The facts are placed before us succinctly and graph- ically. In Los Angeles, gas is 745 B. T. U. In Seattle, it is 500 or less. The quality is 30 per cent higher in Los Angeles and the price is 50 per cent lower. This is not the worst feature of the story. There| may be local reasons for the low rate in Los Angeles. We do not know. But the facts presented here show that Seattle pays more for gas than ANY city of its class in the entire United States, and nowhere is the i quality lower. The gas situation in Seattle surely is smelly—liter- ally and figuratively. “Talking Sicknesss” HE strange illness, called “talking sickness,” and pur- ported cure of little eight-year-old Miriam Rubin of Waukegan, Ill., have brought her a degree of fame which seldom comes to a child of her tender years. The peculiar form of her sickness and the claim of an almost miraculous cure have been commercialized to the extent that they have been described in hundreds of advertisements thruout the country. However, the facts, as related by the attending | doctors of ‘medicine and by the nurse and the investigator sent by the American Medical! association, ‘differ in many respects from the reports contained in the advertisements. J. W. Gilbert, executive secretary of the State League for the Conservation of Public Health, makes the following statement: “A little more than a month ago Miriam Rubin was taken ill with pains in arms, hands and legs, which did not interfere with her normal movements, After a day or two she began talking rapidly and almost continually. When the family physician was called, he found her talking rationally, pronouncing all her words distinctly and answering all questions intelligently. Her condition was unchanged for two days, but when she showed symptoms of delirium a specialist was called from Chicago. The child slept at short intervals but was restless and irrational. A consultation of physicians was called and the disease was diagnosed as |‘epidemic encephalitis’ or, as it is better known, ‘sleeping YOUTH AND BEAUTY” sickness.’ On February 12 a chiropractor was permitted to give the little girl treatments. These treatments con- tinued for 11 days without appreciable effect, after which The girl's condition showed a gradual improvement, but on March 1 she was’ stil! dangerously ill. Since February 23 the family physician has had ‘entire charge of the case. “It is frequently observed in the course of ‘sleeping sick- ’ that the patient is talkative and restless., It is charac- tic of the disease that after the period of excitation passed, the patient begins to sleep and other symptoms develop normally.
