FOOD ADJUSTMENT.

The public mind has been reused
here and there to an interest in Ger
tain ,phases of the pure food question
by the popular agitation of the sub
ject as presented by various enthusias-
tic leaders. but there is much underly-
ing truth which has entirely escaped
attention. This is due to the fact that
the movement has necessarily been
involved In much that is in the nature
of commercial warfare, and in COM
mercial campaigns well turned
phrase or glittering epgram is fire.
quently preferred to a straightforward
statement of fact.
We have, for instance, heard much
that is both true and false about ben
zoate of soda, but neither side has felt
called on to state the whole truth.
which is that as a general proposition
the average individual is vastly better
off without any of the dietetic whips
around which the battle RACES. We do
not need instruction in the compost
ton of sauces and dressings for our
foods, but We are sadly in need of In
structions as to how to select and pre-
pare nutritious and healthful diet.
The average individual among lay
men and physicians alike regards the
fundamental problems of food and diet
as permanently solved. The fallacy of
this belief is quickly shown by brief
study of the mortality tables published
by the United States bureau of census.
These tables show progressive de-
crease in mortality from all dis
eases other than those. directly con-
nected with metabolism. while the
mortality from diseases caused by de-
ranged metabolism show a progressive
increase per 100000 population. OBJ
viously the fundamental problems Of
food and diet are far from being un-
derstood or solved, and probably the
most imperfectly understood part Of
the problem is that of the quantity OF
food needed for the support OF man.
Careful. painstaking Investigations
for many years in many parts of the
| world have reduced human food re-
| quirements to basis where the guam
tity has become a matter of accurate
estimation rather than Of intuition.
and the increased demand for food
| fuel for the worker need no longer re-
| main veiled In the mystery of guess
work.
About the latest word from the In.
vestigators in this field comes from
Becker and Mamalinen in Finland.
Tests conducted by them for deter
mining the amount of energy required
for eight hours labor at various occu-
pations are as follows:
