Show Appetite Not a Necessity. Ir. John H. Murlln of New York, assistant as-sistant professor of physiology at the Cornell unlversslty medical college, In an article In the October number of the Journal of the Outdoor Life, compares com-pares the food we eat to the fuel used tn furnishing steam and power for an engine. In selecting our food he says that we should eat enough to furnish energy for the day's work, but that nut eh more than this Is not needed. He holds that the appetite Is not a necessity ne-cessity for good digestion. "There Is no fallacy of nutrition," he says, "greater than that which supposes that a food cannot be digested and utilized without appetite." Most of the i food we eat, fully four fifths, goes to i supply energy for our every-day tasks, i while less than one fifth goes to supply sup-ply building material. |
