The American dollar. say men who
know, is worth only about ninety
cents compared to the buying power
of a dollar a few years ago. and how
to get one hundred cents of value in
food is the problem the woman who
markets must solve.
Fifty years ago the market place of
a city was it's business center and in
the larger cities of the country this
condition is recurring, at least in the
markets of Baltimore, Philadelphia,
Washington, Cleveland and New
York, the picturesque old scenes Of a
generation ago are faithfully repro
duced.
New things to eat have been in
vented and new ways of living have
been invented but wives of men on a
moderate salary realize 1t pays to
go to market. So with market money
gripped in safe purse and a heavy
laden basket on her arm in the place
of a shopping bag. she makes her pur-
chases and plans her dinners for
several days to come. Last year there
was sold from the city markets of the
country more than a hundred. million
pounds Of meat and millions Of
pounds of poltry and fish besides.
today more and a better class are
trading at the curbstone counters and
sidewalk aisles than ever before; it
is the visible struggle of the people
for relief from high prices.
Farmers willingly drive all night

ing the profit Of the middleman for
themselves. but the market shelters
the middleman and the worse than
middleman, the huckster, who in
order to meet competition must sell
inferior goods.
II you stand at the door Of Wash
ington market, or on Market Hill, In
Baltimore or at Sheriff street corner
in Cleveland you will see every type
represented during the day. In the
early morning the keepers of small
restaurants and the buyers for large
ones, and boarding house keepers and
a few thrifty housewives who do not
mind early rising If they scent bar
gain, are on hand first There is
little pickering at this hour for the
buyers are old players at the game
and the market people know them
and must have their trade. so that
by the time the Average Man is sit
ting down to his coffee and rolls the
best of the days supplies are gone.
In the middle of the morning you
will see different class of buyers,
the housekeeper who goes to market
because she wants a larger selection
to choose from. stands first in front
of stands piled high with poultry and
looks at turkeys, ducks, geese and
chickens and then saunters over to
where the utility of the humble hog
is displayed, almost every part of the
creatures anatomy is now used in
sausages and buildings and in its
natural shape. then her eye lights on
the red beef, pink veal and choice
mutton and she feels called upon to
handle, punch and inspect these
before buying the round of beef that
she has had in mind all along.
The lady who always buys the
| best is also in evidence at the morn
ing market. She scrutinizes every
thing through her lorgnette, including

spair of the market people.
