Bats sleep head downward, hanging

Storks, gulls and other long-legeed
birds sleep standing on one leg.
Ducks sleep on open water. To avoid
drifting ashore, they keep padding

in circle.
Foxes and wolves sleep curled up,
their noses and the soles Of their fee,

Is the Chinese Diet Adequate!

The question is asked and answer
ed in the Journal of Home Economics
6y a Chinese author named Chi Che
Wang. We take only enough from his
article 10 suggest a comparison be-
tween Chinese and American dietaries.
The Chinese peope nave a very
varied diet-eggs, meat, fish, fruit,
cereals, and a great variety of veg
cables. The common nJ,ion that rice
IS their only food is lar from true.
Rice merely takes he place of the
american bread. Pork is their chief
meat. II is used by ali classes of peo-
ole in all parts of China. Lamb may
be substituted for pork, but beef is
considered more or less sacred and
IS very seldom used as food. Unlike
Americans, who consider the muscle of
an animal almost the only edible part,
the Chinese eat everything except hair
and bones-the brain, the spinal cord
and the various organs, even the skin
and the blood.
Fish and shellfish, including crabs,
shrimps, Holsters, oysters and the like,
are always so much in demand that
many fishermen raise them in their
private ponds. Not only are they sold
at the market, but they may be pur-
chased from the peddler who go from
house to house every morning. The
peddler has a heavy bamboo stick
across his shoulder, and suspended
from each end Of it is big wooden tub
containing a great variety of fish SWIM
ming in the water.
Although large chicken farms are
unknown in China, have no doubt that
more chickens are raised there every
year than in this country Everyone
who owns a little back yard raises a
few chickens and several ducks, and
they are sold both at the market and
by peddlers. You need not buy a
whole fowl, but may purchase such
par; as you desire, a ha dozen ducks
heads or a dozen ducks. feet to use
n soup, or ten or more ducks tongues
to prepare the delcacy of ducks
cooked with ham.
Eggs are used very freely in the
Chinese diet, not only hens eggs but
ducks and pigeons They are cooked
in many ways-boi' ed, fried, scram-
bled-and in addition they are used
. mr. SPocnninn uornicb;,,n
noodles and preserving. Thus eggs in
one form or another are almost ALWAYS
found in chop suey, chow mein (fried
noodles), won dung (meat dumpling)
mein ee something like pancake), and
many other dishes.
| Vegetables are used very freely by
the Chinese people. In addition to the
common ones such as spinach, cab
bage, potatoes, radishes, and the like
they eat many plants and weeds that
are not considered as food in America.
There is not so much difference in
he use Of cereal products in China
and the United States as is usually
thought In the south and the central
eastern part Of China where rice is
produced abundantly it takes the place
of wheat, but in the north, as al
Picking and Shantung, wheat, corn and
millet seed are used rather than rice
The rice usually is unpublished. Polish
ed rice is rather expensive luxury
used in the north is white, much like
American flour, but it is not so highly
milled, The millet seed, ground or
whole, is made into cakes or into thin
mush eaten especially by children.
