DIET AND DESTINY.

Food in te Formation of Character.

THE BEST RATING REITON,

A new fact of the geo-cest importance from health point of view, has come to ight during the few days, say The Timer. We have been told on the high nuthority of vmbes of the International Congressi of Surgery that germs aro capable of being altered in character by the foodstuilu, muj- plied to them by the bacteriologlet. Feed them it one medium; say potato," and they will devolop the power of causing une kind of disease; change their diet, my to gelatine, and soun another propensity will manifest itself and a BOW discaso.be wrought.

This astonishing efect of diet has been demonstrated, curiusly enough, at a moment when the question of transforna- tiop of character. As the result of fraining. and enritenment is being keenly discussed. The story of Eliza Doolittle, Mr Bernard Shaw's Lower girl duchess, presents in a manner, a parallel to the new bacterio- logical evolution. We are invited to believe that with men and women (ər in it Daly

The really interesting question which ameryes, and which is worth consi deration, is whether character is deter- mined and if so to what ex ent--by diet.

Human capacity being limi
