to make the method of finding out the
price of more than one magazine with
the Monitor plain (the price for any one
single is given in the especial COM
bined price. ~ It'svery easy. Just take
a pencil, find the magazine you want
and subtract from the Especial COM
bined price" $3.50, then find the next
magazine or paper wanted and do the
same. and the next until all the maya
zines wanted have been taken, then
add the several results and $1.50 be
sides. This is the price for the var1-
Gus publication you want including the
Monitor a year. III you don't want
the Monitor but six months add Is
cents instead of $3.50. Nothing can
be more simple or palmer.
Read this list through. If you
don't find the magazine or paper want
ed ask for special price and we will
quote you the net cost price to US plus
the price of the Monitor-and this is
the method on all our quotations here.

creased Consumption and Variety of
Diet nanded-sun1mer Products
Now Within Reach of the Masses In
Midwinter at Moderate Prices
Washington, jan 3.-Professor
Milton Whitney, chief Of the bureau
of soils Of the department Of agricul-
ture, has added his voice to the gen
eral chorus Of explanation as to why
the price Of food continually advances
and never recedes. His is the ex-
PLANTATION Of the scientist who is
watching the development Of tie pro-
ducing capacity of our farm lands, the
increase in the volume as well as the
value Of our products.
Professor Whitney inclines to as
cribe the unremitting advance to the
fact that as Americans grow richer
in material wealth, such as incomes
from capital and from the results of
labor in its various forms, they are
constantly increasing the amount they
eat, the variety Of their diet and the
quality of food which they demand.
Whitney said:
The secretary of agriculture has
for years been calling attention to the
increase in the amount and value Of
our crops. Why the increased cost 4,
if productivity has more than kept
pace with the per capita growth?
Obviously because of the increased de-
mand per capita. The amount we
consume is-fn some sense proportional
to the variety of our foods and our
ability to purchase.
We are as a nation very rich;
wages are high, and we can afford
variety, and we all enjoy far greater
variety than we did fifty years ago.

small, already nave In DeceIoe'
spring and summer vegetables

reach of the masses of our people.

breakfast foods and other preparations
made of wheat and corn. This variety
tends to increase consumption. We eat
more per capita than we used to. If
