comes from Office workers. who say that
they are so tired at the end OF the day
that they have little energy to go out at
night, and that whVn they do they look
50 worn out that the evening Is no
pleasure.
Any sort of temporary stimulation is
= good thing at such a time II isn't
true that the reaction from temporary
forced stimulation is greater fatigue
than before, because the evenings en-
tertainment will probably be. restful and
relaxing. and the only necessary thing
IS TO get over the temporary exhaus-
ton from the days work
A remedy that never fails is To get
into hot bath as soon as you go home
and II you are very nervous and ex-
