William Neat, the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Neat, OF 101 North Garfield ave-
nue., died yesterday morning from lock-
jaw.
A week ago last Friday the boy was
playing with an old toy pistol which
was loaded with blank cartridges, and
while lingering it the pistol was dis
charged and the contents entered the
finger of the left hand. The wound
was dressed and nothing further
thought of the affair until day or two
ago, when, despite all that the pyhsi-
clan could do, lock-jaw set in Sunday.
Every few minutes the boy went into
convulsions, and his agony was terri
bic to behold.
Funeral Director Tague will have
charge of the funeral, which will prob
ably occur on Thursday. Further par
ticulars will be published later.

FOOD AND THE SEXES.
The Male Human Needs to Eat More
Than the Female.

Ehe Male human NeeuB LIat nko1o
Than the Female.
According to writer in the Lancet,
the male human needs more food than
the female not only on account of his
larger stature, but also because he Is
the more katabolic of the two. The
man tends to eXpend energy and the
woman to store it up in the form or
fat; he burns the faster. This sexual
difference shows itself in the very
blood. The man has q larger percent
age of chromocytes than the woman,
showing that he needs proportionate-
ly larger quantity Of oxygen in order
TO maintain his more active comDuS-
ton, q fact which one may associate
with his comparative freedom from
chlorosis. Moreover, weight for weight,
his pulmonary capacity is greater than
that Of the woman whose smaller re-
spiratory need Is further shown by the
facility with which she can without
discomfort diminish her breathing
power by means Of the corset.
"The great contrast between the
metabolic activity Of the two sexes
continues the writer, was forcibly
brought home to me by military dis
play given by a troop Of dusky anna
IONS, with whom were also few male
warriors The women, in spite Of their
daily exert'c7s. were all rounded and
plump, some very much so, no single
muscle showing through the skin, and
it was noticed that their movements,
though full of grace, lacked energy
and go The men, on the other hand,
were spare, their muscles standing out
plainly under the shiny skin, and they,
In further contrast with the women,
displayed a truly amazing agility,
bounding about and whirling round In
a most astounding fashion. The wonl-
en-, In short. were essentially anabolic,
and the men were katabolic. 1 may
here draw attention to the fact that
men are apt to be larger meat caters
than women. just as they are, possibly
in consequence of this very fact, more
prone to drink alcohol and to smoke
tobacco"
