GLUTTONY A VIRTUE.
GROWING ROYS’ NEEDS. LONDON, Jan. 5. Professor V. H. Mottam (Professor of Physiology in the University of London), in an address to women sanitary inspectors, denied tlio truth of the common assertion that schoolboys are little pins.” On the contrary, he said, science showed that gluttony in growing boys was a very healthy sign. They should eat more than their fathers especially between the ages of 14 and 18, when they were entilted to as much food as a man doing a hard day’s work. Girls of between 11 and 13 required more food than boys, the professor added.
