"Spring Fever" Season Is Here • ■ ‘'Spring fever.” when used to describe physical fatigue and lethargy, attacks most frequently and with greatest force at this time of the year, although it can come during any season.

BUTIUM PROM MAIN. 11 m um. im There is a reason for this, sotne j times the body is merely reacting i to the change of warm spring days ! after the long, cold wioter. Win ter weather, too. tends to keep a person indoors at sedentary pur suits and fatigue may be the body's way of demanding needed fresh air and exercise. Or. fa i tigue may bo caused by ioginess, ! the result of steady eating of rich. I heavy foods, usually consumed during cold months when the ap petite is sharpened. Lack of sufficient sleep and rest is. obviously, one of the most i-utrunon causes of fatigue. Some I of us foolishly think that we can ; so on and on, working and play ! ing to excess, without giving the j body a chance to recover. It’s true that the human body normal ly can recover quickly from ordi nary fatigue. But prolonged and excessive fatigue is dangerous be cause it causes an accumulation of waste products and acids in the body which are actually poison ous. Some people, suffering from chronic fatigue, resort to exces sive amounts of stimulants like coffee or patent medicines or pills which are supposed to give them "pep." This puts a further strain on the body, whipping it into ac tion past its endurance. The pois ons generated by fatigue are in creased, and what is left of the body’s natural resistance to illness and disease is completely broken down. Fortunately, for most of us spring fever is short-lived and we I are able to speed its depart ate with a little attention to healthful living habits. The solution to get ting rid of it may he as simple as eating better balanced meals, get ting a little exercise in the fresh air every day, or getting to bed on time Rut there is another type of fa tigue — prolonged, excessive ex | haustion for no easily explained reason—that should never be lightly dismissed as “spring fev er.” This kind of fatigue, fre quently associated with infection and disease, means that something is seriously wrong. The sufferer should go'tii'his doctor immedi ately for a complete physical ex amination, including a chest X rav Fatigue, coming at any season j of the year, can be dangerous to health and even life if it is ignor - ed and allowed to become chronic. It is a physical “safety valve,” an unmistakable signal that the body has had enough physical and men tal activity until it has a chance to recuperate. The best immedi ate treatment for ordinary, tem porary fatigue is rest. The first land best step%toward correcting i chronic, unexplained fatigue is a visit to the doctor for a complete medical checkup. -- Put — Moike do yez know why an Irishman hits the pepper box on the bottom an' a Dutch man hits it on the side?” Mike—Begorra, Pat, Oi don’t.

(International) Stale College Tips To the Housewife By Ruth Current Fabrics For Slip Covers: Many cotton fabrics selling in stores this spring are ideai for slip covers because they are washable, dur able, reasonable in price, and at tractive in color and design. Slip cover material represents a con siderable investment in money, labor, and time if homemade Thus, 't pays to choose fabric that not only suits the decorative scheme of the room but also wear's well, washes without shrinkage, and holds its color against light and laundering. Dry cleaning adds to the cost of slip covers so it pays to use fabrics which can be laundered at home if necessary. Closely woven fabrics hold their shape well. They are easy to wor k on and they tailor well and keep dust from sifting through to the furniture under neath. Loosely woven, sleezy fa brics which strc'tch, fray at edges and often pull out at seams, are difficult to make up neatly,and are a poor protection against dust. Some of the most serviceable cottons for slip covers are: perma nently glazed chintz, cretonne, plain or striped denim, galatea, rep and French ‘ticking. For a dressy appearance, lightweight tapestries, drapery sateen and da mask,1 ginghams and percales wash easily but often wrinkle more than heavier fabrics. They are good lightweight materials for slip covers but generally are only 30 inches wide, thus may not cut to as good advantage as wider ma terials. If fabric is not labeled as pre shrunk and fast color against light and laundering, it is wise to buy about three-fourths of a yard and launder it at home. Measure the fabric before and after launder j ing to see how much it shrinks. Note any loss of color. If shrink jable material still is toe choice, it pays to wash and iron it before i [making up into slip covers. Upper back and arms of chairs j j or lounges usually get the most 1 soil and wear. Interesting Bits Oi Business in U. S. —»-— A double-barreled onslaught on I this winter's wheat crop -- by | drought anti insects - may cut output 14 per cent, the Federal Crop Board believes. Even so. the crop will still be a big one -- a healthy 763,000,000 bushels .... Margarine make: s. fresh from a thumping victory over punitive taxes; are girding their loins for what one industry spokesman calls “a super-blitz »n butter.” The butter-substitute producers are already selling some 850,0^0, 000 pounds of their' product; as soon as the tax gouge <10 cents a pound on colored margarine, 1-4 cent on uncolored) officially ends (on July 1) they hope to boost sales to a billion pounds u year Still reeling from the body-blow suffered from the loss of its once booming silk trade, Japan faces a bleak foreign trade picture these days. To properly feed and clothe its 83,000,000 people the country needs to# import $1,200,000,000 worth of food, raw materials, and finished goods annually. Right now it’s falling about $300,000,- j 000 behind this figure .... Europe j meanwhile, is now producing 97 per cent of its prewar food output, but Washington observers are; worried about what will happen i after 1952, when the Marshall j Plan winds up Says EGA, signif J icantly: ” Even though agriculture targets are achieved bv 1952, food imports above the prewar average wfll be required to permit food consumption at the 1939 level.” Production will still have to climb another So it often pays to buy enough extra fabric for pieces to baste flat on bark and arms. These can be washed separately if necessary. Be sure the design of the extra piece and slip cover match so that these extras don’t show. G*W SEVEN STAR', tt*n4»4 whlikry.
