REQUIREMENTS OF DAILY BASIC DIET

I>i. \ h ndenitig will aitswei
questions of general int• i • -t j
only, and ilifii only through

hut about foods. Imh- the average
North American I -oppose the
most poignant lesson is the mm»
her of foods lie funis la* ran <io ,
without. And indeed tin- possibili
ties of substitution const itiHe one i
of the must important things we !
have learned.
Others are the possihilitie* of
d» hydration and eminent rated ra
tions. Jn connection with the lat
ter several curious problems have
been worked out. A « hocolale bar
has been designed 1o -cive as an
emergency measure. The ^izc of
the bar was determined by the
size of the regulation hi i t pocket.
In the experimental stage it
was found necessary to doign a
bar thai would n<>t melt in the
tropics—'Would remain solid ai
1"J0W F. During tin* trials of vari
ous bar*; submitted, members of
the testing committee objected to
certain liars became they did not
taste very palatable. They were
surprised to learn that a de
lectable bar was m»t desired sin. j
this was designed as an emer
gency ration if the bar was too
good, tie soldi.-r would eat «t be
fore lie was actually in extremis.
Rules Not Rigid
I believe the mo*t important re*
suit uf war rationing has been to
teach that the rules of dietetic*
are not necessarily as rigid as the
new style nutritionists have laid
down. "Rules wen* made fur
slaves/' is a good rule for you to
ob-»*i ve at the dinner table, and
"What's one man's meat i- an
other man's poison" is one of the
soundest of dietetic advisements.
For instance, Piofessor tlcoige
R. C'owgill, of Yale, very prop
erly lays down the well-known
figure* that a l»atfie diet rnu-t fur
nish (a) energy, (b> protein, (c)
minerals ami (d) vitamins, and
that the energy U del ived from
protein, carbohydrate and fat.
each yielding respectively t. J. and
9 calorics per gram, and that the
average man of To kilograms (l"» 1
pounds) weight requires on the
average ft,000 caloi ies a day.
Then he goes on to say very
