Appendix it will be observed that this was not confined to any one 

 kind of food, l)iit that a large proportion of difierent foods was rejected. 

 It seems quite prol>a))le from these data that the amounts provided 

 were too large for the appetites, if not the needs, of the patients. Had 

 they eaten all the food served to them the amounts of nutrients per 

 man per day would have been 102 grams of protein, 106 grams of fat, 

 and 507 grams of carbohydrates, with 3,379 calories of energy, which, 

 as regards energ\^, would be suflicient for the average man at ordinary 

 muscular work, and perhaps nearly sufficient as regards protein also. 



DIETARY STUDY NO. 369— ATTENDANTS, HOUSE GIRLS, ETC. 



This and the following study, No. 370, were carried on simultane- 

 ously, with attendants, house girls, waiters, etc., one group having 

 their meals in the dining room of the Toner building and the other 

 in that of the Oaks building. All three meals, breakfast, dinner, and 

 supper, were served twice each day in both dining rooms, so that for 

 each article served four weighings were necessary. The studies began 

 on Monday, November 24, 1902, and ended December 1. They covered 

 7 days, with 21 meals, as usual, since no account was taken of the food 

 on November 27 (Thanksgiving day), when the regular menu was not 

 served. 



Study No. 369 comprised 14 persons, 10 males and 4 females. The 

 total number of meals taken was equivalent to 280 meals per man, or 

 equivalent to 1 man 93 daj^s. In order to compute the equivalent num- 

 ber of meals per man from the total number eaten, it was assumed that 

 the average food consumption per woman was 0.8 as much as that per 

 man; thus 21 meals per woman would be 16.8 meals per man. 



The menu served during these two studies is given herewith. This 



was supposed to be the same as that for attendants throughout the 



institution.
