FRESH MEAT NECESSARY TO LABoR.-In the
elaborate paper by DIR Londs, of the Imperial
Academy of Medicine, Paris, recently read before
It's members, he lays 1t down a fundamental
principal In the philosophy of diet. that the use
of fresh meat daily is necessary to the health of
the working classes, although he admits that
persons leading a comparatively idle life may do
very we'll on fish, poultry, and other lighter forms
of nourishment. In support of his opinion he
produces number of facts, of which the follow.
ing is one: The Rouen Railway Company of
France having conceded the working of their line
to English engineers the latter brought over
band of English laborsrs, who performed one-
third more work daily than could be got out of
the French laborers. The latter were put on meat
diet. similar to that of the English workmen, and
in q short time were able to do as much labor. If
the conclusion of the doctor be correct 1t becomes
matter of political well as of individual econ-
omy, that the price of fresh meat shall be reduced
low enough TO allow laborers to eat animal food
otherwise the wealth OF the nationis in danger Of
being diminished one.third
