Victims of Sleeping
Sickness in ENGLAND

More than 5000 people have died
from encephalitis lethargica, the So
called sleeping sickness, In England
and Wales In the last five years, ac-
cOrdlng to an announcement recently
made by the minister of health. Health
authorities in England are expressing
alarm over the encephalItis situation
even though the number OF cases has
been reduced from 5000 In 1924 to
2,2G7 In 1926. 1t has been estimated
that about 30 per cent of all cases die,
and that 70 per cent of the recover
les show various disease manifesto
lions ranging from mild conduct dis
order to complete paralysis. The
London county council has made eff
forts to provide for the treatment of
partly recovered victims, but this
meets the needs of only a compare
lively small group. 1t has been point
ed out to the home secretary that
there Is need of providing an institu-
ton where children can receive spe.
cldl treatment, for Its after effects
are recognized as contributing
cause of delinquency. Active need of
scientific research to combat this
scourge Is urged.

less chance of the curtains being In
the way of the sash. Draw curtains
can be pulled back to the extreme
edge of the window frame when the
easement is opened. If glass cur
tains must be used they should be
hung from the upper casing so that
they remain inside the room when the
easement is unfastened. Otherwise
they would soon be spoiled by rain
and outdoor air. Side draperies and
draw curtains should end on line
with the apron or sill.
II Easement Opens In.
If the easement opens in, glass cur
tains may be shirred on rods at the
top and bottom Of the sash, or hung
with rings from the top Of 1t, so that
they swing with the window. If a
valance and side draperies are used
with the opening-in easement, the
valance must clear the top of the sash
as it swings in. On the whole, draw
curtains will be found best for case
ments. They are generally arranged
in clusters of plaits on rings to be
drawn back and forth on a solid rod
by means Of double cords passing over
small pulleys. The Illustration shows
easement curtains of plain coloret
pongee for the living room.

Nonshrinkable Wool
Supplied BY Ouibos

The musk-ox - scientifically, the
ovibos-is one of the interesting an
finals Of the Arctic region. 1t is some
thing like a COW and something like
a sheep, but Is not cross, though the
name, ovibos, means q sheep-cow. It
seems to be a relic Of an animal that
lived In the Stone age, when the hairy
rhinoceros and the mammoth were
common, writes the travel editor of
the Pathfinder Magazine. 1t feeds on
grass herbs, moss and the shoots of
trees. Not only is its meat very good
to eat and the hide good for leather,
but the wool from it's coat Is softer
than cashmere and 1t has the .advan-
tage over all other wool that it will
not shrink. One can smell the ovibos
when 1t is still a quarter Of mile
away, and this gives 1t its popular
name of musk-ox. But the musily
smell does not faint the meat If the
butehering is carefully done.

United States Ahead
of World in Reading

Some self-confessed intellectuals
question the high plane of the Amerl-
cans taste for reading matter but
they cannot deny that the American
reads more than the other peoples Of
the world. Government statistics dis
close that there are 20,031 newspapers
In the United States and that the
country's book business last year was
S130,000,000. The nation consumed
100000 tons Of paper last year. In
face of these amazing figures none can
complain that Americans do not read
enough. If we don't all read classical
literature all Of the time we at least
read and that Is healthfu sign. A
comparison Of paper consumption re-
veals that more paper is required for
the United States than for all Of the
rest Of the world and that this coun.
try's consumption per capita Is more
than twice as great rs that of the next
largest user of paper.-Bahgor Com

Making French Dressing

For French, or oil and vinegar
dressing, use these proportions and
make any amount you need: half tea
spoonful of salt, few grains of cay

spoonfuls of vinegar, six tablespoon

say that French dressing required "a
spendthrift for oil, miser for win

At any rate, add vinegar sparingly and
beat the ingredients together until
they are well blended. If you have o
