Cheaper Than Staying at Home

So shouted a mountain boy as he read the Berea COL
lege Caalog
The entire expense for a year at the schoo-board,
room and esis only ssi 80 in Foundation and Vocation
al Schools SS7 GO in Normal and Academy, and 5000 in
the College
The great expense in education is board and the price
board at Berea has not been raised for twenty-five
years And the board is good Every increase OF price
in food-stuf has been met by better cellars and store
rooms rergerator cookers other devices for furnish
ing good living at small cost.
A Temporary Raise is forced by war conditions. To
the regular price board advertised in the caaog will
be added year. for young ladies' ten cents week and
for young men, twenty cents
This adds $3.50 to the years for girls, and
$50 for boys but still leaves the cost half that at other
schools and cheaper than staying at home.

NEW HONOR FOR THE BUREAU or
VITAL STATISTICS AND FOR
KENTUCKY

As has been known TO the profess
sion and registrars, Special Agents
of the u. $. Census Department have
spent the last three months in the
Offices of the state Board Of Health
investigating the birth returns OF
the Bureau of vital Statistics IN or
der to ascertain whether or not kcn-
lucky was entitled to admission
into the recently established federal
registration area for births, as was
done for deaths the year after the

The investigation was most COM
prehcnsiye and far-rcaching one.
Inquiries we're sent TO all clergymen,
postmasters, rural carriers and

every birth coming TO their knowl-
edge within selected periods and
each name thus obtained was check
ed against the original birth certif-
icates of physicians and mid-wives
on the permanent files Of our Bureau
Of Vital Statistics.
As the result of this careful and
painstaking investigation, the State
Board of Health has been formally
notified that Kentucky is admitted
into the registration area. This
honor will be the more appreciated
by our profession and people when
il is known that. including Virginia

No sooner had she done 30 than q

from the room aud. rushing down the
passage. discovered her own door and
bolted herself In.
II was but minute and the storm
broke. The hotel was In an uproar.
The mustard poultice had been placed
on the chest Of the corpulent elderly

GreenYille Man Great Returns.

"The only medicine that ever help
ed my husband is Tanlac, and when
he began taking it he had been In
bad health for about twenty-five years
and had been doctoring himself all
the time" said Mrs NJ. S. Scott, or
204 Church ST., Sampson, Greenville,
in statement she gave March 22nd.
"My husband suffered from kidney,
liver and stomach trouble, and ne
had spells of stomach trouble 30
painful that he would almost go wild,
and he had headaches so bad he could
hardly stand them. His kidney trou-
BILE was very bad and his whole sys-
tenn vas out of order and weakened.
"These spells of stomach trouble
started like an attack of collie and
the pain spread over his back and
hips. He had spells of kidney collie,
too. the doctors told him.
'tMr. Scott took six bottles Of Tan
lac, taking the last about eight
months ago. He doesn't have these
spells now, and he has had only one
since he started taking Tanlac and
that was the lightest he ever had
since they became ses ere. He doesn't
suffer with Indigestion now, either,
and the Tanlac gave him a great ap-
petite. He was relieved of those ter
rible headaches which used to almost
drive him crazy. He will tell any
body that Tanlac did him as mucn
good as all the other medicines he
took put together"
