This word is defined as an inflammation of the bruin substance. To the anatomist the brain l> known as the “encephalon.” This shows you why the terra encephalitis is used to express inflammation of the brain. Even the doctors heard little about encephali tis until after the influenza epidemics of 1918 and 1919. It was observed that influenza was followed in some c:i3 s by certain symptoms which indicated an inflammation of the brain. To this disease was given the name “influenzal encephalitis." It is known to the laity as “bleep ing sickness.” The way the ailment announces its presence is by the haziness of mind or actual unconscious- nr? rnpn \\T> ness which suddenly appears. The afflicted per son is walking along the street and suddenly falls down, unconscious, or almost so. This attack is not like a “fit” as ordinarily understood. There are not likely to be convulsions and frothing at the mouth. There Is a dullness or stupor which wax never exix-rienced before. In some cases there may be con vulsive attacks. Latter on It may be observed that the eyes do not focus or they appear crossed. Sleeping sickness Is an obscure sort of ailment. Sometimes It is ex tremely difficult to determine that it is really an attack of encephalitis.

Travelers, especially those* Inclined to be epicures or gourmets, have something to look forward to tf they have not yet been guests at a formal dinner In Sweden. The most distinctive feature of a Swedish repast Is the smorgasbord (sandwich table), variously described as a "super-suiter hors d’oeuvre." a miniature, delicatessen store, and a deliberate attack on all the rules of diet. To count calories while feast ing at a smorgas bord would require the services of an expert accountant equipped with several high-speed adding machines. The ceremony of dining begins with all the guests grouped about a small, heavily laden table at one end of the dining room. The men take precedence. With small glasses raised high they bow elaborately to their host and cry "Skal" as they toss down preliminary portions of schnapps. The ladies do not indulge tn this appetizing leverage, neither do they partake of the very' sweet and surprisingly potent Swedish punch served at the conclusion of the dinner. Next, plates are laden with an chovies. caviar, cheese, pickled her ring. sardellt-n, cold meats of all sorts, sausages of every description, baked mushrooms, spiced pickles of many kinds, and several varieties of bread.

HARSH TONES MAYBE CHANGED BY EXERCISE Improve Your Health and Learn to Breathe Properly If You Would Have a Soft, Musical Voice, Advises Beauty Experts Outlining Corrective Treatment. By JOSEPHINE HUDDLESTON A LOVELY speaking voice of pure and musical quality and flex ibility is indeed an asset to every woman, yet a disagreeable voice mars the beauty and charm of the most attractive per son. There is, however, a treatment to correct this defect, just as there are remedies for other beauty destroyers, but it is one that only you can administer. The peculiar characteristics of the normal speaking voice axe not fixed and unchangeable, but are influenced by every condition that affects the individual, physically, mentally and spiritually. Therefore, if the voice is nasal, weak, harsh, high pitched, muffled, or in any way faulty, do not despair, for it can be entirely “made over.” A perfect tone is possible only when the body is properly poised, the breathing normal, and when the mucous membranes which line the lunrs, throat, mouth and other organs are in a healthy condition. In a healthy person, this mombrane is hard, firm and smooth, thus producing a clear, even JOSEPHINE tone. However, improper diet and deficient ac- H.ifNr\i rcvnkl tivity of depurative organa causes an accumula- nvwu.0 ivn tion of waste matter in the body, and the work of excretion is thrown largely upon the mucous membrane which becomes, for the time being, an excretory organ. Under such circumstances the membrane becomes thick and coarsened, producing a harsh and less pleasing tone or voice. * This is why the quality of the voice depends largely upon the gen eral health of the Individual. If you have followed my past sug gestions for correct breathing* you will find the following exercises the same with the exception of lighter and lees deliberate Inhalations and exhalations. All faults of voice are caused by abnormal muscular action, and the one important requirement far a per fect tone is relaxation. Exercise I.