The results of the dietary study show that the food contained on an 

 average for the three periods 73 grams of digestible protein and 2,80i^ 

 calories of available energy, and cost about 37.7 cents per da}'. 

 Although the cost remained fairly constant, the value of the day's 

 ration fell off uniformly toward a minimum in period 3. The diet was 

 quite largely vegetarian in character, animal foods furnishing only 

 34.5 per cent of the total protein and 18.5 per cent of the total energy 

 noted above. Onl}" about 1() per cent of the average number of com- 

 bination meals was eaten. Meats furnished about the usual propor- 

 tion of total nutrients, but dair}' products furnished only al)Out 80 per 

 cent of their usual proportion.
