DeMarce, who U here with his family from South Da kota, visiting his brother, was a caller at this office Saturday. He says he wouldn't live anywhere else than In South Dakota and that the chances there are Just as good as elsewhere.

Editorial Correspondence STONINGTON, Conn., Aug. and there is a touch of fall in the air. A rain laden sou'easter over the week-end, cleared the muggy atmosphere, the sun is shining brightly in a clear, blue weeks vacation for a couple of choly task of bidding them farewell was enacted at the little Stonington station last night, a brave show of merriment and good cheer was attempted, but it wasn't very convincing, and the trek back to a cold Sunday supper was decidedly funereal. The young people left behind, have a week or two left, before they have to pack up and return to school, but the fact that summer is over can't be denied, and today it hangs heavily over the entire community, for when all is said and done sum mer for youth, is the gayest and happiest time of the year. ..... Your correspondent has a strong suspicion these colonial furniture auction sales are a well organized racket. The older girls don't think so, and we wouldn't dare suggest such a thing outloud, if we were not reasonably sure, we WOULD be two thousand miles nearer the Pacific ocean, when the copy of the M. T. containing this statement, finally reaches the Stonington P. 0. We have enough to bear as it is without taking on the New England association of auctioneers, and their loyal and satisfied clients. Moreover we have no 'evidence to sustain such an indictment. It's just a hunch. And while any member of the deadlier sex has a perfect right to play a hunch, backed up by table stakes, no mere man better try it, if he values what is left of his epidermis and his amour prope. Oh, yes, we know some of them are held in grange halls, and the glib, wise-cracking auctioneer, has a fine line of tnlk about the articles coming from the old family homestead in Vermont, heirlooms of priceless value, which must bo turned into cash to keep tho wolf from the door, and of course look at. the bargains the older girls get, a painted tin tray going for $5 when it would cost $15 on Madison Avenue in New York yes we know all that nevertheless auctioneering business is a racket, and only proves for the steenth time, that old P. T, Bnrnum of Bridgeport, Connecticut was right. For every real bargain that is secured we maintain there are a hundred large sized insatiable feminine gambling'instinct and if men are allowed to play slot machines in their clubs, why shouldn't tho Indies be allowed to attend auction sales in the grange hulls of New England. Why nott Tho only answer to that is they will anyway, until in tho course of time, both rackets play out. And the older gals do enjoy it so much, it would be a shame to have a cold-blooded appraisal of the value of the articles and spoil their sport. There was Mrs. B over at Mystic on Saturday for example. The auctioneer was offering a couple of colonial salts and peppers, which came from the old Wolcott mansion in Massa chusetts. Just as they reached $7.50 the boys at the other end of the platform were unrolling a colorful and very antique hook rug, for tho edification of certain prospective customers. "Seven fifity, seven fifity, do I hear eight" shouted the auc tioneer, Mrs. B looked up from her knitting and murmured "eight." . "Sold for eight the lndy in the rear sold for eight." One of the boys promptly transported the salts and peppers to Mrs. B who agnin looked up from her knitting, looked at the purchase, cast a frightened glance in the direction of the plat form and cried "Oh I thought I was bidding on the hooked nig!" Too latel A sale's a sale. And what a joke on Mrs. B, material for a nice little story on mama for ten or fifteen years at least. Then there was Mrs. C who with her kindly and economic roynlistio aunt had looked over the articles before the auction started. Mrs. C just adored a certain bowl small, cheap and oh, very, very antique Tho bowl finally enmo up nnd Mrs. C who had become separated from nimly bid $2 as a start. Some one else bid $2.50, "Three dollars" chirped Mrs. C. The same someone else made it $3.50. "Three-fifty, three-fifty, three fifty, going for thrco-fifty, do I hear $J" Mrs. C hesitated, should she or shouldn't she it that, yet she thought sho would be able to get it for less, but her fighting spirit had been aroused, she had started something why not finish it, "4" Four dollars sold for four dollars, to Mrs C. When Mrs 0 and aunty met later, aunty remarked she tried to get that howl for her darling niece, but she simply refused to pay more than $3.50 for it. Tableaux! Aunty, dear old soul, had been bidding against nieeey, and forced her to pay $J for something she could have gotten for not more than $2.50, if aunty had just kept out of it. If this sounds a trifle phoney you have never attended one of these New England auction sales. . Even strnnger things might be related, but enough perhaps so you can see the point. Racket or no racket it is SUCH FUN! And they serve luncheon very cheap, and one can knit and talk v talk, and if you don't like what you have conflict, well you can put it up at the next auction and not lose more than 20 or 25 percent ! What is a loss of 20 or 25 percent when George, the old hypocrite, at the country club put another $3 in the slot machine without cashiug in a cent! "A-al right, A-a-al right", but girls will bo girls and boys will be boys, but this colonial auction business IS a racket ! R. W. R. AHA PLACED DAVIS, C al . ( UP ) Weeds cost the United States an annual loss of 1.1,000.000,000, according to Dr. W. W. Rcbblns, botany professor at the agricultural college of the University California, who is planning a nation-wide campaign against them. Dr. Robblrui estimates that Califor nia Is the greatest state sufferer from weeds, where the annual loss I placed at 10. 000. 000. "The damage from weeds is so much greater than people reallre." he says, "that concerted action to control various weed pests Is hard to ootaln. The preparation of many products of the soil for human con sumption involves the elimination of weeds or thetr effects. "Weeds also cause dsmase In many other ways. They compete seriously with crops for plant food moisture and light: they Increase the cost of pieparlng many crop for consump tion; they Impair the quality and wduee the value of many prodicta of the soli: they harbor Insects and fungus pests destructive or Injurious 31. This is the last of August sky. Yesterday ended a two young Indies, and the melan we stick to our thesis, this gyps back ot it all is tlie was certninlv worth more than she cried. ' purchased in the heat of the yesterday cninc in $3 down and to economic plants: and they are sometimes so poisonous as to endan ger the life or health of man and animals," he declares.

