VITALITY AND EFFICIENCY WITH RESTRICTED DIET. 



Total Heat Output with Low Diet, Squad A. 



For a consideration of the total heat production of the squad at the 

 beginning of the experiment, we have collected the data for all of the 

 men in Squad A, except Spe, prior to diet restriction, and likewise the
