SAYS FOOD CONTROLS SEX
Generous Diet Means Girl; Scanty
Food Boy, Finds PhiIadeI-
phia Doctor.

Philadelphia 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
tients upon whom he experimental
with special diet and also with medi
current number of medical newspa
per.
DR.. Bran says that an excess
nourishment in the mother may decidf
in favor of a female child, while
deficiency tends to the production OF I
male. A generous diet means a girl: y
scanty one, with low proteid allow
ance, favors 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 a substance
that seems to have an important eject
on the entire muscular and nervous
system.
II is declared that in women who
are deficient in the adrenal supply
their offspring are female. 1t 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.
DR.. Bran says that of 80 of his pa
tents who placed themselves under his
directions rs 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 means
of controlling at will the sex of the un-
born infant
In accordance with these theories If
boy is desired the treatment is diet
airy and medicinal. Eggs, meat, fish,
and cheese are forbidden, and it is d.
rected that the diet consist of such
substances as cereals, fruits, potatoes,
milk, buttermilk and butter Plenty Of

There are men in Ag for mo fol-
low the profession of picture restoring,
who are able to restore old paintings
| Of value which have large hops in
them, or the materials on which they
are executed hanging in threads
Moreover, they can, when necessary.
transfer painting to a new canvas.
If picture Of which the canvas is
cracked torn or rotted with age Is
handed to a clever restorer, the first
thing he does is to purchase new
canvas the same size as the old one.
Having obtained this, he Clues sheet
of stout manila paper to the picture,
He then carefully scrapes away the old
canvas. This is job that might oc-
cupy him for several days, or weeks
if the canvas is large one. Having
removed every bit of canvas, the
grounds upon which paint lies are
taken away by solvents or gentle
scraping, until nothing remains but
the fragile shell of pigment adhering
to the paper.
The new canvas is then covered with
the strongest fish glue obtainable, and
pressed firmly down upon the paper
bearing the picture. AS soon as the
painting is firmly attached to Its new
foundation nothing remains but to
take off the manila paper. This can
be done with hot water, and the sur
face of the painting has only to be
cleaned to look as bright as 1t was
when the artist painted 1t.
We believe It was M. Haquin, a
French artist OF note, who first sue
cessfully transferred a panel painting
TO canvas He glued sheet OF pa
per over the surface OF the painting,
and afterward upon this a fine layer Of
muslin When the glue was dry he
planed down the panel until 1t was OF

scraped off the remainder with long,
flexible knife. This done. the mere
skin of color held together by the pa
per and muslin was left, and 1t was a
comparatively easy task to glue this to
a canvas and remove the paper and
muslin.
