THE PROBLEM OF FLESH
DR.. Sherman Explains Why Some
44re Fat a., Some 4re Thin.

Why Goes one person grow fat and another thin
on the amount OF food? This is a question
eften asked. and it parity answered yesterday
afternoon Teachers College by DR. Henry c.
Sherman.
Take TWO men OF average weight. tall and
thin and the other snort and stout. and feed them
tie average mans ration" said DR.. Sherman, and
IRE thin man will get thinner and the fat man
later The reason that the food requirement is
determined by the weight. but by the amount
Ct active tissue possesses. Now, the larger
the weight OF fat the smaller the amount OF active
Tissue. The thin man, weighing the the
stout man. has large amount Of active tissue
snd needs larger amount of food even to keep
MIN as fat as he is The food requirement also
depends the amount OF surface than on
the weight and the fat has relatively less sur
face than The thin one. The fstter he gets the
more nearly he approaches the dimensions Of a
sphere. and the sphere has the smallest surface
known 70 geometry
Another reason why large eaters continue 70 keep
Thin, according 10 Or sherman. is that they are
subject digestive disturbances. which take away
the appetite temporarily and this abstinence
leroelances excess at other times.
The majority Of people said the lecturer. eat
more than they require. and offset The excess by
enforced abstinence during periods OF digestive dis

The selection Of cood.
When the stomach has been educated" he said,
to deal with food q a particular time it do
j. better ~ that time than al any other
When The appetite has not been perverted it may

lecturer stated and by way Of illustration he cited

meals for vo DAYS and had the food value Of each
