1 Allowance has been made for water lost by absorbers, chair, bedding, and miscellaneous 

 articles as follows : Feb. 2-3, 14.85 grams ; Feb. 3-4, 12.49 grams ; Feb. 4-5, 23.38 grams. 



Elements and Materials Katabolized in Body. 



The usual methods were followed in obtaining the elements and materials 

 katabolized in the body. The data are given in tables 110 and 111. As in the 

 other food experiments reported in this publication the food and water 

 consumption are treated separately from the katabolism. The importance of 

 this conception of the relation of food to katabolism warrants its repetition.
