WE USE the word Galleries"

WE USE the word Galleries
w so often in this column,
passing it by without definition
as if every one understood ex-
actly what it meant, that yes
terday we paused and took up a
whole column to explain what
it was.
In summary, we said that it
was a unit of heat and that the
body's heat is a result of the
calories taken in and the calories
expended.
A resting man gives off about
as much heat as 60 watt cleo
trio bulb.
Galleries taken in are mostly
those furnished by the food, but
air temperature has something
to do with it, and calories ex-
pended are used up by bodily
activity, again air temperature,
clothing, etc.
The basal metabolism of the
body, which is the rate at which
the fire burns, and the basal
temperature, which Is how hot
the fire is, are closely related.
THIS conception of a static
l. caloric balance, however, is
stated merely for purpose of def
milton.
There is nothing the student
of nature learns so soon as that
nature is never still, never static.
The number of calories the
body is using as well as the body
temperature varies from hour to
hour; indeed the metabolism
varies from hour to hour, from
second to second.
Your temperature is a little
higher in the afternoon than in
the morning.
You've accumulated some
extra heat by your days &C
tivity.
If your calorie usage were
measured by a pendulum, it
would swing away over to one
side if you got up and ran
around the block, swing away
back as soon as you sat down.
In order to get it when the
pendulum is about still. we
have to catch you first thing in
the morning before you have
moved or even eaten.
That is why the basal meta
bolism is measured at that time
of the day.
DISEASE conditions influence
II calories usage.
The condition which disturbs
metabolism most is the condi-
ton of the thyroid gland.
A person with a diffuse goiter
may have the metabolism upset
so per cent by half hour auto
mobile ride.
Infection is the disease condi-
tion which upsets body tempera-
ture.
Food intake and bodily ac-
tivity are the normal natural
conditions which affect calorie
usage.
A tailor uses about 1000
calories a day, a washerwoman
about 300.
A man walking at five miles
an hour uses up so per cent
more calories than a man walk
ing three miles an hour.
nAILY food requirements for
- an adult of average size
should be about $500 calories a
day, but this depends on his
bodily activity.
Instinct and habit are prob
ably better guides to this than

But congress evidently VIII Hol dCl
without pressure.
VARIOUS bills have been presented to
V relieve the postmen, and all of them
have languished in committee.
Now the request is for an increase of
$3.50 per week for the duration.
That request is also cooling its heels in
the Capitol.
This unfair and shortsighted dawdling
must stop.
Not only to preserve the cohesion and
maintain the efficiency of the all-important
mail system, but to prevent an injustice
that may in turn cause an economic shock
to a highly meritorious and valuable body
of public servants.
1t is necessary to remind our repre-
sentatives in Congress that favorable
action on this matter is essential to our
mails to our economic stability and to the
relief of the men, and their families, who
so faithfully serve us.
Senate Bill 2674. providing adequate
compensation for the postmen, is now
under consideration.
Your senators and congressman should
be personally urged, in writing, to vote
toward passing of the measure.

What kind of flour do diabetic
patients use? Is soybean all
right for diabetic patient?
Answer-Diabetic flours are
made out of Vegetables that have
a high amount of protein and low
starch. There are many varieties.
To name some: gluten bread,
cellu bread, diaprotein, almond
bread, casein bread, etc.
Every grocer has some in
stock.
Soybeans are high in protein
and low in starch; therefore
would classify as diabetic flour.

Mate Could Replace Scant Tea,
But How to Get Enough Of 1t?
By Betsy Cas,DeH,
Women's News 1ditor

It seems apity that Just now, with
impending shortages Of tea and
coffee, We cannot turn 10 that
popular South American beverage,
mate, as . substitute.
Mate, although comparatively lit
tie known In the United States, has
won instant favor with those indi-
viduals who have tried including
1t In their breakfast menu or for
serving Is afternoon tea" It Is
made exactly like tea, and may be
purchased loose in tins, or in small
bags for individual servings. The
brewed mate is pale gold in color,
and tastes refreshingly Of aromatic
herbs, although herbs have nothing
to do with it-mate Is really the
leaf of . certain tree.
Long known for Its healthful and
refreshing qualities In South Amer
lea, 1t has been especially priced by
the men who ride for days over the
vast ranges, looking after huge
ranches and herds. It was found
that mate greatly increased these
workers endurance, and . pause
during the hard days ride, to brew
q warm, spicy drink enabled them
to ward OF fatigue for many hours
more. Chemical analysis shows that
mate contains several valuable Vita
mins-so therein probably lies the
secret of its refreshing qualities.
