Dear Miss Grey:
Cd When a gentleman takes a
lady to luncheon or dinner, say a
business friend and at hours of
business, is it proper to thank him.
and If SO, what should one say?
(2) When he takes you to thea
ters, dances or supper is it prop
er to thank him then, or is a
lady's appreciation understood in
this case? CD Is it proper to
take lump sugar with the fingers,
and also olives and pickles? "a
How should one use the word
sufficient" as, quite sufficient, 4"
or great sufficiency" 90
Should one say "a hotel" or IAN
hotel? RUSTY.
A.-D Thankful expressions
are not necessary, but it is proper
to remark that you have enjoyed
the lunch very much. CD The
same applies. CD Unless. there
is tableware within reach, it is
quite proper except in the case OF
pickles. For pickles it is easier
to use your table fork. (4) Mere

THE COST OF FOOD.

y y \ = = y y \ \ \
Announcement that the Bureau Of
Labor is pursuing an exhaustive in
yestigation into the cost of iood pro-
ducts to the consumer, as supplement
tary to similar investigation by the
Department of Agriculture relative
to the prices paid directly to the pro-
Queer, is a matter of great interest
to the public. When the data now
being collected by the Bureau of La
Dor are tabulatad and published COM
parison between these tables and
those gathered by the Department Of
Agriculture will enable one to ascer-
tain, with good degree of eXactness,
what the the cost of transportation
and distribution of foods really is.
This important item in the problem
has never ben worked out satisfactory
in any investigation yet made.
The fact has ben long estt%%31A4-ffssned
that the price of food products at the
point of production has not increased
in the last ten years at the rate of re-
tail prices to the consumer. The farm
er, while participating to some degree
in the rise, according to the showing
of the Department of Agriculture, has
not received more than 1.-THE of what
the city dweller has been obliged to
pay for the same articles. The mo-
tive for this investigation by the Blu
reau of Labor is the suspicion that the
system of gathering products, trans
porting them to market and distribut-
ing them has placed an inordinate tax
upon food.
This suspicion, right or wron. has
been forced upon the minds of the
majority of men who pay the bills for
food in the cities. They have been
DESTROYS for a long time of ending
out whether the series of enterprises
which furnish food products were be-
ing too well paid for the service rem
dered. It will be truly significaht
to find out whether the agencies con-
tanned in the word "middlemen" are
holding prices down to the producer
and at the same time boosting them
up to the consumer. There is 10 way
to discuss this subject fairly until some
agency with competent facilities and
authority shall make thorough inves-
tigation and report the findings For
these reasons the work of the Bureau
of Labor will be not only of nation
wide interest, but will put Ito the
hands Of congress, the press and the
people Of the country facts upon
which right conclusions may be found
