THE COST OF LIVING

Much has been SAID the past
few years about the high cost
of living. Really more should
be said about the cost of high
living, for this has more to do
with the living problem than
anything else. Congressman
Murdock recently spoke of the
high cost and modern stand
ards of living" 1t is right
there, the modern standards
of living" that makes the cost
high. 1t is true that food, coal
and many other things of neces-
sity are higher than they once
were but after all it is the
modern standards that have be-
come exacting. When the
editor of this paper was a boy
the family gathered of a win
ter evening around the kitchen
stove and read the few papers,
perhaps one or two weeklies,
by the light of a couple of tai
low candles.
At bed time the family re-
tired to cold beds in cold
rooms. A foot tub furnished
the only bath room fixtures
and was used in the wood shed
or the kitchen after the family
had retired.
Now the family sits around
the hard coal heater that warns
all the sleeping rooms or the
whole house is warmed by fur
mace heat and everyone retires
and sleeps in a warm room.
For lights from two to ten or
more electric lights are en-
ployed and the evening read
ing consists of one or several
dailies, a half dozen weeklies
and magazines and more books
bought in a single year than
constituted an old time library.
When the editor of this paper
was married a rag carpet grac-
ed the parlor floors, a kerosene
lamp furnished light and the
best chairs would now hard
~ serve for the kitchen. Posi-
blv one family in a couple of
hundred had a piano and one
in fifty or seventy-five a cabinet
organ. Now high priced rugs
grace high priced hardwood
floors, mahogany furniture is
hardly a luxury, a high priced
piano a necessity. and wall
decorations and light fixtures
that compared with ordinary
homes of fifty years ago. look
like the furnishings of a palace.
