"Carbohydrates are thus the best foods, but they are inconvenient because of the great volume of the alimentary manas and the abuse dance of the waste products. This inconveni- ence may be lessened by the use of sugar which is a carbohydrate that is practically pure, because it is crystallized. M. Roynand believes that it als has some objectionable features, but this is far from being demonstrated..
"The working ration can not be treated apart from the mere living ration, as it can in other regions. In hat countries, in fact, there is no reserve, and work brings about at once, with perspiration, enormous losses of heat.
"The natives who get along very well with rations that are poor in albumin when they are idle, fall at once into a state of lassitude when they work, and easily contract divers discasez There is a very great disproportion in hot countries between the working ration and the living ration. Without increasing the fat, which is utilized with difficulty by the organism and is hard to digest in these regions, it is necessary to increase the carbohydrates con- siderably, and especially the albumin. The minimum of indispensable albumia is much greater when, in spite of the work, it is desired to preserve the weight..
