Why Little Folk. Are Big Ea.cr..

Why Little Folks Are Big Eatcrs.
1t has been laid down as a physiolog-
ical rule that the requirements Of adult
diet depend not on the weight of the
eater, but on the extent of his bodily
surface. In the case Of children this
rule is further modified. An infant
may weigh one-eigrternth as much as
a grown man. but its surface is more
than one-seventh as great. AS the first
requirement of the infants food is to
replace the heat that Is continually be-
ing lost by radiation from all parts Of
the body, the latter fraction determines
the needed proportion of nourishment
rather than the former. But IN the
case OF a growing child food is also
needed to supply the increase of bodily
weight. In all, an infants ration May
be five times as much as would be esti-
mated from its actual weight alone
