STUDIES OF DIETARIES. P59 
SUMMARY OF THE RESULTS OF DIETARY STUDIES REPORTED BY 
THE. SLTA LION, 
Table 32 above gives a summary of the results of forty-seven 
dietary studies reported in the present and previous Annual 
Reports of this Station. ‘These are for convenience arranged 
in six groups: those of farmers’ families, those of mechanics’ 
families, those of the families of professional men, those of 
College students’ clubs, those which though normal do not 
naturally come into either of the above classes, and finally 
those which are more or less unusual or abnormal, and cannot 
be averaged with other studies. For the sake of comparison 
the average of each group but the last is given. 
The results are in all cases calculated to the same basis, ‘‘ per 
man per day.’’ Accordingly the figures for the College ladies’ 
club (No. 18) and for the two women in the Adirondacks (No. 
224) represent larger quantities than were actually consumed. 
If they are multiplied by 0.8, the results will be the values ** per 
woman per day,’’ and will represent the amounts actually con- 
sumed in these two studies. 
In each dietary the nutrients and fuel value, “‘per man per 
day,’’ of the food purchased and eaten, are shown. 
The averages for the food consumption in the various groups 
of dietary studies, as shown in the preceding summary, are 
briefly compared in the following table:
