Man is many things He is an animal like others on
this earth and remarkably like the monkey much that
it annoying to those hating the Darwinian theory
You have for instance in your body exactly the
number of bones and EXACTLY THE SAME KIND OF
BONES as are in the skeleton of a chimpanzee.
you took machine apart labeled "Ford car" and
another machine apart labeled ''Chimpanzee cal" and
found that they made of exactly the same parts you
would say "Ca them what you like that Chmpanzee
Is related to that Ford car
You don't have to believe it about yourself and the
monkey unless you like.
Man. is animal with the appetites, envy, hatred
anger, vanty-an inherited weaknesses of the animal
Man is Soul there is within him something that tells
him what right and what wrong something that mpes
him to help the weak, to hate and punish cruelty
Man is intellect dealing masterfully now with
problems that overwhelmed him in days when he was
frightened savage shivering when the lightning flashed
He is powerful intellect for he weigh the earth
on which ne stands, measure and weigh the many
rions of miles from him. understand the that once
frightened him, and predict accurately their return
Man is regarious animal living in the herd He is
HOPEFUL creature in spite of his dsappoinments always
looking for better times here and absolutely believing in
perfect bliss hereafter
He is just creature his business limited by his finite
ideas Eternal happiness for those that are good eternal
punishment for those that bad-such is his religion
When Mr.. Mccay made this picture he said 81 want
TO represent man power plant We simply boiler
and engine room. We should utilize what eat as the
boiler In the factory utihzes the fuel on the CRATE
I'VE should eat to create power-not merely to exist
Every mouhf Of food should generate power for our
good and the worlds good Worthless men burn up
valuable fuel good food and there is no connection be-
tween the amount of fuel consumed and the amount of men
tai steam produced"
MIR. McCay presents interesting picture It makes
you think which is important 1t makes you think about
YOURSELF which is useful if the thought is sefcriticz
ing, not approving.
There are many things about the complex mysterious
creature, man. not shown in this picture Mr. McCay will
probably put them in other pictures later.
Man is engine changing food into energy. But the
food ne eats represents very small part the energy that
ne puts forth in his daily life For instance Swiss guide
having swallowed handful two of grain and glass of
milk, viii start out to climb the Mont Blanc with red
faced Engshman who has eaten perhaps pound of beef
with bread and butter eggs and bacon The guide on his
handful Of grain climb the top of the mountain and
drag the Engishman good part of the way with him
Yet IN mere energy producing fuel the Engshman has
eaten five times much the guide has
Mans blood is red-thanks to the iron in it. ALI the
blood and all the iron passes through the lungs taking up
from the air with which the lungs filed the real energy
with which the real work of body and is done The
blood goes through the body distributing energy collecting
impurities then through the lungs through the kid
neys rds itself Of the impurities and give power
and life to every one Of the billions of separate living
breathing cells of which the body is composed
The power that you get from your food slight COM
pared with that which you get from the air you breathe
Remember that 1t is to your lungs than to
starve your stomach.
