ras COST OF AN EDUCATION.


The secretary Of Harvard college has Is
sued IN instructive pamphlet regarding
the cost Of living 1t Harvard. The
pamphlet contains . collection Of letters
from undergraduates, graduates and pro-
fsssicnal school students describing in de-
tail their necessary expenses.
While the possibilities for spending
money ct college, - elsewhere, are great,
. review OF the pamphlet referred to shows
that student can live 1t Harvard and
provide himself with oil that be really re-
quires for from 500 to $500 year.
The following letter taken from among
the many published shows how the exc
psnse il divided:
This 10 my fourth year In the college. In the
6rst two years lived In Boston earning my
living BY teaching . private school Finding
my work too hard. however. gave up the
school, and In the third year came to live In
Cambridge, giving private lessons in German 70
students in the college, The income, however,
not being sufficient TO cover all my expenses
borrowed some money from friends. with the
understanding that should refund IL at my
earliest convsnisncs. This year am o1hciasipg
in = small congregation, and am living comfort
ably.
: Ny average expenses throughout all the time
were el2S for the college year:
Room rent fuel and light. s 90

Clothing, including washing. ............. 50 90

S425 90
The university aid funds ct Harvard
now yield for distribution among deserv.
ing students over $4,000 annually. The
outside opportunities for earning money
by tutoring and teaching are also good.
Its probable that the difference between
the cost of living At Harvard and the other
great Eastern universities like Yale,
Princeton. Cornell and others that could
be named il not great It il therefore sp-
parent that the best education that this
country affords IL within the reach Of any
ambitious boy who can command sufh-
Gent money with which TO make start

While it is over thirty years ago since
Allcock's Porous Plasters were first intro
duced to the medical profession and
public, the marked success and uuprece-
denied popularity which they met with
not only continues, but steady increases.
No other plasters have been produced
which gain SO many testimonials of high
value as those continuously accorded to
Allock's Porous Plasters, and the only
motive for these exceptional tributes lies
in the fact of their being medicinal and
pharmaceutical preparation of superior
value. Additional proof of the true value
of Allock's Porous Plasters lies in the
fact that they are being largely initiated
by INSCRIPTIONS persons, who seek to
deceive the public by offering plasters
which they claim to be the 'same,'
"equal," "as good" "bettsr," "best por-
GUS plasters," etc., while it is in general
appearance only that they resemble ALL
cocks. Every one of the so-called porous
plasters are limitations of Allcock's Por-
GUS Plasters.
Avoid dealers who attempt to palm off
inferior and worthless plasters that are
purchased by them at low rates for the
purpose of substitution.
