TUBERCULAR PATIENT IS OFTEN
DIABETIC, SAYS SANTA BAR
BARA PHYSICIAN
SANTA BARBARA, Aug. 14.—Insu
lin, the new treatment tor diabetes is
an aid to tubercular patients, Dr. W.
D. Sansum of Santa Barbara declared
today at a session of the National
Tuberculasis association.
“A good many cases of tuberculosis
are also diabetic and in trie past have
been nearly hopeless because hereto
fore Sie treatment of diabetes meant
a severe diet and undernourishment,
whereas the treatment of tuberculo
sis calls for the best nourishment ob
tainable.”
Insulin, according to experiments of
Dr. Sansum, frees th* patient of all
diabetic symptoms and permits treat
ment of tuberculosis with a good diet.
One patient he has ben treating has
gained 35 pounds under the insulin
treatment and now weighs 15 pounds
more than he ever did before.
Treatment of an actively tubercu
lous lung by collapsing it, when only
one side is affected was urged by Dr.
Brown and Dr. Eloesser of San Fran
cisco. The collapse by artificial pneu
morthorax, according to these au
thorities spares the affected part of
the lung the exertion of breathing,
which prevents rest and delays heal
ing.
The sound half of the lung is suf
ficient to care for respiration.
Where, because of adhesions the
complete collapse of the lung cannot
be obtained by puncturing the pleura
with a needle the more radical surgi
cal operation of thorocoplastry must
be used.

01 SENATOR
SAYS REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRA
TION WILL NOT BE LED
ASTRAY
CINCINNATI, August 14—Comment
ing upon the outcome of the election
in Minnesota, United States senator’
Simon D. Fess, Ohio, today declared
at a large gathering of republicans
that republicans must stand firm on
sound economic doctrines, otherwise
both the party and the country will
enter on an experiment, the end of
which no man can see. The Minnesota
election resulted as it did because the
farmers “are sore,” Senator Fess said.
In a statement maoe prior to the
meeting, Senator Fess said that “the
republican administration is not go
ing to be led astray because a dema
gogue arises and offers a panacea for
all the farmer’s ills.
“The farmers’ suffering and the low
price of wheat has been brought about
by natural causes and it will be ad
justed by natural means. The admin
istration will do all that can be done
to help but it has no intention to fix
prices and thereby throw business con
ditions into chaos.”
“The administration,” he said, “is
proceeding on sound principles and it
has a definite policy. The low price of
wheat is a natural consequence of war
and post war conditions. During the
war, everyone, including the farmer,
was urged to produce to the limit.
This was done and after the war the j
farmer kept it up, with the conse-!
quence that millions of bushels of sur-1
plus wheat have been produced.
“When the farmer learns that there
is no longer demand for wheat he will
cease producing so much and the price
will return to normal.”
LONDON, Aug. 14—For three years

the house and the monotony of that
dreadful ordeal nearly drove her to
suicide, she claimed.
The coqple was married in 1909
and for over ten years lived very
happily. Mrs. Diver was recently
granted a divorce.

HIGH WATERS II
EAGLE DISTRICT
DAMAGE MINERS
High water early last month seri
ously affected mining operations in
the Eagle district, according to recent
arrivals from the camp. The water on
American creek directly tributary to
Eagle, according to Mr. Bryant, was
the highest on record, and dumps,
sluice boxes, and workings were car
ried away, these miners losing every
thing.
On the Seventy mile river, Bryant |
and Carlson who have been in the dis- j
trict for many years, lost all their
sluice boxes and both the washing!
and dredging dams were taken out. j
The bridge built by the Alaska j
Road Commission over Nugget creek i
last year, built over 15 reet above the
normal water stage, was swept away,
so great was the raise in the stream.
Axel Johnson, another old timer of
the district, lost all of his cleanup.
The gravel was in the sluice boxes
ready for cleaning when the flood,
backing up into his cut, struck his
line, overturned the boxes, sweeping
away the contents.
The flood waters swept the district
with terrific force. Many of the creek
beds bear evidence of this their chan
nels being cut two to three feet wid
er and deepened. The extreme crest
of the flood waters is marked by
lines of driftwood which now hangs
in trees high above creek level.

CLOSING OflGIO STATION
The local chamber of commerce at
its meeting today took up the ques
tion of the navy department's tempo
rary closing of the local radio station
owing to a shortage of funds. It was
pointed out that the local station was
a great aid to business men, owing to
messages received from incoming
boats; that it was also the only meth
od 01 communication with Anchorage
in case the wire went rrown, and that
business with westward points would
be gieatly hampered in case the sta
tion was shut up for a time.
II was resolved to take the matter
up with the department and also to
asK the aid of the Engineering com
mission to keep the station open, as
Seward business men would be badly
hampered by its temporary shutdown.
The discussion also led to prepara
tion for tourist travel for next year.
Captain Leadbetter of the light
house tender Cedar talked briefly
on the erection of a lighthouse at the
entrance to Resurrection Bay. He
stated that if the building was erect
ed it would be placed on Harwell isl
and, at the extreme point of the bay,
where the visibility would be greater
than at any other point, and where
vessels could approach closely to pick
up the light or fog signals. It was his
opinion that it would require probably
two years before anything could be
done, on account of congressional ac
tion.
Mr. Hendrickson, formerly a pub
shier in Ketchikan, was also a guest
at the luncheon.
"FIGHTING SQUAW OF IROQUOIS”
SAYS RUSSIAN VASSALS NOT
SO BADLY HANDLED
SYRACUSE, N. Y., August 14—Rus
sian serfs, in their most desperate
days under the Czars, would not have
stood the treatment the American In

States government.
So declared Mrs. O. J. Kellogg, of
Green Bay, Wis., the “fighting squaw
of the Iroquois,” while here for a
council of the Six Nations at the On
ondaga Reservation, where stands the
Confederacy “long house.”
“No people have been so systemat
ically depleted by a government as
they,” she said, her black eyes flash
ing. Mrs. Kellogg is a full-blooded
Oneida, who has studied in four uni
versities, traveled two years in Eur
ope, written several books and lectur
ed on Indian matters.
