Various Causes For "Ha bitual Fatigue"

»y Herman N. Bundeun, M. D. THERE is nothing like habitual fatlsm- to tako the joy <>m ot lit*'. With energy for even the simplest task* lacking, there is no sext for work, no pleasure in recreation. This feellns of being always hi the end of your rope may come from many different causes, it may be a simple case of working too long and sleeping too little It may result from a dietary defictancy. i»ometim<-*, so-called ueuras then la or nerve exhaustion may be responsible. In a number of in•lances, the cause of overtiredness is found tn a lessened amount of sugar in the blood. Low Blood Sugar Dr*. Samuel C. Kartan and Clarence Cohn of the Medical Corp* of the United State* Army made a study of 100 patients who were sunering from fatigue, and ,n nine of these the symptoms were caused by a low blood sugar or hypoglycemia. The main complaints were fatigue and dlxziness. The fatigue! from which th*** patient* with, jiypoaUrcemla suffered was not continuous but occurred at definite tisfes such as cm getting up in the morning or several hours after eating One of the patients had headache aad pain in the chest a vary morning before cuing. Ail of the patient* complained of diasy spells of varying degree, and in a few there were faintins at»cks wag tatgrestißg to nn(O that most of the patients also cfasx hAtuLUAA they were

Our City Plant: To keep up with present and future demands for electric current, the City Light aud Power Plant will have to be expanded and enlarged, officials have determined. Engineers have been employed to prepare plans for the Installs tlon of a 10.000 KWH turbine, hollers and auxiliary equipment, designed to Increase electrical production. It Is a good omen, for it once more proves that Ihu-alur is growing and that Its Indus!Hal plants are expanding. <>ur industries use approximately io penent of all the electric energy made at the plant and last year the city purchased 3,92H,000 KWH's from the ISC line to meet local demuuds. equal to about ten percent of Its entire production With the contemplated improvement of the plant, talk Is again revived ultout the building of un entire new generating unit al a site somewhere southeast of the city ami iu the proximity of railroad trucks and the St. Mary's ' river. Thia thought Is not new. Fortner city officials have given thought •<> it Engineers have from time to time mentioned that economy and efficiency of operation could In* Improved in a modern plant, where I ample water supply for the boilers ’ and railroad facilities for unload- ! lug coal would tend to reduce costs and promote economical op- ' oration. While coal and noise are necessary twins in the operation of industrial plants ami utilitius, property owners in the vicinity of North Third street, would not object to removal of the power plant from the heart of the resid- , etitlal district. , City officials are cognizant of ) the possibilities of such a venture and consulting engineers, frequently have outlined the feasibility and praticability of such a step. Largely. it is a matter of financing. ) The change-over would require time, probably five years or more. Then the Third street building could he used as a sub-station, revamped into a community center or in some way tied in with Water Works park. Citizens should study the proposal and help determine what is best for Decatur to do. We must look to the future and this town is not going backward. Wo must ' keep up with the ground-swell of ! growth and all help in building a better community. A modern, efficient, municipal light and power plant is one of the best assesta a town can have. This has been proved here In the past 20 years, for we have industrial plants that employ several thou and persona. That means payrolls and homes.

| hungry unit the condition of all of them improved after eating. Exercise. in practically all of the ca-c*. made th" symptom* worse. Use of Atropine It has been reported that person* with hy;>ogly<’emla may be benefited liy the use of the drug known art atropine, taken under the physician’s direction*. However, o-veral of the patient*, when given this preparation three time* a ilay for seven day*, reported no improvement. In fact. In one it watt reimrted that the condition became worse. It is possible to bring on symptoms in these patient* by giving them injections of in*ulin, which I* the o-crotion from the pancreas. Insulin ha* the effect at lowering the blood Hiigar. A diagnosi* of hypoglycemia Is not too difficult to make. A teat known as the sugar tolerance test Is employed, in carrying out thin test, an injection of glucose is given Into a vein. Then the amount of sugar In the blood Is determined at one-half-hour intervals for eevi era! hour*. In those case* where there is low blood sugar, it Is found that the blood sugar does not rise as It should, but instead rises for a time and then decreases. Patients with low blood augur fortunately can be benefited by giving them diets rich in protein foods such as meat. milk, eggs and fish, as well m plenty of starches Some of the protein is changed taio sugar in Ua body.

