to attend the English parliament as

he had made certain arrangements

FIGHTING FATIGUE.
lacking Up the Tired System Without
Usirq StimuIants


II efforts to keep at work are con-
tinued in spite OF fatigue the quality
OF the work is poor and the exhaustion
inordinate. Students constantly make
this error and do all sorts of things
to keep awake to burn the midnight
oil when If they would go to bed and
rest they could accomplish far more
In half the time in the morning with
little or no fatigue.
Yet there are times when sleepiness
and fatigue must be overcome without
resort to stimulants which injure the
judgment. The tired physician with
a critical case. for instance. must have
his wits about him. and it will aid him
vastly to go to an open window every
fifteen or thirty minutes to take a
dozen or two deep Inspirations of cold
air. His exhaustion In the end will be
great. but he can make 1t up later.
As matter of fact. surgeons and
others whose work requires the keen

''The possibilities for making money
from the raising each year of a few

not be overlooked either, for with the
constantly increasing demand for
good beef and the constantly diminish
ing output from the ranges, caused by
the invasion of the short grass re-
gions by the farmer and the fruit
grower, it need never be expected that
beef will fall below a to 6 cents per
pound on the hoof.
"The farmer, who, each year, has
few prime beef animals to put on the
market will make big money with
little effort.
