ELECTRICITY AS
A FUTURE FOOD
Scientist Demonstrates, IN q Measure,
That Eating 10 Not Necessary to Life.
Patients Show Great Improvement
Under observation-disclosures Due to
Malnutritien May Be eanished.

10 speak OF using electricity as a
food may seem most absurd at the
present time, but experiments recently
conducted in France indicate that such
Is possibility Of the future.
For long time scientists have been
looking for cure which will do away
with some Of the multiple ailments of
the human body and have been univer-
sally OF the opinion that If food could
be in more condensed form it would
De absorbed with less fatigue and dis
comfort The principle Of electricity
acting as food value is that It adds
10 the heat energy Of the stomach so
that much less food has to be taken
into the body.
Currents Applied to Body.
His method is called "diathermy.''
and he applies frequent currents to the
human body, so that, instead Of heat
having to be produced from food ma
terials which need to be consumed and
burned in the system and thus give
rise to much overwork Of the organs.
the artificial method produces the same
heat at much less injurious cost to the
general condition of health.
these electric currents. he says, pass
through the body without the least
feeling. The current is Of two or three
amperes strength and voltage Of 1000
to $500 volts an hour, and this amount
OF electricity equals one-thlrd of the
daily food value which should be con-
sumed by one person.
He applied the first test to a man
who was in bad physical condition.
The patient at the time was eating too
much animal food, but was unable to
work. was sensitive to heat and cold
and could not walk thirty feet without
aid. His height was five feet ten inch
es, and he weighed 40 pounds.
After series Of treatments he be-
gan to improve rapidly and in a short
time gained thirty pounds, was able to
walk for hours without much weari-
ness and had. in fact. regained all Of
his normal vlgor.
Bergonte has also made many other
similar tests and finds that the results
are universally good and that as soon
as the amount Of food taken into the
system is reduced and the current Of
electricity substituted the improvement
is immediate.

MONEY

The week just ended opened with some
depression caused by the rather large loss
of cash shown in the previous week 5
bank statement. An easier tone in call
money was established in the beginning,
rates ranging from 3is to per cent, with
a ruling rate around 34 per cent The
tendency for the remainder of the week
in call loans was toward slight soften
ing of rates. but time loans for the week
remained steady. and buying institutions
exercised considerable discrimination in
the selection of commercial paper. which
ranged from 81 to 6 per cent. one en-
courasing development was the easier
tone of money abroad. which resulted in
a falling off of discounts in the various
money centres of Europe. Money has
not reached such stage of easiness that
liberal financing can be done on basis
as limited as in other years, which IS
evidenced by the attractive rates on which
the st. Paul and Pennsylvania issues
We're put out. This emphasizes the fact
that the interest return must be much
greater to insure banking participation at
the present time. Money promises to re-
main firm for some time. at least.

The Margin Of Reward At
tending Scientific Play as
Opposed to Poor
Play Is Certain
and Large.

Science certainly reaps just reward at
auction bridge. There probably never has
been a game devised for the combination
of four players that so clearly shows the
line between good and ordinary ability as
does the game of auction as played at
present.
We say present for the reason that we
do not admit the acceptance of the space
code Of conventions and from the out
burst of approval of our defence of the
simple game. together with the fact that
able writer's have awakened TO the danger
that menaces the popularity of the game
in the attempt TO arm the inferior player
with a chart of printed signals to guide
his action and overcome by means of a
machine-lke code his inability to cope
with the science and skill of the game,
the spade code seems already hors de
combat
We also wish 10 say in passing, that
the best players in the recognized clubs
that lead in the setting of precedents and
the making of laws and rules will UNI
doubtedly adopt one of the two courses
suggested; namely. wipe out the spade
suit or do the natural and obviously right
thing by adopting a law limiting the spade
bids to two, with adequate penalties for
violation.
