and vigorously. In Uruguay and A r­
gentina I noticed an amazing num ­
ber o f older persons whose pep and
stam ina were nothing short o f m i­
raculous, com pared to that o f the
average American o f the same age.
O n the other hand, in the m ore
tropical parts o f Brazil, I was singu­
larly impressed by the lack o f elderly
persons to be seen on the streets.
" A m atter o f d ie t,” was my ex­
p la n a tio n , rem em bering the high-
starch diets o f tro p ic a l B ra zil as
compared to the meals I had noted
being set before the Uruguayans in
the c ity 's splendid re sta u ran ts.
Plates containing liberal portions o f
■ eat, roasted or broiled; bowls gen-

fresh fruits.
Abllltlaa baila years
In A rgentina, on an estancia not
far fro m Buenos A ire s , I had a
.io se -u p view o f those oldsters
whose appearances and abilities be-
ted their calendar years.
M y host was a wealthy Argentin­
ian, educated in England, whose es­
tancia was devoted to raising blood­
ed horses fo r racing and fo r polo.
His pastures extended for thousands
o f acres, and across them roam ed
large numbers o f the finest horse­
flesh I'v e ever seen— and some o f
the youngest "o ld men.”
" Y o u 'r e to be com m ended fo r
keepin on those older fellow s," I re­
marked to my host. " In my country
they would long since have been re­
placed or pensioned o f f .”
" N o t at a ll.” came his quick re­
ply. " I 'm very lucky to have them.
They are the backbone o f my estan­
cia. M o st o f them w ere w ith my
g ra n d fa th e r. M y w o rry is w hat I
shall do w ith o u t th em . But that
p ro bably w o n ’ t be fo r an o ther 10
years or so.”
Before leaving the estancia near
Buenos A ire s , I to o k a meal w ith
Justina and the other gauchos down
at th e ir q u a rters. A w hole sheep
(sometimes it was a side o f beef) was
roasted in the skin over an open fire.
When the meat was done to a turn,
nicely browned on the outside, but
tender and juicy on the inside, large
chunks were hacked o f f by each
nan w ith the long-blaJed kn ife he
wears at the back o f his broad belt.
These large chunks o f meat, fo l­
lowed by second and third helpings
until nothing was left by the carcass,
.onstituted the entire meal— no po-
atoes, no bread, no pie. N oth in g
ju t m eat, fo llo w ed by a gourd o f
he brew made from the green herb
:alled mate. Yet this was not an ex-
,-eptional meal w ith th em — it was
he diet they fo llw e d three times
laily, year in, year out.
For bettor nutrition
M e a t, o f course, is another way
3( saying protein. For meat provides
[he highest type, most complete pro­
tein.
“ A ll very interesting ," you may
comment, “ but is it good nutrition,
this m e a t-a n d -m a te diet o f your
gaucho?"
To which I hasten to reply with a
big, loud " Y e s ! " Far better n u tri­
tion than is to be found on the ex­
pensively itemized menus o f the Tin­
es! epicurean restaurants in our cos­
mopolitan centers, with their dozens
o f tem pting dishes fro m which to
choose— most o f them too starchy,
sweet and overcooked.
Rem em ber, it is the n u tritio n a l
pauper who early loses his vitality
and glow o f youth. Any person who
surfeits his body with carbohydrates
and starves it o f proteins is a nutri­
tional pauper.
Y o u 'll meet p ro tein in several
guises later on. But regardless o f the
fo rm in w hich it appears on your
plate, protein w ill be right in there
pitching fo r you, striking out old
age and pepping up slack muscles.
B efore you can hope to Eat and
G ro w Yo un g er, you must make a
m e altim e c o m a p n io n o f p ro te in ,