—Lie flat on the back, limbs stretched to their full length and arms lying relaxed at the sides. Inhale alowly. but deeply. Then ex hale slowly until the breath la ex hausted. Uelng only enough force to make a faintly audible ‘•eh.1’ After breathing In this manner twenty-rive times, stand erect, with the weight of the body resting on the balls of the feet, chest up and head tilted back slightly. Repeat the breathing exercise twenty-five time*. While practicing It is well to concentrate on how softly and easily one can exhale, rather than , how long or how loud one can make, the ,,eh.” 1 . ... Having Inhaled and exhaled fifty times, you are now raady for the second exercise. Still retaining the standing position. Inhale deeply and slowly—then while exhaling, utter a soft I*hum” until the breath is ex hausted. Repeat twenty-five times. The third exercise may be prac ticed whenever you find time, as it does not require any specific posi tion. it merely conssta of Inhaling slowly and humming softly while ex haling. Move about the room in an exaggerated relaxation walk, remem bering to hold the chest and head up. Hum softly the words of a song you are famlltar with an that you are mainly concerned with the soft ness and quality of the voice, rather than having to give attention to the tune. It is the well modulated and clear voice that suggests desirable moods and pleasing personality, rather than the harsh metallic, or choked voice that registers hatred, anger, fear or Jealousy. In my next artilcle I will give you some exercises designed to strength en the facial and mouth muscles. These are to be used in conjunction with the exercises given today. -- The Home Kitchen By JEANNETTE YOUNG NORTON Culinary Echoes from the Orient. WE home-loving Occidental*'" are usually slow to accept Oriental food. We don't understand Its preparation, so gen erally say wo do not like it, a rather poor excuse for our ignorance. If we could carefully investigate, tie willing to taste and try the foods, we might wake up to the fact that we have been missing a whole lot of good things. Some dishes, of course, are prohibitive because of the lack of proper Ingredients in this country, but many transplant suc cessfully. Rice, for instance, so frequently badly cooked in America, begins and ends many Oriental m*a’.s—and it is always well cooked. So if we learn to cook rice properly we have made a long step towards mastering the staff of Oriental cookery. If the rice should be soggy and glutinous or have a •’bone" in it the dish, of which it Is perhaps a part. Is sure to be ruined. Oriental Rice. Wash the usual cupful of rice, then put it Into a saucepan with three cupfuls of water, boil for twenty-five minutes then drain and pour on cold water and wash the rice until all the milky water is gone, wash In several waters until the grain* seem to stand apart, then let drain. When drained set In the oven to dry off. stirring it frequently until it is all as evenly dry and separate and flaky as pop corn. This is Oriental rice. Greek Lamb Stew. Lamb is the meat of the Orient and it is cooked in many different ways. Take a pound of fat Iamb and cut Into small pieces, put It into a hot frying pan and let it cook in its own fat, turning tha pieces so that they brown evenly. Add two minced onions to the meat and fry ten minutes longer. Add two sliced tomatoes and a quart of string beans that have been strung and slit lengthwise, once. Melt together for five minutes then add three cupfuls of stock, a teaspoonful of salt, a aaltspoonful of red pepper, two tablespoonfuls of olivs oil. and cook gently for twenty-five minutes, when the beans should be done. 8erve hot with rlc* prepared as already di rected. Dolmas. It you have no grape leaves In which to wrap your dolmas, cabbage leaves will do as well. Let them simmer for five minutes then drain them. Pry two tablespoonfuls of pine nuts in on# tabiespoonful of oil. When golden brown lift from the pan and crush them. Chop fine four onions, six sprays of parrtey, and fry them In the oil. When they are cooked, but not brawn, add one and a half cupfuls of finely minced raw Iamb, and a half cupful of the boiled rice. Return the nuts to the mixture and cook all together for five minutes, stirring well. Now add a cupful of stock, salt and pep per. and cook until the moisture Is taken up. about fifteen minute*. Now spread out the drained cabbage leaves, there should be sixteen of them, and place a spoonful of the meat mixture oA each. Fold one point to the center and roll tightly. Spread three or four cabbage leaves on the bottom of the pot and put In the dolmas. Inverting a plate over the top to keep them In shape. Pour in cold water to cover the rlate and boil gently for one and a half hours. Serve hot. Curried Banana*. Peel and slice an onion very thinly, brown It lightly in one table spoonful of butter, sift In a level tablespoonful of curry powder, add a half tablespoonful more butter and rub smooth, pour In a cupful of good chicken broth, stir and blend and when It simmere add a quarter cup ful of grated cocoanut, and a grated raw apple. Simmer until the apple Is dissolved and the cocoanut is tender Blend a tablespoonful of brown flour with a Uttle water and stir into the sauce and when emooth add six halved bananas, cover closely and cook .for ten minutes gently.
