ness thus appeared to be of relatively
simple solution. There were two as
poets to the case-flrst the infection
OF human beings by the fly, and, sec
ondly the infection of the fly from
infected human beings.
It was considered, therefore, that
the disease could be stayed If, first
the chances Of exposure to the fly
were diminished, and, secondly, II the
fly were prevented from being infect.
ed by removing the sick from the fly
area. An elaborate experiment Of this
kind was made on the northern shore
Of Lake Victoria. Along the whole
lake shore, from Buddhu TO the Ripon
Falls, the natives were removed, the
sick were segregated into camps, the
holdings were evacuated and burnt,
and the banana plantations were al
lowed to go to waste. The willing CO.
operation of the chiefs in this tre-
mendous task is a complete proof OF
the extraordinary hold the disease has
got on the native population.
In the segregation camps to which
the sick had been conveyed various
remedies sent out from Europe were
tried, but with little success. It is
conceded on all hands that the patient
with definite evidence of sleeping
sickness upon him is doomed. The
clearing of the lake shore was made
on the basis of the view that the
tsetse fly does not remain infective
for a long period, and It was hoped
that when the infective period was
over the shores of the lake could
again be populated. Recent advances
have shown, however, that this hone
is not to be realized, and that, indeed.

Koch, went out and studied the dis

1908 Kleine made the important dis

of an infected man could remain in

faltered and died out.
Jim plunged forward in gloomy ST.

AS Jessie quickened her steps to
keep pace with those of her silent
companion, she heartily wished that
she had not permitted Jim to see her
home. She might have known what
would happen This made the third
time Jim had proposed to her, and it
was very hard for her to keep on
refusing.
The two young people were SO alb
sorbed by their own unhappy
thoughts that they failed to notice the
fast gathering clouds, which made It
much darker than the hour warrant

"Oh, Jim, I do believe it's going

COST OF BEING SUCCESSFUL
Does the Average American Business

Judging the American hustler
from my observations Of him in his
own country" Joseph Lyons, painter,
novelist, dramatist and one of the
greatest hustlers of England, said, II
should say that the American hustler
shows a lack of adaptation of means
to end, because he puts more mental,
physical and nervous energy into his
work at all times than 1t demands.
