How Much Food DO We Need?

A LII persons do not require the same
n amount of food. The amount of energy
required by the body varies with the season.
with the weather and with the amount and
kind of work done, and with the size of the
individual. Hard physical work and ex-
posure to low temperature demand the
largest food supply. The observations made
upon this subject by Doctor Maure indi-
cate that a person engaged in hard mus
cular labor requires from 25 to 80 per cent
more food than one who is idle, or whose
occupation is chiefly mental. Exposure to
the cold of winter requires an equal in
crease in the amount of foodstuffs.
1t should be stated, however that per-
son whose occupation is indoors in an at
mosphere the temperature of which is vir-
tually the same that of an average
summer temperature, does not require more
food than in the summer season, since his
loss or heat is no greater A person who
perspires freely either when at work during
the hot season out of doors or in a heated
room at any season, requires virtually as
much food as one doing the same amount
of work in a cold atmosphere because of
the large amount of heat carried off from
the body by the evaporation of perspira-
tion from the skin.
In measuring the amount of food which
standard of measurement which we shall
use-the calorie. A calorie is the amount Of
heat required to raise the temperature of
one pound of water four degrees Fahren-
heit.
The caloric value of cooked foods is con-
sderably different from that of the same
foods in a raw state, because of the addition
of water or of the evaporation Of the juices
during the cooking process.
Speaking in a general way, the number
of calories of the various food elements
protein, fats and carbohydrates-which the
body needs, is as follows:
First Proteins, the albuminous elements
which build blood and tissues-1S0 to 260
calories
Second. Carbohydrates, the starches and
sugars, which keep up the body temperature
and supply muscular strength-1200 to 1900
calories
Third. Fats, which also support heat and
energy-600 to 900 calores.
Allowance is made In these figures for a
wide range of individual variation. Roughly
speaking, however the average dlily menu
for the normal person should comprise about
1900 calories OF this amount, about 23O
should be protein, $50 fat and 100 carbo-
hydrate 1t is especially important that
the relative amount of protein should be

When Buying Meat

Beef and pork, of course, belong largely
to the soldiers, but if we are good for a few
days in the week about saving them we
may by easy conscience approach them at
odd intervals. Now that meat has become
precious it is extremely vital TO get It
good" when we do invest.
Here are some worthwhile facts about
meat as it should be bought:
Observation-Disclosures of prime beef-Fat
is light colored, the flesh firm, bright red
when freshly cut, doesn't soil the hands
much and the lean is mottled with fat
PoTk-The best pork is fine grained, firm
TO the touch the lean is of a pinlxish color
and fat is literally distributed throughout
the lean. The well-fattened hog gives the
best favored pork Fat is a valuable food,
supplying heat and energy.

be based, not upon the actual weight Of
the individual, but upon the weight of the
average person of his height.

Is cottage cheese or cheese made from sour
milk constpatnR? MISS II. G..
There are some people who appear to be-
come constipated whenever milk is used in
any form. 1t is due to the fact that the
casein is not well digested but finds its way
into the colon and there undergoes putre-
faction, producing an alkaline state of the
bowel contents which tends to constipation.
