The cheapest MKeen.

BY actual experience the RuskinItes, a
colony, Of socialists near Waycross. Ca.
have demonstrated what is probably the
lowest possible daily cost for food. They
live at an actual cost per capita Of less
than 10 cents day. OF course this could
not have been accomplished except
through corporation. Everything they
consume is bought at wholesale In large
quantities and Is cooked in the commu-
nifty kitchen. In the community dining
room tables are set for 300 people. Those
who do not wish to eat with the crowd
are allowed to purchase company stores
and cook them ut home.
