An army of million will be retained
in France and Germany however, in
order to guard against German treach-
cry, and it will be long time before all
OF our boys come back.

LAST Monday President Wilson ap-
peared before Congress and read his
message to that body. 1t was reported
that certain Republicans would take ad
vantage Of the opportunity to cross
question him about his proposed trip
TO Europe, but they got cold feet and
there was no break in the decoram Of
the occasion. The President stated that
he was going abroad to take part in the
peace proceedings because he conceived
it his duty to do so, and unpreiudiced
persons, as rule. will find no fault with
him for going. Those who are preju-
diced would have criticised him il he
hadn't gone.

Why People Stay Tired

else whirh the tired people chiefly
need. This will increase the energy
reserve and raise the fatigue limit.
A sense OF increasing strength will
come as a reward Of effort. But
change Of occupation and surround
ings may also BE- required.
For a time at least the routine
which has consumed the energies
must be escaped from. Then the
nervous system RECEIVERS its tone
and again stores up a reserve fund
OF energy. In time the low blood
pressure comes up to normal. the
general flabbiness gives place to
firm muscles, and the old pep re-
turns.
II there is ancmia a Blaud's pill
should be taken after meals. The
daily cold hath will aid greatly in
the restoration OF nervous tone. II
alcohol in any form Is taken there
will be no Improvement.

= ONT; people are forever COM
planning Of being tired. At
the enI of the day they
feel close to their fatigue
limit. What is the matter with
these people. and how can they
reyuvcnate themselves?
We are speaking Of men and
women who have no organic dis
ease of any kind, and who are not
prematureIy old. In a given case
it is necessary to exclude both
these conditions before one can he
sure that It IL possib'" TO attain
restoration OF nervous tone.
We say "n-r"ous tone, Tor IL Is
the nerN Gus system which Is de-
pressed in most Of the cases.
The nervous depression may
come about as a consequence OF
long-continued expenditure Of en-
erSy which has not been balanced
by CORRESPONDING rest and nutri-
ton. The people who burn the
candle al both ends" belong in this
category.
Monotonous drudgery. associated
with anxie,y is pretty sure to
bring about u rundown condition..
and so also is too active Spc!al life,
with much excitement AMI late
hours.
Constant strain. in the course OF
which one has TO exercise continu-
Gus self-control. leads to nervous
conflict, which ultimately depress-
es the nervous system, perhaps TO
the point OF exhaustion. Trying TO
keep ones temper apd some one
elses as WELL" suppressing natural
inclinatioEs out of consideration for
others. and in other ways struggling
with the environment, may finally
fatigue the nervous system unGuly
and lead to breakdown.
Tired people have uHed up their
latent store OF energy and energy

from an accumulation OF effete mat
