SEVEN CENTS PLENTY FOR
SUBSTANTIAL MEAL AT THE
PRESENT COST OF EATABLES

BEREA, KY, Dec. 19.-In order to
prove that the cost of living has not
reached every part of the country, Be-
rea College. in Kentucky mountains, 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 $559.40
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

fotilla, division or even a whole

Mrs. F. L. Mathews of Gadsdcn,
Ala, has invented a mail receiving
apparatus adapted to the railway mail
service. 1t is so constructed that when
a pouch OF mail is thrown from a mail
car while under way the pouch falls
into an iron box, which is locked auto
matically. An invention along this
line is now being tried out In Illinois,
but is designed to take care Of large
quantity of mail. A second track is
constructed along the railroad for a
few yards and when the mail car
passes 1t picks up and carries along
for short distance small car onto
which mail is automatically thrown
by machinery, while at the same time
mail outgoing is gathered up from
the car.

Food is taken into the body to fur

production, and also causes digestive
disorders, liver and kidney troubles.
Complaints of this kind frequently
come to the department of poultry
husbandry and a suggested change in
the ration has usually resulted in the
elimination of the trouble. Efficient
digestion demands = combination of
whole and ground grains. A ration
should consist Of grains and ground
feeds. Generally speaking, twice as
much grain should be consumed as
ground feed. This depends, of course,
upon the nature of the foods fed.
Whole and cracked grains are desig-
mated by poultry feeders as scratch
foods. Combinations Of ground feeds
either wet or dry are called mashes.

Wheat is probably the most popular
poultry food. 1t is safe food, greatly
relished by the fowls; 1t runs high In
Its protein content; and 1t has a large

be fed to advantage and can often be

Grain burned by fire makes satisfac-

wheat has spoiled by molding. and
has been charred so as to hide this

Bran is 90 by-product of wheat. 1t
should always form an important part
In any poultry ration. Bran is high
In ash content, and also renders the

There are times when mother or

that they know children should not

but more often 1t is tea or coffee.

hot food drink that you can take your
self and feed to your children, con-
scious that it will help and strength
en-. but never hurt them.

kidney trouble when drinking coffee,
