THAT TIRED FEELING

some years sgo s brilliant young man found that he seemed in be tiring rather easily; that before the dsy was much more thnn half over, hs would have to lie down and rest. His friends advised him that he was working too hard, and that he needed change and rest. He had an idea that there might be some infection in his system and had an X ray taken of his teeth, and his throat examined by a specialist. The dentist and physi- cian found teeth and throat free from infection. He was not con- stipated although he was losing a little weight; he had no cough and naturally didn't suspect any lung trouble. However, he began to take his temperature at 8 o'clock in the. morning and 4 o'clock in the after- noon. He found that his morning temperature was about 965 and afternoon 99.5, a. difference of three degrees. whereas in normal individuals the difference is usual- ly from l to 2 degrees. l-le consulted a physician who made a thorough examination of the chest, and found that his great fatigue or tiredness was due to tuberculosis. Now most people when they think about tuberculosis, have in mind a severe wasting of the body,

NOTABLE ANNIVERSARY

The mmemoraticn this week of the 75th anniversary of the founding of Notre Dame Academy is an event of interest to all our citizens. Founded by Bishop Mac- Donald through the liberality of the Hon. Daniel Brennan, the Convent of Notrs Dame was completed in i857, and on Sept. 25th of that year four Sisters of the congregation of Notre Dame arrived in Charlottetown and immediately entered upon the work of educating the Catholic children of the city. Soon their class rooms were filled to over- flowing and later on it was found necessary to build on a larger scale. The work has gone on, in-

tion the principal criticisms ad- vunced against previous administra- tions were with regard to finances, and even the solvency of the city was questioned. One might assume mat the first steps necessary to ascertain the accuracy or other- who of these (rriticisrrls would be thé "appointment of an eff;cient pro- fessional accountant, to go into the city's finances and ascertain their present position.

The extra food many more yggrg 0g mimosa, eaten, creates wastes that must be handled by the blood, Just the same as the wastes that are manu- factured in the muscles when hard work is done. Thus you see over- eating can tire you just the same as overwork.

So remember the causes of that tired feeling; getting tired too easily. It is always due to some poison in the system-infection or wastes.

The industry, we are informed, began at Yarmouth in 1761 with the construction of the “James", a. small schooner of twenty-five tons. It developed up to 1884- at that port and around the entire southwestern portion of the Province. In that year the “County of Yarmouth", a full-rigged ship of 2154 tons, first turned her questing bowsprlt toward the sea. Before the close of the Eighteenth century,
