Man grows cooler with age, not only mentally and emotionally, but in actual production of heat. In a long study of metabolism, the process by which Nature provides man with vital energy through the combus- tion of food in the body cells, Dr. Fran- cis G. Benedict, director of the nutrition laboratory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, has found that such fac- tors as , sex, size and height have distinct effects on this fundamental phe- | o, nomenon. ""he average new-born baby, weigh- |% ing fbout 8 pounds, has a 24-hour basal heat production of 143 calories,” he says; weighing about 92 pounds, has a heat production of 1200 calories. and the average man, weighing 155 pounds, 1,700 calories. Baby’s Average High. “Thus the baby, less than one-tenth the weight of the 13-year-old girl, pro- duces considerably more than one-tenth that of the latter. In comparison with an adult man weighing nearly 20 times as much, the baby produces one-twelfth eat. “Again. it was at first supposed that two individuals of the same weight could the average 13-year-old girl, | PSG " age, having a more intense metabolism than he adult. b becomes pronounced, boys and men being on the average about 12 per cent higher than that of girls and women.” Incomes of British railways last year ‘were more than $100,000,000. * ee /s special ESS chassis display and the costly car way it is builf f. 0. b.
