Meat Eaters and vegetaTianS
Ride Their Hobbies.
French Writer insists That Abstinence
From Flesh Food Improves ones
Resistance to Fatigue-Ex-
periments Made.

The recent experiments to discover
the effect of diet on physical endurance
are regarded by writer in the Revue
ScientifiQue as clearly indicating that
ertire or partial abstinence from meat
greatly improves ones resistance to
fatigue. He remarks that there is al
ways a lively contest on between meat
eaters and vegetarians, but all question
OF theory or self-appreciation apart, he
believes it is interesting to inquire
whether f1esh-eaters resist fatigue bet
ter than abstainers. He notes first a
series Of experiments made by our own
Prof Irving Fisher on healthy subjects
chosen from among both fiesh-eaters
and vegetarians, showing that the lat
ter resist fatigue much longer than the
Others This fact having been
duly established" he says, sit remains
to investigate the cause" He con-
t;nues:
DIR. A. Haig thinks that this resist
ance is acquired by all those who give
up foods that are able to form
uric acid; for, according TO him, 1t is
this that causes fatigue. His the
cries have found both adherents and
opponents.
According to Haig, the action of
uric acid is due to the fact that it
makes the blood viscous, and that
therefore the heart finds difficulty in
forcing it through the capillaries, so
that there is an increase of blood pres
sure. Observation shows, in fact,
that persons who have great endur-
ance have often low blood pres
sure.
Another theory that Haig has is
that flesh food contains fatigue poi
sons which accentuate the effects of
those produced by the muscular ac-
tivity of the organism
Finally, according to third the
DRY, that of Prof Chittenden, as noted
by Prof. Irving Fisher, the fatty sub
stances and carbohydrates are burn
ed entirely in the organism, being re-
duced to carbonic acid and water,
which are easily crystallizable resi-
dues, among which is uric acid. Now,
theoretically, these products are the
cause Of fatigue.
ITO sum up, the problem of alimen-
tation remains still to be solved, but
it is at any rate proved that when
the food is poor in albumen, as is the
case with abstinents from flesh, the
endurance is more considerable
physicians are tending to dimin-
ish the quantity of meat in prescribed
diets, and are thus in accord with
the theories of partisans of a
non-fesh alimentation.
A large number of persons, without
being subjected to any special obliga-
terry diet, have cut out meat from their
evening meal, without inconvenience
and even with benefit. Abstinence
from animal food would be observed
much more generally if the adoption
OF this new regimen were brought
about progressively and not suddenly,
as often happens; it is necessary to
habituate the stomach to it, and this
habit is quickly acquired.
ut may be added that experience
shows that when meat has been drop
ped from ones diet one feels better
and never desires to return to it,

Expect Bio Sal. of Red Cross Seals

The campaign for selling Red Cross
seals this year will be carried on in
practically every state and territory in

it is expected that at least 100000 900

URGES NEWSPAPER SHIP
Mr.. Mitchell Says Students
Should See the World.

A fully equipped oceangoing steamship
should be an auxiliary OF the well
equipped school OF Journalism, in the opin-
ion Of Edward T. Mitchell, editor Of The
Sum-" who addressed the students OF the
Pulitzer School OF Journalism at Columbia
University yesterday. In fact, Mr.. Mitchell
said the school would not be complete
unless It had such ship. in which the
students could visit foreign lands
Mr.. Mitchell offered this suggestion by
way of explaining how the inaccuracy
and blunders that have crept into the re-
ports Of the Turkish war could be avoided
In a similar conflict In the future.
Mr.. Mitchells lecture was on the news
paper value OF non-essentlals, and he told
the students that newspaper methods
were not really standardized and that
there was no consensus of opinion among
editors as TO the philosophy Of selection
and presentation
There are no end OF theories about
Journalism" he said. "but no scientific
formula that ! have ever been able to
find I'm the textbooks or the minds of
the accomplished. Mighty fortunate !

tion of newspaper workers and the next
generation Of newspaper readers"

stances. and to compete for permanency

dents that the thing which would count

representatives of about twenty-five cf
the leading Brooklyn civic organizations
in the Court House, sanctioned resoiu-
ton opposing the construction OF long
piers north of 4lth street in Manhattan
on the ground of cost of construction dlI-
ficulty of engineering and because com"

Board of Estimate to dlsapprove the plans
now before 1t for docks between Attn and

whom were former Senator Charles ii.

Borough President Steers; Borough Presi-
dent Connolly of Queens; Edward NJ. Bas-
sett. former Public Service Commissioners,
and Controller Prendergast.
Mr.. Bassett strongly advocated the 10
cation of the long piers in Brooklyn. He
contended that the building Of the piers

the city's S35,OOo,OC0 now available, holding
that the real estate would cost S23,ooo,coo

Mercantile Association that they be al

lamps at intervals OF fifty feet in 14th
street, between Broadway and Sixth ave-

ready to bear the expense OF the install

doing business in the streets In question
President McAneny points out that the
installation Of so many additional pillars
in the sidewalks would practically cut
down the walking space by two and one
half feet. which could be III afforded
"If, however" he writes, additional
light at private expense can be secured
through the suspension of lamps from
metal arms attached TO the fronts OF the
buildings themselves. or through the
suspension OF such lamps in Sixth ave-
nue. from the elevated structure. I have
no doubt that the necessary public au-
thority might readily be secured"
