SPECIAL STUDY
 IS MADE OF
 DEAD DISEASE

Washington = Sleeping sickness the disease which is baffling medical science and which appears to be in creasing in the United States-has been made the. subject of special study by the United States public day.
 Dr. H. R. Smith has devoted many weeks to research work in an attempt to define the strang malady and it's causes but the report which he will submit to the surgeon general within few days will declare that the disease is still a mystery. The study which has been made, however, has developed the following fairly well established facts: Sleeping sickness is apparently
 neither infectious or contagious In some cases the disease appear in a majority of cases after recovery from l influenza.
 In females the disease does not J enza.
 Distinguishing symptoms are dropping eyelids, blurred vision and 1 loss of strength.
 1 The study is based upon report of 15o cases of sleeping sickness in the
 ed to the Public Health Service. Of
 these 46 per cent. of the afflicted per- sons had been the victims of inf1u- enza at an earlier date. Seventy per cent. of the males af-
 ficted with sleeping sickness were
 former flu patients, while only 2s | per cent of the females had been l sufferers from flu.
 Monkeys were subjected to serum tests. in an effort to isolate the germ causing the disease but all expert
 ments drought nesatiye results.

Notice About Fur
 niture

In these days of ad- vertised discounts on furniture and while there Is so much talk of mark-downs,we be- lieve 1t to be good judgment to state our policy regarding fur niture. Many people are governed by dis counts and cut prices rather than values. Wise buyers consider first the quality of an article and the high est grade goods are the cheapest in the long run.
 Soon the annual spring renovating pc 1iod will begin and every household will have its own special activities. We make t h 1 S announcement. We have gone over the furniture stock carefully and have made further reduc- tions on all goods re- ceived before the first of the year. These prices are now at a level lower than to- days replacement prices.
 Those desiring good furniture should he governed by the act ual value of a piece rather t h an t h e amount of discount received.
 Are you buying values or discounts |?
