Why Men Eat More Thar Women.
That men eat Ave or elx per cent
more than women-?not because they
tre gluttons, hut because they actually
require that much more nourishment
?appears aa a result of an investiga
tion made In the nutrition laboratory
of the Carntfle Institute at WaahlnK
ton by Francis G. Benedict snd I* K.
Bame?, aaya the literary Digest. The
reason for the discrepancy seema to
be that women hare a smaller propor
tion of active tissues than men of
the eame weight snd more Inactive
material, eneh as fat The Investiga
tion disclosed that the average warn
an generate? ohly 1,355 heat antta In
tha 14 hours, as against 1,638 pro
duced by the *man. or about two per
cent morn for the latter per pound Of
body weight. When group? wers com
pared, after careful selection of indl
vldusls of nearly the same height snd
Waifbt, the men were found to pro
duce about It per cent more heat than
women.
