I.-'ATlGUE MAY BE CAUSED BY UNDERACTIVE THYROLD

La we think of the human body, most of us naturally have in mind the underlying bone: which form the framework. the hundreds of muscles over the framework, then the various organs which handle our digestion, our breathing and circulation of the blood, and. nn- ally, the bram and nerves.

What many of us forget as we think of the body are the various glands which regulate the pro- cesses of the body: the thyroid gland in the neck speeding up the various processes and the adrenal glands in the small of back. one above each kidney, which slow down and steady the rate at which the body processes work. There is the pituitary. lying on. the floor of the skull, which has much to do with regulating the handling of starch foods by the digestive organs and also glands supplying other organs.

While we know about the over- activity of the thyroid gland (goiter) and how it makes the various organs and processes work faster. many of us do not know as much about the underactivity of this gland. which slows up all mental and physical activity. In severe cases, the condition is called myxedema and the individual is called a cretin.

As one of the outstanding symp- toms of underactlvity of the thy- roid gland is fatigue or tiredness, Dr. H. E. Christian, in Ohio state Medical Journal, states that of the many patients who consult their physicians with a complaint of fatigue. only a small number have

heart and blood vessel disease. anemia, diabetes or tuberculosis. "Life situations are a little too

difficult for some and in others the fatigue can be accounted for by poor living habits." Therefore, Dr. Christman believes that mild hyperthyroidism tunderactivity oi the thyroid glandt is present in many patients v"t1'1 complain of fatigue. There x-.::'c 138 patients with this condition among 1.000 consecutive cases of unselected patients seen in his office within a period of four years. The most frequent sign seen in these pat- ients was a below normal rate tmetabolism rate) at which the body processes were working. Fatigue was a symptom in all the patients with hyperthyroidism. Dry skin and hair, brittle nails,

poor tolerance to cold. dyspepsia. swelling of hands and feet, low blood pressure and constipation

were other signs of hyperthyroid- ism.

F rtunateiy. all these cases suf- fer with lack of thyroid ex- tract are helped immediately by use of thyroid extract daily.

"Yes," said the other.

"Burglary?" "Well. yes." 'iAra you insured against floods?"

"Floods." sairl the other, show- ing interest at last.

"How do you start floods?"

Q. In it all right for the mother of a bride-to-be or her fianceis mother to give I shower for her?

A. Neither one of these persons should give I shower. as this would be in the nature of invitins Km donatiom. Properly. only close friends of the bride-to-be should give showers for her.

Q. Is it necessary to mail out engraved invitations to an open house one in holding in one'a new home?

A. No: this is an informal type of entertainment. and you may extend your invitations either per- sonally or over the telephone.

Q. Is it correct to fold napkins in a cone shape, so that they will stand upright?

A. No; this custom is obsolete.

For Tomorrow

DESPITE delays. stubborn ob- stacles and look of co-operation from important places. old insti- tutions or elderly persons, which may be encountered, there is in- dication of breaking down this lack of interest or active opposi- tion by a. less obvious approach. with clever Slr3lEfZlPs designed to

break down resistance. It might be that an inltuitlve flash. in hunch. or perhaps an emotional

appeal might work where direct action falls. If It Is Your Birthday

Those whose birthday it 15. may be subject to dela.V5- P0599039" menis, seemingly difficult and hopeless. While studious, serious and ambitious at the start, there may he reversals and rebuffs in putting over cherished plans. How- ever, a gesture of hidden forces and faculties, shrewdness and keen insight into underlying factors for defeat. might inspire some stra- tegic moves, breaking down op- position or want of collaboration. vital to constructive programs. An emotional approach. tactful. subtle and sound, could enlist support.

A child born on this day while finding stubborn obstacles in life. may eventually transmute disaster into discipline.
