Own a Home.

The Chicago real estate board has
decided to launch an effort to encOur-
age home ownership throughout the
city, that Chicago may regain it's title
of "The City of Homes"
The department of labor at Wash
ington is engaged in a national CAM
paign to encourage the construction of
homes for the purpose Of avoiding any
disarrangement Of our business fabric,
because Of the discontinuance of war
work, and to provide employment for
our boys returning from the army.
The idea has been tried with astound-
ing success in many cities. The adj
vantage to the city as whole, from
the standpoint of better citizenship
alone, is so great as to more than JUS
'tify all the efforts that may be ex-
pended. n

twelve successive years. A few hills

Disease Misnamed Sleeping
Sickness" Is Believed to Be
Contagious.
MEDICAL EXPERTS PUZZLED
Health Authorities Declare StraRge
Illness Has No Relation to "Sieep-

mated In Africa.

Washington-"Ep Epidemic stupor" ID
the name the health authorities have
decided to give the new disease.
wrongly called sleeping sickness,
which sprang up few weeks. ago. 1t
has invaded eighteen American cities
and several army camps, has taken
several lives and laid hundreds under
its spell.
The scientific name of this new NAL
ady is lethargic encephalitis. 1t Is
not sleeping sickness and has moth
ing to do with the real sleeping sick
ness. 1t has been known for only q
few years, and its cause and origin
are even more mysterious than those
of the influenza.
The disease, when it was first dis
covered in this country, was found to
be form of sleeping sickness COM
mon in the interior parts of Africa,
but closer observation of the syn.p.
toms proved this belief to be unsound.
Sleeping sickness as found in the jun
giles of Africa, is caused by the bite
of a peculiar insect, known as the
tsetse fly.
The new disease was first observed
In Austria. &C.,.
The first case noted in England oc-
Cured February IL, 1918, and the cpl
demic, which never attained large pro-
portions, came, at least, temporarily,
to an end in June. The medical re-
search committee of England became
deeply interested in the new malady
and instituted clinical and pathology
cal Investigations. The committee
found the disease is a general in
fectious disorder, characterized by
manifestations originating in the cen
trail nervous system, of which the most
frequent and characteristic are pro-
gressiye lethargy or stupor and an iE-
volvement of the nerve centers con-
trolling the eye muscles.
Marked by High Temperature.
Although rise in temperature was
not observed In all of the 164 cases
of the disease of which notes were OBJ
tanned, there seemed to be little doubt
that there is always a certain amount
of fever in an early stage. The fever
usually lasts from two to five days,
but may continue for ten or even four
teen days 1t may fall suddenly or
gradually with oscillation. A period

Things In the Development Of

Better homes make better people
and, therefore, a better nation. Edu-

is the need Of the world.
Centuries ago all the laws necessary
for the good of mankind were summed
up in ten brief clearly stated laws.
Ever since that time the politicians
Of the world have been trying, with
out success, to make better laws.
Laws there are without number, but
not one is an Improvement, not one
is necessary if the original ten We're

The second is "Love thy neighbor
as myself" And in referring to the
first: "On these two commandments
the whole law hangeth."
Get out the Bible and read the first
two and then the other eight.
Rural adornment through gardening
is one way to make better homes.
Give the family an attractive abiding
place-Outside and in. Not wealth
alone can make home. There are
many attractive and beautiful homes
where money is scarce. The memory
of a beautiful home is power for
good as long as one of the family re-

Growing things have a tendency to
elevate ones thoughts and aspirations.
They cause us to think of better liv-
ing and show that really beautiful
things may be ours for little effort.

English and French and the consequent
showing of the German language into
third place in the race, because 1t was
before the war even that the "kultur
crusade" for popularizing Esperanto
and lido and the other artificial Ian
guages started, according to Mieille.
Briefly, 1t is Mieille's idea and the
opinion of other noted French and.
English scholars that the world needs
two languages for it's future welfare
English and French.
While there was lot of speculation
some years ago about finding a univer-
sal tongue, such as Esperanto, we had
as living languages in this world of
ours the two tongues that completely
filled all requirements. There was real
ly no need for inventing a new Ian
guage.
There has been kind of official
adoption of the idea that English and
French shall be the world languages of
the future in the fact that proceedings

This discussion of q world lam

able attention around Paris, reveals
among other things a strange chapter
Of German duplicity and trickery. 1t
now seems certain that the Germans,
knowing the German language was in
adequate as world tongue, tried their
best to get the world to think favora-
bly, of certain "cooked-up" languages
made to order things as 1t were, in or
der to prevent French or English from
being considered as the legitimate
world languages.
These artificial tongues, such as Es-
peranto, which was probably the best
known to them, in America at least,
were fairly numerous and each one
was given some sort of an odd name f
They were called Esperanto, lido, Noyo1
