Doctor Defend. Meat Eaters.


Doctor Defends Meat Eaters.
In his recently published work Dr..
Robert Hutchinson observes that en-.
ergy is not to be confused with mus.
cular strength. A grass fed cart horse
is strong; corn fed hunter is ener.
getic. Energy is a property Of the
nervous system; strength OF the mus.
cles. Muscles give us the power to
do work; the nervous system gives us
the initiative to start it. Muscles do
their work upon carbohydrates
(starch foods), which are the charac.
teristic nutritive constituents Of vege-
table foods; the brain appears to re.
quire nitrogen, which can only be at.
ta1ned In concentrated form from
animal sources. If proteid food, there.
fore, be regarded as nervous food,
a diet rich In it will make for intel.
lectual capacity and bodily energy,
and it is not without reason that the
more energetic races Of the world
have been meat eaters.

THE "0UrLOOK" ON BANKING REFORM.

The "Outlook" magazine, of which
Colonel Roosevelt is an editor, gives
emphatic endorsement in it's current
issue to the plan of the National
Monetary Commission for the reform
of our banking and currency system.
Everybody who thinks at all
about the subject agrees that our
currency and banking system needs
REFORM" says the Outlook. I" 'sThere
is danger, however, that there may
be so much disagreement about de-
tails as to endanger effective legis-
lation during the present session of
Congress. In our judgment this dan
ger is greater than any probable
danger that may come because the
plan of the Monetary Commission is
not exactly right in every part. Pres
ident Taft and Mr.. MacVeigh both
remind the public that Congress has
for long time been discussing and
debating the question of the reform
of our banking and currency laws.
For the very purpose of giving i'm
portant details careful, expert con-
sideration, the Monetary Commission
was created, and it has for several
years been devoting itself to the
most careful review of details.
'The plan the Monetary Commits
sion recommends for enactment into
legislation is the fruit of the thought
not merely of bankers, but Of all
classes of well-trained citizens-bus-
mess men, lawyers, econmists, and
university professors. 1t is great
mistake to regard it as the product
of mere nancial interests.
