THREE MEALS COST ONLY FORTY CENTS
Department of Home Economics Finds a Way to Cut the H.C.of L.
BREAKFAST FOR 8 CENTS
Costs Are Low, But Sufficient Number of Calories Is Maintained
That it is possible to serve three meals a day for forty cents was demestrated by the women of the department of home economies when they prepared and served the following menu, planned and arranged by a student in the class in Food and Nutrition;
Breakfast: 3 cornelia muffins, 1 tablespoonful oleo margarine, % glass of whole milk, 4 large prunes, 2 cups of milk, 1 cup of whole milk, 1 tablespoonful sugar.
Lunch: Cheese souffle, baked white potato, % cup apple sauce, 3 small sponge cakes, 2 slices bread, 1 to spoonful oelargentine, % cup of
Dinner: 2 slices bread, 1 table-
spoonful oleo margarine, 1 glazed
sweet potato, 3 cakes Hamburg steak,
2 tablespoonpuffs cranberry sauce,
1 dish Norwegian pudding.
A—40 to 55 cents enough
The breakfast cost 8 cents and furnished 775 calories. Lunch was served for 18.5 cents and contained 1,110 calories. Dinner was less expensive than lunch, and cost 12.7 cents with a calorific value of 1041
According to members of the department, 40 to 55 cents a day will supply a man with sufficient calories, because the most expensive foods are not always the most nutritious.
The women also state that foods that are known to be digested with difficulty should not be massed in the same meal, or even in the same day. Even though the family may do in the menu certain dishes and potatoes, these artisans should not all be served three meals in succession.
meats
the number of calorie and the cost of the different articles on the menu are not the only things considered by the women in the department
They devote some of the articles to these women, and the breakfast men given above is considered all the more delelectable because of the color added by the yellow corn muffins. In dinner, the artiplastic appearance on the cone of the red cranberry is the brown of meat and the yellow-brown of the potato.
yellow.” I think I have learned,” said one of the students in the department, “is to turn my attention to the variety which comes from different colors, forms and flavors. I find that impressions carry over from one meal to another so that with the exception of certain staples, the same food should not be served twice in the same day.”

A S. S. S. for humorous material to be used in the 1922 Jawhawk was issued this morning by Paul W. White of the annual's humor staff. "While we have no thought of competition with the Sour Owl," said White, "the Jayhawk also wants contributions from the public at large. But they are lengthy, bearable, but be used, there will be room for miscellaneous contributions than ever before. Those with local color are preferred."
Dot Engel and Cap Garnvin of the humour staff are working up the calendar, for which a series of cartoons is being made by Woodward Hackney, formerly of the Kansas City Star art department. Bob Mason, art editor of the Kansas City Star art department. Bob Mason, art editor of the annual, and several half artists are also listed in drawings for the magazine. More cartoon ideas, according to White, can still be used. All material should be turned in at the Jayhawker office or to one of the humor staff at the Kaukaus.
Dead Rat Kills Cats;
Theta Frosh Worry
This is a story of creation, life and death.
A fraternity man is the guardian of a cat, entirely black, which last fall was the mother of six black kittens. This mother cat foraged for her kittens, bringing them everything in the way of rats, mice and tit-bits.
An argument developed on the second floor of the Theta house one night this week. Five girls could not be initiated into Theta with only one cat. Four of them would have to look elsewhere for the prerequisite of initiation, which was set for the morrow.
Kappa Alpha Theta freshmen before initiation are required to secure black kats. Five of them asked the guardian of the kittens for one to be saved until the second semester. He promised. Five Theta freshmen depended upon this man for five black kittens.
One day, however, the mother cat brought a poisoned rat for her kittens and they were poisoned and died, leaving the mother cat alone. The Theta freshmen heard of this but after the manner of freshmen, each girl thought that the man would favor her with the mother cat.
One clever freshman pulls a coup'detat by sailing to the phone while her sisters were arguing. Calling the mother can be given to her at once. The mother can be given to her at once.
"I'm sorry," husks he, "but I can't let you have the cat. She's ill . . ." It is rumored that if the Thetas will postphone initiation for a week, there is possibility that the demand can be filled.
Who knows? Ask him.

"I know what those people are going through," said Miss Cheu. "My mother has a farm of two hundred acres. It is worked by tenants who live on the land. A few seasons ago the crops failed completely. Fortunately, my father was financially able to tide over this failure. We were near enough to sources of supplies to get food without much delay. He had to feed all the tenants as well as his own family."
Miss Keys also announces that there are a number of Federal Vocational work enrolling in correspondence work in the University atk's time. The most popular subjects with these students seem to be pharmacy, newspaper work, and bookkeeping.
STARVING CHINESE EAT DIRT "The people of my native province of Chihli are eating earth in their desperate attempts to satisfy hunger," says Miss Lelia Cheu, a young Chinese girl, who recently came to this country from Hunchow, a village near Peking.
"The famine region is a place of indescribable desolation. Where the crops grew in abundance in normal times it is now one vast desert. The people in their desecration are eating the very earth. This only increases their sickness"—New York Evening Post.

COMMISSION DETECTS NO BRAZIL CANNIBALS
General Finds No Cannibalistic Tendencies as Reported by Explorers
By Miles W. Vaughn, K. U.'15.
(United Press Staff Correspondent
Rio de Janeiro, (By Mail)—There are no cannibalistic indians in Brazil
That is the word of the famous Ron-
dom Commission, headed by General
RonKdon of the Brazilian army,
which has been in close contact with all the tribes of the nation for nearly a quarter of a century.
The General characterizes as equally fantastic tales of various American explorers who claim to have discovered the hidden white giants in the Brazilian interior.
In a report recently published here the Commission says:
"One general observation of prime importance has been verified carefully in the case of all tribes yet encountered in Brazil—no would whatever has been found which would indicate the existence of cannibalism."
General Dondon asserts that he has personally investigated the canyons where the Indian tribes are accustomed to throw the bones and refuse from their feasts, and that no human bone ever has been encountered.
The total Indian population of Brazil is estimated at about 1,000,000, of which some 30,000 are in the great city of Matto Grosso (Thick Woods).
In most of the wild tribes the law of monogamy is rigorously enforced, except for the Cauque, or chief, who is allowed to have as many wives as he wishes. The commission explains that this is in order that cross-breeding may improve the race. The inter-tribal warriors attributed to the Cauques to capture a few of the prized wives of some neighboring ruler across the river.
needed.
The Commission has found that practically all the interior tribes cultivate fields of grain and beans and are generally a peaceful, home-like people, who receive the who man (or woman) if they are properly approached.
Among the more remote tribes the use of alcohol is almost unknown, but those tribes which have come in contact with white settlers have been decimated by alcoholism and syphilis.
