WEATING may be induced in variety
of ways. 1t is induced by external or
internal heat. 1t is induced by shame
- or embarrassment or fear 1t is induced
by physical exertion. 1t is not particu-
larly enjoyable process for the individual most
intimately concerned But those who know are
strong in their assurances that it is a salutary
business from the physical standpoint, freeing
from various impurities.
Heinie, to personify the German people by
name as good another. is perspiring freely,
these days The beads on his brow are many

tropic.
Internally he is little better off. The
neither regions have long-established reputa-

himself With it he serenades his cousins and
his uncles and his aunts 1t has become Ger

every indication of high and constantly rising
internal sultriness in Heinie's home. And so he

he is incapable of either. Maybe. now that he
