BETTER HEALTH
BY DR.. Herman Bundesen-

A MONG the many actual dis
n orders which can contribute
10 tiredness which is not due
20 mental attitudes, are high
blood pressure. hyperthToid-
ism, that is, excessive secretion
from the thyroid gland. and
hypothyroidiSm OF lack of thy
Toid secretion. Heart disease IS
a less common cause for con-
stant fatigue. Often an attack
Of influenza will leave per-
son tired for weeks or months,
but this. as d general rule,
clears up sooner or later. In
older people, occasionally. a
small hemorrhage into the brain
will occur, which may cause
some tiredness together with
mental confusion and other
symptoms.
The fatigue, however, in some
instances is, according TO DR..
Alvarez, a sign of nervous
breakdown or psychoneurosis.
In each instance, then, the
proper thing TO do is TO find the
cause behind the condition and
TO relieve il by such means as
are available.

Senator Magnuson demanded
to know what Maine had, except
a few Republicans. The debate
threatened TO become quite acri-
moniouS.
The President said that If
they were going 10 extoll the
vacation attractions of their
states he would like to put in &.

Senator Brewster mentioned,
In a very modest, offhand way,
that he had played a large role

"When I WAS governor. back
I'm 1926" he said, II conceived
the idea OF having all our license
plates bear the legend Maine

"It caught on and was very
popular. But shortly after the
plates came out l was visited by
a delegation OF undertakers.
They said they did not think IL
was very appropriate having
signs on their hearses saying
'Vacationland'."

interested. He asked Senator
Brewster how he had solved the
problem.

MANY persons who come into

such people want their vitality

there are many causes for IA

then il takes time 10 restore

Unfortunately. according TO
DR.. Walter c. Alvarez OF

stances the fatigue is not due
10 any actual disease. but is
often the result Of some mental

DEAR w. L:
VOUR parents are poSsesslve
L and refuse TO be weaned,
even after granting John first

You have neither children nor
careerist pursuits to effectively
justify a separate household or
independent existence. if they
insist on your coming home.
And, most important, you lack
the moral courage and nervous
stamina 10 do as you please and
take in stride their hue and cry
that would surely follow.
Thus ! foresee you could be-
come "a nervous wreck" a wor-
ried stranger TO peace Of mind.
If you tried 10 hold out against
them, at the expense of hav-
ing them guess that you con-
slider their society an affliction,
compared TO Johns or TO al
most any civil acquaintance's.
So why muddle your head try
ing TO devise brave alterna-
tives to going home that you
won't venture in any case?
Furthermore, if it's any help
TO you in going home. I think
a lonely young bride of indeci-
sive temperament is safer by
far under her parents wing,
during her bridegroom's pro-
tracted absence, than she would
be in a bachelor-girl setup,
which readily attracts too many
snares and complications that
should be avoided, if possible.
