whole vegetable food purchased. In other words, the amount 
of vegetable protein and vegetable fat in the waste will bear 
nearly the same ratio to the total amount of vegetable protein 
and fat in the food purchased that the carbohydrates of the 
waste does to the total carbohydrates of the vegetable food. 
Taking the percentages of the weights of the carbohydrates in 
the total waste as the measure of the protein and fats in the 
vegetable wastes, the actual weights of protein and fat in the 
latter are readily calculated. Subtracting these weights of 
vegetable protein and fat from the total weight of these ingre- 
dients in the waste, the remainders give the amounts of animal 
protein and fats in the whole waste. } 
Table 63 summarizes the results of the thirty-two dietary 
studies which have been made by the Station.
