Green Street, McHenry (Closed Thursday Afternoons) Columbian Sources Relatively important producers of columbium, as now known, are the .Belgian Congo and Brazil. In 1946, it was reported that rich columbium deposits had been found in the Ural Mountains of the Soviet Union. The southern part of Manchuria, from Which Chinese Communists have been moving in on% the Korean struggle, was said, in 1947, to contain uranium and other ores, mixed with columbium. Within recent weeks, Norway has announced plans for working new-found columbiumholding deposits. - "You have diabetes", says your doctor and immediately there coines into your blind the thought of hopelessness and invalidism. There is no need for such an attitude, fcjir today the control of diabetes is well established, resting almost entirely in the hands of the diabetic himself, according to a HEALTH TALK issued by the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society. Since the discovery of insulin the doctor can teach the patient how,' with proper diet and iusulin, the patient can control his, disease. •'.* •*. The Word "diabetes" stems flrom Greek.-roots meaning a "pouring out." In the case Of diabetes it is the pouring out of abnormal amounts of urine which contains sugar. In normal persons there is no sugar in the urine ordinarily. In the individual with diabetes, the gland called tjie pancreas. located behind the stomach, fails to produce a, sufficient supply of- insulin, a hormone essential to the conversion of sugar into energy. When ~the unused sugar reaches a certain level in tli,. blood, it Is removed by the kidneys.

Because there is apparently some hereditary angle in diabetes, it is important for persons coming from a family where diabetes is known to be alert for sy mptoms of the disease. Diabetes is not generally painful, though sometimes it is first noticed in neuralgia or pain in the toes. It is not contagious. Important symptoms are loss of weight, excessive thirst, lack of energy, fatigue and frequent urination. The loss of weight is most marked in persons who have previously been overweight and it seems that In this group of overheavy persons there is a tendency toward diabetes. Knowledge. intelligence and character are three essentials in controlling diabetes. Death is certain for diabetics who ignore the rules. It is a burdensome thing to weigh food, for example, as is necessary for the diabetic, assuring the patient of a proper weight balance. Carbohydrates,, such ks sugar and starch, and fat must be balanced in the body according to a formula established for the individual patient by the doctor. Then the patient must learn how to test urine for sugar, a simple process also' taught him by the family physician. If it is necessary to take injections cf insulin, the patient must learn the technic bravely and willingly. Increased attention must be given to the care of the skin and feet, guarding against carbuncles and boils on the skin and gangrene aiid infection of the toes, for a diabetic is especially, liable to infection. , This Is where intelligence and character play an important role. Dividends are a norifial life, insofar as energy and activity ape concerned, and a longer life. The wise person will have an annual physical examination. Then, if diabetes is detected, your doctor will help you establish £ normal routine for your individual case. Don't .feel that everything in life has ended if you develop diabetes. Trust your doctor. With your cooperation, he will help you live a long and satisfactory life.
