Berea. Ky. Dec. 29.-In order to
prove that the cost of living has not
reached every part OF the country,
Berea College. in the Kentucky noun
tains. is responsible for the statement
that Its fourteen hundred students are
fed at cost of cents per meal. that

they almost unanimously chose to go
without tea. coffee and butter to re-
duce expenses. To offset these omis.
sions the balanced ration" has been
introduced on the assumption that Il
