Under n special act of Congress two
scientific experts have been engaged In
investigating the subject of food AMI
the proper method by which the va
rlous articles should bc cooked. and
this Is embraced In the report made to
the department of agriculture. The
experts find that IN average man re-
quires tifty-nlne ounces of food per
diem ana that he needs thirty-scven
ounces OF water for drinking ana also
that he must have, for breathing, thlr.
ty ounces of oxygen. 1t appears that
Il man eats with his food just about rs
much water as he drinks. many of the
articles OF sO-called solid food being
largely composed of water. In order
to supply the fuel for running the body
ana to supply waste tissue q man ought
to swallow daily the equivalent OF
twenty ounces of potato. one ounce of
butter ana one quart of water. The
