WHY FOOD IS HIGHER
DUE TO PRIDE AND VANITY OF
CONSUMER.
Government Statistician Declares
Even Common People Want Best
of Everything and Pay for
Fancy Packages.

Washington.-Pride and vanity on
the part of the average individual
rather than in increase in the cost 0i
raw products or manufacture are the
causes for the present high price OF
fOodstuffs, according to DR.. LIE Grand
Powers, agricultural statistician OF
the census bureau.
People nOwadayS-I mean average
people, common people if you will-in-
sist upon having the best of every
thing" said DR.. Powers. "The work
lngman insists upon the finest cuts
of meats and he buys better meat
perhaps, than the salaried or profes,
sional man. He doesn't subscribe 10
the shinbOne doctrine of Edward At
kinson. He has a feeling that he is
as good as anybody else, and this feel
ing asserts itself in his purchases.
That is vanity
you remember the time, perhaps,
when man who wanted to buy a
steak threw his basket over his arm
and went to the grocery after it, But
he won't carry bundle now His
meat must be sent to him. That is
pride.
TT is safe to estimate that it costs
five cents a steak for every cut that is
delivered to the house. The same is
true with other commodities of every
day necessity. The man whose food
is delivered to him by the grocer or
bat cher pays the freight
You may take any article you
please" continued Dr. Powers. "and
you will find that the margin between
the manufacturer and consumer is
constantly increasing. The middle
man, or dealer, is the gamer to a con
siderable degree. although he is not
responsible altogether for the high
prices of foods. He must meet the
consumers fancies, he must make his
goods look attractive, and he must lav
them at the door of the household. All
of this costs money and of course the
consumer pays the freight.

The flour that goes into a one

more, of course, The price for this
one pound package is higher than. it
ought to be. 1t probably costs eight
or ten cents, where it should not cost
more than five or six. The higher
price to the consumer is the result of
the fancy package, demanded by the
widely spreading national vanity, and
further of the fact that the article
must be delivered, service that is de-
manded by the pride of the purchaser.
