MAN CAN EXIST
ON MEAT ALONE
But Over Long Stretches It
Produces Ill Effects.

By EDITH M. BARBER

Early man, after he learned how to make weapons and traps, lived when he could upon meat alone. He considered as the daintiest tidbit the warm heart of a freshly killed animal. He ate the raw marrow from the long bones and probably gnawed the bones themselves.

Not long ago, Stefansson, in his Arctic explorations, found that on this same type of diet he remained in fit physical condition. In order to check the results of such a diet a series of experiments under the auspices of Bellevue hospital were conducted. Dr. Stefansson and an associate lived entirely upon meat for over a year. The meat included liver, kidney, brain, marrow, bacon and other fats as well as the usual cuts of meat and poultry. At the end of this time they were found to be in excellent condition.

Dr. Stefansson, however, questions whether a meat diet throughout life would be without ill effects. He suggests that one of the reasons for the short life span of the Eskimo is the fact that this type of diet speeds metabolism, and perhaps causes the body organs to overwork.

It is fortunately not necessary for any of us to live on such an expensive and monotonous diet, although as the explorer himself says "You could live on meat if you wanted to; but there is no driving reason why you should."

Remove Dust First

It is unwise to use a paint or varnish brush as a duster. The particles of dust will often cling to the hairs in the brush and come out when the brush is used for painting. Dust or lint should be removed with a damp cloth. If the dust is left on the surface the particles will always show up greatly enlarged in the final finish coat of paint.
