Diet May Change Constitutions

The ordinary person eats a few more
than thousand meals during year,
and II living to the age OF forty years
consumes not less than forty tons of solid
and liquid aiiment. This great amount of
nourishment serves the twofold purpose
or maintaining the warmth of the body
and OF repairing the waste Of tissue caused
by exercise.
Many OF the lower forms of living be-
ings absorb their food directly from the
surrounding world without first subjecting
1t to any particular changes. Plants alb
sorb gases from the atmosphere and thus
build up their parts. These gases. prev
ious to absorption. undergo. no treatment
by digestive fluids secreted by the plant.
Man resembles the plant. hlasmuch as I'M
portant articles OF nutrition are received
directly from the inorganic world. but
certain physical and chemical changes af-
feet the food before 1t Is fitted for absorp-
ton.
There Is no doubt that the whole con-
stitution of the body may. be changed by
diet alone. BY 1t the nuids may be thin
ned or condensed rendered mild or acrid
coagulated or diluted to almost any re-
gree. Even brief attention to these things
shows how directly health depends upon
proper regimen. 1t Is not an easy matter
to ascertain the exact amount OF food
proper for every age and constitution. for
II was never intended that mankind should
measure and weigh their food. We are
taught by nature when We have enough
but the quality of the food we use merits
especial consideration
To wander through a great city's mar
ket-piace In company with a man skilled
in the chemistry OF foods is means of
acquiring much interesting and valuable
information concerning what we eat.
Few In all that crowd OF eager buyers
who throng every nook and alley-way
stop to think that steak of q light red
color and having white fat Is the ten
