5. NUTRITION.
Last year when dealing with this subject I introduced to your notice the
discussion which was going on as to the amount of first-class proteins which is
necessary for maintaining health and strength and what was more important,

which only represent the same food value as ordinary foods which can be bought
for a relatively small amount of money.
