SCIENTIFIC JAIL DIET.
Plan Is to Feed Prisoners to Remove
Criminal Tendencies.

OAKLAND, Cal, January "a scien-
tific schedule of diet for prisoners in
the city Jail is being arranged by DR..
A. F. Gillihan, health director of Oak
land, in conjunction with Prof. Myer
E. Jaffa. professor Of nutrition at the
University of California, according to
announcement today. "Malnutrition is
responsible for criminality in many
cases. and by proper feeding of criminals
their criminal tendencies may. to some
extent at least, be removed" says DR..
Gillian.
The object of the experiments with
the prison diet is to prove the theory
held by DR.. Gillihan that men and
women with criminal inclinations. while
in prison, may be subjected to such a
diet as will relieve them Of their
tendencies and send them forth into the
world better able to Withstand tempta-
ton and less likely to revert to former
customs.
