Proteins, ether extract or fat and starch are the three
important elements which supply nutrition to the human body.
Of these the first is of greatest importance.

The average ration of an average Kaliparaj adult mentioned
above will thus consist of the following quantities of grain:

Church says that the average Indian who does hard work (e. g.
field-work) must be supplied every day with $*635 oz. of proteins,
2-506 oz. of fat and 16-95 oz. of starch.
Thus it is obvious that the average daily ration of the average
Kaliparaj adult of Atgam is deficient in proteins, the most
important human food for replenishing the worn-out tissues,
In other words, he is a victim of chronic malnutrition.
