Note that the October Menus are calculated for each day and that the method is different from that used in Part I. This method is the older and more commonly used method. It requires more figuring than the method used in Part I. The results by either method should be the same. For tables and further details of method used in Part I, devised by Dr. Fisher, see Bulletin of the School, "Food Values," price 10 cents. For tables of composition by weight, used in Part II, send 10 cents (coin) to U. S. Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C, for Bulletin No. 28, "Composition of American Food Materials."

In Part III will he found calculations of separate meals by the Fisher percentage by food value method.
