THE SLEEPING SICKNESS.

Of unnumbcred millions, is threatened

terrible havoc in Uganda.

Uganda on n royal commission TO in

turned to England. and the reports
which he and his colleagues have sent

ciety contain much new and important
information on the nature of the dis.
ease and its alarming and continued
spread.
The disease has now been ravaging
Uganda for four years. and DR.. Low,
who gave some information upon the
question, estimates that 10000 natives
have died of it, the majority Of them
within the last two years. How 1t got
into Uganda cannot be discovered.
Not less than $4,000 natives are now
affected. and the disease Is practically
invariably fatal. Moreover, the disease
Is increasing in virulence in the new
areas.
The sleeping sickness" first mani.
tests itself in slight change in the
mental attitude Of the victim, so slight

1t = very doubtful which race first

Eskimos Of the farthest North are also

Skating is mentioned by the Danish

in the twelfth century young men

order to slide along the ice. This
statement is confirmed by the pair of

A Pcimlnent Argument,

In addition to the financial reimburse,
ment brought by travel TO any locality
Of good roads. it is an unquestlonable
fact that the residents profit largely by
their own ability to get to and from
business centres when other sections
are tied up because Of the impassabll.
ity Of the highways.
The automobile Is here a fixture. 1t
Is no longer an experiment and 1t Is n
permanent argument for road improve
ment. The communities that make the
best OF new conditions are those that
ultimately will profit the most. There
Is no immediate danger that the auto
mobile will crowd the horse or the
road. Both are here to remain indeh.
