BODY TEMPERATURE. 257 



Kon reported that he suffered from cold. He usually wore light weight 

 underwear, but about the middle of November began to wear heavy union suits, 

 with long sleeves and legs of ankle length, about two-thirds woolen. He also 

 wore heavy woolen socks and a medium-weight overcoat. 



Mon suffered from cold, also. He usually wore heavy cotton underclothes 

 and stockings, but in 1917-18 found it necessary to wear wool during the 

 winter and much heavier woolen stockings. Part of the time he wore a jersey 

 sweater and a heavier overcoat than usual, with more blankets at night. 



Bro wore, ordinarily, a regulation gymnasium suit as underwear, i. e., a 

 jersey and running costume. During the cold weather of 1917-18 he wore a 

 two-piece fleece-lined suit, but not all wool. This was of medium weight, with 

 long sleeves and legs of ankle length. An extra sweater was worn in gym- 

 nasium work. Additional blankets were used at night, but he found it 

 difficult to keep warm. He did not open his window so wide as usual. 



The experiment ended for Squad B on January 28 and for Squad A 

 on February 3. On February 8 the men of both squads were inter- 

 viewed. They showed great uniformity of experience in regard to 

 feeling cold during the period of reduced diet. In general, the members 

 of Squad B did not change to heavier underclothing, and only one 

 or two mentioned heavier outer clothing. The comments of the 

 men, which are given here in detail, show that the contrast between 

 the diet condition and the subsequent period of uncontrolled eating 

 is definite, even though at the time of the interviews but a few days 

 had elapsed since the close of the experiment. 



SQUAD A. 



Bro had not changed the weight of clothing, but considered doing so 

 mmediately, as he did not feel the cold so much as during the experiment. 



Can said cold was not felt so keenly as during the experiment. No 

 change in clothing, except for removal of sweater a part of the time. Much 

 more comfortable than when on low diet; sometimes a little too warm; no 

 change in bedding. 



Kon had no doubt as to there being a great difference regarding his sensitive- 

 ness to cold; wearing the same clothing. 



Gar had put on light silk stockings, but still wore long underclothing. He 

 had not felt the cold so much since returning to full diet, but the weather had 

 not been so cold. 



Gul felt warmer than when on low diet. Had not begun to wear under- 

 clothes again except a 6-ounce jersey. Intended to put on underclothes the 

 next day. 



Mon did not feel cold on full diet. No change in clothing or bedding. 



Moy did not notice cold so much as when on low diet; no change in clothing 

 or bedding; sometimes felt too warm.

 a Hght weight cotton union suit. No change in bedding, but weather not so 

 cold ; windows open as usual. 



Tom did not mind the cold so much and found that he was warmer in bed 

 than when on the diet. Had taken off two pairs of blankets even during a 

 recent period of cold weather. 



Vea very sure that the cold was not felt so keenly as during the experi- 

 ment. No change in clothing or bedding.
