FRUGAL STUDENTS.

The Chicago diet squad has been put to shame by the students Berea College Ky The former proved that and women could live work and thrive food costing bit less than 40 cents day apiece They did it stunt, and then back their normal meals President the Kentucky institution says that his 14O0 students, not experiment heroic feat but a regular thing getting along satisfactorily meals costing them cents apiece.
 This makes astonishingly small board bill, when considers the possibilities of in feed ing large numbers of people together stated hours amounts to $147 week per student. Where is there city boarding house that show good record? It's safe to say there few homes that equal it, except possibly among the very poorest of population.
 To be sure, the students revel in gastro homie luxuries. They don't porerhouse steak day and don't have half dozen to a dinner. They do without tea coffee and butter-and do it volun tary reduce expenses. But there's evidence that their deprivation hurts them. Tea and uxuries of dubious value to people, Tutter extremely valuable food but be dispensed with if there is lack of other fats From all accounts the Berea students plump and healthy energetic physically and mentally, as students of more luxurious colleges.
 An infusion of this student frugaty would probably do harm to the greater part of population. We don't imagine do.
