Food and the Average Man

London Morning Post
A rather consoling demonstration for
those who take nourishment for their
stomach's sake rather than with the idea
Of employing exactly the proportions Of
albuminoids proteids. and carbohydrates
necessary for their energy output and
general metabolism. is to be found in a
paper read by DR.. Armand Gauthier to
the Sorbonne on a reconsideration Of
some recent prejudices regarding nour-
ishment Observing first that ideas of
the proper amount Of nutriment differed
widely among different peoples and at
different epochs-from the eight courses
and twenty-five plates Of Louis XIV to
the frugal dejeuner of the Partisan ouvrf-
ere. DR.. Gauthier announced a new way
he had hit on for arriving at the supply
Of food necessary for life and work.
Let US not take, says he. selected indi-
yiduals or classes of individuals. but q
Very large number of them. and find what

ing class and middle-class people. who.
no more than Is necessary to keep them
going in their walks Of life. Individual
eccentricities will disappear amid so great
a number Of individuals. So DR.. Gauthier
by examining the octroi registers Of food
coming into Paris for ten years to support
q population Of between two and three
millions Of people. really arrives at the
average ration for one person over ten
thousand million days. He finds, for ex-
ample, that this Ideally average Partisan
eats daily 40 grammes Of bread. go
grammes Of vegetables, and another 80
grammes Of dried vegetables. 100
grammes of potato or rice. 40 grammes
of sugar. 20 grammes Of fresh fruit. So
much for vegetable diet OF animal food
he eats 20 grammes of meat. "a grammes
Of eggs, grammes of cheese. "a grammes
Of butter. fats. or oils. He drinks $50 GU
bic centimetres Of wine, beer, or cider,
$50 C. C. of water. and N3 Of milk.
Gauthier now compares this with the sci
entihc methods Of arriving at what Sc
lected people eat when subjected to SCI
entihc examination. The result Ia rather
surprising. The average Partisan ap-
pears to eat less albuminoids and less
fats but more carbohydrates than the
person subjected to scientific test: and
on the whole he gets along with . ration
producing theoretically less energy or
heat units than the scientific diets. The
general conclusion would seem to be that.

not eat more than they should. and
since the approximation to the scientific
standard is rather close. that their choice
Of food il empirically sound.

Wouldn't Take a Dare.

Can a dog respond to a tauntf A
Vermont dog, which was growing old,
was in a barn one day with his mas
ter. The two were up In a haymow,
from which sloping ladder led down
to the barn floor. The master walked
down the ladder, but the dog went
around another way.
When the animal reached the barn
floor bis master said tauntingly: Poor
old fellow! Daren't walk down the
ladder any morer''
Whereupon the dog, with quick
glance at his master, walked clear uI
the ladder to the top, and then turned
round and walked down 1t again. The
proceeding looked very much like q
deliberate demonstration on the dogs
part to prove to his master that he wat
still capable of walking up and dowr
q slanting ladder.-st. Louis Globe

Music and the Hair,

Though II per cent Of all musicians
are bald. 1t appears that this is the re-
suit OF exposure TO the wrong musical
vibrations NJ Henri de Parville, the
French physicist, is credited with the
theory that the well known action OF
music on the nervous system affects
the nutrition Of the bodily tissues and
thus has an influence on the hair, and
1t is claimed that observations support
this view The influence. however, Is
not always the same. All male plan
lists have a wealth OF hair, and 1t is
found that playing the piano and VIC
lin have a specially beneficial effect,
as do also, In less degree. the violon-

A Persistent Tutor,

In 1870, when President Grevy took
up his residence at the Elysee, he was
investigating the shortage Of accom-.
mediation in the palace when he was
told that half of one Of the stories was
occupied by "a gentleman" who refus-
ed to leave. The gentleman had been
there for four or FIVE years.
Grevy went to ask him personally
what his business was and learned
that he was the tutor Of the children
Of former president, Marshal Mac.
Mahon.
"But the marshal ceased to be presi-
dent some years ago." remarked NJ.
Grevy.
THAT may be-" replied the gentle
man. but l was appointed Elysee
tutor. The Elysee is still here. and so
am l."
Eventually, in order to get rid Of the
tutor, the president had to give him a
well paid Job in one OF the govern
ment Offices.

TRAPPING the Poaehers.

A keeper awakened to the fact that
in the silent watches Of the night some
Of his pheasants were being systemat-
cally purlolned. Footprints were al
ways discernible; but as there was
nothing remarkable about any Of them,
they were of no value for detective
purposes. They served, however, to
suggest a plan. he went to the local
cobbler and offered him a generous re-
ward for the performance Of very
simple task. When three suspected
persons sent their boots for repairs,
the nails or Jackets were to be placed
in the soles according to different de-
signs which the keeper would provide.
The son Of st. Crlspin agreed to the
proposal, and 1t was carried into effect
as opportunity offered The result was
that a charge Of poaching was proved
against two of the three men through
the distinctive impressions made BY
their boots In the retentive soil. The
cobbler's connIvance In the keepers lit
tie scheme was, of course, kept strict
secret.-Glasgow News.
