FOOD IN
Theory That Mnlnutrition Prciis-

=
poses to the Disease.
Nitrogen starvation in the tubercu-
lous is naturally suggested by the fact
that such great improvement results
from forced feeding with nitrogen. 1t
is known that tuberculosis is specially
prevalent among the underfed Of the
Sums and that it Is quick and fatal
among the lower races which are most.
~ rice fed and starved for nitrogen.
1t is not a disease Of the we'll fed, and,
though alcohol is regarded as the chief
cause of the susceptibility to the in
lection, 1t must be remembered that
heavy drinkers are very likely to neg
lect their nitrogen nutrition. They may
ever be fat, vet in a condition of seri-
GUS malnutrition, like our fat sugar
fed babies raised on condensed milk
or the dreadful baby foods SO highly
charged with sugar.
Stiller recognizes a condition of con
genital atonia as the basis for the hab-
titus phthisicus-an asthenia due to
faulty material of the tissue cells-but
1t Is safe to look for the ultimate cause
In early malnutrition, perhaps prenatal.
To be sure, there is a slight reaction
against too great a forcing Of nitrogen
foods in incipiant tuberculosis, but it
Ia yet true that quite large amounts
are still considered necessary In this
stage.-American Medicine.

Usher feels as though he has drawn a
prize in the lottery when Il rea! hit is
secured. There is some doubt az to the
biggest selling hit on record, as condi-
tons are constantly changing, and at
the present time Il song or instrument
tai number to be n hit must sell in the
neighborlood of 10000 copies. while
a few years ago If Il publication sold
100000 copies it was acknowledged a
bit. This Is owing to strong co:Hpoti-
ton and largely to the reduction in the
price of sheet music. When sheet mu-

sheet music retails for $ and % cents

song must sell many thousand copies
to mean great profits to publisher and
composer. Then. again. in the days of
fifty cent sheet music the public would
accept a song ana cling to it for months
or possibly years. but today a song or
instrumental number may become a
hit and he shclved In less than three

popular songs such as ''Evervbody
