''GROCERY STORE BANDIT"
MAKES WEEKLY HOLD-UP

PITTSBURGH, July IS. - The
grocery store bandit" who for
several months had robbed at least
one Pittsburgh grocery store each
week, walked into the P. H. Butler
store, in Square Hill, covered the
manager with a pistol, compelled
him to hand over the contents of
the cash register, about $40, and
walked out of the shop.
The police have an excellent
description of the robber, who never
covers his face and always opens
for the money on hand
by passing the time of day with the
manager.

90 Cases in Four DAYS.

New York, March 9.--Twenty-three
cases of encephalitis lethargica, or
sleeping sickness, have been report
ed to the health department since
Monday, or 16 more than were re-
ported in the four preceding days. DR..
Frank j. Monaghan, the new health
commissioner. says the disease is not
highly infectious and the danger of
an epidemic is slight, but he urges CO.
operation to reduce the number of
cases.
Records of sleeping sickness in this
city from January / to yesterday
show $50 cases and 112 deaths. In
this same period year ago there
were "a deaths in so cases. Yester-
days figures did not include nine
cases of sleeping sickness and two
deaths reported to the Brooklyn
branche of the health department.
No Sure Preventative.
Commissioner Monaghan said there
was no specific way to prevent sleep
ing sickness, as it still puzzles physi-
clans. 1t can be transmitted by
coughing, sneezing, splitting and on
eating from utensils he said. He

wet feet, chills, fatigue, etc.
DR.. Louis 1. Harris, director of the
Bureau of Preventable Diseases, said
the health department is waging a
strong campaign to obtain every pos
sible bit of information about sleep
ing sickness and to utilize this data
in stamping it out. A QUESTIONABLE
calling for detailed information is sent
to every physician reporting a new
case. These records are being studied.
A Separate Illness.
Sleeping sickness was recognized as
a separate illness in 1918 at the time
Of the influenza epidemic according
to DR.. Harris. He says the present
scope is the greatest since sleeping
sickness first broke out here. In 1890
there was similar sickness coinci-
dent with influenza, but to lesser
degree. Physicians recognize close
relation between influenza and Sleep

Affects the Brain,


Sleeping sickness symptoms are
caused by an inflammatory condition
of the brain or spinal cord. The
symptoms vary In individual cases.
There are few general symptoms.
These are fever. localized neurolgic
palms. double vision and localized
paralysis, such as paralyzed eyelid
or side Of the face.
There are also nervous symptoms
Of sleeping sickness. but II does not
necessarily begin with a stupor or
somnolence. Occasionally. 1t starts
with marked irritability and extreme
nervousness, though more often with
a stupor.
Affects Vital Organs.
DR.. Harris says the disease causes
severe interference with the vital
functions and results in complete
prostration. Respiration and digestion
are hindered and In severe cases the
patient can take almost no nourish-
ment 1t may last a week, a month
or longer. In some instances delir-
ium develops.
The medical profession is trying to

believe causes the disease. This germ

Washington, d. c., March 9.--The
Eastern Maileabie Iron company. OF
Naugatuck. Conn. with branch In
New Britain. is in no manner incrim-
mated in connection with the indict-
ment OF Carrer +. Rhodes, auditor Of
the bureau of internal revenue, on
charges of soliciting bride from that
company in connection with his Of
fetal duties. Commissioner Of Inter-
nal Revenue David Fl. Blair said to-
day.
Rhodes, who handled the iron COM
pany's account in the income tax bur-
eau. is said to have offered to pre-
vent assessment of some 100000 ad-
ditional income and surplus profits
taxes, in return for money and posi-
ton with the Connecticut firm. The
specific offense with which he is
charged is alleged to have occurred
February II. The indictment re-
turned yesterday includes eight
counts.
In view of reports which were being
circulated with regard to the Eastern
Malleable Iron company, Commission
err Blair said
with reference to the indictment
yesterday of Carrel f. Rhodes audi
tor of the bureau of Internal revenue,
on charges of soliciting a bride in
connection with his official duties, the
Indictment was returned on evidence
presented by the taxpayer in the case.
At the very beginning of the nego-
tiations by Mr.. Rhodes with the tax
payer it notified the commissioner.
and from that time on had given COM
plete cooperation to the officials of
the department.
The intimation that the Eastern
Malleable Iron company sought to
defraud the government is not only
but is absolutely untrue.
The conduct of the company and its
cooperation with the bureau are
most commendable."

general way, and know little speci-
fically. The temperance forces must
be wide awake to keep the bars from
being opened to weakening Of liquor
enfotcement laws. The prohibition
laws will not be directly attacked.
The line OF procedure Of all the en-
emles Of temperance, Is to weaken
The enforcement Law, that violations
will be 30 flanrant and 80 difficult Of
conviction that the people will des-
pair Of success and quit In disgust
and agree to further modification.
All that temperance people need
to do IL to use their memory. For
years they attempted to regulate tho
liquor business. only to have It grow
worse and worse. II Is not a busi-
mesa that grows better. It naturally
gravitates to evil.
What Is the spectacle today. Lii

to smuggle liquor into this country.
They are armed invaders OF our soil.
