MORE BUTTER
BETTER MEALS
At Mast thought the per capita
„consumption of butter in ,Canada,
over thirty-two pounds per year
may seem a high 'figure. This
amount, however, might well be
appreciable increased for it is Prov ,
en that butter is an economical •
food, which gives higher return in
food value for money spent.
Butter is unique atuong fats, be-
cause of its ]sigh vitamin A con-
tent. Two ounces of butter eaten
daily will meet the body's require-
ment for this health protective
vitamin. ;Recent research has
shown that there is no loss in the
churning process and it has been
proven that the vitaihin A potency
is not reduced when butter is held
iu storage nor when it is heated.

butter adds a. flavour to foods

other product. The daily serving

gestions for the practical home-

DIABETES NOT A KIDNEY
DISEASE
Diabetes known by the laity as
"sugar diabetes'", is not, as pope
larly supposed, a disease of the kid-
neys, The 'kidneys in cases of
diabetes are usually quite normal
Diabetes is a disorder in the assim-
ilation of &agar as a result of which
the sugar of the food tails to be
burnt up by the tissues of the body
and turned into energy. The im-
mediate cause of this failure is that
the supply orf insulin is deficient.
Insulin is a produnt of the islands
of Langerhans in the pancreas, It
these islands are damaged the
insulin supply will be unequal to
the demand, Insulin is a sort of
spark -plug which enables the
sugar (glucose) in the tissue cells
of muscles and other organs to
unite with the oxygen there and to
be burnt. This burning results In
the production et energy, In ad-
dition insulin enables glaaecose to be
transported fro nathe intestine to
the liver there to be stored as glyco
gen, Leek of insulin allows the
sugar to accumulate in the blond.
By means of the kidneys the accum-
ulated sugar is taken, from the
blood and passes away la the urine.
So sugar in the print is a sign or
diabetes. : atalgi t
'Tbe simple failure to barn sugar
Is net the worst feature of liabet.e.
In the proper combustion of fats a
certain propartion of sugar is
necessary Ina as in the carburetor
of the motor" car, there must be a
proper mixture or gasoline and air.
Zr there le not a proper eat -glucose
mixture, poisonous, subatances still-
ed ketone bodies will accumulate,
anis there will bo air -hunger, coma
and Other complications or diabetes,
Preventive medicine has made
remankalble progress fu, the last
quarter of a century, The incidence
and; mentality of a host et diseases
have been utaterialy reduced,
Some effeetlons such as,smiallpox,
diphtheria .and typhoid have all but
MORK/ areil. The diesasee of In.
''y ltuve been brought under 0c11-
tr11l, but notwithstanding the
brilliant disstovery of bMititia and its
great .value to certain eases of Mu -
hetes, the mortality from this afflic-
tion, judglaig from official reports,
hoe not been lowered, indeed.
there appears to be an increase. No
doubt some of the increase 1s the
rescc9t of better diagnosis and a
stricter record of deaths, A con-
edderable proportion is said to he
due to the high incidence of this
complaint among the Hebrew race.
Diabetes is ,believed by many auth-
orities to be an hereditary disease,
Dublin, the statistician of one of
the large ILS, insurance companies,
says that the Jewish population 01
that country has increased from one
million in 1900 to over four million
in 1935, 011e issues a 'warning
against marriage among those with
a family history of diabetes,
.Diabetes is constantly associated
with a temleney to corpulency.
Those inclined to put on excessive
fat those of Hebrew origin and
those with a history of fantliy
diabetes should govern their lives
so as to avoid this affection,
Common Salt And
It's Usefulness In
The Average Home
It is amazing the number of
domestic uses .there are for common
salt. Besides ordinary seasoning,
here are a few;
It is a valuable aid to digestion,
and it will deo relieve heartburn
when taken in cold water, A night-
ly gargle of salt and water will
strengthen a weak throat, and It is
an effective emetic .when necessary.
For freshly made fruit or wine
stains a sprinkling of salt will pre-
vent the stain teen becoming per.
manenit, Salt and, lemon juice to-
gether will very often remove an
ink stain, and if some has been ac-
cidentally spilled 0111 the carpet the
same treatment can be tried to
extinguish it. A shake of fine salt
in the soaking waster will help to
fi xt'he colons, or if the colors are
running, a quick rinse through cold
salt water, before washing, will pre-
vent them running into each other.
Salt thrown on the fire will make
it beautifully clear for grilling pur
Poses, and if the chimney is on fire
handfuls of common, salt thrown on
the flames will help to extinguish it.
A shake of floe salt on a toothbrush
is an excellent cleanser, while a
plaster of wet salt will relieve the
pain of a bee's or a wasp's sting.
