7 CENTS 4 MEAL
IS AVERAGE COST
AT BEREA COLLEGE

BEREA, KY, Dec. 27.-In order 10
prove that the cost of living has not
reached every part of the country,
Berea College, in the Kentucky mount
aims, is responsible for the statement
that its fourteen hundred students
are fed at cost of seven cents per
meal, that they gained several tons
in weight and that the boarding hall
made net gain of $559.49.
In explaining this record President
Frost of the College refers first to the
economy of numbers, some fourteen
hundred students being in constant at
tendance in the five departments. An
other explanation of the seven cent
meal is the fact that most of the stu
dents are accustomed to plain fare. SO
that they almost unanimously choose
to go without tea, coffee and butter
to reduce expenses. To offset these
omissions the balance ration" has
been introduced on the assumption
that it is just as important for stu
dents as "for any other live stock"

each year Since announcement has
been made here that there will be a
market for the old cans in Chicago at
Sc ton, the city officials are thinking
of adding to the city's revenue by sell
ing instead of dumping them with

city officials say they believe the cost
Of collecting the cans, and incidently
other trash might be betrayed from the
