“ beverages and condiments ” are consequently not comparable, but, 
omitting stimulants, the average cost would be about 0‘7 pence.

The above table shows again the points already referred to, — 
the excess of animal over vegetable proteid and the greater amount 
of money expended on animal food. The average return per 
penny expended on animal food is 9 grammes of proteid, 12 ’6 
grammes of fat, and 3*8 of carbohydrate, with an energy value of 
170 Calories: a penny spent on vegetable food gave 10’6 grammes 
of proteid, 2 3 grammes of fat, and 94’5 grammes of carbohydrate, 
with an energy value of 454 Calories.
