Is there any connection between
sleeping. sickness and influenza?
An interesting investigation is b.e-
ing'carried on a present by the Un-
ited States Public Health Service to
try and establish this point. The"..in-
vestigation was prompted by the fact
that a large percentage of the recent
cases 'of sleeping sickness followed
influenza,
'""yrill,4y��,,peof sleeping sickness that
we reader much about on this con-
tinent app -to have a different
causative agent fztrtrn ,that of the
sleeping sickness of the ,tropic -s: ' >��•
Uganda, ,Central Africa, for instance,
there are large tracts of country now
practically deserted where =once there
was a teeming population, the ravages
being caused by anorganism in the
blood due to a bite .from - the tsetse
fly, which conveys the disease from
the sick to the healthy. No other bit-
ing flies, 'as far as- is known, convey
this disease, and the. tsetse not -being
found at' any rate in the -'temperate
regions of- this continent, cannot be
held -responsible for the disease, 'which
is comparatively prevalent here. This
Is why some confusion results from
the use of the term sleeping sickness,.
in both cases, due 'no doubt to the
similarity of the symptoms.
Officials of the Public Health Ser-
vice admit thatthere is little known
so far. concerning .this sleeping sick-
ness or encephalitis lethargica, as the
disease is called in medical circles,
but officials are of the 'opinion that.
reports concerning its prevalence have
been magnified. Surgeon General
Cumming in this regard points out
that the disease is rather easy to con-
fuse with some other diseases. In an
investigation made during the 1918-
``1919 epidemic, twenty-two per cent.
lof the supposed cases had to be ex -
!eluded as being really cerebro; spinal
'meningitis, brain abscess, acute alco-
&holism and other diseases.
I The disease appears to be only rare-
ly cothin tnicable, Not a single sec
ondary case is known to have occurred
in the immediate families of the pa-
tients ieported in 1918-1919, although
some nine hundred persons were ex-
posed. ` The fatality is rather high.
(31 ---tie one hundred and fifty-nine

deaths. It is interesting o n99te,,;.that'
the peak of the outbreak of 1918-191
was reached in New York City in
January, in . Virginia in February,
and an Louisiana, Texas and f11inois
in March. Whether this progress was
related to the season of the year or
was merely` a result of the spread of
the disease, is not • known" The dis
-ease ,is slow,in, developing and long
in ,duration. the period of -Conval-
escence is variable; in some cases re-
covery is completed within two weeks
after the subsidence of the,` acute
seanptoms,' but in, others it is pro-
longed and leaves its record on the
1.mind, on certain muscles and on the
nerves of the cranium. -
There has been-niuch study given to
`this subject in recent months but so
far nothing has been found out as to
the relationship •; between 'influenza
and sleeping sickness. The most re -
1 cent investigation which is now under
1 way will, it is hoped, shed some light
on this very important problem.
PMN AFTER EATING
Proof That the Stomach is Weak
and Needs Toning Up.
Generally sq Baking, a porson In good
health can digest ,most roods., If not,
and there is. pain after eating, " the
stomach has lost tone and is too weak
to do its work. In that case your stom-
ach needs strengthening and the way
to do this Is to build up your blood
with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills,
There cannot be good digestion with-
out a sufficient supply ',of good red
blood, and there is nothing better than
Dr. Williams', Pink Piids to'renew and
enrich the blood. That iso why tlfey
have proved.so successful in thousands
of cases , of indigestion. iMr. D. J.
Shaw,, Selkirk Road,P.E.L, has proved
the value of Dr. Wi1lialiisr Pink Pills
in a severe case of indigestion and re-
lates his experience for the benefit of
other sufferers,. He says:—"I suffered
from indigestion fora number of years.
My case was so bad that words fail to
describe it. My appetite was gone,.
constipation was present, and my
nerves were all on edge. I could not
sleep well at night, and the world Was
a
dark spat to me. I tried a number
of remedies,, but without any benefit.
Then Er. Williams' Pink Pills were re-
commended, but without" much faith,
after so many failures, 1 decided Id try
them. After taking three boxes T no-
ticed "a change for the better. Then
I got three boxes more, and, found r
had a•' genuine remedy. I " continued
the treatment, took moderate e:terciae,
could take good plain food without sut-
fering as Iortilerly, ,and Proved that
tlieee pills snake good blood, and that
this good blood will -restore the stom-
ach and nerves', • Anyone -.suffering
from stomach or nerve troubles will
malto no mistake in giving Dr, Win
name' Pink Pills a lair trial."

Forest Fire Fighting in

In Sweden every man 'knows how
disastrous forest -fires are to his coun-
try, and by reason of his great love for
ills Iroameland, it is;' not necessary to
compel any man by la}v to fight a fire.
Whenever there is a .report of a fire,
fortlevvith every farmer In the neigh-
borhood. leaves his, work and offers his
services to fight the plague, and if the
]ocal ranger finds that he is not able
to put out the fire with the men at his

The Afternoon ‘Tea Rite.
Mr. Gordon Selfridge, .the Chicago.
merchant who invaded and conquered
London, is revisiting the United States,
and touches on . some piquant con-
trasts .between his native and adopted
Countries. He has the advantage of a,
double standard of comparison, of see-
ing the British through American eyes. •
Tb an interviewer he lays amusing
emphasis on an English" social rite, af-
ternoon tea, which is the subject of
ni.ild derision on the part of, visitors
tonthe tight little island—until they
succumb to it. Mr.1f
Selfridge iid� e Chinks
that if Americans would similarly re-
lax in .the middle of the afternoon's
work' they wopld gain a poise and
calm they really need and lose none of
their famous "pep," When he opened
hels departmental store on Oxford
Street thirteen years ago it was the
custom of his salespeople to snatch
tea as best theycouid. instead of dis-
couraging it he accepted it as a na-
tional institution, and gave a tea Inter-
val to each of his 3,000 employees, and
"since everybody else in the country
does it, no time or business was lost."
Ile is quoted further:
"Tea is brought around at matinees
and movies; on railway trains and
boats. Lords .and commoners pause
for it in parliament. Yen .cannot en-
ter any office,,- editorial den, public.
library, factory or shop in Great Bre.
tain between four or five without
stumbling over cups and tea things.
lr. Selfridge confessed that, person-
ally, he ciii- 1'ti rcii,but he likes
what it stands for --a friend11"y`_ , ting
together, a relaxing pause in the day's•
work, a slowing down of the Ameri-
can's relentless push, not to ea point
of becoming Less active, but more bal-
anced. The American has' a break-
down at 50, he added, but the English-
man was swinging a wicked golf club
att G 5. u
Afternoon tea ha's become a social
function on tills".side of the Atlantic,
but it has not seriously penetrated the
market place. ..`after all, it is not the
tea hour that gives the Briton poise
and calm. It is. merely one expression
of his unhurried habits and ways of
living and of looking- at life. Before
work -slows down in offices, factories
and shops on .this continent • in the
presence of the teacups, there will
have to be a radical change in the
mental as Well as the physical habits
of the business community.
