Sirs: TIME exaggerates the digestive ability of hogs. On April 6 you state that "pigs eat coal with relish, digest it with ease." This idea was rooted in a statement in my Next Hundred Years- ''Hogs eat coal and enjoy it" (TIME, June 1). Hogs undoubtedly eat coal. Many a mid-western porker sees the black lumps of bituminous coal constantly before him supplied by his indulgent master. If munching effectively and with gusto is a mark of enjoyment, then the pigs actually enjoy this unusual foodstuff, apparently considerably more than the average American enjoys his daily slabs...
Sirs: Esteemed William Esty Mydans, Ph.D., in TIME, June 1, cynically asks your authority for the statement that "pigs eat coal with relish, digest it with ease." I am able to supply the information on the highest authority, namely, Fred Fletcher, tenant on my farm here.

I was puzzled to see no fresh ashes on the dump or any evidence of ashes except that the coal (anthracite...

...vaporings of cinema fan magazines, Hollywood chatter columnists and professional pressagents, Shirley Temple is actually a peewee paragon who not only obeys her mother, likes her work, rarely cries, is never sick and keeps her dresses clean but even likes raw carrots, eats spinach with enthusiasm and expresses active relish for the taste of castor...
Pigs eat coal with relish, digest it with ease. As laboratory animals they are therefore incapable of shedding much light on human nutrition. Rats, on the other hand, have the same eating habits as man. They need the same minerals and vitamins, fall prey to many of the same diseases. On them new serums, drugs and poisons are tried out. More experimental work has been done with the white, pink-eyed rat (Mus Norvegicus albinus) than with the meek guinea pig - more, in fact, than with all other mammals combined. If men are ever able to thrive on synthetic food...
