Brain Work and Food

NHHtJH JS4ffas4 Of t~NNfs4Aa1ft
 The notion that those who work ooly with the.r brain need less food than those who labor with their hands has long been proved 10 be faliacious. Mental labor causes greater waste of tissue than musca- lar. According to careful estimates, three hours of hard study wear ou, ,he body more than whole day of hard physical exertlon. Without phosphor oas, no thought" IS German saying :; and the consumption of this essential in gredienf of the brain increases in propor- tion to the amount of labor which this organ IS required to perform. The wear and tear of the brain are easily measured by careful examination of the salts m the liquid excretions. The importance of the brain as a working organ is shown by the amount of blood it receives, which is approximately greater than th2, of any other part of the body. One-fsf,h of inc blood goes io the brain, ,hcash the average weigh, IS only one-fortieth of that of the body. This fact alone would De sufficient to prove that brain workers require more food. and even better food than even mechanics or farm laborers.

fantry man could scarcely make his way
 To add 10 the terrors of the situation Lees whole wagon train, counting up nearly 800 vehicles, had by some idiotic command been pushed close in behind the batile-lines. Many of the wagons were so near that they were struck by the random bullets. and ye; Banks and Frank lin. who seemed 10 have general super vision while Lee was dolng the actual fighting, gave no orders 10 have the road cleared. It was not only impossible for reinforcements to come up n column. but with the knowledge ,ha, ,he federal position was dangerous and might oe lost any moment, the two commanders picked their way back and forth among the wagons without ordering one to move.
 There was no checking the confederate rush, and after the first federal line was broken # was every man for himself
 The beaten army rolled back in the wild est confusion, the bravest fighters of half an hour ago throwing away their guns, hAveTsacks and canteens as they fed
 The lev cool-headed ones were baffled by the nature of the ground Companies could not hang together and fall back in order because of the undergrowfh and the wagon train. Artillery had to be lef. behind for the same reason The wagon drivers made 10 e<Iort to gel their teams out, but deserted them at the first alarm. and directly the road and the woods were full of a shouting. yelling mob, with no other idea than to reach place of safety.
 A part of the Thirteenth corps was com ing up as reinforcement. At the frs. intimation of disaster they formed to check the retreat but as the tide came
