What FATIGUE Really In.

Tiredness is as natural a condition
of life as is the ability to perform
work, writes Andrew Wilson in the
Illustrated London News. It is ma
lures signal that rest and repose are
necessary in order to recuperate the
vital powers. Think for moment of
the supply of nourishment (Which
means the giving of energy or "the
power Of doing work'') to any part.
The healthy frame receives it's due
quota Of food materials, and out of
them builds up it's substance and OBJ
tains its working power. But the
supply of energy is not constant.
Hence, after a certain exhaustion of
the store it originally possessed, the
human engine demands more coal and
water. Fatigue is tn, sign-manual
which authorizes the fl .sh supply.
