K1RKsVIILE. Mo, March 1S.-Mrs.
Martin Mauer. OF Minneapolis. Kan.
who has been sleeping since September
s. and who Is being treated at a hos
pital, Is slowly improving, and Il Is
believed that she win ultimately re-
cover.
Her case is considered one Of the
strangest in medical history, and was
at first thought 10 be what Is known
as tryanosamotosis, or sleeping sick
ness" a tropical disease. The peculiar
beginning OF the dtupor and the diff
ferent complications that have since
become apparent, dispute this theory.
Since her sleep began Mrs Mauer, who
was a frail woman OF 122 pounds, has
gained In weight until she now weighs
214 pounds.
The sleep began with the death OF
her 2-weak-old baby. She was almost
frantic with grief when the child died,
and could be consoled only for brief
periods. when she would become pos
sessed with the idea that the infant
was only sleeping.
She slept continuously for six days
and nights when first attacked by the
malady, II being impossible to arouse
her until by chance sho was carried
into the room where her baby died. In
a short time she awakened. walked
over TO the baby's cradle and said;
Baby Is sleeping. BE quiet"
She then returned TO her bed and
fell asleep again Every few hours
she repeated this until finally the FAM
lily persuaded her 70 take nourlshment
during one OF her waking spells. This
voluntary waking lasted only a few
days. and since then she has slept con-
tinuously except as they would arouse
her to eat her meals, at which time she
would speak only TO the imaginary

CRANBERRY HINTS.
The Least Understood and oftenest
Abused Domestic Fruit.

Abused Domestic Fruit.
The cranberry Is the least under
stood and the most abused Of any Of
our domestic fruits. Comparatively
few know its possibilities. Quite as
few know how to prepare 1t in palata-
BILE form. The expression is common,
"You need barrel of sugar for a
barrel OF cranberries." This is not true
1t is not a sugar consumer compared
with most fruits.
If users will make the test they will
discover that more sauce with less
sugar proportionately can be made
from a quart of cranberries than from
a quart of any other kind of berry and
IL properly made will be tempting and
toothsome. A barrel of sugar will
sweeten more than three barrels of
cranberries. A cranberry shortcake
will compare favorably with a straw
berry shortcake. Eaten raw. they are
a laxative and liver tonic. and, like the
olive. one can cultivate a fondness for
them.
Cranberrles are keepers. like the ap-
pie, and, like apples, require a cool,
dry place. 1t is economy to buy good
berries. Never cook in tin or iron
ware. Use porcelain. earthenware or
granite. Do not cover with cold water
and allow to simmer. steep and stew
over slow fire. This makes tough
skins, pale, sickly pink or dark. dull
red color and gives acrid flavor, Use
boiling water. cook rapidly and not
long.
For good sauce. to one quart of
clean cranberries add one pint granu-
lated sugar, one pint of boiling water.
Place Immediately over brisk fire.
stirring enough to mix sugar with wa
ter and coat berries. Cover as soon
as berries begin to swell and pop.
Stand by and mash until every berry
is broken. Keep them boiling during
this operation. BY the time berries
are all mashed or have boiled fifteen
minutes remove from stove and turn
into china or earthen ware dish. When
cold the result should be a beautiful
rich red. iellied sauce.
