Great Increase in Cost Of Living.

To look at the prices Of meats these days
is TO become vegetarian-to attempt to
buy vegetables is TO become fish eater, and
glance at the fish market rouses interest
in the attempts Of scientists to live sixty
days without food.
Last. year canned goods sold at 10 cents
can, or 95 cents dozen. but this year they
are selling at 81 so and $500 dozen.
A year ago the wife of workingman
going to market could purchase the best
stewing beef for and 8 cents pound.
Yesterday it was retailing at the same
shops at - and IA cents. Roast beef is as
high as 20 cents a pound, while sirloin
steak, which sold short time ago at 90
and 20 cents pound. is now 26 and %
cents. Pork, veal and lamb have oil gone
up in proportion, and in consequence there
has been big demand for chickens which
haYe sent she prices up 2 to cents on a
pound.
year ago there was a cry of protest
among housewives when the diaries raised
the price of butter from 25 TO % cents
pound. Now we pay 40 cents for the same
quality.
Flour has gone up a dollar on barrel
while fresh vegetables are selling at prices
which year ago would have been con-
sidered a poor kind of joke, if quoted. Who
ever paid Is cents box for blackberries in
August until this year They are usually 5
and cents a quart by this time, while
peaches, which year ago were 10 cents
quart, are this month selling for 90 cents
for the same number. Early in the summer
| wholesale dealers and farmers told of po-
tato crops so large that they were throwing
them away. The wharves and wholesale
markets were glutted; but what are the
present prices? Sixty to 80 cents basket,
where year ago they sold for 25 and S5
cents. The number of tomatoes bought up
| by the canning factories through the South
has kept their prices up to Is and 20 cents
a quarter peck, where year ago the best
tomatoes sold at S and 10 cents for the
same number.
Peas, which in 1906 sold at six cents q
half peck, are now retailing at 25 cents and
string beans and lima beans have oorres-
| ponding raise in price. Sugar corn, which
retailed at 10 and Is cents dozen last An
gust, is now % and 80 cents.
Bakers are QUITTING down the size of
loaves Of bread and rolls, but the public
does not protest. Housewives are beoom-
ing accustomed TO using substitutes for tea
and coffee, and following out the old idea
Of ''going away from the table hungry
But there's always q last straw that breaks
the camel's back, and if the present rumor
Of another increase Of one cent pound on
all meats become q fact, it is just possible
that ii may prove the proverbial straw.
