The milk has a caloric value of 23 per ounce ; therefore, the value of the milk is 20 times 23, or 460 calories. The i ounce of sugar, by measure, has a value of 80 calories. How shall we determine the value of the gruel? We find on inquiry, the pint of gruel contained y 2 ounce, by measure, of barley flour, and that the pint was allowed to boil down to 10 ounces. The gruel then contains all the barley, and has a caloric value of 27^, i. E. , l /2 of 55. The total caloric value of the mixture i...s therefore : 20 ounces whole milk 460 calories. l / 2 ounce flour (by measure) 27 calories. i ounce sugar (by measure) 80 calories. Total 567 calories. If the weight of the baby is 16 pounds, and its needs accord- ing to rule are 50 calories per pound, its total needs are 800 calories. It is getting 567 calories, therefore, according to Huebner, it is under-fed by the difference between 800 and 567, or by 233 calories. ARTIFICIAL FEEDING 129 If in addition to the above formula the mixture contains i ounce of ordinary cream, skimmed from the top of the bottle, the value of the food would be increased by 56 calories.
