NEW AGENCY IS DISCOVERED T0 - PROLONG LIFE Active Principle Controlling Sugar is Isolated By Scientis's New York, Dec, 28.----Achieve- ment of another step toward pro- longing human life has been an nounced to the American Associa- tion for the Advancement of Science, The advancement is a chemical discovery, which furthers the at- tempt of medicine to simplify and possibly make less costly its treat- ment of diabetes and diseases, which depend on control of the sugar in human bodies, The discovery was the isolation of the active principle that controls sugar called a hormone, which is operative in insulin, the recently discovered rer-edy for diabetes, Very Costly Insulin now is made from anl- mal extractions, and chemists wish to learn how to make it syntheti- cally, because the animal extrac- tion is laborious and costly, aud the purity of the product synthetic. ally made can be assured with more ease, Isolation of the hor- mone was necessary before any at- tempt could be made to synthe- size it, Announcement of the {isolation was made by Prof, John J. Abel and Dr, H. Jensen, of Johns Hop- kins, Prof, Abel said: "We belleve this to be the first instance of the isolati-n of a pow- orful specific hormone in the form of a crystalline protein (d' a rela- tively simple composition."

SYMPATHY FOP KING DISPLAYED IN PARIS Judge Gibsons Tells of In- terest Expressed by French Quebec, Dec. 28--Information as to how the people in England and France were taking the illness of His Majesty King George was brought back to Quebec by Judge Gibsone of the Superior Court, who returned to this city just in time for Christmas, after three weeks or so on the other side of the Atlan- tie. "The King's illness had not reached its most serious stage when I was in London, and the people were quietly confident that His Majesty would pull through," stat- ed Judge Gibsone. "It was while I was in Paris that the disquieting news came out and the interest and solicitude of the French people in the King's condition was deeply touching. On the streets the question om every lip was the same. "How is the King this morning," he continued. "In England, of course, anxiety was intense.
