SLEEPING SICKNESS

Red Wing Eagle:-The mysterious
disease so named first appeared in this
country in the winter of 19l8-1919 and
is believed to have been brought from
Europe where cases developed As early
as 1916. But not until this winter did
the plague spread to any extent. Be-
tween January l and February 10 of
this year 81 cases were reported in
this country, and IS of these have re-
suited fatally. The cities reporting
cases and their number are as follows:
New York, 1877; Chicago, 120; Boston,
20; Detroit, "a; Cleveland, IS; Scran-
ton, 20; Springfield, Mass, 10; Balti-
more, 10. Up to February Is, the 4Sth
death had been reported in New York,
but the local health authorities were
said to be coping successfully with the
malady and to expect decrease rather
than increase in the number of cases.
1t is important as we'll as interesting
to learn that sleeping sickness Gotten
starts with bad cold,' is not likely to
have serious results '|unless persons
neglect to take the usual precautions
against colds,' and that ''prompt'
treatment checks its progress. 1t is also
well to know that in the cities where
the disease is prevalent, the physicians
urge all possible preventive measures.
Citizens are advised to avoid persons
suffering from colds, to stay in the open
air as much as possible, to dress warm
ly, and to mingle in crowds no more
than necessary. Washing the hands and
mouth in disinfectants after being in
crowd is also recommended. It is graf
flying to hear that physicians are not
greatly alarmed because "the disease
can be prevented by the simplest means
and is not contagious in the ordinary
sense -

Virtually All Laws Passed During
War Withdrawn With Excep-

Resolution Passes Senate Without Re-.
cord Vote and Is Sent to Confer
ence-Liberty Bond Law One
Of Several Exempted.

Washington-The House resolution
providing for general repeal of war
time laws was adopted by the Senate
and sent to conference. Virtually all
laws passed during the war would be
repealed by the resolution except q
few given special exemption, including
the trading with the enemy act, the
Liberty bond act, and the act creating
the was finance corporation.
Among the laws which the legisla.
ton would repeal, are the Lever food
and fuel acts, parts of, which were de.
clared unconstitutional by the Su.
preme Court. The Senate judiciary
committee had recommended that the
Lever law stand, but the Senate &C.
copied an amendment !. by Senator
Reed, Democrat Of Missouri. including
the food and fuel law among those to
be repealed. &c.,.
The Senate also. adopted a resolu-
ton by Senator Walsh, Democrat Of
Montana, providing that. prosecutions
brought under the laws, which the
resolution would repeal, should not
be affected by the repeal.
The resolution passed the Senate in
less than half hour, while the naval
appropriation bill was laid aside tenn
porarily. There was no record vote
and no debate except that on Senator
Reeds amendment to strike down the
Lever law.
1917 "spy Act'' Restored.
In addition to the trading with the
enemy, Liberty bond and other laws
which are exempted from repeal, the
resolution would restore sthe original
espionage act Of 1917, repeating the
amendatory statute of 1917. The lat
ter was regarded as much more strin-
gent than the original act.
Another provision of the resolution
declares that it shall not operate to
prevent prosecutions of army or navy
deserters or persons charged with
violating the selective service law.
