i SENSELBSS ADVANCE
IN FOOD PRICES.

No Necessity For 1t, and No Ex-
cuse Except That of Greed.
The New York World last week
printed table showing the adj
vance made in the wholesale and
retail prices of ordinary staple food
articles since war was assured.
Flour has advanced 33s3 per cent.
eggs about IL per cent, hams
about IL per cent, potatoes so per
cent, canned corn 20 per cent,
beans 10 per cent, and SO on
through the list.
There is absolutely no sense in
these advances. They represent
no necessity, no condition. nothing
whatever but the greed of the
dealers.
All these articles Of food are
produced exclusively in this coun-
try, SO far as this country's con-
sumption is concerned. We have
every prospect of producing more
of them this year than ever before,
while there is practical certainty
that we shall export less of them
than usual while the war lasts.
They ought all to have declined
in price. They would have done
SO but for the rapaoity of dealers
who make of the war an excuse
for robbing the people in their
homes.
Don't pay the extortionate prices;
go without for a little while and
let your grocer understand quite
clearly why you go without A
very small reduction in his sales
will bring him to his senses.
