\ Control Over a Mans Diet Means Control Over His Conduct I OlTI.AU tradition. ob ? servos n writer in the Now York T'nies. has al- ; ways claimed. that diet, more than anything else, makes the man. and now scientists are reatllrtning tlie fact. FikmI is what t x\ produces linman energy, I ^1/1 physical and spiritual, j Food Is what builds the j tioiii" and conditions the j growth of the mind. I'y means <>f j proper victuals tlie blood maintains i its neutrality, tlie heart Its regular i heat, the nerves and muscles their j ready response to every impulse. The! dyspeptic has always been remarkable . fur his jaundiced temper and erratic ways ; the anemic man marked by his | lack of virility. Chronic indigestion ; uieans c hronic mental depression, ac- j cording to Doctor McCollum. author of "The Newer Knowledge of Nutrition.' aud he goes en to say : "Intolerance : tends to develop in those who are con tinually in low spirits, and there can i be no reasonable doubt that the diet j may deviate in the United States to j a degree which can easily cause the . results we see." ? ? ? ? ? ? ? However much you may feel that your appetites determine what you shall eat. there is ultimately very little free will for most- of the world in the 1 choice of food. Most men ure born to a certain bill of fare just as they are born to th'eir racial environment. For the average man his diet, like his re ligion, is largely a matter of tribal : custom, and it persists more strongly j than his hereditary ideas about God. It is as inescapable as childhood mem ories. It lasts through his life, even though he wander far from home. The , Rostonian who has resided in ttie Mid dle West for the last thirty years still j cherishes an attachment for the beans and brown bread, the clams and the i clam chowder of his childhood. At home you must dine according I to the family customs; in Home you ! must eat as the Romans do. The cui- i sine of every one is unconsciously lim- j ited by the community he lives in. People eat what their neighbors eat, j and will continue to do so whether the ; effects ure .good or bad. It becomes j almost a matter of self-respect. This j was Illustrated in the recent epidemic of beri-beri in southern China, where the coolies continued to demand pol ished instead of unpolished rice, even after the former was shown to be the cause of the disease. The poorest Chinamen, who ate little else, took pride in the fact that at least their rice was as white as their neighbors', and stubbornly refused the safe, un polished article. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Since the nations differ as widely In temperament as in fare, one natu rally wonders what effect a national diet has upon its consumers. Is the character of John Hull molded by the mutton he eats? Does the fierce lit tle chili which Mexicans love incite to revolution? It seems plausible enough that a diet of "black pepper flavored with red pepper" should make for hot temper; that the slow, unsplced dishes of Scandinavia should produce the phlegmatic Swede. It is common scandai that tlie Germans Wat live meals a day, with the result that they are plodding but ponderous, Remem ber that the German genius has cre ated buffoons like Till Kulenspiegel. but ? except for Heine, who was a Jew ? not a single great humorist has come ? v ? .1 from Cermany. Whereas France. with its piquant rookery, tins borne a na tion of volatile wits, among whom have been Itahelais and Voltaire. On tlie other hand, a species can be strengthened by better diet. Japanese children born in this country are uni formly taller than hoys and girls of tiie same age in Japan, where there Is practically no milk supply. Milk is always a great factor in producing physical size and strength. The vigor of pastoral peoples is well known. In the high pasture lands of central Asia the Aryans and Mongols devel oped. There, in a climate of extreme heat, cold and drought, originated the virile people who have conquered cli mate and soil in every direction more favorable to easy existence. Abstemi ous nomads, who knew no indulgence and were every year brought face to face with the disaster of scanty rain fall. they left their homes in wave after wave and dispossessed their neighbors in more fortunate lands. The Arabs, who are a direct survival of the early Aryan .tribes, are well devel oped, athletic, courageous in caring for their tlocks under trying condi tions. Their cupboards contain meat, cereal and dates, but chiefly they live upon soured milk ? goats' and camels', milk in the form of cheese and dried curds. The Cossacks, too, who are noted for their brawn, eat a great many dried curds. From such facts Doctor McCollum is led to generalize: "Wher ever dairy animals are abundant in | proportion to the population, fine physical development is seen." Fine j mental development does not always ; accompany, it, we must add. For the Kaffirs of South Africa, drinking quan ! titles of milk, are perfect milksops, while China, entirely without dairy products, built up one of the greatest civilizations the world has ever known. ? ?????