MeDonough Associated Press Science Writer ROCHESTER, N. Y., Oct. 38. (yp) A new method of treating diabetes with Insulin swallowed .in small tab lets instead .of by injections with a hypodermic needle, was forecast today before the National Academy of Sci ences. Three University of Rochester phy sicians, Dr. John R. Murlln, Dr. Law rence E. Young, and Dr. William A. Phillips, announced that they had successfully treated some human be ings and dogs suffering from diabetes with the new solid preparation. The compound Is composed of in sulin and hexyl-resorclnol, a common antiseptic and fever-reducing drug. The resorclnot acts as an emulslfler to clean f-t from the linings of the stomach and intestines by malting It more soluble In water than it nor mally Is. Method Practical , The University of Rochester exper imenters had previously shown that insulin can be absorbed through the stomach and intestines and then acts In the ordinary way to burn up the excess sugar In the blood which pro duces dl a bete. Presence of fats, acid conditions, and the enzyme pepsin prevented this absorption, however. The next step, now nearing comple tion in testa on human beings, was the addition of the resorclnol to neu tralize the pepsin, produce an alkaline condition, and emulsify the fat In order to clean up the digestive tract for entrance of the Insulin. Trials on the human diabetes suf ferers enable the Rochester men to "state with certainty," Dr. Murlln said, that "Insulin can be absorbed in sufficient amount to produce abrupt changes In blood sugar." Find Digestive Spur The discovery of a new hormone, named Menterocrinih" which Is se creted into the Intestines from the blood to stimulate the production of digestive Juices, was announced be fore the academy by another Roch ester university physician, Dr. E. 8.

WINDOW GLASS We sell window glass and will replace your broken windows reasonably Trowbridge Cab inet Works An original process of manufactur ing down quilts which are warmer, more durable and less likely to slide to the floor, has been perfected by H. Petri of this city, and the supe rior product has attracted wide at tention Including that of the major airltnea in the U. S. A., the aero nautical and WPA survey party from Washington, D. C, which visited Medford Saturday, and Marshall Fields, Chicago, and other large con cerns In leading cities on the west coast. Mr. Petri has applied for a patent on his process and the trade-mark is "Nestle Down." His headquarters are at 314 East Main street. Construction of the quilt differs from that of the ordinary quilt in several ways. Principal difference la the assembly of the top and bottom covprs which are not atltchod to gether. In the conventional quilting manner but ar separated. This pro vides "air-plus-down" Insulation, ef fectively holding the body heat in under the quilt, and also gives great flexibility. The 100 percent goose down used Is contained In special bags to facilitate the "tucklng-ln" feature of the quilt, and also the changing of cover material to har monize with bedroom furnishings, or when the material becomes worn out. This Is an economical advan tage. A fine quality taffeta ln several colors or combination of colors is used to cover the quilts, and all seams are locked and edgea corded. The generous size and resiliency mke It possible to tuck the quilt under the mattress without injury. The quilts are very light, weighing about 4'4 pounds, and are 70 by 84 Inches In size. Three-quarters and baby quilts are nlso made.
