RYrENTioN OF BODY WASTES

Although there is no reason to imagine that any noxious or harmful substance IS ever aD- sorbcd from tho colon large bowel Into thc ey,tem or the blood, hs the quacks would nave prospective customers believe, still we must admit that body wastes arc sometimes too long retained in the blood and when this happens you're sick But not in the way you have been taught to think. Rather you arc sore, lame ana stiff following the strenuous cnort, cxcrcisc, game or work. This condition might thlr!y Dc called "autointoxication," since the products com bustion of fuel (gycogen. animal starch' blood sugar. in the muscle to provide inc eh. crgy expended in the effort are body wasteS ana if not removed promptly from the muscle ana from the blood stream that picks them up they act as p0isops. During muscular contra ction oxidation takes place at il fast rate. Not only the gycogen or sugar is oxldized or burned into tactic acid com pounds and carbon dioxide tcarbonlc hcid gas) but probably some protein or hitrogcnous material of the muscle cells or hbreB is oxi- dizcd. At least some physoogists believe the products of incomplete combination of protein material contribute toward the state we call fatigue
 Up to fl certain limit. which depends on the ndi ,duals condition or physical training. the circulation and respiration both respond to the demands of the muscular effort and more and more oxygen and fresh fuel (blood sugar. is delivered to the iaboring muscle and the re- turn circulation carries away the Increasing hc- emulation of combustion products.
 But sooner or later comes the time when the waste products (actic acid compounds, carbon dloxide, amnoacids) pile up in and about the muscle. and that stage constitutes fatigue. The irfita bty of the muscles or its power to con practically paralyzed, if the effort is continued desperately. Probably this explains some dro" nings which are ascribed to "cramps"
 If the effort Ia not too long continued, the circulation can catch up on the work or carry Ing away the accumulated products of com bustion, while the worker rests or sleeps though any athlete knows this natural recup- erhton proceeds faster if q rest is taken with Iuf q A fl nH m nd Fu e exercise resumed within eight hours for q few minutes. This is more effective than mere mas sage or passive manipulation in preventing or relieving the unpleasant effects of fatigue.
 From time 10 time we hear rumors of the discovery that fatigue can Dc idcfnitely post pohed by taking doses of potassium phosphate or something of the kind. Also that some pro- lessor has discovered anhhtidote or in anti toxin which immunzes one against fatigue. Tho answer to these rumors is horse feathers. Rest in Inc remedy for fatigue Increased absorp- h1n Of oxygen is the best preventive. TO in- erchbe your absorption of oxygen all you have to do ls take Il reasonable amount of exercise every dny.
