DIET N STRENGTH.
Wonderful Endurance and Capacity
for Physical Labor of Rice
Fed People.

The stevedores and 'longshoremen
who struck awhile ago and were sup
planted by japanese have raised an
interesting question of racial capac-
ity to do hard work. AS will be seen
in our waterfront columns, these
men claim hat japanese must fail
as s~tevedores because their food
does not give them staying power.
The oriental, they claim, relies on a
pail of rice and a chunk of fish and
cannot, therefore stand as much
work as the white man. who eats
beef and potatoes and other staples
of Caucasian diet, says the Honolulu
Advertiser.
The argument is not one that will
impress plantation managers who
daily, monthly and yearly see the
rice-fed japanese coolie doing work
which the white man, in his selected
tasks, does not exceed in rough ag-
gregate of toll. Shall we say, does
not equal? No II needs to know
the %orientals very long without get
ting over the idea that a meat diet
is essential to the conservation Of
human strength in manual labor and
the repair of waste. Chinese and
japanese coolies work harder at
home than do American or European
field laborers. Chinese and Japan
csc soldiers endure the fatigue of
marching and fighting better than do
American or European troops, a fact
which has been attested in two wars.
In Japan two rice-fed coolies, draw
ing a 'rickshaw loaded with o. 2OU-
pound tourist, have been known to
trot 80 miles, only resting once on
the way. Tremendous burdens are
carried on the backs of Asiatics hour
in and hour out. Furthermore the
most enduring monuments of human
energy on earth, the Egyptian pyra-
mids and obelisks, We're built by
men who ate millet and rice. The
armies of Genghis Khan were fed ON
rice and tea; the Moors made their
campaigns on dates. People whose
principal food comes from the sea
are among the hardest on earth.

R OF
Danger from Infection by Eating
Food That Has Been Exposed
to Contamination.

In busy and crowded thoroughfares.
the practice of exposing food for sale
is open to the greatest objection. The
air OF such places presents a terrible
archaeological history and the con-
tamination of food sold in open places
becomes an easy possibility. Street
dust is full of tubercle bacilli from the
d%etestable habit of splitting; it may
also contain the microbes of pus, ma
lgnant oedema, tetanus and septi-
caemia. 1t is true that the faint de-.
posted on food exposed for sale may
be purged in the process of cooking
and heterogeneous may be de-
stroyed, although it has been pretty
strongly asserted that the cookery Of
fish in particular has not been effec-
tual in destroying the typhoid bacillus,
instances of typhoid fever having been
traced to contaminated yet cooked
fish, says London Lancet.
The avidity with which certain foods
would appear to absorb noNious odors
is we'll known. Milk is peculiarly liable
to take up unpleasant doors, and so,
also, is fish. The former is employed
when exposed in shallow trays to re-
duce the smell of paint in a house.
Fish cannot be placed in the same par
eel as coffee or other pungent smelling
article of food, as it so rapidly absorbs
the odoriferous principle.
Busy streets are seldom free from
offensive %efauvia, and it is reasonable
to conclude that these would easily
affect many articles of food exposed
to them. In u own knowledge quite
recently complaint was made that a
salmon tasted strongly of c~reosote.
The f~ishmonger might easily have been
charged with selling fish brushed over
with a powerfully smelling a%ntiseptic.
But it subsequently proved that the
Strand Gas usuaD was 'shp" and that
the stacks of black wooden bricks were
giving off a strong n%aphthalene odor
corresponding exactly with the taste
of the salmon bought in a Strand shop
at the very moment when the bricks
were being dumped down on the pave
ments. The fish were probably not
INJURIOUS to health. but possessed a
decidedly unpleasant taste.
Butchers meat might easily get
tainted in the same way. 1t has been
recorded that meat exposed to a cur
rent of tobacco smoke has proved
powerfully toxic, and this again af-
fords a further illustration of the dan
gers involved when food is indiserim-
inately left in contact with air of
doubtful purity. 1t is not desirable
that food offered for sale should be
exposed tO the frae inHux- of DIN fro~
the streets. If it must be presented
to view to attract customers it should
be exhibited behind a glass screen,
and adequate provision should be made
for ventilation with pure air.

VICTIM OF VENDET TT
GREwsoME FIND OF AN ITALIAN
LABORER'S BODY IN A BAR
REL AT CHICAGO
SUSPECTED PARTY IN CUSTODY
Bursting Out of a Barrel Head Leads
to Discovery, Quick Tdenti-
ficatiOn and an
Arrest.

CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-The body Of man
whose head had almost been severed
from his body was discovered in Hour
barrel on a strip of prairie near Rice
street and Western avenue today. The
victims feet were securely bound in
gunny sack and the body doubled, from
which it was apparent that his slayer or
slayers had experienced difficulty IN lore
ing the body into the receptacle. Beside
the wound in the neck there was deep
cash on the mans face.
The man is believed to be Antonio Ma
poli, who, with twenty-five other Italian
laborers reached Chicago last night from
Iowa Center, Iowa. The address SALIVA
dor and Luigi M. MICRO, 1929 Clark
street." was found on letter in the dead
mans coat On this firms books was
found the name Antonio Napoli,' and
his address was given as BOX 453, Liver
more Iowa"
Two workmen found the body and no.
titled the police. Chief of Police ONeill
said that the work indicated that more
than mere robbery, had been intended
and suggested that the man had been
the victim of some vendetta, as one dol
lar was found ON the victims body.
Laton Rocco Cantre, saloonkeeper,
identified the body as that of Antonio
Napol, whom he had not seen since Ma
poll left Chicago a year ago. lie saio
Napoli had probably gone to make the
rounds of his old haunts and had met
some emmy OF enemies.
The place where the barrel was found
has been used Icr years as a dumping
ground. Twelve years ago it furnished
another murder mystery Winch has never
been cleared up. The victim of this old
crime was Amelia Olsen, domestic.
After an investigation, detectives de-
clared that the murder had not been
committed where the body was found
but that the grswsome burden had been
brought to the spot on wagon. The
barrel had been fastened at both ends,
but in dumping it out one of the heads
had been knocked out.
Had it not been for this accident the
attempt to conceal the crime would have
been successful. The gunny sack In
which the dead mans feet were tied
bears the name Dattoli. An Italian fruit
peddler, Vincenz Dattol, has been arrest
ed by the police, who found in his shop
several barrels and bags similar to those
in which the body was found.
