being 19.34 per cent, whDe the minimum found is 15.66 per cent and the maximum 

 22.45 per cent. The total phosphoric acid varies from 4.2 per cent to 9.8 per cent, 

 the average being 6.6 per cent. 



As would be expected, the samples containing the larger proportions of fat liberate 

 the larger quantities of heat unite, or calories, per pound, and it will be noted that the 

 price is not in all cases an acciurate measure of value, some of the higher priced varie- 

 ties being in reality much lower in actual cost, when their food value is taken into 

 consideration, than some of the cheaper varieties." 



The table below has been condensed from that shown in the report. 

 The brand, name of the jobber, and the data about these samples, 

 where the species is not shown on the label, have been eliminated, as 

 they were not essential to our purpose. All of the other data have 

 been reproduced exactly as they appeared in the original report. 

 Not a single one of the samples apparently bore the packer's label, 

 all being jobber's labels.
