What this means to family budgets needs no demonstratinz Housekeepers everywhere are complaining that a five dollar bill buys searcely more than half the provisions it bought this time last year. Where is it to eud? It is true wages in some quarters have gone up. But the vast majority of American families of modest means have had no addition to their incomes, Is it the war? And if 80, how?

Are Americans being cheated out of enormous quantities of their own food products in order that some- body may harvest huge profits abroad?
