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.

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.
