Officials charged with, the enforcement of food laws in the United States 

 and Canada, W. D. Bigelow ( U, S. Dept. Agr., Bureau of Chemistry Circ. 16, pp. 

 25). — The United States laws relating to food supply are enforced by the Department 

 of Agriculture and the Treasury Department. Lists are given of the officials who

Food of Europeans and native laborers in the Tropics, G. Reynaud ( Compt. 

 Rend. 13. Cong. Interned. Hyg. et Demogr., Brujcelles, 1903; abs. in Rev. Soc. Sci. Hyg. 

 Aliment., 1 (1904), No. 1, pp. 85-88). — The author studied rations of Annamites, Chi- 

 nese, Abyssinians, and others. According to his calculations the requirements for 

 maintenance in tropical and subtropical countries are, per kilogram body weight, 

 1.25 gm. protein, 0.75 gin. fat, 3.55 gm. carbohydrates, 0.50 gm. alcohol, and 30 

 calories of energy during the hot season. During the colder season the protein and 

 energy requirements are somewhat greater, the alcohol requirements the same, and 

 the carbohydrates somewhat less. 



He also gives values for the food requirements when work is performed. In tropi- 

 cal and subtropical countries the values for moderate work suggested per kilogram 

 body weight are 1.50 gm. protein, 0.75 gm. fat, 0.50 gm. alcohol, 4.30 gm. carbohy- 

 drates, and 36 calories of energy. For severe work the protein was given as 1.75 

 gm., the carbohydrates as 4.98 gm., and the energy as 40 calories, the other factors 

 being the same as before. Similar calculations are given for the colder season. It 

 is stated that the rations of the French troops in the Sudan furnished per man 159 

 gm. protein, 37 gm. fat, and 547 gm. carbohydrates.
