There is something distinctiva

the surgeon and the specialist may

family physician is not even pre-

But, / would never. s3lcct either

the advice of my family doctor.
Your physician should be
broad, well-read, general practi-
toner. If that, he is far better
posted in the management OF your
varied complaints, than the sur
geon or the specialist. He has a,
far more extensive KNOWLEDGE or
the remedies needed for you than
either. He will be a more capa-
BILE diagnostician in systematic
disease; and, he will know - IN
you need a surgeon or SPecials-,
better than any one else.
Your family physician is i"'c2i
an indispensable man in the com

and other community measures
calculated to prevent disease-to

Donald Mcmillan, Arctic explorer,

 Anyone who has watched the in- crease of the weight of the child with growth will realize that the amount of food taken in must be at least proportional to the amount of weight added The periods of greatest storage occur in the first year Of life and again between the ages of ]2 and l6 years.
 Needs Lots Of Food
 In the second period as much ;Ss 10 to 1. pounds may be added m a single year. Obviously this de- mands great food intake to pro- vide the needs of the body for en- crSy as well as for the increased body structure.
 The experts have computed the number of calories per pound of body weight, and by the day. hat children should take. The child under one yea should have 4a calories per pound; from two to five years, 4o calories per pound {: fl om six to 13 years, 35 calories per pound; from 14 to IT years 27 calories. and from IS to 25 years. about .2 calories.
 In daily quantities. under two years of age approximately 1000 calorics per day arc required: at five years of age, about 1900 ca lories per day: at 10 years of age, , bout TOO calOrjeS per day. at 12 years of age. about 200 calories per ! day: at "A years of age. apprOAi- 1 mately "500 calories. and at 17 for [ boys bout 5000 and for girls about 2500.
 Any good book on diet written 1 for the public will include a table of foods and the proportions neces- sary 10 provide 100 calories. Such information is fundamental to the selection Of proper diets and the quantity of food to he eaten.

Health Hints
BY DIR. MORRIS EISHBI;lN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and uf Hy-

scia, the Health Magazine
 Several hundred years before the Christian era, the philosopher and physician Hippocrates said. Grow ing bodies have the most heat: they therefore require the most food"
 His belief was based on accurate observation, but more than t'~o thousand years passed before it be- came possible to measure accurate ly the differences between the en- ergy requirements Of the child Id ot the adult.
 Infants Demand During the first week of ba- hy's life chemical changes that go OF in it's body are lower than those of the adult and much lower than those of older infants and chil- dren. Ky the end of the first two weeks the rate rises approximately 10 that of grown-ups
 From that time on it contin, es rising rapidly, until the end of the first year or the early part of the St cond year of life. when it reach es tue HlSHtsl Pplit III the normal life of the person concerned. Then it declines gradually until period just before the changes from youth to manhood or Womanhood, at which time it seems to halt to de- cline temporarily. continuing then to the adult rate.
 The changes that go on are | called basal metaboiism. the meth cd of determination being relative ly simple and inN olving the use Of i an apparatus which carefully re- cords the interchange of oxygen in the body Practically all body chemistry depends on oxygen con- sumption.
