Depression Increases Mental Cases

patients are themselves in difficult
financial circumstances.
Therefore, the burden Of having
the care of these people is passed
back to the hospital and the num-
Der of paroles and discharges has
diminished from 5 to 20 per cent.
Komora feels that the average
man and his family have borne up

pressure and that the available sta
tistics are a tribute to the sanity
of the American people and their
capacity for adjustment.
However, new problems will begin
to appear shortly. due to contin-

tax to the utmost our facilities for
taking care of mental disease.

Good ar Bad2

TT will be asked at once whether,

Wakeham continues.
For the present. this is matter
Of private Interpretation.
Convinced vegetarians argue that
their lower metabolic rate. without
any apparent sacrifice of health or
activity, indicates a greater eff
cheney Of the vegetarian metabolism.
LAS far as the actual case and
completeness Of digestion is con-
cerned. it has been shown that
vegetarian foods offer no definite
advantages over we'll cooked flesh
foods.
The difference lies deeper than
digestion and absorption. 1t APP
parently has to do with the actual
taking up Of the digested and abb
sorbed foods by the cells.
Meat eaters commonly hold that
vegetarians live slower, more bo-
vine life than the average person.

stimuli, and are not so alert and

1T is well known that a high
protein diet has a stimulating ef-

not the same thing as the effect

quires years for its development
For the present. then. tha actual
significance Of this observation is

For thousands of years. Professor
Wakeham points out. physicians
and philosophers have discussed
the relative merits OF vegetarian
ism and non-vegetarianism.

Must Have Leaders

JAPAN can not make war without
- such leaders as Inukal, with
out the support Of her old, con-
servative families. without the help
OF her great bankers, without main
tanning her credit and reputation
for stability.
Young bloods IN uniform can
murder the greatest statesman that
ever lived. but they can not fill his
place. They can blow up banks,
but they can not borrow money, or
buy good on notes. They can de-
moralize people, but they can not
develop an organization and a
leadership which is necessary to
united, forceful action.

How Il Started

Vie present WORK started WltA
J. the observation that the ba-
salmetabolic rates Of several life
time vegetarians-nurses in training
in a vegetarian institution-were
notably low. without any reason
that could be assigned" DR.. Wake
ham says.
The girls were strong. healthy.
active, of at least average intelli-
gence, and apparently quite normal.
The only reason that could be
suggested for their low metabolic
rates was the fact that they had
always been strictly-religious
vegetarian.
The mere thought of eating
meat nauseated them. and they
never had tasted animal food. aside.
from milk and eggs. in any form.
1T was not easy to find a suffi-
cient number of vegetarians of this
type to prove, with a reasonable
degree of fnality, the generality OF
this effect.
Many Of the 'vegetarians' working
in vegetarian institutions proved,
upon investigation, to be Of the
type who do not eat meat unless
they can get it.
Then, having found a genuine
vegetarian, one may not be able TO
persuade him to undergo the some
what disagreeable and time-con-
Stunning tests

over two years. my assistants and
myself were able to carry out tests

consisting Of twenty lifetime vege-
tarians, the other OF fifty people

He said the cost of medical attention
