SLEEP MALADY
LINKED TO FLU

Sleeping sickness, the mysterious
malady responsible for the death of
Mrs. Charles b. Timberlake, last
Sunday. is an Independent disease
of infectious origin" according to
conclusions reached by the depart
ment of medical Information of the
league of Red Cross Societies at Ge-
neva, Switzerland.
"Encephalitis lethargica" Is the
real name of the disease, according
to DIR. Thomas r. Brown, of Johns
Hopkins Hospital. Baltimore. chief
OF the department.
1t is found in districts wherein
influenza is prevalent, DIR. Brown
declares. Man, authorities believe
the diseases are related.
DR.. Brown declares that the dis
case is really not a sleeping sick
ness, although a state of somno-
lence or sleepiness develops. Head
aches. fever and a swelling of the
glands follow in line. he says. and
usually the victim dies of weakness
or a secondary infection.
Although the disease, in its clini-
cal features, resembles the African
slice ping sickness caused by sting OF
the tetse fly, DIR. Brown declares
that there is no reason for il to be
called by the same name.

Belgium is already able to export"
Taking all the industries. he

6-HOUR DAY AID
10 LONGEVITY.
Gompers. Says Excessive
Work Creates Poisons
Of Fatigue.

John d. Rockefeller. jr.. told his
Bible class that the six-hour day
would be an aid TO Satan. because
the latter would find work for idle
hands.
Samuel Gompers says that the
inore fresh air. the more recreation
and relaxation. the stronger the
mind becomes to withstand tempta.
rion TO do those things he should
not do.
IL the effects observed upon the
Iaboring man by tho shortening Of
his working day is the work of
Satan, then Satan has certainly
been misrepresented In the past,
says Gompers. =
what Hours Mean.
Work a man IS hours day and
he ,will stand up under IT for about
three years; work him II and he
may be able to stand II for about
six years; a 12-hour day will send a
man to the scrap heap in eight
years: 10-hour day in i2 years; ;
an S-hour day in 35 years. while a
6-hour day would permit him to
work until ripe old age"
Rockefeller's money works for
him "a hours out of the "a, but hu-
man beings cannot do likewise, says
Gompers. without detriment to
mind, morals and body.
Excessive Work s'Poisons.-
Excessive hours of work create
the poison of fatigue. and the aver
age years of life in which the work
er can be effective are decreased and
his life shortened.
When the cigarmakers secured
the eight-hour day the average
years at death of the workers in
that trade were 81. That was in
1886. Now the average death age
is nearly SO. The wives of the cigar
makers are also benefited. Their
average age at death has increased
from 81 to 50.
