is the secret OF successful dehy-

the midst Of all the discussion
about improving the national nu-
triton: Nobody on earth knows
what an optimum diet is"
Startling, because everybody
has been talking as if 1t we're gen.
orally agreed exactly what the OPP
timum human diet is.
What is the definition of an OPP
timum Diet Well, it !. a little
more than an adequate diet. The
medical dictionary defines optl-
mum thus: The temperature or
other conditions at which vital
processes are carried on with the
greatest activity"
So an optimum diet is the diet
with which vital processes are car
ried on with the greatest activity.
An adequate diet maintains health.
Thus you can keep healthy rats
up to so generations in more
than average activity and fertil-
ity on a diet which consists of one
sixth whole dried milk and five
sixths Of ground whole wheat.
Increase the proportion Of dried
milk to one-third and there is a
marked improvement in nutrition
and positive health. Growth is
more rapid and efficient, death
rates are lower, the period Of the
prime Of life is increased and fer
tility is greater, But as you keep
adding food elements a place is
reached where obesity and slug
gishness appears, initiative and
activity decrease. Somewhere in
between is the theoretical "opti-
mum diet"

No Exact Definition

We know in a general way what
1t is, but the scientific mind likes
exact definition in mathematical
terms and that we cannot give for
the optimum diet.
A group Of San Francisco dem
fists whom we quoted recently,
Drs. Collins, Jensen and Beck, in
the course Of their experimental
work sent out a QUESTIONABLE TO a
number of nutritionists, physiolo-
gists and clinicians trying to find
out what the definitions and speci-
fications OF an optimum diet are.
A large number refused to at
tempt definition, saying that on
account Of the incompleteness Of
the present knowledge Of nutri-
tional requirements a specific an
swer could not be written.
One research worker said, III
human beings were as uniform in
familial and inheritance charac-
ters as a colony Of rats, an opti-
mum diet could be reliably ap-
praised. But they are not. The OPP
timum diet of the Eskimo is quite
unlike that of the Negro in the
bayous Of Louisiana. One may
find a myriad Of varying tastes
and digestive cap titles which af-
feet the utilization Of diet"
In general, as | say. we know
that human being must have at
least so grams Of protein daily,
from 1000 to 5000 calories depend
ing on his activity, and vitamins
and minerals. SO much milk, eggs,
meat, grains, cereals, fruits and
vegetables are the basic products
which contain these chemical ele-
ments. But how much of the CAL
ORIG intake should be supplied by
carbohydrate, or fat, or protein,
we do not know. Can you safely re-
duce the carbohydrate intake for
the sake Of the teeth? The exact
answer is unknown.

guard it more closely. And now that we
are experiencing cold wet weather, unex-
pected changes in temperature, every 10y
al American owes it to himself and his
country to keep careful watch over his
health and that of his family. During the
coming months, dangers are greater, yet,
on the other hand, few men in private bus
mess, where in most cases they are short
handed, or in defense work, can afford the
losses resulting from Sickness
Fortunately we have suffered no cpl
denies like the spanish flu, but there
is always possibility of an epidemic in
war times Even without an epidemic our
country has suffered severe loss in the war
effort, through sickness. Every working
day lost means the slowing up in produc-
ton. And this multiplied, soon results in
the loss of tanks, guns, equipment.
The home front is perhaps less fortified
at this time against illness than our war
work front. There are fewer doctors and
nurses than in normal times. In peace
times, Public Health Service found that
100000 were sick on the average during
the cold months. It also found that sick
ness among the very poor was 68 per cent
higher than among Others
Just now most of us are having to do
with less heat. And in some cases this
may prove an aid to health. We are also
having to cut down on certain types of
food, and this, too, may improve our
health. Health is not a state of wishful
thinking, but is something most of us can
do something about if we have the will
power to act. Whatever we can do, we
should do, to maintain better health in
1913. 1t not only shows good common
sense, but patriotism to avoid sickness
when it is possible.
