SAYS FOOD CONTROLS SEX
Food q Boy, Finds Philadel-
phIa Doctor.

hiladelphia.-That sex of children
may be predetermined is the conclu.
sion reached by DR.. Israel Bran of
this city after a study of 80 of his pa
tents upon whom he experimental
with special diet and also with medi-
cine. His conclusions are given in the
current number of q medical newspa.
per.
Dr. Bran says that an excess of
nourishment in the mother may decide
in favor of a female child, while
deficiency tends to the production Of a
male. A generous diet means a girl; a
scanty one, with low proteid allow
ance, favors a boy In support Of this
theory 1t Is advanced that in times OF
financial panic or war, when a plenti-
full quantity of rich heterogeneous food
is not available, male infants are in
the preponderance.
The second theory Is that sex is de.
termined by the activity OF the adrenal
glands, those ductless glands above
the kidneys, which secrete q substance
that seems to have an important effect
on the entire muscular and nervous
system.
1t is declared that in women who
are deficient in the adrenal supply
their offspring are female. It is there
fore thought that the use Of the ex.
tract OF suprarenal glands of animals
or a similar substance which would
stimulate the adrenal glands would In
crease the chances of male child.
Or. Bran says that Of 80 Of his pa
tents who placed themselves under his
directions 26 gave birth to boys.
These results, he writes. strongly
Indicate that the experiment employed
was highly successful. and that he
probably have at our disposal a means
of controlling at will the sex of the un
born infant"
In accordance with these theories Il
a boy is desired the treatment is diet
airy and medicinal Eggs, meat. fish
and cheese are forbidden. and 1t is di
rected that the diet consist of suct
substances as cereals, fruits. potatoes
milk. buttermilk and butter. Plenty o
water is advised.

an express company OF several thou
sand dollars. Instead of decamping
re remained in the city. He con-
fessed to the theft and said he had
lost the money playing poker. The
surety company sent a man to prose

faulter had been receiving good sal
airy from the express company and
that there was no reason for his
taking the money. Further investiga.
ton revealed the fact that the county
attorney had sat in the poker game

county attorney. The surety company
dropped the case at once and paid the
