Diabetes mellitus is a major health problem in the United States. One out of twenty people has diabetes or will develop it during his lifetime. An estimated 400,000 Chicago and Nor­ thern Illinois residents have diabetes, but 60 percent remain undetected. Diabetes develops when the body"cannot make use of certain foods, especially sugars and starches (car­ bohydrates). The most common symptoms are excessive thirst, frequent urination, constant hunger, loss of weight, itching, tendency to tire easily, changes in vision, and slow healing of cuts and bruises. But some people have diabetes with none of these symptoms. Anyone may become diabetic but the condition is found more often in people: with diabetic relatives; over 40 years of age; women more often than men; and, overweight. Many people do not think diabetes is a serious problem. In fact, it can take lives if it is not properly controlled. Diabetes Mellitus is a major health problem in the United States today. It is the leading cause of new cases of blindness, the third leading cause of death by disease, and a major cause in cardio-vascular problems. Neglect of diabetes may lead to increased risk of har­ dening of the arteries, cerebral hemmorrhage, kidney disease, gangrene, and diabetic coma. National Diabetes month is coordinated by the A m e r i c a n D i a b e t e s association, Northern Illinois affiliate, 6 N. Michigan avenue, Chicago, a v o l u n t a r y h e a l t h organization attempting to provide services for the estimated 400,000 area diabetics. There is a special detec­ tion phone, 346-2327.

Moles have powerful shoulder muscles and broad forefeet that have long, flattened claws. Twisted palms face outward. Their cylindrical bodies taper at both ends and their dirt-repel- lent fur lies as well backward as forward, easing passage in any direction. Moles' ears -- mere holes -- have no outer flaps that would hinder digging. Dr. Pyzlk Speaks For Area League The Fox Valley Homeopathic league will present Dr. Lawrence C.
