WARNED TO WATCH FOR
SLEEPING SICKNESS HERE

Warning to keep a sharp lookout for
any cases of sleeping sickness have
been received by pr. E. J. Brophy, city
health officer, from the state board of
health.
So far. said DR.. Brophy Thursday
nothing had developed to indicate any
cases of the disease in Norwich.
There is a sleeping sickness caused
by the bite of the tsetse fly in Africa,
but it is evident that the form of the
disease which is being experienced in
this country is not the genuine Afri-
can fever
There is some question as to whether
the fever is caused by a toxic poison
from Bri9ht's disease, Spanish inf1uen-
"a or some other disease which gener-
ates toxins. The general belief among
physicians, because of it's evident in
fictitious nature, is that the disease is
| caused by germ.
The disease is characterized by a
mental sluggishness or stupor, great
prostration and some paralysis about
| the face 1t is not very fatal, but oft
en- lasts a good many weeks. There
| has been much argument as to whether
it is the result of influenza infection
or a peculiar form of infantile paraly-
| sis, or an entirely new disease.
The most careful English observers
whog have studied the subject believe
! that it is an entirely distinct disease
and has nothing to do with influenza
| While the disease appears to be in
| fictitious, it is very seldom that ONE
| case has been found to follow associa-
| ton with another. The disease is com
mon to adults but rarely is found il
! children No means has yet been dis
| covered for preventing or curing th'
disease.

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair


When you wash your hair, be care
tul what you use. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali which is very injurious as it
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces
You can get this at any drug store
and few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes ar

A burglar or burglars getting in
through a back window of John r.
Bowman's saloon at 118 West Main
street robbed the place of about So in
cash and a bottle of choice whiskey
some time Thursday morning.
The theft was discovered at opening
time, but as Mr.. Bowman did not leave
the place until midnight Thursday it
is known the burglary must have been
committed after that time. There is
no clue.
The money was found in wooden
box in which it is the custom to leave
little loose change every night.
