RUTLAND, Feb. 17-Mr. and Mrs.
G. II. Colvin Of this city, both Of whom
are over 90, have established a record
for reducing the high cost Of living
which puts in the shade the tests of all
the diet squads in the country, and

cake when it comes to real economy.
During the past month it has cost Mr..
and Mrs. CoIvin just $36.27 for ali ex-
penses, including food, house rent, fuel
light and other necessities. On this
amount this couple has lived comfort
ably, eating all that they wanted, keep
ing warm on the coolest days and con
tinuing III the best Of health
The experiment started Jan. Is, and
closed On the evening Of Feb. Il, thus
including 81 days. During this time
Mr. and Mrs. Colvin lived on food
which cost them exactly $l2.27 or les:
than 40 cents a day. For each Of them
the cost per meal was less than 81,
and two-thirds cents. Yet thcy did not
try 10 deny themselves anything thai
they needed. Mr.. Colvin weighed him
self Just before and Just after the ex
pertinent and found that he had gaineC
exactly one pound During this tim'
he had not worked every day, as h,
has no regular occupation at this time
but he had worked six days helping t,
