about midnight, after his exhibition of feats of strength is over. 
He smokes a good deal, and drinks beer and other alcoholic 
beverages. 
In the present experiment it was necessary to limit the period 
of observation to one day. The plan followed was to weigh 
each article of food as it was served to Mr. Sandow, and then 
weigh what was not consumed. ‘Three meals were eaten; 
dinner and breakfast at the hotel where he was stopping, and 
supper at a restaurant. He rejected all the visible fat of the 
meat. No other marked peculiarity was observed. 
In compiling the data obtained, the composition of the food 
was calculated from standard tables (Atwater’s* and Konig’st). 
It was assumed that 1 gram of alcohol was equal to 1. 71 grams 
of carbohydrates. ‘The figures used are those given in table 46. 
The amount of food consumed at each meal, its composition, 
and the estimated fuel value are shown in table 47,