CHAPTER FORTY-ONE I WHEN he went by. Corbett saw that the door of Drawing Room A waa ajar, the room vacant and littered with wreckage. In a welter of dishes and glasses, a thermos jug lay dented and bloodied. The torn shade hung askew. The window was cracked, the towel on the sofa spattered with gore. He stopped. What had happened in there was written in shards of china and glass. “The prisoner put up a tight. Tried to escape.** Through his mind flashed the thought that perhaps this had been planned, just this way. Those swine might wreck a train, kill civilian*, just to save one of their own. “Cripes!" be thought “I'm not working for U. P. That was two years ago." Yet while he stood theie, impatient with himself tor stopping and gawking, his mind wrote the scene out in a newspaper lead; “Sabotage was hinted today as the cause of the wreck of the Florida express, Palm Queen, when it became known that a Nazi prisoner of war in the custody of F. B. L men m a drawing room on the tram bad attempted to make bi* escape during the excitement attending the crash . . ." He thought: “1 ought to be phoning a story. 1 ought to be in a booth, calling up someone about Hus .. For a iong moment he stood in the drawing room dootway, hovering between the man he bud been and Uie man that he was. “Nuts," tie concluded. Tin IN this, Let someone else write it up." And as he creased over the couplings between the Pullman and lounge car, tor the first time since Pearl Harbor, ins mind was perfectly clear. He was a man going forward to do a job, to do what be bad to. He was in it, all ths way in. He was nd of coniiuiou and doubt, ot the questions, the two that bad narrowed mm utter each flight; “What is it lor? Why did it Happen to me?" That was lb* torment. Not fear ot death. Not guilt or killing. But that be hadn’t crossed over, out lot mmscit into ide. Now, in the chaos ot a wrecked passenger train, be bad come unexpectedly, stumbled, through three utile words, on his answer. "I'M IN : llllsi. • Buheruig was life. StrugI gie was Ute. Destruction was uie. Even death was. You’re aUve. You’re m 1L You take what it give*. You do lbs best that you can. There was a man in the lounge car. Corbett recognized tlaucomeyer, wandering trom one overturned chair io another, fussily trying to set them up straight in their rows. When be saw Corbett, he complained petushiy; "J can't bnd a chair to su down on." Corbett laughed. Hu laughter, he knew, must sound mad m that shamble* He said; “Why don't you gel oft, Mr. fUucbmeyer? There's a pip ot a story out Uiere." “You blasted fool! What do 1 care for a story 7 I'm in this. I'm tired. I'm hurt. 1 need someone io lake care ot me," • • • At first you couldn't see the wreck for its, spectators. a* tai as Corbett's eye* ranged, phalamus were solidly massed under umbrella mushrooms; School kids in mackinaws, carrying briefcapsA, housewives with cad sweaters on house- cleaning dresses, men with coal cellars turned up to hat brim*. They stood silent, except when

la stretcher went through. Then a weird sound, part squeal, part sigh, broke from the people in front, rippled back through the crowd. Where they'd all come from God only knew. The crash had occurred just outside th* city. Below, beside Uie tracks, were occasional tenements, yellow brick "tax-payers," the dingy red brick and grayed glass of a factory. The road was congested with cars. Corbett caught the white streak ot an ambulance, beard the wad of its siren. The people kept coming as though the city bad opened and spewed them all out. He could see them down in the street, gesturing "hurry-Mp, bere-it-is" to others behind them, climbing the embankment, mashing the mire into wax, Utting their muddy galoshes over tbs rails. Policemen m glistening slickers kept them back from the Rahn Queen, clearing a lans tor the stretchers, a semicircle tor cameramen and reporters, a tall priest, black bat brim soaked down to turned-up black overcoat collar, pinched nos* blue with cold, cut through th* crowd and strode toward lb* train.

They were still taking people out oi Uie diner. Corbett could see Uie bent double figures ot men at the rim ot the upsimited plullorm, maneuvering a shrouded ugure down to a stretcher.
