ONE CAUSE FOR SLEEPING
SICKNESS

EOR a number of years past the
newspapers have occasionally re-
ported either epidemics of sleeping
sickness" or individual cases in which
a patient has slept continuously or
almost continuously for days or even
weeks at time The average reader
has probably connected this name
with what he has read of some
strange disease in the tropics and has
wondered if some new and strange
bug" has invaded this country.
The sleeping sickness" which occa-
sionally occurs in this country Is
something entirely different and dis
tinct from the tropical disease, the
true sleeping sickness, which so far
as known has never appeared in the
United States. The so-called sleeping
sickness reported in our papers is
really form of meningitis or intiam-
nation of the membrane covering
the brain, only in this form the most
prominent symptom is drowsiness or
even deep sleep continued over a long
period of, time.
The cause of this peculiar form of
meningitis is not clearly known. In
an article in a recent issue of the
Journal of the American Medical AS
ISOLATION, DR.. William Browning, a
Well-known nerve specialist of Brook.
Ign, makes an interesting suggestion
as to its cause.
Doctor Browning has for many
years given careful attention to the
amount of sleep his patients were
.getting. In attending number of
cases of sleeping sickness, he was i'm
pressed with the fact that most Of
those who contracted this disease had
been exhausted from overwork and
fatigue and especially had gone with
out sufficient sleep. Further observa-
ton increased the belief that INSULT
Client sleep was one of the principal
causes for this strange disease.
In his paper he presents twenty
eight cases of sleeping sickness, each
one of which followed long periods Of
short allowance Of sleep. One boy of
eighteen was staying out night after
night with crowd of associates. A
man Of fifty-ive, while never out eve
nings, ''sat up until all hours" with a
new radio. A high school boy, am
bilious to stand at the head of his
class, studied until midnight every
night and got up at six o'clock. A
clerk, who was trying to educate him
self, rose at 6 a. M, never got home
until eight or nine o'clock at night
and then read until 2 a. M Physi-
clans and nurses who naturally lose
much sleep are particularly subject
to this disease.
The body needs certain amount Of
rest. You can cheat it for a long
time but in the end you'll pay.

Curry Comb and Brush

The thorough, yet gentle use Of
curry comb and brush does for an
animal what bath and clean shirt
do for man. It gives the skin better
chance to perform its important func-
lions; 1t makes the hair coat more
adequate as protection against in
clement weather; it is an excellent
preventive for certain external para
sites; it makes for good health as
we'll as good looks. At no time is It
more essential to animal well-being
than during winter.

Save Chicken Manure

Chicken manure is one of the most
valuable fertilizers produced on the
farm. 1t is especially rich in nitro
gen. and since this is one of the es-
sential elements that plants must
have for growth, it should be saved.
The practice of most farmers to
have no dropping boards under the
roosts is wasteful. With properly
constructed dropping board one may
scrape or rake off the manure into an
old tub or bucket, and load 1t onto
the wagon in a few minutes.

SAYS
PARK COUNTY IN
GOOD CONDITION

According to Leroy Joyce, state
examiner. who made an audit of
the county books several weeks g
Park county is probably in the
best condition financially, of
county in the state of Wyoming.
There is no bonded indebtedness
against the county, it is equipped
with a very adequate and service
able court house and at present
time the county treasurer has made
a II for all outstanding warrant
up to March 1, 1926.
This will be very gratifying in
formation to the taxpayers of the
county. Recently the state exam
iner's office issued a statement
showing that all the counties of
the state, with the exception of five,
which five included Park county,
showed a decrease in expenditures
for the last year.
Seemingly this might be a re-
Election against the administration
of Park county's affairs, but the
truth of the matter is tina for a
number of years Park county has
had unusual good business men in.
office. During this period the
county's Indebtedness has been paid
off and the expenses have been
pared to a minimum, with the re-
suit that during the past year, al
though there was no outstanding
expenditures which increased the
expenses Of the county government,
the record for economy over the
past years had been such, that no
additional cuts in the expenses could
be made.
Mr.. Joyce is said to have been
well pleased with the audit made
of the county records, and only
wishes that more counties could
show such good records for efficient
government.

History of American Forest Week
The idea of devoting seven days
in the yea to forestry education
originated on the Pacific coast in
1920. President Harding in 1922
and 1928 issued presidential pro-
.clamations which brought the Fed
eral Government behind the idea.
President Coolidge in turn gave the
plan this sanction and issued presi-
dental proclamations for 1924, 1925
and again this year.
Out of the m~ultifarious weeks
this is the only one to which the
Government has given such recog-
milton and support for five success
sive years. Many governors nave
likewise issued special proclamations

DRIVERLESS CARS
FOR YELLOWSTONE
Would Organize Company
to Launch New Transportation
System in Yellowstone Park

John B. Farrell of Billings Mont,
and James w. Croll of Denver, Col
RADIO, are visitors in Cody this
week, and on Monday presented a
plan to the Cody club whereby
they hope to organize a company
to operate d~riverless cars through
Yellowstone park, beginning with
this season. They propose to make
available twenty-five Willys-Knight
sedans at Cody, which will be leas-
ed to tourists coming here via rail,
park. By the plan which the men
have outlined, the company can
pay for the cars in one season, by
charging a price no greater than
hat charged to the tourists by the
Yellowstone Park transportation
company.
The gentlemen are endeavoring
to enlist the support of some of the
local businessmen, and their plan
is to finance at least of ten of the
cars to be used in their service in
Cody. They will purchase the cars
on the payment plan. and ask To-
cal men to provide one-half of the
first or initial payment. Their faith
in the new venture is so great that
they hope to make the balance of
the payments from the proceeds of
their operations. The plans call for
the establishment of offices at each
of the park entrances, and a tourist
party may cur a car at Cody,
drive it through the park and check
it out at another entrance.
The driverless car plan is gain
ing much momentum in the cities
of the country, and would no doubt
prove popular to tourists coming
here by train. who wish to avoid
the trip in the park buses. The
charge of $25 a day, for the use
of the Willys-Knight sedan. would
be a nominal one. and would permit
the sightseer to go through the
park as he chooses, see all the
sights. and do SO at an expense of
about the same as going the Tran
%sportation way. The new plan no
doubt has its merits. and it is just
a matter of how much faith the
local men have in the promoters
ability to put the enterprise thru.
which will be the deciding factor
of their getting financial support
here.
