It appears that instead of causing an increased consumption 

 of nutrients, the freer use of milk was attended by a decrease of 

 the nutrients eaten in the spring term amounting to 45 grams 

 daily and in the fall term to 151 grams daily. In the spring 

 term it might reasonably be urged that the coming of warm 

 weather would have the effect noted, all other conditions 

 remaining the same, but this cause certainly could not have been 

 operative in the fall term, when milk was freely supplied, for 

 cold weather came on, and this ordinarily causes a keener appe- 

 tite. It is interesting to note that in the spring term the addi-
