was organized st the suggestion OF Harry

months. Tue s,udentsin Mr.. McGuire's
club have certainly reduced eating and
cooking to science. A room over the
gymnasium is rented by them for 81 a
week. The gas for cooking costs from
% to 80 cents week, and this leaves
only 81 a week from each student for
food. In other words, twenty-one meals
are furnished for $l-less than Eve cents
a meal. The heaviest expense each week
is for butter and lard, with meat close

are purchased weekly, ard most of 1t is
used 10 stews, as they are found to be
