day, but it is extremely doubtful,
whether so much can be oxidized and
certain that in the oxidation OF any
thing like this amount dangerous
degree Of acid intoxication would be
involved. During starvation there IS
also a considerable consumption of
proteid tissues. The very slight
danger in civilized life of any emer-
gency necessitating lack of food does
not warrant the carrying of more
than moderate amount OF adiposs
tissue.
G. That deposition of fat or in
crease of weight beyond the normal
standard is a gauge Of health or q
favorable prognostic in tuberculosis
or any other disease.
Z. That a genuine and rapid
diminution of weight can be secured
by dieting in obesity. Many fat per-
sons maintain their weight and per-
form considerable mental labor and
exercise moderately on half or less
of the standard diet. How they do
it will not be considered here. Fo"
a few days the excess Of elimination
over the intake of water and the
clearing out of the alImentary canal
may cause a rapid loss of weight
After this, except by exercise which
causes a breaking down of proteld
tissues, it is doubtful whether gen
uine reduction of weight can be car
ried beyond $50 grams (about half
a pound) a day. A genuine gain of
weight, at least in the sense of de-
position of fat, may proceed for
some time at double this rate.
8. That a carbohydrate free diet
should be continued more than a few
days, even in diabetes. About eigh-
ty grams of carbohydrates day
must be given to prevent acid intox-
ication.
8, That obesity, diabetes, lean
ness, litheamia, ETC., can be treated
simply by superficial dletetic indi-
cations and contraindications.
10. That anaemia is, unless ex-
ceptionally, an iron starvation that
may be treated successfully simply
by giving iron Anaemia usually
develops while there is plenty of
iron in the food, and while the nor
NAL body can assimilate iron from
inorganic salts or even from the
metal, anaemia is not often bene-
fitted by administering an excess.
II. For most purposes the best
form of iron is meat. Iron Is also
found in many fresh vegetable foods.

Thirty-nine False Ideas
About Food and Its Fads

Oh, dietl dietl what sins against
proper eating are perpetrated in thy
namel Some such refrain is the
burden of the chorus OF remou-
STRANGE which many physicians are
uttering against the ever increasing
list of food fads.
one Of the protesting doctors, an
expert on dieteics, enumerates not
less than thirty-nine of these fads
and notions which according to his
Judgment are quite as false as they
are popular. These are the notions
he describes in the Dietetic and
Hygienic Gazette as false:
1. That the average American
eats too much Many do; but many
others, leading solitary and monot-
onous lives and thus lacking the
stimulus Of appetite, as well as
others on account of false ideas of
economy or of the benefit Of abstem-
tousness, eat too little.
2. That nourishment can be con-
densed Fat yields a little over
twice The number of calories a gram
that carbohydrate and proteid do.
The maximum OF fat that can be as
simulated without great proportion
ate waste is $50 grams. In addition
enough proteid and carbohydrate
must be given to make 419 grams Ia
order to yield $500 calories, fair
allowance for an adult. No amount
of pressure can condense these o.
ganic substances into much less
Volome than a cubic centimeter for
a gram. SO that the minimum ration
will amount to approximately four
fifths of pound or of pint.
3. That milk or any other single
fOodstuff can be considered COM
plete aliment for an adult in the
sense of containing the three organic
constituents proteid, carbohydrate
and fat-in proper proportions, even
IL we ignore the necessity of having
variety of proteids and inorganic
materials That health can be main
tanned or regained without the stim-
ulus of a variety of foods.
4. That oyereating furnishes
reserve of strength on the analogy Of
running up a bank account. Prob
ably not more than ten to twenty
grams Of proteid (about one-flfth to
ono-third of days rations), 200 TO
800 grams of carbohydrate Zone
half to one days ration) can be thus
accumulated. An excess of any kind
OF food is laid down as fat to n
large degree, and as much as 500
grams Give to ten days ration) NAV
be thus accumulated in single day
5. That fat is an efficient form
of reserved energy. theoretically,
nearly 300 grams might be used in

in food value. Used in moderation,
say 100 to $50 grams a day, sugar
is one of the cheapest and best
forms Of nourishment for the prod
uction of energy. Even when not
digested the products of decomposi-
ton in the alimentary canal, like
those of catebolism, are less injur-
lous than those derived from fats
and proteids.
10. That the use Of sugar tends
to produce diabetes
IA. That fruits. nuts, desserts,
etc, are unimportant ingredients Of
the diet One-fifth to one-half Of
the ordinary civilized diet consists Of
good things" A large piece of pie,
serving of ice cream, nuts, ETC., often
yield 400 calories, about one-sixth of
the days ration.
Is. That fish contains an excess
of phosphorus or brain food. The
phosphorescence of fish is due to
beginning putrefaction and has
nothing to do with PHOSPHORUS.
Meats and various vegetable food
stuffs contain as much as or more
phosphorus than fish.
16. That vegetables consisting of
leaves, stalks, ETC., or fruits which
are very watery and not sweet can
contain much nourishment.
II. That ordinary vegetable
foods contain appreciable quantities
of fat. Excepting olives, almost the
only vegetable foods rich in fat are
nuts (though not necessarily So
called, as the cocoa beam, a dense
seed coat being necessary to the re-
tention of fat.
IS. That clam broth, bouillon or
any clear soup or solution of meat
extract can contain enough nourish-
ment to sustain life. The best of
the last contain about per cent %
proteid.
10. That proteid can be extract
ed from meat by boiling Beef tea is
about equivalent to egg tea; that is
to the water in which an egg has
been poached
90 That one cereal, as oats or
wheat, is materially more nourishing
than another, as rice or corn.
21. That one meat (allowing for
differences in fat and waste, for
specific tendencies to infection, as
for pork to trichinosis. for sapro-
phytic decomposition as in sea foods
transported long distances, and simi-
lar extrlnsic conditions) differs ma
terially from another.
%. That vegetarianism or any
similar hobby is conducive to robust
health.
%. That, after securing reason
ably fine communion and insaliva-
tion of food prolonged mastication
should be made cult.

healthy person requires more than
half an hour at the table. Dawdling

signated to hear objections to the pro-
posed paving, vigorously opposing use
OF asphalt upon the city streets, in
view of the rapid disintegration of as
