DIP:TARIES AND RATIONS. 27 



We begin with the dietary for moderate work, still assuming 

 that the body- weight of the persons to be fed is 105 Ibs., and 

 employing the same pulses and the same cereals as in the three 

 examples of rations previously constructed. Referring, as before, 

 to the tables, we find that 



Albuminoids. Starch. 



Soy-beans, 5 oz. furnish ... 1765 ... 3'47o 

 Rice, 16 oz. furnish i'i63 ... 12752 



2-928 ... l6'222 



Amounts required... ... 2-954 ... 15779 



As the oil contained in this ration is but i ounce and should be 1*4 

 ounces, it will be necessary to add the lacking 4-ioths. To do 

 this without disturbing the ratio, \y z ounces of rice should be with- 

 drawn, and >^ ounce of soy-beans added. Thus the amounts will be : 



Albuminoids. Starch. 



Soy-beans, 5^ oz. furnish ... 1*942 ... 3*817 



Rice, 14^ oz. furnish ... ... "954 ... 1 1*552 



Oil, T *Q- oz. equal ... ... nil ... '920 



2-896 . . 16*289 



If rice and lablab-beans be employed, the following amounts 

 will be necessary : 



Albuminoids. Starch. 



Lablab-beans, 8 oz. furnish ... 1792 ... 4*592 

 Rice, 16 oz. furnish n68 ... 12752 



2-960 ... 17-344 



As, however, this dietary should include 1*41 ounces of oil, it will 

 be necessary to supplement its natural deficiency in this constituent 

 by adding at least i ounce. We withdraw, therefore, 4 ounces of 

 rici, and add i ounce of lablab-beans. 



Albuminoids. Starch. 



Lablab-beans, 9 oz. furnish ... 2-016 ... 5-166 



Rice, 12 oz. furnish ... ... "876 ... 9-664 



Oil, i oz. equal to ... ... nil ... 2-300
