THE FIRST law Of thermo-
dynamics that's what the pnysl-
cists call'it. It was discovered by 2
brewers son who chllrned water.
This is perhaps an unnecessarily
dramatic way of describing James
Prescott JouIe, but it is quite accu-
rate. The first law of thermo-
dynamics states that heat energy is
convertible into mechanical energy.
He proved it by rigging up a pad
die wheel in box of water. he TOOK
the temperature of the water before
and after he had churned it, and ne
found that the temperature had in
creased; that, in fact. the mechan,
ical energy had been transformed
into heat.
The mechanical work the body
does conforms closely to this rule
In the muscle, heat produced by the
burning of sugar, by. its union with
oxygen, is converted into mechan-
ical energy-the movement OF the
muscle.
This is the main function of car.
bohydrate foods-the sugars ane
starches that are derived from
vegetables, fruits, cereals and bread
Before being absorbed into the blooo
they are all changed in the digestive
system into sugars, as sugars arr
stored in the liver (some storage II
the muscles themselves) and are
ready to be converted into energy
About half of all our food intake
should be carbohydrate.
Learned from Diabetes
We have learned a great dea
about the mechanism Of this process
and we have learned it from thu
study Of a disease-diabetes. Th'
muscle may be compared to gaso
line engine. The gasoline is repre-
scented by sugar. Sugar and oxygel
are brought together, just as gaso
line vapor and air are brought to
gether in the carburetor. The mix
ture requires a spark in each case
In the muscle the spark is caused b.
a substance produced in the pan
creas, insulin.

There will be no bitterness

the power of committee appoint

gladly and take responsibility for
failure or success. But if the pow
