The first car was crowded with pas

AS many persons shortly will be start
ing on their vacation. where they often
acquire a fine amount of fatigue, a few
remarks on this subject will probably be
timely The underlying principle Of ia
tigue is that toxins are produced by the
activity of living substances. Before they
manifest themselves as toxins these IA
tigue substances act as stimulants. A
muscle on stimulation will contract, but
sooner or later the contra ctions weaken,
and continue to weaken till no movement
is made. Experiments have shown that
although a certain increase in work in a
firing muscle may be secured by increas-
ing the intensity of the stimulus. this re-
suit is but temporary. and presently all
stimuli, no matter how powerful. cease
to have effect and the muscle is dead or
exhausted.
So 1t is with the nervous system. and
in other animals and plant tissues. and
Is probably a chara acteristic Of all living
substance. Now, while we can recognize
definite toxins, such as carbon dioxide
and Tactic acid, which are poisonous to
protoplaSm and diminish it's irritability,
We know of no definite antitoXin. Food,
rest and sleep are the natural antidoteS.
Caffeine, theobromne and alcohol in
small doses have temporary effect over
fatigue. which IS. however, soon lost. No
other known remedy, then, but food and
rest can destroy fatigue.

Taylor Holmes into stellar prominence IN

elor.
1t tells a laughable story of the woes of
a young married couple living in the sub
urbs. The wife does not like a certain
bachelor friend of her husband because
she believes this friend responsible for all
her worser half's late hours and morn
after headaches. The bachelor
friend however, by a strange coincidence
is unintentionally foisted on the wife for
a whole day in the country, and the re-
sulting situations are highly amusing to
every one except the wife and the bach
elor.
