WAsTEFUL METHODS IN ORDER
ING AT AN END.
NEW SCHEME WORKS WELL
american Plan" Modified to Special
Charge for Flesh and Fish-oldest
University AboIishes the Custom of
Tipping the Waiter-The Passing of
the Star Boarder.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 29.-The
comparatively small number of Har,
ward students who will remain at the
big dining room of memorial hall to eat
their Thanksgiving dinner-the great
majority spending their holidays away
from college-next Thursday will have
the experience unknown to the classes
of previous years of paying for their
turkey according to the amount they
eat. This is something new at Har'
vard-one of two innovations intro
duced this autumn for the first time at
the big dining hall wherein some 1900
students meet daily for bread and
meat. No longer may the young Har-
ward man stuff on flesh, fish and fowl
to hearts content for no purpose OF
ministering to his needs but because
he is paying board bills by the week;
and no longer may he tip the waiter
to get letter service than his comrades
enjoy.
Both these innovations involve inter
esting departures in the system OF
feeding students at Harvard. Until
this fall memorial hall, the principal
Harvard dining room, was conducted
on what is known in gastronomic cir
cles the American plan whereby one
pays a lump sum for a dinner and then
eats all one can. The hall is practical
ly one extensive dining club, or rather
a series of dining clubs under one roof,
since the 1900 students divide them
off IF
white-covered club tables. The total
expense of the eating has always been
met by an exact division of cost among
the members. This arrangement has
kept the board at memorial hall at
about $4.25 or $3.50, but it has involved
also a great waste in provisions, par
ticularly in the departments of meat,
fish and eggs, which average about
threefourths of the regular cost of sup
plying the Harvard appetite. Every
student has heretofore been under
more or less temptation TO order up al
most everything on the bill OF fare,
lust to see what ii looks like" a
temptation that is of course inherent
in the American system of boarding
wherever it fiourishes. To minimize
this waste these principal items have
now been placed on the menu at cost
price-roast ribs of beef with dish OF
gravy, for example, at IL cents, or
roast young chicken, stuffed, with gill
let sauce at 16--so that they must be
ordered and paid for by ticket.
The amount of flesh. fish and fowl
consumed is thus left TO the inclination
of each individual student boarder. All
other articles of food remain as under
the former system, and the cost of this
general board" together with the ex-
pense of running the hall, is still divid.
ed equally among the students. A
young man now has much larger lib
erty to follow his individual prefer

MoNeREL DOG A coMMUTER.

For the last 10 days the employees
at the Mount Vernon station have
been curious to learn the identity OF a
dog which seems to have become
regular commuter on the road. The
dog answers to the name of Jack and
is a mongrel.
Jack usually arrives at the statlon
painting from exertion to catch the
SAT train for New York city. He walls
until he sees a good chance to get on
the train and, after all the passengers
are on board he makes a dash up the
steps and into the coach. He slides
under a seat. At first the conductors
and brakemen chased him and kicked
him when they caught him stealing
rides. but he has since made friends
with them and they have come To re-
spect his rights, at least as much as
they do the rights of the other COM
muters.
The dog, when he reaches the
Grand Central station, bounds on the
train and disappears in the crowd. In
the evening he returns, and by watch
ing for the Mount Vernon commuters
manages to find the train for that city
One day Jack was put OF two
trains and then disappeared. In the
afternoon he was seen getting on
train from the city, showing that he
had come to New York despite the ef-
forts of the station employees TO pre-
vent him. When he cannot get a
train Jack goes about with his tail be
tween his legs, whining disconsolately.

Cod liver oil is in universal re-
pute as the best body builder in
wasting diseases, and the best
reconstruction in recovery from
severe sickness known to medicine.
Nevertheless, three-fourths of
the people are really made sick by
the taste and smell of cod liver oil.
Half of them can't take it. Their
stomachs either reject it, or are so
upset by it that the dose does
more harm than good.
Vinol 10 the only preparation of
cod liver oil which contains no
grease or bad taste yet does con-
tain all the virtue of cod liver
oil, and is deliciously palatable. 1t
also contains organic iron. Iron
gives quality to the blood. Almost
every ailing person needs it.
The combination of these two
elements with table wine is both
scientific and effective. 1t has
accomplished wonderful things
right here in town. We think
we are doing service to every
rundown, ailing, coughing, ner-
vous, debiltated person in calling

Tragedy Makes Personal AllusiOn,

The following appeared in the

which occurred at Gaffney during the
campaign last summer, is too gener.
ally known to be recounted:
"rhe Educational, published at
Columbia, gives editorial endorse
ment to an article IN our Christmas
number in which we ventured few
feeble remarks on the relative duties
Of the editor and the school teache,.
Subsequent events have served to
make us moro fully realize the i'm
portance of the truths expressed in
that editorial. Little did We dream
| when we wrote: "What our country

gardless of the consequences of

more for the truth than did N. @.

"When we penned those lines
above referred to we were thinking
Of how we had been abused aud mis-.

we had dared to speak word for
