DIETARY STUDIES OF A WALKING TRIP. "155 
DIETARY- STUDY NO. 460. 
The subject of this study was H. L. K., 24 years of age, em- 
ployed at editorial work. He took a small amount of muscu- 
lar exercise mostly in walking and tennis, the total comprising 
a probable maximum equivalent of a five mile walk daily. His 
general health had been good to within a month of the experi- 
ment when a slight nervous trouble had resulted in less exer- 
cise than usual. A week of his vacation had elapsed before 
the trip was undertaken, and at that time he felt nearly as well 
as usual, though his weight, with clothing normally 135 
pounds, had fallen to 124.5 pounds on the day preceding the 
trip. On the fifth day, a further drop to 119.75 pounds was 
noted. The final day showed no further change, a a 
net loss of 4.75 pounds during the trip.
