L of 8 months, her seventh birthday occurred during the time. Professor
Jaffa, who made the investigation, says:--"It would appear that all the
subjects were decidedly under-nourished, even making allowance for their
light weight. But when we consider that the two adults have lived upon
this diet for seven years, and think they are in better health and
capable of more work than they ever were before, we hesitate to
pronounce judgment. The three children had the appearance of health and
strength. They ran and jumped and played all day like ordinary healthy
children, and were said to be unusually free from colds and other
complaints common to childhood. The youngest child, and the only one who
has lived as a fruitarian almost from infancy was certainly undeveloped.
She looked fully two years younger than she was. Still, there are so
many children who are below the average in development, whose dietaries
conform to the ordinary standards, that it would be unfair to draw any
conclusions until many more such investigations are made." The research
shows that not only is there need of a revision of the "standard"
quantity of proteids, but also of the carbo-hydrates and fats. It is
generally said by those who have no practical experience amongst
vegetarians, that the latter require a much larger quantity of food than
do those who include flesh. The truth is that vegetarians eat less,
often much less. It is a common experience that vegetable food has a
more staying power, and a much longer period can be allowed between
meals, without the inconvenience that a flesh-eater, especially a flesh
and alcohol consumer, suffers. This is due, in part at least, to its
less stimulating character and its slower digestion. This fact has been
shown by the success of vegetarians in feats of strength and endurance,
and especially in the comparatively fresh condition in which they have
finished long walking, cycling, tennis, and other matches. Those who
attempt to prolong their powers of endurance by flesh extracts and
stimulating foods and drinks, usually finish in a very exhausted
condition. The superior endurance and recovery from wounds, when
compared with our English soldiers, of simple feedin
