 regions. Would the proportion of the nutrients needed by him 

 be the same as you need ? Explain. 



Conclusion. — 1. Would the same proportion of nutrients be 

 needed in all localities? 



2. Are there any other factors that might cause different pro- 

 portions of the nutrients needed by individuals? 



Problem 170: To obtain my daily dietary with the 100

Materials. — Dr. Irving Fisher of Yale University has worked

 The use of these tables is explained in the laboratory exercise which 

 follows.
