REPORT CASES Of
SLEEPING SICKNESS
MALADY APPEARS IN CITIES
MINNEAPOLIS is AFFLICTED
RESULTS FROM FLU

New York, March 26.-Cases of
sleeping sickness, the new malady
which is believed to be an aftermath
of influenza, are scattered widely
over the country, but not in alarm
numbers, according to figures gath
cred today by the United Press.
Twenty-one deaths have occurred.
More than 100 actual cases have
been listed in seventeen cities, but
there are believed to be many as yet
unreported.
Cleveland and Springfield, ILL.,, each
reported 25 cases. New York has 40.
Chicago's exact number is unknown,
the health authorities not making it
public. Other points showing a
"trace" Of the malady are Rich
mond, Va; San Francisco; Fort
Worth; Columet, Mich; Minneapolis; !;
Des Moines; Los Angeles; Lancaster,
Ohio; Boston; Harrisburg, Albany
and Pittsburgh.
In this disease the sufferer lapses
inta a state of coma. In many in
stances recovery is complete. Some
have been known to sleep from eight
to ten days and then "come to life"
in good health. A number of COM
munities are considerig taking pre-
cautions similar to those taken
against spread of Spanish influenza.
What 1t Is
Chicago, March 26.-Here is Cook
county hospital fxe persons lie sus-
pended at the brink Of death. Some
of them had been in state of coma
for days. Doctors and nurses could
do little but shake the patients out
of trance-like stupor and admins
ter medicines, and liquid food, neith-
er of which patients seemed to know
they were taking.
They were victims Of lethaEgic en-
cephalitis, the new disease which has
appeared in widely scattered portions
of the United States first in Chi
cago, where now hundreds of physi-
clans are watching every i'll person
for signs Of what has been called
"sleep-death."
DR.. John Dill Robertson, Chicago
health commissioner, has begun a
systematic campaign to find out what
causes the new disease and how best
it may be treated.
Most Patients Have Recovered
Two deaths, both children, have
been reported here. Other patients
have recovered, some after remaining
in stupor for days.
Encephalitis attacks both young
and aged; negro and white, rich and
poor; the we'll nourished and the un-
derfed alike fall into the sleep which
isn't sleep.
It is slightly contagious, some doc
tors insist, while Others say there is
no tanger of contagion.
Face of Afflicted is Wax-Like
The encephalitis patient had been
in a stupor for several days. She
lay still as death, her breathing
scarcely perceptible. Her face was
wax-like. I have seen faces from
which life had fled, and I was re-
minded of them as l watched the
nurse waken the patient from her
stupor to give medicine.

All kindsrgartsns have one char

many little children are gathered to-

and obedience to these laws.
In the ideal kindergarten these
laws are more feelings than facts
The children grow to respect and

are 4 and years old, they can bs

LOST through lie.
( The kindergarten is the most dem.
ocratic Of institutions. The children
feel no class distinctions-in fact,
there are none in the world Of the
three-year-old. My Philip plays as
joyfully with the little fellow in the
servant quarters next door a. he
does with the son of my best friend.
The pubic school kindergarten is par
ticularly interesting, because all class
es mix, freely and are ntirely free
from sef-consciousness. Each little
individuaD contributes his personal
traits toward the making of tie
whole. a fault may serve as great
purpose as Z virtue, and both may
serve as mirrors wherein the child
sees himself. Under the guidance Of
the kindergarten he will see wisely.
Moreover, the children soon learn
to love the calm of the kindergarten
room, and come readily under the in
fluence of the ruling spirit-.the de-
nial of self for the good of the whole.
In your own garden, the back yard,
there cannot be the close supervision
that there is in the kindergarten. and
elimination sometimes becomes a ne
cessity. If you are fortunate enough
to live among your own kind, where
all the children in your neighborhood
are reared similarly, you will prob
ably not have any serious problem.
But if you live in a cosmopolitan
neighborhood and there is an older
child with avowedly wrong tenden-
cies, the safest step is to encourage
him to seek his older playmates.

If the child comes to your gate who
has had less of a chance than your
own little ones, it is surely privi-
lege to take him in, for he will soon
begin to thrive under the new in
fluences: If you have much spare
time, take in as many children as
you can. Supervise them closely,
and rather than let wilful weeds
grow among your flowers, eliminate.
Be one of the playmates yourself
as often as possible. Join the little
group in the yard for few glorious
minutes, and you will come back 10
your housework completely rested. A
whistle from mother for a moving
train is such a surprise, or an unex-
pected laugh over the tumbling blocks

For several minutes she shook the
sleeper, talking to her the while, She
did not answer.
Finally her eyes opened, but she
said not . word. A twitching muscle
was noticeable. That ended when the
nurse allowed the sick woman to lay
back her head upon the pillow and
resume her sleep.
Medicine given her, the doctor in
formed me was bitter, but the patient
allowed it to trickle down her throat
as she would have so much tastless
water. It was the same with food,
the nurse explained; evidently the
taste nerves are silenced.
"She had influenza last fall," the
doctor said. "This followed"
"What is this new disease, doctor?"
I asked.
"Go and see DR.. Peter Bassoe," he
suggested. CDR. Bassoe knows more
about it than any other American
physician. He has written book on
nervous and mental diseases in which
this new disease is exactly defined"
DR.. Bassoe is professor of nervous
and mental diseases at Rush Medical
college. - @
Diagnosed as Acute Nervous
......s-... Disease u...
"Encephalitis," DR.. Bassoe told me,
"is an acute nervous disease. 1t af-
fects both sexes, all ages and colors.
It is not contagious, and is not al
ways fatal. Most cases recover. The
illness may last a few days, and in
stances are known where patients
were in a stupor for two months"
"Don't mistake it for the so-called
sleeping sickness of Africa. 1t is not
not caused by the bite of the tsetse
fly. There is world of difference.
"Encephalitis follows influenza. It
is winter and spring disease, and
will probably affect one in ten thou
sand persons who had influenza. 1t
may attack those who had light at
tacks of influenza as we'll as those
more seriously i'll. 1t followed inAu-
enza here 1S years ago, but was d.
agnosed as form of meningitis. In
Europe then it was called 'mona,' and
there followed influenza epidemics.
Named in 1917 by Won Economo
"Under the name 'encephalitis' the
disease has been known only since
early in 1917, when it appeared in
Vienna, and the celebrated Austrian
physician Won Economo, coined the
name 'encephalitis lethargica,' hav-
ing been impressed by the promin-
ence of lethargy in the cases. A SIM
liar epidemic occurred in England
and France in the following year,
starting in midwinter and ending in
late spring. The death rate was
highest in England, IS per cent; and
lowest in Austria, less than five per
