|HE science of nutrition is as yet
in its infancy. our knowledge
of the needs of the human econ
omy is still more or less con-
fused with our conception of its wants.
There are many hiati-hiatuses-well
we mean plural for hiatus-there are
a whole lot OF those things in modern
dietetics. We have just encountered
several of them here this past week.
That we have survived is no fault of
the hiatuses. They harassed us unceas-
