aud 2 ounces butter. Fi-oni the table of composition of food ma- 

 terials the nutritive iniii-edicnts whicli these foods furnish may be 

 easily calculated. Thus, if oatmeal contains 10.1 per cent, of pro- 

 tein and furnishes 1,8()() calories per pound, one-half pound would 

 contain 0.081 pound protein (0.5 x 0.161 = 0.081 pound) aud yield 930 

 calories (0.5 x 1.8G0 = 930), and if lamb chops contain 16 per cent, 

 protein and furnish 1,130 calories par pound, 1^ pounds of lamb 

 chops would furnish 0.24 pounds protein (1.5 pounds x 0.16 = 0.24 

 pound) and 1,095 calories (1.5 pounds x 1,130 = 1,095) calories. The 

 others may be calculated in the same way. 



The assumed quantities of food materials which the four persons 

 would consume in a day, and the calculated protein content and 

 fuel >'alue, would be as follows:
