FOOD PATRIOTISM.

Physical Culture: No placard has
yet appeared with the inscription
lose zen Pounds for Liberty" Yet
such advice would be more rational
than much of the fervid patriotism that
greets our eyes from billboards.
One reason why the English block
ade did not bring Germany to her
knees in the second year of the war
and a reason too why the U-boat cam
paign has had so little effect on the
English national strengths that
civilized man in times OF peace ana
plenty is grossly overfed.
A reduction Of the national food sup
ply creates mental panic long before
it brings about physical weakness. In
fact certain degree Of food reduction,
If foods were equitably distributed,
would result in an increase OF national
efficiency. With the existing crude In
eoualities of food distribution the re-
duction OF the national food supply
brings about a dual effect. The hab
itually underfed become more under
fed and their health and efl1clency
decrease. while the habitually overfed
become less overfed and their health
and efficiency are increased. The ma
tional efficiency loses at one end OF the
scale and gains at the other. If the
food reduction is paralleled by less
equitable distribution the total results
are evil, but if paralleled with a gam
IN the euuitability of distribution food
reduction will result In improved ell
cheney down to the point where the
food supply really becomes 1nsufh'
cient to support the real dietetic needs
of the population.
