BEAT ALL DIET SQUADS
Aged Rutland Couple Down King
High Cost of Living.

| Mr.. and Mrs. c. II. Colvin of Rut-
land, each of whom is over 60 years
old, have established 4 record for re-
| ducing the high cost of living which
puts in the shade the tests of all the
diet squads in the country, and shows
that good old Vermont thrift takes
the cake" when it comes to real econ
| omy. During the past month it has
cost Mr.. and Mrs Colvin just SS627
for all expenses, including food. house
rent, fuel, light and other necessities.
On this amount this couple has lived
comfortably, eating all that they
wanted, keeping warm on the coolest
days and continuing in the best of
health.
The experiment started on the
morning of the 18th of January and
closed on the evening Of the 14th of
February thus including 81 days.
During this time Mr.. ana Mrs. Colyin
lived On food which cost them exactly
Sl227, or less than 4O cents a day.
ror each one OF them the cost per
meal was less than six and two thirds
cents. Yet they did not try to deny
themselves anything they needed
Mr.. Colvin weighed himself Just be-
lore and just after the experiment
and found that he had gained exactly
one pound During this time lac had
not worked every day, as he has no
regular occupation at this time but he
had worked six days helping TO un-
load carload of grain.
From the lump amount given above
Mr. and Mrs. Colyin kept two stoves
going, thus heating five rooms, a
hitohin, sitting room, bath and two
bed rooms, and Mr. Colvn states that
they kept comfortable even on the
coolest days OF the month that is just
passed
Mr.. and Mrs Colvin ate three meals
a day, while Mrs. Colyin did all the
cooking and nothing was wasted. APP

the various forms that it can be used,
was also a favorite dish, and one of
the least expensive. Neither of the
two drink tea or coffee. MIR. and Mrs.
Colyin were careful to weigh every
thing accurately before beginning the
experiment, to keep close track Of
everything which they used. and TO
weigh everything carefully again at
the end of the time stated.
Mr. Colvin will be 20 years old on
the 11th day of March The greater
part of his life has been spent in
farming in the town OF Dandy He
and his wife moved to Rutland last
fall, selling the farm TO their son.
Mr. Colvin does not feel that he and
Mrs. Colvin have lived any cheaper
than other people could do under or
dinary circumstances, and he says
that he feels that things could be
made to go even farther when one
had learned how to get the most out
of different food stuifs. He regards
the months experiment as one well
worth trying, however, and gives Mrs.
Colvin a great deal of the credit for
its success.
An itemized account of all the ex.'
pendtures Of the month follow:
