That Body of Yours

THAT TIRED FEELING

Some weeks ago I spoke about the various causes of fatigue or tired- MIB; namely wastes in lower bowel. infection, and one or more unsolved problems on the mind.

While it was only natural for a man in the armed forces to be ner- vously tired because of dangers and difficulties of military life and also for the meunbers of the family of such a man, there is still much everyday fatigue, that tired feeling, among civilians in all countries to- day‘.

Ln the Medical Jolmial of Aus- tralia, Dr. Basil Williams reports his study of 100 consecutive cases of tiredness in civilian lwracllse. In 41 cases (16 male, 25 femalct. the sole Cflllfit‘ nf tiredness was scmc mental nr clnutiona‘. i-onditlrwl such a; anxicty or OHIPI‘ ncurosls. ill a s:cond group of 33 ti‘! unalc, it". female). there was an anxiety state together with a. focal infection lteeth, tonsils, gums. sinuses, gall bladder.) But the paticnt admitted being nervous before infection oc- curred. Ln the third group of 26 (14 male, 12 female), there was a real or organic cause for tiredness such as tuberculosis, gland disturbance tgOIlOI), and after-effects of organ- ic discases. The above cases tihus show that in three-fourths of illCSC 100 consecutive cases in general practice, some emotional disturb-

Selfish ,Woman

ttllliow Should Wall Despite Opposition 0f Sweetheart’: Slater .

DEAR MISS DIX: I am a. widow. My husband was a. minister and we were extremely happy together. At the time o! his death. there was a gentleman at the head of his board of trustees of the church who was a great friend of ours, and when I was widowed he was very kind in helping me settle my affairs.

Now this man, who is a bachelor, wants to marry me. His brother-in-law said to me: “Mrs. E., you think you haven't. anything left. to live for. But. Ed is in love with you and he ls very unhappy because his sister never permitted him to keep company with any girls. Perhaps this is your challenge to try to make him happy,

I think it is, because I love him, too, but his sistcr and the entire family are all up in arms over ll, ‘They say that if I marry him, it. will break up the family, They won't speak to me-wolft. even go to church for fear of seeing me. He is so un- happy over it. all that he thinks he will go insane.

Should I give up our happiness just. because this possessive sister. who has dominated him all his life, wants to keep him for herself? The sister has gone to bed with a nervous stomach, she is so angry over the matter.

BEWILDERED WOMAN.

ANSWER: I am strong for you and Ed taking your happiness where you find it and getting married right away without debating the matter any longer with the dominating sister. And if it gives her stomach ulcers, let her have ‘em. I have known lots of women who kept their entire families in subjection by taking to their beds whenever they were crossed but, unfortunately, none of them ever seem to die. When they find out they can't get. their own way by working on the sympatliics of others. they get up and are as chlrpy as sandboys.

That. we do not work halcl cllough physically to causc an cvcr prcscltt tired fcnlizlg and that. phvsic-al or" organic d scasc. such as infection or tuberculosis. ls nct a common cau=c of this tiredness is stated by Dr. S. Allan in the Journal of the Ameli- can Medical Association, A study of 3G0 cases of chronc fatigue show- ed that in oilly 1 in 5 was tfhc 11rd- ncss due to any physical or organic‘ disease v i

liow can the patient and physic- tan know when the tiredness 1s due to the emotions?

l. The tiredness or weakness is worse in the fllflrllllig.‘ 2. The amount or extent of the tiredness is not always the same, despite Lhc fact that there is no change in acti- vity or occupation. 3. Immediate benefit from slew-acting drugs such as thyroid and iron. 4. lmmcdiriic rctum to the tired condition "whim such drugs arc ‘withdrawn.

Sister get him under her thumb, If he has any spunk in him, he will make a last. fight. for liberty, because if he gives in at this crisis he is done for. So brace him up and deliver him from his tormentors,

Don't discuss the matter any further. Just tell him that you have sci the day and-the hour for getting married, and go through with it. When it is all over with, sister may give a squawk or wo, but there vflll be nothing she can do about it. Certainly two mid le-aged people have a right to pick out. their mates and get married if they want to.

But. one piece of advice I wish to impress on you. 'I'hat is:'Don't go to live with sister, or let sister come to live with you.

DEAR MISS DIX: I have an awful habit of watching everybody who drives by our house and starting scandals about them. I especially make up talcs about young girls and boys in my community and have caused a lot of heartache and disgrace among the younB llleoille and their friends and parents. t

What would you advise me to do to break myself of this habit?

Strangely enough, tho lunbkin our men found in the shed at week's end was not white but. in- stead bewitchirtgly fleeced in sable. For to join his father, Jock had coma by lantern light from the house across the lane, drawn also doubtless by duty’: call. It was at that time of clay when Satur- day merges into the rest and peace of Sunday. There, of course, could be no thought of retiring for e.th- er, until the still helpless lamb had fed and the young ewe-mother. whose anxious bleats had reached us indoors, had been made cum- fortable for the remainder of the night. Stars glowed coldly tllCll and the moonlight lay a bit mist- lly about the yards and surround- ing countryside I remember new that before lighting the night lamp, I gazed a moment c-n the scene from on lzlpstnir window, and I too slurred in l|lf‘ reiicf so (‘Yliltili in the brisk steps of the mcn as, their long day's work at an end, thcy at last, made their ways to their respective homes.

At Alderica. the Sabbath, which sct out to be pleasant, brought some of the family to church in the morning; it gathered visitors about our tables to dinner and fetched us a quiet evening with blustering Autumn-like winds, ill- tcnse darkness, and rain stroanllalg down the panes.
