exactness Of detail. The grave which has

Food and Morality.

Prof. F. T. Miles, of the faculty OF
the University of Maryland, delivered
a lecture to n large audience of young
men recently, on Food and Diges-
tion.' In the course of his lecture
Prof. Miles in speaking Of the effects
of an insufficient quantity OF food,
said: 1.-The fat disappears first. then
the muscles waste away, and finally
the bones come through the skin. The
brain, the spinal cord and the nerves
are nonrished TO the last Like king
in a beleaguered city to whom his loyal
subjects give up their food, the nobler
organs are longest nourished. In
starvation there is not simple hunger
of the stomach. but hunger OF the
whole body 1t is not strange that
when hunger presses on people they
will do strange things. 1t produces
insanity, and they have been driven to
eating what has been called strange
fesh;' that is to cannibalism. There
are millions of people who have not
enough to cat. 1t is at the bottom OF
anarchy. The police may give them a
loaf Of bread, but the whole body is ill
nourished, and restless feeling re-
suits. Not much can be done with the
grown-up people of the criminal
classes. but the child criminal comes
first. The criminal classes are called
dirty, lazy and ugly. OF course they
are. They are dirty because they have
no spare heat to let go; lazy. because
the muscles arc weak and nature tells
them to keep still when hungry.
You would be astonished to know how
much of the beauty of the fairest
women is made up of fat. The crim-
inal classes are ugly becauge they have
no fat. How could child whose mus
cles and nervous system have been
partly starved be expected 10 have all
| the sympathics and instincts of high
er class of society An everyday Sab
bath-school with breakfast before the
lesson would be a capital thing for
poor children. Some say the poor
themselves arc to blame for their con-
dition by living too luxuriously. Ono
of the most intense cravings of the
Greely Arctic party was for sweet
meats. Tea and coffeo do more good
than harm. They stimulate not only the
brain, but the activities OF the whole
body. There will be great mission
| to the poor some day to see that they
get enough good food. baltimore Sun
