Nutrition.

DR.. Livingston Farrand president
of Cornell University, said that among
the things one of ordinary intelli-
gence should know about health IL
"the types, amounts and proportions
of the various food elements essential
to the proper nurture Of the body.
Most of the things the ordinary lay
man knows about diet, food and nu.
triton are not so. This Is not strange
when we remember that, first. the lay
man has had no instruction In phySl-
ology, and, second, the woods are fun
of dillettante dietitians.
Daily l receive numbers Of requests
from readers for diets for this and
that trouble. These readers seem to
think that doctor who processes, as
/ do, to know something about health,
ought to be able to tell 'em what they
may eat or ''may not eat" People
who understand very we'll that no
honest physician can prescribe" for
a. person he has not examined. some
how fancy that this doesn't apply to
diet, but only to medicines. They are
mistaken in that / am just as capa-
BILE and just ais willing to tell any
reader what food he should or should
not eat as ] am to tell him what
medicine he should or should not take.
OId-time diet lists" such as some
life insurance companies still offer to
send customers by way of 'health
service" are a joke, and while I like
a good joke on any one else, Id
rather be dignified and serious than
perpetrate such ancient jokes.
A prevalent misapprehension that
bobs up constantly I'm the letters read
ers write me is that there is some
causa tive relation between meat eating
and high blood pressure" or perhaps
hardening of the arteries. There is
no good reason for that misappre-
hension. 1t is as groundless as the
older idea that the eating OF eggs
somehow accounted for albuminuria,
another childish notion.
Too much food for the individuals
actual requirements probably does
place a burden on the kidneys. as well
as the circulation. But In the great
| majority of cases the excess Is a ques-
| tion of carbohydrates-starc and
sugars--not question of meat or
eggs or cheese or other protein foods
Then, too. there is the deeply rooted
fancy that meat yields uric acid. 1t is

You are quite correct in thinking

the starch and fruit sugar which they

too, dates are alkaline or basic after

means that they are a great help in

Since you are interested In food for

words of suggestion about using dates
for young people. In the first place.
