For the computations of potential energy in the table the estimates 

 of flubner are nsetl, which assume 4.1 Calories for each grain of protein 

 and carbohydrates and 9.3 Calories per gram of fat. For the estimate 

 of nutritive ratios, one part by weight of fat is taken as equal to two 

 and one fourth of carbohj drates. 



The American dietaries in the table selected from the whole number 

 examined are intended to show the range of variation and the averages. 

 The quantities of nutrients are those in the food purchased, unless oth- 

 erwise indicated. I^o. 2 is the average of 7 dietaries of families and 

 large boarding houses in Lowell, Lawrence, Lynn, Holyoke, and Boston,
