CURE DREAD DISEASE
Scientists conquer African Sleeping
Sickness for the First Time.

New York, March 30.-Medical sci
ence has conquered sleeping sick
ness the dread African disease
caused by the bite of the tsetse fly.
DR.. A. c. Perveil, who developed the
disease at his Brooklyn home after re-
turning from Africa, is almost well
again after nearly a year and half
of invalidism. He is able to walk
practically alone.
Doctor Perveil sits up every day
now and spends the greater part of his
time in a chair by a sunny window
reading and receiving friends. He
walks with someone by his side to
steady him by the arm. The trouble
is that he has been bedridden so long
that he has to learn all over again. He
is absolutely normal, never showing
the drowsy symptoms of few months
ago and his mind is bright and clear.
His recovery is the first on record

Il writ for the seizure of all liquors

dence at 626 Buchanan was set on fire
early yesterday morning An alarm
was sent in and the firemen made a

Manhattan, Kan, March 3O.-Com-
munity cooperation in housekeeping
is profitable practice, in the opinion
of Miss Frances L. Brown, director of
home economics, division of extension,
agricultural college.
THE housekeepers of a commun-

as a club to buy good vacuum
cleaner, each family using it a certain
time each month. The equipment of
a simple laundry may be purchased.
This laundry should be open to all
members of the club at some time.
The machine and wringer may be
operated by water power although this
method is not always satisfactory.
Equipment for a modern laundry is
comparatively inexpensive if purchas-

boy came trudging into Columbus,
clinging to his fathers hand. Both
were at the point of exhaustion and
Jim was being fairly dragged over the
last leg of the journey.

cracked and purple; his nostrils
fringed with alkali dust.

boy fell limp in the sand and tipped a
canteen to his lips.
