FOOD and Work.

It is found that hard work is best performed
under liberal supply OF flesh food. This
does not cOnduce TO obesity. Ii nourishes the
muscles and gives energy 20 the body What
meat Is TO the man. corn is TO the horse. The
Arab SAYS Donders never lets his horse
eat grass and hay to safety. It's chief food is
barley, and IN the wilderness Il gets milk. and
If great effort Is required even camels flesh.
The horses which IN Sahara aroused for hunt
ing ostrlches are kept exclusively On camel's
milk and dried beans" To sum ~. science
intimates that liberal supply of
meat and fat IS necessary 10 maintain muscles
IN good condition for work, and the result
of experience Is to confirm it, As far as mus

can never compete IN economy with steam.
