G0ST OF LIVING 1SSTILL GOING UP Price of Food Continaes to Bur- den Average Family Mr. Average Worker dropped his tools at the factory bench, took off his mechanic's apron, and with his weekly wage of $25 In his pogkét ctarted out to see what he could do towards keeping a home. Mr, A. W. had just decided that he was golng to be marrled, the b, g w. (best ‘girl {n the world) had sald “Yes" and he was doing a little research work for himself. He wandered into a store and inquired, “How mfich does it cost to keep two people?” After the clerk had recovered from the shock he pick- vd up a gencll and did a little fig- uring. “Well, Mr. A. W, it depends upon how economical a wife you zet, The average family runs in cost of ‘table upkeep’ including,gas about four dollars per person. If you want to eat the very best fresh +ggs right now they will cost from S0 to 86 ecents a dozen. Good but. ter ranges anywhere from 53 to 63 cents a pound, “Beef for roasting! continued the provision clerk, “will cost you anywhere from 25 to 38 cents a pouhd, depending upon the cut. Pork for roasting will run from 84 to 40 cents a pound. Every quart of milk you buy means you must shell out another 16 cents, and some dealers make you deposit five cents to insure the return of the bottle. “Whole ' smoked hams can be purchased for 35 to 40 cents a round, while the eame ham sliced costs from €0 to 70 cents. Porter house steaks are likely to run you anything from 55 to 80 cents a pound. Tomatoes now sell for 19 cents a pound and the canned sar- dines your mother used to buy for five cents a can, now bring from seven to 12 1-2. Bacon costs about 42 cents a pound. Ralsins are 10 and good.coffee runs anywhere up to 60 cents a pound.” Surprised but undaunted Mr. A.| W. strolled along Main street look- ing in the store windows. Passing weveral clothing stores he learned that overcoats and suits cost any- where from $25 to $60 ready made. “How much would it cost me to| furnich an apartment?’ he in- aujred of a furniture man. “A four room apartment would be furnish- d for anything from $500 to $1,- 000, of the type the average Amer. ican ‘coupls wants'” replied the turnifure man, Quoting from a statement recent- 1y made by a New York authority, this furniture man said “The low-| cst priced three room apartment under the American standard of living, would cost 3440 A six| room apartment of the type zhe,‘; same eoupls would prefer would cost $11771.20 if they picked ae- cording’ td their wishes and not thelr pocket book.™ “What do you advisa to young coupled, that they buy as much as | they can of a cheaper grade, or e ist's winter bugaboo. it need not be.

And don't hang youre self with debts, pay cash. Don't buy a houseful of furniture, an au- tomoblle, a radlo set and several other things and obligate yourself to pay them all off at so much per week." Passing on, Mr. A. W. dropped into the office of a real estate dealer, “Tell me what good apart: ments are renting for in this city he sald. “The best apartments, with all conveniences, including heat and the more modern with electric refrigeration are bringing from $16 to $20 a room,” waa the reply. “What does a mah earning $25 a week, usually pay?’ “Well, there are some fairly good apartments in the city renting for from $30 to $45 a month, without heat. Of course there are cheaper ones, but they are not the kind the best families are looking for." With a different idea of the fal- lacy of the saying that “Two can | live as cheaply as one," but deter- | mined that if thousands of others| can do it, so can he, Mr. A. W. went to his boarding house and | when last seen was still busy with Ms pencil.
