MAY IQ, 1916 published in this column headed by a letter from a young woman in the Bronx who criticized policemen for their indifference to suffering animals. The article was published with the young lady's initial and some com ments of the writer which suggested a. school of education for policemen in kindness to animals. The article has brought forth the following interesting letter from a policeman: Policeman Not Always Free to Follow His Own Inclinations Dear Madam—ln your article on kindness to animals in the Evening Journal of November 19, you criticise policemen for their indifference toward suffering animals. 1 wonder if you know that the po liceman's lot is in many instances worse than the stray dog you say they beat with their sticks! The dog can find something in a garbage can to sat isfy his appetite but the policeman has to fast for nine and ten hours at i time. It is too bad the officer laughed at the young woman, but if lie had con versed with her for a few minutes he would be leaving himself liable to charges for which he would surely be fined as much as five days' pay. If you don't believe this, go down to the trial room at Police Headquarters any trial day, and you will find conditions the more deserving of your sympathy than the dogs. She probably never thought that there was a human shoo-fly watching the policeman, ready to frame him up for fifteen minutes' conversation if he spoke to her for two. Did she stop fo think what kind of a reception the policeman would get at the station house if he brought in a stray dog to Mr. Lieutenant? You don't need any school fo teach policemen kindness to animals. .lust now, we are studying physiology, psy chology, idiosyncrasy, laws, ordinances, rules, drill and gymnastics, and, occa sionally, our chaplain lectures us on theology, if we require anything fur ther. it is the insane asylum. 1 assure you, policemen as a rule are not unkind to suffering animals (as we are friends in misery). But we are a little jealous of the rich lady's dog, so comfortably clothed and fed, while we stand hungry in the cold. Yours re spectfully. A POLICEMAN.

FISCHER & CO., Importers, 190 Franklin St., New York City ■■ the New York policemen for many peo ple They are such hearty, ruddy, healthy looking men, I think It never occurs to most of us that they can be hungry or in need of the necessities of life. Unquestionably the policeman's fa miliarity with the disorderly type of street riff-raff hardens his heart after a time and causes him to he more or less brusque in his treatment of these un fortunates. A young woman of the writer's ac quaintance was unexpectedly detained over night at a friend's house where she had dined. Her home was only a few blocks distant; in the morning she started to walk home this short distance with a long wrap covering her evening gown; she was hit by an iron pole which was being carried in a wagon by a careless driver. The young woman was unconscious for some moments. When she awakened she found herself in the hands of a very severe policeman, who considered her, evidently, from her evening cos tume, much the worse for liquor. He was determined to convey her to the station house and was very skeptical when she assured hint that" she was a respectable individual, with a home near by. She was finally allowed to return to her home, and called a phy sician to attend to her bruises. No doubt the policemen become har dened in their too frequent contempla tion or the rough and disorderly ele ment and too frequently find state ments made to them by those whom they are obliged to arrest lacking foun dation in truth. Compassion Is not only the policemen's need but the need of humanity to-day. MOST HOSPITAL DIETS ALL WRONG Telegraph's Food Kxpert Points Out Lessons of Kronprinz Crew's Downfall Tht Crew of tlie Kronprinz Willielm Have Demons*rated lor the World That the Average Hospital Wet (Tea, White Bread Toast, Mashed Potatoes, Chops Corn Staroli, Pudding;. Farina, Mice. Etc.) Is Worthless—Americans May Persist In Ignoring the Signifi cance of the Kronprinz Willielm Fpi sode., Both for Themselves anil Their Children, but It No longer Can Be Doubted That the Blood of Men. Bob bed of the -Normal Food Elements of Which Healthy Blood Is Composed, Cannot, and Does Not, Perform the Miracle Which Is Foolishly Expected of it. At the time of the Kronprinz Wil helm episode it was suggested to the United States government that the 500 men aboard the cruiser should he looked upon as a base for scientific observation. It was obviously the duty of science to keep these men under surveillance in order that the effects of their ex traordinary dietlc experience might be closely ascertained and properly inter preted for humanity at large. If exclusive feeding on white bread, butter, fresh meat, canned vegetables, cheese, sweet cakes, biscuits, coffee, condensed milk, and sugar is followed by disaster the fact should be known. It was pointed out at the time that of (he 500, the 110 who had .passed beyond the limit of toleration in their unhappy experience were perhaps slightlv more fortunate than the other 390 who still stood a little this side the breaking point. Prior to the sudden prostration of these victims of demineralized food, none qf them had any serious sus picion that he was about to be strick en, but those who, through pain and exhaustion, were finally brought to a realization of the gravity of their con dition were prepared to submit to heroic treatment uncomplainingly. The others, who were still able to walk the deck, possessed no adequate conception of the gravity of the slow moving, insidious destruction of their tissues. None of them realized that the sec ondary consequences of acidosis, even of its