DEVICES OF THE FOOD TRUSTS.

DE HES vi ldE HOOD lhUOIS.
Householders who have acquired
the habit of buying their cereals and
other foods in packages have not
been wholly blind to the fact that
during the past few years the pack
ages, while selling for the same mon
ey as originally, have grown smaller
from time to time for no reason ap-
parently but that the manufacturers
have seen fit arbitrarily to diminish
their contents. And this practice has
obtained not only as to food, but as
to drugs also.
1t is, as the Macon News says, only
one of various schemes that have
been unscrupulously resorted to by
the food and drug trusts to compel
the public to contribute more money
to their Golfers by giving them less
than the former quantities. The food
packages, it is stated, in many cases
have shrunk at least one-third in
size in the last two years, while the
price remained the same, thus mate
rally contributing to the causes of
the high cost of living
Practices such as this by the man
ufacturers of many breakfast and
other foods are roundly condemned
by representatives of the wholesale
and retail grocers. The plea of the
manufacturers is that they have been
compelled to take this step owing to
the higher cost of cereals, but the
criticism leyeled against them is bas-
ed on the fact that they have not
taken their customers into their con-
fdence, but have sought apparently
to conceal that they are giving less
for the money than heretofore.
1t is suggested that purchasers OBJ
serve more care in buying these pack
ages both for their own benefit and
the benefit of the manufacturers who
put up the full quantity.

This Old World.

This old world is apt to banter,
AS the world has always done,
When fellow starts a glory song
And turns his footsteps home.
This old world is apt to banter,
But at heart it wishes, too,
1t could break the devils shackles
And come singing after you.
This old world is apt to banter,
But it watches yet to know
If you're really bound for glory,
Where it hopes one day to go.

Among the bits of old-time verse
that are eXtant but rarely find their
way into print these days is The
Prayer of the Fool" which is reprint
ed in today's News. This poem is L
gem, worthy to have rank as d clas-
sic. It's sentiment and the words will
be appreciated by virtually all who
read it.

They say that history repeats it
self. To look at the progress this
old world has made it must have
gone itself one better every time
AS is history so is every individual
life, We move in circles. Make each
round count for more than the one
preceding. If we must gyrate about
a given point of personality we can at
least bend our course upward. Watch
the hawk as he swings himself into
the heavens.

No man likes to act under pressure
of nagging complaint. 1t deadens
the desire to please, but give him a
hearty encouragement and he will
aspire to do even more than is asked
Of him. To complain gives one the
feeling that you expect your requests
to go unheeded, and it is human
tendency to want to fulfill expecta-
tions.

The paths of glory lead but to

the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean, Cal

that save him worldwide fame, and
speaking of his wonderful feat he
said: Il suppose l shall go on flying
until like so many others who tempt
the dangers Of the air l, too, shall be

margin must be allowed for people
Who subscribe and then die, or move
away, or Just back out. Probably ten
per cent should be allowed Tor that.
So let us calculate a bit.
President Frost has $1,000 gift
as a starter.
Berea itself is proposing to raise
$40 900. This has not been done, but
II is well started and it can be done:
Citizens $4,000, Students $4,000 and
Faculty $4,000 and the $1,000 from
Trustee Rogers. This $4,000 should
be completed at once, with ten
per cent margin for failure to pay.
Then it will be up to Madison Coun
ty to give its $4,000 and the build
ing can be started.
And Madison County should raise
such a subscription in six weeks, by
August 10. Then the plans will be
ready, the builders on the ground.
and work will begin. VIII Berea do
its part, and Madison County do its
part by that time?
Sec how easily Madison County can
do il. The County contains a good
many people who are worth humid
red thousand or more each. Suppose
ten of them should give $1,000 each
"A subscription of four figures.
Or suppose twenty should give $500
each.
or suppose twenty-five should give
$500 each-enough to build one room.
Or suppose fifty should give 500
each-enough to shelter one student.
Or suppose a hundred should give
500 each-a three figure subscrlp-
ton.
