Not only viii these changes take

1t Is true that when the board of di-
rectors of a national bank violates tho
provisions of a banking statute the
bank itself may be sued for the for
fixture OF its charter, but this remedy
is so violent that it has been used only
upon one occasion. In any case. its
enforcement would mean the closing of

Il realize that from the standpoint
Of the banker banking is private
business similar to other gainfui occu-

business principles of freedom of action
and unity of responsibility upon boards
of directors should not be subjected to
what might be called governmental in

So much has been said
against meat that something
should be said to comfort the
fellow who likes to eat meat,
and may be scared off by the
extremist preaching on the
subject.
Meat contributes several ad-
vantages to a balanced diet. In
the first place. protein that is
easily digested and absorbed
and that is natural to the hui
man digestive tract. The body
needs about 100 grams (three
ounces) Of protein daily. Most
meats are about 20 per cent
protein, so Is ounces Of meat
are required to supply that
necessary allowance. OF course
vegetables contain protein. but
vegetable protein Is not nearly
as readily utilized by the body
and much Of it is probably not
utilized at all. Milk and eggs
furnish animal protein, but it
is practically the same >chemi-
cally as meat protein, ans. If
meat causes degenerative dis
ease so will milk and eggs.
