Professor Plumb has just invented a highly concentrated form. of food. All the essential nutritive elements are put together in the form. of pellets which, diluted with water, will form. all that is necessary to support life. The Professor looks forward confidently to revolutionising the present food system. Now this kind of thing may be all very well in its way, but it is going to have its drawbacks as well.
