lmportanee Of Proper Diet.

The basis of all foods consists of at
least four essential elements; but it
does not follow that ali these Gle
ments will be present in equal pro-
substances Thus, weight for weight.
bread contains more carbon than
meat, and meat more nitrogen than
bread. These theoretical considera-
tons are horne out by observed
facts Modern researches have shown
that there is an intimate relation sub.

tity of food taken and the kind of
work or energy" into which It is
eventually transformed, Hence a
mans diet ought to depend in great
part on his work.

1T was Professor Hufeland's opinion l3w
4 that the limit of possible human life
- might he set down at two hundred
years, and this on the general principle that the
life of the creature is eight time the years of its
period of growth. That which is quickly formed
perishes, and the earlier complete development IS
reached the sooner bodily decay ensues
More women reach old age than men, but more
men attain remarkable longevity than women
Horned animals live shorter lives thar those without
horns fierce longer than ti1nid, and amphibious
longer than those which inhabit the air. The
