c Orders for one-half the usual amount. 



In the dietarv of this .subject the unusually small amounts of protein 

 and energy in the total food eaten per diem, the high comparative 

 cost of the diet, and the small number of combination meals are 

 noticeable. Thus for the three periods the digestible protein averages 

 61.5 grams and the available energy 2,566 calories, or 67 and 95 per 

 cent, respectivel}', of amounts called for by the commonly accepted 

 .standard for a man of sedentary occupation. Though low in nutritive 

 value, this ration cost 42.7 cents per day. 



The protein from animal foods amounted to about 54.5 per cent and 

 the energy to about 38 per cent of the tot^il.
