10 review some OF the fundamental
principles Of this subject which is
Of such understanding importance.
Although the vitamins have
been stealing the show lately, the
real fundamental is calories. No
supplements of vitamins or min
erals can alter the laws of the con-
servation Of energy. If you get
enough calories in your diet, it
would take the ingenuity Of all
the brain trusters working like
Kentucky miners to keep you from
getting your vitamins. And if you
plunge on vitamins alone, you will
starve TO death just the same as II
you were on a desert island.
4 Unit of Measure
A calorie is nothing but a unit
Of measurement. We tind in daily
life that we have to use units from
morning till night. What time is
it," How tall is he?" How hot is
it," So a calorie is the scientific
nutritionist's way of answering
How much nutrition is there in
that food" 1t is a unit Of heat,
but unit Of heat practically is a
unit of nutrition because your
body temperature is kept level by
the burning of calories.
OF course, the body is kept in
temperature equilibrium by other
thEgs too.
The amount Of heat given off by
the resting man of average size is
about equal to the heat of a 90
watt electric bulb, or the flame of
an alcohol lamp one inch high.
A man exercising hard has the
heat Of ten such lamps. We all
range between one or the other of
these extremes in the course OF
every day, and on different days
We use varying amounts of Gallo
ries. We are not steady users of
heat like the lamp, But an aver
age can be struck and for this the
term basal metabolism" is EN-
ployed.
1t Is the resultant Of two fac
tors: basal heat production and
basal heat loss. Exercise or shiv-
ering produces heat; sweating or
painting reduces the body's heat.
A great many things besides &C
tivity and food affect the body's
temperature such as outside
temperature. Last, winter in Rus
STA a soldier who had been keep
ing his heat production up by
food and marching, if wounded,
would fall to the ground and lose
so much heat that he would be in
shock in less than an hour.
The cooling that comes on hot
day from q movement Of air is a
most effective factor in heat loss.
An air-conditioned room is uncom-
Portable unless there is an electric
fan turned on every once in a
while. You hear people say they
are going to walk around to get
cool; it ought to heat them up, but
it makes sense. Even small move
meuts Of the body cause consider
able increase in the tapping Of the
clothing.
Basal metabolism and basal
temperature are thus closely re-
.ated, both depending upon Gallo
ries coming in or going out.

Closing Chicago Grain

CHICAGO, July 11.-Wheat, rye

traders took market action on the
basis Of increased Government esti-

Corn, however, rose almost a cent

result Of unfavorable weather during
