INCREASED Cost OF LIvING.-The
bureau of labor has issued bulletin on
the cost of living of workingmen's
families, showing that of 1867 families
in thirty-three States, from whom data
was obtained, the average income per
family was 1927, 19 average expenditure
for all purposes, $76S, 54; average ex-
penditure per family for food, $4,000,
and the average size family, 5.G1 per-
sons. The last figure is 40 above the
average of private families in the whole
country as shown by the census of 1900.
The food expense is more than AZ IL
per cent. of The expenditure for all pur-
poses. An extended Investigation cover
ing the years 1S90-1902 shows that
IL . cost of food reached its highest in
1902, the average then being 1913 per
cent. above the average for The decade
1S90-1S99, aod an increase of l6.l per
cent. compared with 1896, the year Of
lowest prices. 1t is announced as a con-
servative conclusion that the increase
in the cost of living, as a whole, in
1902, when compared with the year of
lowest prices, was not over 16.1 per
cent, The figures given as the increase
in the cost of food as shown by this in
yestigation. This assumes, of course,
always the purchase of the same articles
and the same quantities in years OF low
prices, low wages, and more or less ir-
regular employment, and in years OF
highec prices, higher wages, and steady
employment
