 "The porcupine owl uses his voice as a mariner uses a siren in fog. He hoots and then listens intently. If echo. A man or beast carries an echo. A man or beast carries an echo to the ear of the porcupine owl.

beat, like all engines, Energy is it's
final output.
Now food already contains chemi-
cal energy which holds the atoms to-
gether. When taken into the body,
the processes are such that some Of
this energy is stored and released in
the form of work, movement, heat
eH.
Anything taken into the body that
cannot thus be utilized is valueless
and hence does not constitute food.
And it is the duty Of the individual
to give himself those foods that have
energy creating value.