* It is hard to say just what foods will ! accelerate the mind, but it is perfectly > easy to tell what will clog mental and j physical activity ? notably, too much j meat and too few vegetables. In some ways a strictly carnivorous diet is i good, illustrated by the Lapps, who 1 live almost wholly on reindeer herds ! and tish. They are a short, heavily made people, of good body develop inent and great endurance. So were ! the primitive Eskimos, who, subsist ' ing also on a carnivorous diet, did not even have a word for toothache in their language until seventy-five years ago. But these people have the same reluctance as carnivorous animals to ! exerting themselves. Like the weil j fed lion or tiger, they are lethargic i and remain idle as much as possible, j They work only when hunger makes ! them, and they never think, except un 1 der strong pressure. Doctor Grenfel start's I lint the Kskimo Is n poor fish | erman. and will rntch only one flsb to a white man's ten. This is attrib utable in part to intoxication from poi sons of bacterial origin, due to putre faction of proteins in the intestine. *?????? The meats of industrial nations, It is true, are very different from those j of a carnivorous people. The latter eat all the flesh' of an animal, and the marrow and t he vitals as well, whereas our meats consist chiefly I of muscle-cuts ? steaks, chops, joints, etc. But in either case, excess pro duces lethargy. Consider those Brit ishers who live upon mutton and black pudding, and know the reason for their | stolidity. It used to be supposed that meat ?was what made a man red-blooded, and prizefighters were fed raw beef steak to make them doubly ferocious. Now we know better. Green vege tables. once considered harmless, ap pear to have a much more savage ef- 1 feet. Wc hear how the Turks will arise from a meal of cucumbers, and ?jo out to massacre Armenians. The vegetarian, after all, is the man to be feared;, and we feel how fortunate it is that no people is strictly vegetari an, In the sense that certain animals are. Since food can so affect the behavior l of races and persons, it follows that i I control over a man's diet means con- ! j trol over his conduct. Prison authori ties have always known this. They feed the convicts saltpeter, which, as the exact opposite of an aphrodisiac, keeps down riots in the Jails. This J offers an interesting suggestion to j housewives who have not yet discov- [ ered that the hand that tills the larder ; is the hand that rules the world. In the kitchen, the mother of a family has a power for good and evil which she hardly suspects. But if she will only select three wise, well-mixed j meals a day, she may expect that the home tires will not fail. Surgical Pencil Among' the most interesting pencils ; made is one intended for the use of surgeons. For marking outlines or J divisions on the surface of a patient's ! body before performing an operation the use of the pencil is sometimes \ necessary, and, as the ordinary pencil is useless, a special one is made which | marks the skin as clearly as an or dinary lead pencil will mark a sheet of paper. I Speeding the Crops Dr. MethodI Popoff, professor In the University of Sofia and Bulgarian am bassador to Berlin, lays claim to hav ing increased the yields of many crops, including cotton, cereals and tobacco, by from 20 to 50 per cent, by a process of chemical treatment of the seed. He has used various stimu lants, such as magnesium chloride and a number of metallLc salts, which are poiftopous to vegetable as well as to | animal life when taken In large quan tities. He immerses the seeds In the proper chemical solution, leaving them there for a fixed time. If left too lone, the seed life is destroyed; if not long enough the chemical is ineffective. Unconvincing Fanny Hurst, the well-known writer, was discussing her recent Russlon | tour. "It was horrible," she said. "The Bolsheviks tried to put their best foot foremost, but they couldn't hide the fact that the condition of iiussia is unbelievably horrible. "The Bolshevik defenders of that horrible, tortured country were nbout as convincing as the Dutch barber. "A patron snid to the Dutch barber: . " 'Can you honestly rfcooinmend this hair-grower?' '"Can I? You just bet I can,' the barber answered. 'Look what a head of hair I got.' Then he removed his hair, for it was only a wig, and went on, 'And now look bow bald I was before uaiaV " IMPORTANT NEWS THE WORLD OVER IMPORTANT HAPPENINGS OP THIS AND OTHER NATIONS FOR SEVEN DAYS GIVEN THE NEWS CF THE SOUTH ?
