be Judged by the customs of very primi-
tive races still extant, like the Australian
aborigines, insects, seeds, animals, roots
and, indeed. anything which could be
eaten were readily used. A theory exists
that the polar inhabitants of today are
the direct representatives of the glacial
epoch. II this is the case the food habits
of the Eskimo of North America and
other polar regions should provide data
regarding conditions in that prehistoric
age. The Eskimo from necessity lives
almost exclusively on animal food, the
energy yielding blubber and the other
fat, together with the meat, making
more or less well balanced diet
Studies along similar lines of the diet
of the American Indian, Orientals OF vari-
Gus types and other peoples over the
world have led DR.. Langworthy to his
opinion that in general the food habits
of the human race are an expression OF
the thousands of years of experience In
which man has sought to bring himseif
food habits have been determined, so
far as the materials selected are con-
cerned, by the available supply, man
being by nature an omnivorous animal,
desiring and thriving on as great va
riety of nourishing food as 1t is possible
to obtain.
He is convinced that no country today
is able to furnish and does furnish Its
inhabitants with as great q variety OF
these nourishing foods thar are required
to make up well balanced diet as the
United States. He is equally certain that
there is great room for Improvement, even
here. There is no more enthusiastic man

food were eaten in quantity. If he lived
inland, where nuts, wild roots and seed
bearing grasses were abundant, these
were used for food No one can doubt
also that in all localities birds and their
eggs and any other animal food that
was available was eaten.
DR.. Langworthy says there are three
great epoch's in mans diet, namely: The
early hunting period, in which he de-
pended entirely on a natural sapply OF
both animal and vegetable food; the cook
ing period. In which man still used a
natural supply of food. but prepared it
for use with the aid OF heat, and lastly.
the so-called "cibicultural,' or food pro-
ducing period-that is, the period in
which man has depended upon the cul-
tivation of both focks and herds and
field and garden crops to supplement a
wild supply of foods.
Fish are still obtained in great quanti-
ties from the seas and rivers by civilized
man. but with this exception he depends
almost altogether on food which is pro-
duced through his own efforts directed
in various lines Of agricultural and kin
dred pursuits.
