MILK AND WINE.
RELATIVE FOOD VALUES. Received November 25, 8.5. a.m. LONDON, Nov. 24. Dr. Louis Leipoldt, secretary of the South African Medical Council, and a well-known dietitian, is advertising for identical twins on which to experiment to determine the relative food values of milk and wine, says the Times’ Capetown correspondent. Dr Leipoldt, at the opening of the Renent wine show, caused a stir by declaring that it was better to drink wine than dirty milk. Throughout the world, ho said, propaganda, for milk was founded on a mistaken .idea of food values. “Milk is a food for people without teeth,” he said. “A few raisins and a slice of bread is a better meal.” Protests against these statements have led to the plan to experiment on twins, who will be given board and lodgings, hut no payment. The winegrowers are co-operating in the experimei/fc, which is controlled by a medical committee.
