THE DAILY RATION.


Scientists have carefully estimated tho
quantity of food required to sustain hu-
man beings. The average fixed amount Is
about 2oI2 ounces OF water-free food. con-
sisting of IL ounces fat. ) ounces dry al
bumen. Ii ounces dry starch. 1t is notice
able that the amount OF starch required is
almost four times greatest. This Is hs.
cause starch is the chief food In the mus
cles, ana also serves as the principal -Cei
for maintaining bodily heat. y diet OF flesh
food Is incapable of sustaining health and
strength fer q considerable time. because 1t
is lacking i'll fuel elements. Cereals. with
the addition of milk, eggs. nuts and fruit.
constitute the staples OF a scientific bill OF
fare. The cereal foods are less appreciated
than they Should he because of Imperfect
cooking. In the form of musnes. grams arc
d.iiicult of GigestlOn-tne starcn IS lmDer-
feCtly cooked, and is slowly acted upon by
the digestive fluids. When ueXtriniZed or

peciully in Toas,ed Wheat FLAKES, sweet

Wheat Flakes consists of thin. well-cooKed
complete grain of wheat. 1t not only stands
at the head of all cereal preparations as a
food for bones. brains, nerves anu muscles.

NEW INSURANCE RULE APPLIED.
Mercantile Schedule Adopted by Fire
Underwriters ut Alton.

NJ. f. Gent. who is in charge OF the South
ern Illinois Inspection Bureau at East St.
Louis. stated yesterday that he had re-
ceived orders from the National Board Of
Fire Underwriters to apply the new mer-
camille schedule to Alton. which will re-
quire the reTatIng OF all buildings and
stocks in what is termed the fire district.
The fire district is bounded by State street
to Fourth street on the west, runs north
along Ninth and Belle. and east from tne
beginning of Short street to 1i0U East Sec
ond. including the plant of the Illinois
Glass Company.
The principal difference between the new
schedule and the old will be the applica-
ton OF the Co-insurance clause of 50 and -
per cent on mercantile stocks. manufac-
turing plants, stores and office buildings.
