SLEEPING SICKNESS

tO 1926 Western Newspaner (Jnion

FROM time to time the newspapers
= in different parts of the country
tell of isolated cases of sleeping sick
ness" What attracts the attention OF
the newspaper men, as well as of the
PEOPLE in the community, is that some
person has slept" for an unusual and
in some cases, an extraordinary long
period No matter what the condition
Of the patient or the cause of this con-
dition, it is Immediately dubbed sleep
ing sickness"
Now the professional man knows
that this term may be used to desig-
nate any abnormally long period OF
sleep or long continued period of I'M
consciousness from any one of many
different causes
There is, in the tropics. a real dis
case called sleeping sickness, due to a
tropical infection but that disease Is
never seen in this country. There may
also be Inconsistencies, caused by

may follow infection by influenza, ty-
plus, measles. humps, pneumonia or
scarlet fever. Long continued uncon-
seriousness may be caused by brain
tumors or in the last stages of Bright's
disease. Then there are strange and
mysterious cases in which none OF
these causes is present but where the
patient. without being unconscious,
sleeps for an amazingly long time.

falling to sleep again.
In recent article in the Journal Of
the American Medical Association, DR..
William Browning, well-known nell
rolosist of Brooklyn, reports % cases
which he has observed and makes the
very interesting comment that each
one of these patients was, at the time
of the attack. exhausted by prolonged
and excessive overwork and had been
running long. time on aascanty allow
ance of sleep. In a, word, they had
been overworking and undersleeping.
His history of these cases shows how
many of MS are starving ourselves for
sleep and how many are the ways, to-
day. in which the body can be kept
on short rations of sleep.
One man of fifty-five was very regu-
lar in his habits and never went out
nights" But his son said he 'sat up

spending two nights with his girl and
going to business school two nights.
This left him /one free night week
for sleep. Every one of the twenty
eight patients was regularly cutting
down his sleep to an entirely INSULT
cient amount. Physicians and nurses,
for obvious reasons. are particularly
subject to this condition.
Sleep is the one physical need we
can get without cost. Regardless Of
special cases, we need eight hours Of
sleep every-night. If you don't get it.

AGRICULTURE

The dairyman cannot rely on pas
ture alone for milk and make money
by doing so, according to the Larrowe
Institute of Animal Economics. Ex-
periments on the comparative value
of grain and pasture, carried on at the
Institutes research farm, BEDFORD,
Mich, amply backs up this statement.
"The record of COW No. rs in 1924
and 1925 is typical of the results OBJ
tanned in these experiments" states
the Institute. "This cow is an ordi-
nary grade Holstein, and a pretty
good producer
Throughout the whole lactation, in
1924, she was kept on a grain and hay
ration with absolutely no pasture.
Throughout the milking period she
produced an average of 3.6 gallons of
milk per day. At the end of the
years lactation, she experienced nor
NAL decline in milk production. She
was in splendid condition as a result
of her year-round grain ration, as she
evidenced by starting off her 1925
lactation by producing up to 5.4 gal
Ions Of milk per day.
"a year ago this week this cow
went on pasture. For 10 days milk
production moved up but after the
first stimulus Of the grass tonic wore
off, she fell steadily in milk as her
grain ration was reduced. Two months
after she went on pasture, she was
receiving two pounds of grain per
day. Her production has dropped from
4.6 gallons per day to 2.6 gallons.
The production continued to drop off
until the 280th day when she was only
producing IL gallons daily as against
almost 8 gallons daily in the previous
lactation at the same time.
"No dairyman could ask for more
convincing proof that the reliance on
grass alone is costly and that a regu-
lar grain ration with pasture through
cut the summer pays real dividends in
milk production"

The Marquis Henri de la Falaise'
Gloria Swanson's husband. has opened
a bookshop in New York. His popu'
larity has increased in consequence.
M. de la Falaise, discussing this In
crease in popularity, said the other
day:
"When titled foreigner marries an
American girl with money the worst
motives are imputed to him. It's like
the little story:
"'Sir; a young baron said to a
Broadway banker, 4 have called to

Muscular Prodigy

There are very many cases on rec
ord Of infant prodigies, children who
could play the plano at three, preach
sermons at five, or deliver lectures on
scientific subjects at seven. But cases
Of very early muscular development
are much rarer. Russia has won
der child born at VladivostOk six
years ago, who has already the size
and muscular strength Of a full-grown
man. He has a deep bass voice and
a full-grown mustache and beard. In
mind, however, he is still child.
There is similar case recorded in
English medical annals.

Some Senate opponents predicted
today that the measure would not be
passed at this session, certainly not
in the form in which it came from
the House, where many projects were
tackled on.
Explaining this action by the House
yesterday, Representative Sosnowski
Republican, Michigan, said opponents
of the bill had added MANY amend.

total authorized appropriation TO such
a figure that the bill would be out of
harmony with the administrations
financial program and would never
become a law.
Describing the proposal as one
loaded down with cats and dogs, !"
Senator La Toilette, Republican, Wis
consin, said he proposed to fight 1t
all along the line. He predicted that
number of Senators would take
similar action.
Senator Ferris. Democrat, Michi-
gan. also said that he and other
Senators from States around the
Great Lakes would interpose serious
opposition because of the provision
