An exchange calls attention to the
fact that the scientific experiments
proving that man can live on fifteen
cents worth Of food per day have been
generally misunderstood. They have
been taken to mean that fifteen-cent
meals are enough for man engaged in
hard physical labor. The experimenters
have all been men Of sedentary habits.
Such men require moderate diet. The
tissues are not exhausted as by hard
physical labor. The man who heayes
clay out Of ditch or who shovels the
coal into the firebox consumes tissue
and 1t must be put on again by food.
Mr.. Rockefeller gets along with crack
ers and milk, but If he carried hod
he would soon fail on such a diet. The
sad part Of this whole discussion is the
discrepancy between the incomes Of the
men who flourish on moderate diet
and the incomes OF the men who must
have rich red corpuscles in their blood

Galveston is not to be abandoned. The
people Of the stricken city have taken
heart. There is no longer any talk of
giving up the site to the winds and
waves and moving to a more secure sit
uaton. In one way this change Of
mental attitude is gratifying. In an
other it is to be regretted. 1t is pleas
ant to know that the Galvestonians are
recovering from the catastrophe which
overwhelmed them. 1t is not reassuring
to learn that they mean to tempt disas-
ter once more by rebuilding their city
on sandbar. What has happened once
may happen again. There is no assur-
ance, nor can there be any, that the re-
cent disaster may not be repeated next
year or next month or next week. The
chances are against 1t, but it is the un-
expected that happens. So far as has
been learned, it is not contemplated to
raise the general level of the city, nor
would such process remove the dan
ger, though it would diminish 1t. A city
built upon the sand of a peninsula, with
bay on one side and the ocean on the
other, can never be accounted secure
from the ravages Of floods and tidal
waves. Heaping up sand adds little to
the security Of the situation. Neverthe-
less, it is clear that Galveston will
tempt fate again. Civic pride conjoined
with financial considerations will ig-
more danger which, though real, is re-
mote. The city will once more rise from
Its ruins and may in time attain its for
mer proportions. 1t is safe to predict,
however, that very large proportion
of those who endured the horrors Of the
storm will never again be residents of
Galveston. The population of the re-
constructed city will largely be made
up of those who, not having faced the
food, know nothing OF its terrors.
