Address hied at Breadline HOUR.% Seed* Crescent, Toronto. 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.

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.

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.
