PHYSICAL FATIGUE Does It Increase tlie Susceptibility f* Contagious Diseases? It has long been accepted that physical the susceptibility fatigue greatly to infectious increases dis¬ eases. Two French physicians have recently been endeavoring by this means view. of experiments They subjected to confirm a num <ber of w%ite rats to severe exer¬ cise (running in a rotating cage) for ,four consecutive days, for seven hours each day. Eight of these tired out animals were in¬ oculated with attenuated anthrax virus, four animals in a normal condition of health being inocula¬ ted with the same virus at the same time, in order to ser v ve as a standard of comparison. The re¬ sult was, that seven of the eight animals belonging to the first series succumbed, while all the animals of the second series vived. The authors thus explain the curious tendency of' epidemics to break out among soldiers dur¬ ing great manoeuvres and on cam¬ paign, and they urge that many a a soldier is rendered suscepitible to disease by fatigue who would have otherwise escaped.

E>ut, on the other hand, a woma n’s idols are so milch a part of her life that when they are broken she mirth cannot snap her fingers, nor seetc as an avenue of escape. Women may possibly grow satiri¬ cal, but satire is only a form of humor. When life ceases to be in ideal, some way holy, or at any rate then woman’s creative fac¬ ulty ceases,” says the writer. “She ends where man’s talent as a hu¬ morist begins.” Every one a Fact.
