We see that the food given daily contains on an average about 75 

 grams protein, this protein content varying from about 50 to 96 grams. 

 The caloric value of the food is about 2,650 calories and varies between 

 2,315 and 2^934 calories. In Table III is given the composition of the 

 food considered from a physiological standpoint. 



Table III. 

 Each prisoner receives daily: 



270 grams rice 

 45 grams sugar 



300 grams bread 

 about 250 grams camotes or potatoes 

 50 to 100 grams onions 



Representing about

 and 2,100 calories. 



In addition the following articles are given to each prisoner on the 

 different days : 



Sunday: 70 grams bacon, 



Monday: 90 grams pork, 



Saturday: 45 grams bacon and 90 grams beef, 



Tuesday ( 75 grams salmon, or 



or Friday: 1115 grams fresh fish, 



Thursday: 100 grams corned beef and 45 grams mongo, 



Tuesday: 115 grams beef and 90 grams dry fish, 



Friday: 150 grams salmon and 90 grams mongo, 



Wednesday: 115 grams beef and 150 grams mongo, 



/ 3 grams tea, 

 Daily: ' ^ giams eolTee, 



I 6 grams ginger root. 



We see that for every day of the Aveek, a vegetable diet, consisting of 

 rice, sugar, bread, potatoes, and onions constitutes by far the greater 

 portion of the nutriment furnished. This food alone, which is about 

 the same for the different days, furnishes more than four-fifths of the 

 calories of the entire food ingested and a great deal of the protein. In
