Ordinary Diet

Within the past few years.
the calory has been given wide
publicity Amateur dietitians,
Notwithstanding journals, and
even the daily newspapers have
given much space to the sub
ject OF foods from q calortc
standpoint. and well meaning
restaurateurs have gone SO far
rs to provide a caloric tabula-
ton with their menus.
The result. of course, has
been to distort and exaggerate
the importance OF the calory,
and to give it a false position
IS the measure Of food value.
Measure Heat Units.
In order to overcome this
false impression, it may be we'll
10 define the calory.
A calory is merely a unit of
heat measurement. One calory
being the amount Of heat re-
CURED to raise one kilogram of
water, one degree centigrade.
The average individual par
Akes of food containing approx
imately 5000 calories every
twenty -four hours. Normally,
2,5O0 calories OF heat leave the
body in twenGy-four hours
which means that five-sixths of
the energy intent in our food
Is consumed in maintaining
bodily temperature.
Important as the calory DO
Mentality of food is, it is not
the absolute measure of nutri-
tive value. and a diet based
upon calorieS might be totally
inadequate to bodily needs even
Injurious to health. The sweets
and fats for instance, being
largely carbohydrates, yield
many calories. Alcohol has
probably the highest calory
value. vet it would hardly con-
stitute a desirable and certainly
not a rational, healthy diet.

1t would be far better for the
non-scientific individual to dis
regard calories altogether, and
measures food values in the
simpler terms Of proteins and
carbohydrates. The normal ap-
petite will usually demand a
proper share of foods of both

ccupation, and physique, the
mount of energy required in

serve indicated by the presence
or absence of adipose issue, are
the determining factors of diet
which come well within the ken
Of the intelligent housewife.
Roughly speaking, sweets and
fats contain the carbohydrates.
Farinaceous foods are rich in.
protein: and the legumes give

PROWLER TAKES
AIRY ROUTE TO
ENTER BUILDING
Fiye-Inch Plank, Fifty Feet
Above Street, Helps Man
Across Roofs.

Police would have caught a bur-
glar TODAY if he had only slipped.
They probably would have taken him
to the hospital instead Of Jail, too.
But the burglar didn't slip. Neither
did he steal anything, although he
pried two bars from a window on
the third floor of the Crystal Theater,
1T n. Illinois st.
The burglar placed a plank five
inches wide and about ten feet long
from the window ledge Of the third
floor of the Hoosier Building, 1S W.
Market St, to the roof of a building
at los N.-Ilinois st. The plank was
in a diagonal position and it was
raining. Across this slippery, wet
plank the burglar walked to the roof
of the Illinois st. building at a. m.
today. continued over roofs OF three
other buildings and dropped ten feet
TO the roof in the rear Of the Crystal
Theater building. He pried of two
iron bars from the window OF the
CRYSTAL Theater. The police believe
the prowler was then frightened away.
The burglar climbed an air duct
reaching to the roof, from which he
had dropped a few minutes before,
and returned to the Iioosier building
across the plank. Had he slipped he
would have fallen fifty feet.
A merchant police officer was told
bv a. stranger he saw a man on the
roof of the Illinois St. building a few
minutes before The merchant police
man notified the police and Sergeant
Dean and a squad investigated. the
theater had not been robbed.
Police say the burglar may have
