Althongh many causes may be as- signed to the alleged deterioration of the human race, the unwise choice of foods Is not one of the most important factors. Given an ordinary every-day diet--a diet balanced by the individ- ual's preference for quality, variety, taste, and economy--it makes no dif- ference what the healthy individuad eats. Most people need know very lit- tle about the ash content of their orange juice, the caloric value of bacon and eggs, or carbohydrate, fat, protein of mineral contents. In the selection of food man may still profit- ably heed the dictates of his instinct and experience, Yet the gullibility of the average In- dividual, particularly in matters of health, is notorious, and he is easily impressed by the recommendations of advertisers and pseudo-sclentists with respect to certain foods, Orange grow- ers, for instance, would have us be- lieve that a large number of people are suffering from acidosis, and that the prevention and cure of this disease lies In the consumption of large amounts of orange juice. Now acidosis implies an acid reaction of the body tissues. The description of the physio- logical factors governing this reaction is a long story, but Ilmay tell you that of all the mechanisms the human body possesses to combat disease, that which prevents acidosis is one of the most efficient we know of. Except in prolonged starvation and in a few seri- ous illnesses, acidosis does not exist. One cereal manufacturer would have us do away with coffee. Is coffee to lead to the deterioration of the human race? Life insurance companies, with their vast experience in mortalities and morbidities, mignt have some in- formation on this subject. These com- panies, in order to prosper, must be very alert in investigating the health and habits of their applicants; they pool their information and take ad- vantage of every medical advance, but I believe they have, as-yet, to ask an applicant--Do you drink coffee? The dairy industries would have us flood our tissues with milk. Is milk an indispensable part of the adult's diet? The answer may be fouhd in the natural history of animal and man, Briefly, milk is supplied by the mam- malian adult to its young, and this supply varies in different species from approximately one month to one year after birth. Thereafter, none of the species in the state of nature is fur nished with milk, Milk, therefore, cannot be considered a natural food for the adult animal. Since these ani- mals live and continue to propagate, it is obvious that the adult diet must contain all of the necessary food ele- ments which are present in the ma- ternal milk. Man's diet affords no ex- ception to this rule. Whole-wheat bread offers an ex- ample of psychological bias .unning contrary to experimental facts. Since milling became known, civilized man has tended to depart from the whole- 'wheat bread of his ancestors. In spite of all "bread reform" efforts to keep up the use of this product, white bread has almost universally displaced it among civilized peoples. With the ad- vent of the Great War, Germany, and eventually the entire 'world, of neces- sity took to whole-wheat bread, but shortly afterward reverted largely to the white produce Insistence upon the use of whole-wheat bread has been based latterly upon its high content of a certain vitamin, its value in the relief of intestinal disorder, and its nutritional value. It might therefore be of interest to those who do not re- lish this article of diet, to know that Vitamin B is found in a variety of other and more attractive products, and as far as the intestinal disorder is concerned, other substances may be used more economically and efficients ly. As for its nutritional value, the verdict i8 "not proven"; white flour is beyond any doubt a better source of energy. One of the sugars which whole-wheat bread contains, called pentose, yields about 26 per cent. less In addition, it has been shown that the. proteins of bran are digested with great difficulty, and are only partly] _ ~ |utilized.

When we read of similar practices among the Medicine men of the Congo we call them fetish- es and tabus, The reaction of the medical profes- sion in general, to the incorporation of vitamins in food, is succinctly put in The British Medical Journal of April 18th, 1931. Apropos of incorporation of vitamins in bread, 'he' statement reads as follows: it is possible that good results on the general health of the population might follow an increased consump- tion of Vitamin B, though the point is open to much controversy . . . It seems, on the whole, unlikely that the artificial addition of vitamins to bread would profit any but the firms who could advertise the article to the dis- advantage of their rivals. Because rats fed on a diet deficient in Vitamins Bl and B2 cease to gain weight and die in three weeks, it does not follow that we must eat foods ex. posed to ultra-violet rays. This ex- periment merely proves that these vitamins are a necessary part of food; but experiment has also shown that vitamins are very widely distributed in nature and our natural foods... We are told in one advertisement that one must become almost a student of the subject in order to obtain the proper supply of vitamins. May 1 suggest that one must be a very expert stu- dent on the subject to avoid them. One can hardly dismiss this subject without mention of yeast--a product go prominent in the public eye at pre- sent, In spite of its well advertised high vitamin content, I believe I may state without hesitation that notwith- standing the "endorsement of "the physician to former Spanish Royalty," a "noted Viennese hospital authority," and others, that good health and long life are still perfectly compatible with- out the daily consumption of a cake or two of this product. If you ask for an explanation of the use of these physi- cians' names, my answer is that all of these endorsements come from parts of Europe where the struggle for exist- ence is at present acute. I am not attempting to belittle the very valuable work which has been done in the science of nutrition. But as new facts are established the medi- cal profession applies 'them where it believes they should be applied. The exercise of judgment is most import- ant, for we now have definite experi megtal proof that excess quantities of at least one of the vitamins can do no harm, producing a condition not unlike that founds in hardening of the ar- teries. If left alone man will choose a variety and sufficient quantity of foods, and because of this variety and quantity his diet will contain all of the essential food elements. Modern com- forts may at times tempt him to eat too much but he will eventually learn as Insurance statistics show, that when he adds ten pounds to the belt- line, he subtracts about one year from the life-line. ree ere .

Professor Werner Schmeidler, Bres- lau mathematics teacher, is credited with the invention. 'His principle is carried out by attaching to the body of the plane two additional smaller wings which, when not needed, rest in the fuselage. It 1s claime. that the use of such valuable surfaces makes fiying safe and more economical. Demonstrations here showed that the inventor's plane, when starting with enlarged wings, rose within a' few seconds. It required half the time to lift itself from the ground that an ordinary craft needed. The plane auto- matically increased its speed from seventy miles to ninety miles an hour when the auxiliary wings were re- moved during flight. The extra spread also works as a brake when applied during the landing manoeuvre. The larger wing surface offers a strong resistance to the wind. aris A FOUNDATION How much more powerful 'a mo- tive in human actions fs love than fear!

Bri tain--and' even Royal personages-- have often been a little resentful of being dogged or having their homes guarded by detectives, though there are times when such precautions are very necessary. But in some respects the full rigour of this guardianship is now being re- laxed--as, for instance, at Chequers. Mr. Ramsay MacDonald is probably responsible for the change at Chequers, But in getting the Home Secretary to consent to it he has been more for- tunate than some past Premiers, Gladstone, for instance, once de- manded that the guard on Hawarden should be withdrawn, but Sir William Harcourt, who was then Home Secre- | tary, refused, and the Premier had to | Submit, | At that time, as the Phoenix Park | murders showed, the dapgers of public life were very real, and Mr, Glad- | stone's guards must have had an anxi- !| ous time. So had those of the late Earl Balfour, who often tried to dodge them. Queen Victoria was also impatient of guards, and on one occasion inform- |ed the then Home Secretary, with great delight, that two "suspicious persons" had been arrested at Os- borne. One of them was Prince Ar. thur, now the Duke of Connaught, and the other the Queen's maid. But it is when foreign: Royalties or statesmen from overseas come to this country that the most stringent pre. ! cautions have to be taken.
