A STUDY IN COST OF LIVING

AS contribution to the discussion
OF high prices on the neccssaries OF
he. a lecture recently delivered at
Cambridge, Mass. by Nicorte George
d'Ayenel, on the prevailing prices in
former centuries is Of interest. The
lecturer proved that the cost OF living
never followed the advance or dintlnu-
tior OF wages. but that prices ON COM
m0dities and wages were regulated by
laws operating Independently of each
other. AS 10 the cost Of living, tho
lecturer said that at the close of tho
10Th century The wages OF day
laboror IN the country was equlvs-
lent TO ten hectnliters ot wheat. while
today 1t is oqual to 81 y hectoliters.
Wheat at that Time was almost too eX-
penslve for the lahorer. Meat, on the
contrary, was cheaper than II Is now
Al the beginning Of the 18TH century
a kilo OF beef was equal 10 two
kilos OF grain. while today 1t Is
worth seven kiios. This increase in
price did not result from scarcity or
cattle, but from the increase In popn-
latlon Milk butter and cheese have
not Increased so much, and this Is be-
cause today the COWS arc better fed
