SHOULD MEN EAT MORE THAN WOMEN.
A scientist has discovered that men need 5 or 6 per cent, more nutrition than women. An investigation at the nutrition laboratory of the Carnegie Institute shows that the average man generates 1608 heat units or calorics in 24 hours, while poor, feeble woman, under similar conditions, generates only 1355. This, however, will be good news (if it ever reaches them) to some English labouring people where "the mau” consumes his beefsteak or rasher (that it to say 100 or 200 per cent, more than the wife) while she nibbles a crust. Similarly was it a consolation to Victorian women when they were told that they had oneeighth or so less grey matter in the brain than men. From the way man acted they had always been forced to consider themselves compared to man as still almost In the pre-human stage so far as brain was concerned. The scientists crushing discovery was quite a lift-up !
