James j. Hill, Archbishop Ireland

James ]. HILL Archbishop Ireland
and Henry Clews are right 1t is not
so much the high cost of living as the
cost of high living. Az the last
named well says, "tbe cost of living
is a matter largely within the discre-
ton OF each individual. Cheaper and
equally efficient foods can be had,
and many individuals have become ac-
customed to luxurious standards OF
living which they can easily moderate
without detriment. Extravaganza has
more to do with the increased cost of
living than many are willing TO admit.
