Fatigue is a destructive agent like sickness and death. Itis a condition
which IN the nature Of things We ann avoid; Tut it is important fol- us to
know what it means and how to deal with it If W e want to keep out of costly
bIunders.
When We are tired out W i" are not ourselves A part of IS has temporarily
gone out Of existence. What remains is something which belongs to a more
primitive state ofci civilization.
A Our personalities are built p in strata. n layer added to another. At
the bottom lie the savage virtues and vices of our remote ancestors The
code OF morals Of cHf jewellers and hunting tribes still holds there. At the
top lie the higher attachments o a n advanced sociey-the things that have
taken hundreds of centuries to acquire. In mn patience is ne of these, mod
esy is another; chastity, and a fine sense OF justice and personal obligation
belong in the list, too. - #= ~+
Now when fatigue begins to attack the personality, it naturally under
mines these latGt strata first. When a nan is exhausted, he finds it difficult
to be patient. That is not his fault. It is because fatigue has forced him
back a few hundred generations. His selfconrol is at a low ebb. The small
est noyan are enough 20 make him loeh his temper .
The same holds rue of all the list of recent charter ACQUISITIONS. MANY
temptations are more violent and harder to resist when a mn is fatRued. His
morals sense is duned. He loses the vivdness of his distinctions between right
and wrong honesty and dishonesty-Gcod Housekeeping.

Deadly EffectC Of Fatigue

Nm ATIGUB lowers all the faculties of the body. The effects on the
