will show the protein to cost 107,7 cents and the fats 64,6 cents 
per pound.—Proof: 14},,, pound of protein at 107,7 cents—=15,3 
cents. +s pounds of fats at 64,6: cents=9,7 cents. 15,3 centsx 
9,7 cents=25 cents; the cost of the pound of meat which con- 
tained the given amounts of protein and fats. The above ratios, 
protein: fats: carbo-hydrates=5: 3:1 represent at best only gen- 
eral averages, and may in given cases be more or less incorrect. 
A method free from these objections consists in simply comput- 
COMPARATIVE COSTS OF PROTEIN IN FISH AND OTHER ANIMAL 
AND VEGETABLE FOODS.
