typical mince pies of medieval England weighed more than 100 pounds and their crusts were confined by iron bands in baking. The first actual fruit cake is thought to have been baked in Egypt several centuries ago from ground wheat, rare spices, oil and honey. It, too, came to us from England. While these desserts remain basically the same, the modern baker, through years of experi menting with ingredients, tech niques and processes, has de veloped holiday pies and cakes especially suited to the native appetite of Americans. enough impact to knock out a dog's teeth or break a man's finger. This habit has cost the lives of armadillos who bounced against the undersides ofi auto mobiles straddling them. The nine-banded armadillo can curl up into a protective ball formed by the telescoping joints of its bands. It uses this defense mainly as a last resort, because the armor does not completely cover its body, and a mountain lion, coyote, or dog can flip it over and tear open the soft belly. Though the armadillo destroys many harmful insects, it still is mistakenly hunted as a pest, and for its edible flesh. It is known in parts of Texas as "poor man's Pig."

Of the G5l: million workers employed in 1959, the U.S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics has estimated that about 16.2 million earned their living in factories.

Finigan State Director of Agriculture Work has commenced on two important new chemistry stud ies at Midwest Research Insti tute. Dr. B. W. Beadle, director of the Chemistry Division at MR I said formal signing of the con tracts last week would give Nebraska the efforts ot approxi mately eight more scientists. One of the projects will evalu ate amylose starch as a raw material in the manufacture of soluble and insoluble packag ing films and in adhesives. The goal of the project is to increase the demand for high amylose industrial corn which was grown in Nebraska for the first time this year near Cen tral City with the cooperation of the Merrick County Agricul tural and Industrial Corpora tion and American Maize Pro duels Compaay of Roby, Indi ana. The other project will seek to discover new products such as detergents, surface coatings, re sins, explosives, gelling agents, antioxidants, plasticizers and pharmaceuticals from a reac tion discovered by Dr. Carl B. Linn of Univerrsal oil Products Company, who is also a form er Nebraskan. A third contract formally signed initiated an economic study into agriculture's role in the growing fermentation in dustry. Governor-elect Frank B. Mor rison visited Midwest Research Institute last week to talk with officials about L. B. 722 research and its implications for increas ing Nebraska's industry as well as raising farm prices.' Dr. Charles Kimball, presi dent, of MRI conducted Mr. Morrison on a tour of the lab oratory facility. Mr. Morrison also visited with scientists actually working on Nebraska's wheat gluten study. "If we had given the same attention to market develop ment that we did to greater crop production there would be no surpluses," Morrrison said. Governor-elect Morrison also supported the introduction of new crops into Nebraska as a means of increasing farm in come and reducing surpluses. : ',,-.;' i You don't have to go all the way to the North Pole to find Santa Claus he has a home in Indiana.
