A certain amount of wear and tear oc- curs and a limited amount of repair material is needed. The structure of the human body having been built, only limited quantities of the protein matertals, or bullding stones, are needed for maintenance.” Then Dr. Fisk told me how certain scientists have experimented with working men placed in a big glass chamber with an apparatus for measuring exactly the number of units of heat and energy consumed during a day of twenty-four hours. The men worked eight hours and rested sixteen. According to this test, a tailor consumes from 2,100 to 2,700 calories daily; a metal worker about 3,000 calories, a painter tn the neighborhood of 3,500 calortes; & stoneworker something over 4,000 calories, @ shoemaker @ bare 2,500 calories. “That is the measure of the food these men should consume, he summed up. “It is true that a man engaged in hard outdoor exercise can burn up greater quantities of meat or protein food than a sedentary worker, but the risk of damage from ashes is still there and the fuel is inordinately expensive from a financial as well as & physiological standpoint.
