PAQS SIX THE HERALD, MONMOUTH, OREGON THURSDAY, MAttCH 10, 1927 OfltoW and the middle of May. In Summer, Death Valley is the hot test place on earth. During tie Deuth Valley season, you have your comfortable automobiles. By Arthur Brisbane See America This Union Pacific "Gold Coast Limited" is crossing from Wyoming into Utah, rolling over snow cov ered hills 7,0ty feet high. This is real American country. Colorado, Montana, Idaho, the Da kotas, Oregon, Washington, Ne vada are your neighbors in this part of the world. It looks what it is a great and powerful country. Straight walls of stone, capped with pine ' trees, tower hundreds of feet above you. Telephone and telegraph wires cross in all directions. Good auto mobile roads run beside the track. Dentil Valley has every thing that anybody could want you study brilliant colors of the appropriately nanud "Funeral Range" on the east, and to the west the tall pana mints, Uncle Sam's most precipi tous mountain range, rising from the floor of Dottth Valley, more than 300 feet below sea level,. to a height of 11,045 feet to the per petual snow of Telescope Peak. Picturesque and convincing are names of places in that valley, once the bed of an inland sea. Goll, silver, copper, onyx are ia those mountains. Many have died searching. One stops at Salt Lake City to ' get acquainted with the Angel Mo roni and all the land that stretches around him. Moroni, very big in bright gold, stands above the tem ple built by Brigham Young, for "Latter Day Saints." Just across the way is the Fed eral Reserve Bank, of solid stone, and beyond towers the snow cov ered Oquron Range, the wealth of the Utah copper mines hidden in it. Many things are as Brigham Young would have them and as he left them. The Angel Moroni doesnt suspect that the real au thority below is the Federal Re serve Bank, the gigantic copper mine on the mountain sides, and the big Union Pacific Railroad. D. F. Spencer, general passenger agent of the Union Pacific system, says all intelligent human beings should see the famous "Death Val ley." For $42, . covering all ex penses, you can spend two days motoring through the mysterious valley on your way east or west, inspecting in safety the strangest .places on earth, stopping over night at a modern inn, built on Furnace Creek. In Death Valley, you stand on the 'warm sand, far below the level of the Pacific, and look to the west, at the white top of Mount Whitney, highest peak in the Unit ed States. The trip must be made between What once were black molten streams of lava reach out into the desert, as they poured down from volcanoes, dead ages ago. You walk over plains of salt hundred feet deep. Life is scarce there, a few snakes in Summer, horned toads, the chuckwalla lii ard, eaten by the Panamint In dians. Above puzzled vultures soar, wondering why the automobile doesn't die, 3 the donkeys did. Brief and sufficient are the lines here and there on wooden tomb stones, cracked by the heat, a name and "He Ran Out of Water." The Angel Gabriel has watched many struggles in that valley, when the temperature went to 140. Traditions tell of Piute Indians, standing on the mountainsides, watching one party of white men fall and die three hundred yards from a water hole. One survivor, Bennett, "struggling to a soring, fount! a ledge of pure silver, broke off a piece and when he reached civilization had it made into a' rifle sight." Many have tried to locate that . "gun-sight ledge" of pure silver. You might find it Not far away is a beautiful date palm ranch, 178 feet below sea level. Anything will grow if you give it enough water. And across the Amargosa Des ert, you travel to the "Ghost City of Rhyolite." Once it had a popu lation of more than 10,000, rail- road stations, stores, dance halls, jail and church. AH still stand at the foot of Bullfrog Hill, church, jail, mills that ground up ore from the rich goM mine, all abandoned now. This is an interesting eountry, marvelously fertile fields, all the climates and all the products of the earth. Other Americans have pre pared the way for you, See America. DIABETES My object In writing this article Is to so acquaint my reader with the symptoms of the disease, that he will recognize them, and con sult a physician at once; otherwise the diabetes may reach a very dif ficult stage to handle, without ex citing apprehension on the part of the patient. To begin with, diabetes is not a kidney disease, though its first manifestations appear in that quar ter. The patient notices at first, very great over-action of the kid neys, with output as clear as water in the majority of cases; it may reach one, two or three gallons in quantity per day. An inordinate craving for sweets may be noticed; severe constipation is the rule, though not constant many people are constipated without having diabetes. Then, there is a "prog ressive feebleness" the growing weaKer and weaicer, without appar ent r.ui.. once gaj man begin to grow weak "tired-"1, all the time with no exertion to cause it; his limbs ached so much that he fancied he had rheumatism. Asked about his kidneys, he assert ed that "they had never in life acted so well, two gallons or more a day!" This man died within three months of diabetes, the dis ease having advanced too far to be remediable by any means known at that time, about twenty years ago. Whenever this feebleness sets in, and the patient's muscles begin to grow flabby with loss of flesh, and the kidney discharge is increasing rapidly, with constipation and craving for sweets, and for more and more water than is naturally required, it is best to have the physician make an analysis of the renal evacuation, which in health amounts to about fifty ounces a day in the adult. No delay should be countenanced or indulged. The physician of today knows how to handle diabetes, the treatment of, n-h'Vii wr-i-i h nut of place here. 22 X fy UNCLE JOHN In summer evenin's, calm an' still, we used to hear the whippoor will send forth his plaintive note; we heard the twitter of the frog the baying of the old coon-dawg, the gruntin' of the shot . . .
