Dietaries 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 lbs., 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 — 



2-928 ... 16-222 



Amounts required... ... 2-954 ... I5-779' 



As the oil contained in this ration is but i ounce and should be r4 

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

 this without disturbing the ratio, i^ ounces of rice should be with- 

 drawn, and Y2 ounce of soy-beans added. Thus the amounts will be : 



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

 will be necessary : 



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 

 rice, and add 1 ounce of lablab-beans. 



2-892 ... 17-130