Address Dr. William ilrudy, 265 El Camlno, Beverly Illlls, Calif. DIABETES AND ALCOHOL Some time ago my husband wrote to you about his diabetes. He was very grateful for your reply. He has ureat respect for your views . . '. Prom now on, though, he will not think so much of my views. Seldom knew It to fall . . would you please tell me what effect drinking has on any one with dia betes. My hus band lives up to the doctor's or ders and Is very faithful In every thing relating to diet and Insulin treatment, but thinks whiskey Is good for him, although he doesn't take any beer on account of the sugar In It. I fear he la drinking too much. One or two drinks may be all right, but he takes much more than that. I am sure he will follow your advice. (Mrs. D. W.) Formerly, In the "starvation" or fasting treatment, from one to two ounces of whiskey, brandy, rum or gin were sometimes prescribed to fur lnsh some calories (about 200 calo ries in the burning of the alcohol and two ounces of one of the liquors named), but the prnctlce was dis carded when It was found that alco hol produces a return of sugar In the urine when taken In quantities ex cccdlng the patient's caloric toler ance. For good reasons, physicians skilled In the management of diabetes sel dom prescribe or permit the patient to take alcohol. It Is likely to bring on protracted alcoholic neuritis. Pa tients with such a chronic disease am likely to contract a dangerous habit. If a dlbnetea patient who hap pens to have taken a drink or two suffers either Insulin shock or diabetic coma bystanders arc likely to mis take his condition for Intoxication which might mean fatal neglect. Fin ally. In everyday practice It seems that patients get along best without alcohol. Now, Madam, before your husband dismisses me as his long distance ! health advisor, let me offer & sug- I gestlon which can do no harm and may do much good. Numerous in vestigators hnvo found that on ade quate ration of vitamin B promotes carbohydrate metnbolism. Vitamin B may bo fairly called "poor man's In sulin," That Is to say, a liberal dally intake of vitamin B has an ef fect comparable with that of a few units of insulin.

Driving down tho avenue late In a mistral, this vagary: There's no sickly blob of light on a lonely street so enchanting ns those found only In a London fog. No wonder we get so much gripping realism out of English literature. No man can walk a Lon don street at such a time without imagination Jump'ng the gun. It happens that I live in the co operative spire t Mre Southern ano Marlowe once had an apartment. In fact. It ' only twe floors away.

Of course most If not all natural sources of vitamin B contain more or less starch or sugar, and anything of the sort the diabetes patient takes must be carefully computed In the diet, and so the attending physician should advise how best to get vita min B or approve the form in which the patient purposes to take it. , Vitamin B Is rather beneficial to the heart muscle and to the muscle of the alimentary tract, and an ade quate dally Intake tends to maintain good 'circulation and vigorous diges tion. Pure wheat germ is the richest known source of vitamin B, contain ing about 18 units to the gram or 354 to the ounce. But wheat germ contains about 40 per cent carbohy drate.
