Low Cost OfLiving

Experiments in keeping down the cost OF living are
becoming competitive like marathon race or some
other endurance contest though not all these eNpe-
ments are quite of endurance The Chicago diet
squad of p members proved its ability to thrive on
meals costing 40 cents day The warden OF the Ne"
Mexico penitentiary renders report that his charges
are costing not than SO cents day for ood there
bv ecIipsing the Chicago record.
Now comes Carlisle Indian school with an assertion
that its students have been feeding well at rate OF
Is pa cents day, little more than S. month
These Indians have heayh appetites. Any OF US who
have ever undertaken to feed Indian know ne IS
hollow 10 his heels That the Carlisle Indians have
not been going hungry atested by the Official state
ment that the daily provision for three meals day
during u months past has included for 527 students
besides an extremely liberal allowance OF bread $50
pounds of beef 10 pounds of butter 80 pounds OF milk
four bushels of potatoes, six pounds OF coffee pound
of tea go pounds of sugar, eight quarts OF srup ten
pounds of onions. II pounds of corn bread and SIX
pounds of tomatoes.
How Carlisle can achieve such low figures IS parity
explained by the fact that much of the food which
feeds the Indians is raised the school tarm II IS
charged up at the farmers market prices but that does
not include the mddlemans profit, and when that IS
deducted an immense slice is cut from the cost Of living