milder forms, are even grave ,if that be possible, more than nervous prostration, neuritis, edema, nephritis, beri-beri, or whatsoever other word or phrase is employed to describe such forms of malnutrition. The alkaline salts necessary to pre vent acidosis in a diet of meat are found by carnivorous animals in tlie blood and bones of their victims. Lions, tigers, wolves devour the bones and consume the blood as well as the flesh of their .prey. Meat as dressed for human consumption, stripped of its bones and drained of its blood, does not furnish the base forming elements. In the ordinary meat diet man off sets to some extent the acidosis that follows such diet by his fondness for milk, egg yolk, celery, lettuce, car rots, parsnips, beets, cauliflower, onions, spinach, string beans, aspara gus, apples, oranges, berries, and other fruit In the diet of the Arctic explorers of recent years calcium food In the form of pemmican (30 per cent of which consists of dried raisins and dates, rich in the alkaline salts or base-forming elements) has con tributed to the offsetting factors neces sary to avert complete collapse. Acidosis, even of the mildest type, is the forerunner of tuberculosis. Acido sis is the most relentless calcium de stroyer now engaged in breaking down human tissues. Scandola lias demonstrated that nothing promotes the elimination of calcium more than the use of decalci fied foods such as white bread, pota toes and meat. The work of Drennan Indicates that the withdrawal of calcium may cause a fatty infiltration and later fatty de generation of the liver cells. It has been conclusively proved, as we have seen, that where the calcium supply of the blood is diminished, the blood will not coagulate on demand, and after a diet deficient in calcium post-mortems show hemorrhages in the long bones, thus revealing the ravages that progress unseen until too late to be averted. It was observed by Dr. Perrenon for some time prior to the outbreak of tlie so-called beri-berl on board the Kronprinz Wilhelm that when the sailors received slight scratches In the discharge of their duties they bled pro fusely, and for a long time. It was evident that the blood of the men had been deprived of the calcium so necessary to its coagulation upon demand. We have seen that where the mother is deprived of a sufficiency of calcium foods the foetus is handicapped by lime deficiency. Its bones do not grow properly, and later they decay quickly. Infant specialists frequently make the error of attributing scurvy and rickets among babies to the use of pasteur ized milk, forgetful of the ravages committed by the refined diet of the mother against the child before its birth. I The importance of calcium in the | processes of nutrition Is no longer sub- Iject to debate and the fact that the diet of the crew of the Kronprinz Wil helm had been commercially robbed of its calcium has now assumed the form of a classic that no longer requires demonstration, even though Americans persist in ignoring its meaning for themselves and for their children. For ten years it has been known to the medical profession that the auto- Intoxication or acid-Intoxication, known as acidosis can be experiment ally produced by feeding a diet free from the alkaline salts, thereby caus- Jig the sulphuric and phosphoric acids, elaborated by protein digestion, to combine with the salts of the tissues, thus destroying them. It is also known to the medical profession that nature, attempting to neutralize these acid conditions, sets up a process in which ammonia is withdrawn from the urea to such an extent that the amount of "acetone bodies," acetone, diacetic acid, and beta oxybutyric acid can be changed by it. These acetone bodies are found in many diseases, including diabetes, of which much will be said a little later. Ott and Orofton have shown that twenty times the normal amount of calcium salts is excreted in tubercu losis. The complete withdrawal of ~alclum destroys the defense of the tissues against the invasion of the t übercle bacilli. It must be remembered that in the withdrawal of calcium from refined food the salts of Iron. phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, and the other indispensable food minerals are also automatically withdrawn lor the rea son, as has already been pointed out, that no one of these salts can be re moved without also removing the others. Commensurate with nature's inabil ity to obtain a calcium defense the tubercle bacilli colonize without re striction. A normal calcium supply is indispensable to human life. Foods | W PPIfF !

The crew of the Kronprinz Wilhelm was deprived of its calcium for a pe riod of 255 days, which term can now be emphasized with precision as the maximum length of life on a diet of such derpinerallzed foods where there is no opportunity for an accidental or haphazard provision of sufficient off setting' foods to prolong the period. It is certain that If the victims of the Kronprinz Wilhelm's unhappy ex perience had been removed from the German cruiser to a hospital and sub jected to the conventional hospital treatment, including tea, white bread toast, butter, mashed potatoes, corn starch, pudding, farina, cream nof wheat, polished rice and chops, all of them would have been doomed to tu [beroulosis if tuberculosis had not al ready taken possession of them. Their only hope of complete res toration to health, which means com plete repair o? all the damage done and a return of nutritional immunity against disease, lay in a prolonged diet of foods containing an excess of tiase-forming elements and a deficiency of acid-forming elements, such as has been described here frequently. In its proper place a complete list of these foods will be provided.
