Use or ENERGY

Z.
81 have no energy today is a COM
mon remark. Many people feeling out
of sorts and weary have an idea they
lack energy, but they do not. Rather,
energy. If they did not they would
die, for 1t takes a great amount of
energy to live. The average normal
man requires $500 calories of energy
each day. A calorie is definite
amount or degree of heat. Just as
thermal unit is that amount of heat
necessary to raise one pint of water
one degree Farenheit, one calorie is
that degree of heat necessary to raise
one kilogram one degree centigrade in
temperature. Translated to Fahrenheit
again, this means one calorie is that
amount of heat necessary to raise four
plnts of water, or two quarts, four de-
grees in temperature Fahrenheit. One
calor1e is, therefore four times as
great In energy, as a thermal unit.
Just to maintain the necessary heat of
the BODY and support its various ac-
tIVlt1es the average man needs 10000
thermal units of energy each day. This
amount of energy is sufficient to raise
one ton OF water five degrees in tenn
Perature or to raise the temperature
OF man weighing 125 pounds from
~ degrees to lis degrees. The energy
represented in the daily ration of the
average man, converted into mechan-
l x work would raise $3.50 tons one
loot nigh. The same amount of en-
ergy would be used by a man weigh
ing 125 pounds in walking 100 miles at
the rate of three miles an hour. The
same energy would carry a man on a
bicycle $40 miles farther, or $50 miles.
1t must be remembered, however. that
only small part of this enormous
energy which is introduced into the
body by the food is actually converti-
bic for use in muscular work At least
four-fifths of all the food fuel taken
into the body, and assimilated, is con-
sumed 10 maintain animal heat

KANSAS MEDICAL COLLEGE.

Topeka is losing a valuable insti-
tuition in the closing of the Kansas
Medical college, a department o.
Wasl1burn. The decree of the National
Association of Medical colleges allow
ing only one medical school in the
state owing to the high standard of
equipment and salaries has driven from
Kansas a school that has turned out
many of the best medical men in the
west.
1t will be a hard blow to the hum
dreds of graduates of the Kansas Med
icaI college. The pride in their alma
mater and the fact that the diplomas
hanging on their office walls tell the
story of an extinct school will not ap-
peal to them. Not that it will be in
furious to their practice or their ef-
f1ciency-but it will clip the wings of
pride of many Kansans.
The Kansas Medical college has been
recognized ali over the country as one
of the strong schools in the west.
The reputation of it's graduates and
the success of the physicians and sur
geons have told story Of excellent in
struction and efficient clinical work.
Topeka, naturally, is the center of
medical work in Kansas. No other city
in the state can boast of the hospital
accommodations and the medical auth
critics found in Topeka. 1t is the Mecca
Of Kansans who need hospital treat
ment. For this reason it is a blow
to Topekans to hear that the Kansas
Medical college is due to depart.
Apparently all the school needs is
endowment. The student patronage
has been flattering, it is asserted. The
instruction has been the best and many
Topeka physicians have spent consid-
cradle time in their faculty work.
1t is hoped in Topeka that the trus-
tees of the Kansas Medical college will
find a loophole of encouragement and
that a ray of light will pierce their en-
dowment troubles. 1t is to be regret
ted that a monopoly of larger medical
schools can force out of existence an
institution that has done as much good
and has donated as much talent to the
country as the Kansas Medical. COL

Prairie Chickens.

There was a time when the steady
advance of the prairie farmer drove
the grouse and the prairie chicken be-
fore him. The birds loved the un-
trampled heather of ungrazed grasses
and seldom were found near the do
main of the man with the shoot-stick
whose peculiarly true aim, owing to
the price of powder and shot, reduced
their ranks when they flushed within
range. Today the major portion of
old time conditions have gone their
way. The birds nest everywhere, and
these nests are protected as much as
possible by the owners of the land.
Thousands of them are discovered
every season by the farmers whose
lands lie out on the prairies of the
Dakotas, Minnesota, Nebraska and
coyey less for the fall shooting. The
birds are encouraged with nesting and
food and courteously discouraged with
the scatter gun.-Forest and Stream.
