and Federal taXicab companies, which
handle this business for the Willard,
Shoreham and Ebbitt Hotels, would

Down Cost of Living

An effectual way to meet the in
creased cost Of food products oc-
casioned by the European war is sug-
gested by John H. Sherman, Superin-
tendent of Weights. Measures, and Mar
kets for the District Of Columbia who
urges consumers To organize themselves
into community leagues for the pur-
pose Of buying their goods at whole
sale.
He has set aside the hours from 10
g. m. till noon on Mondays, Wednes-
days, and Fridays TO meet at his office
in the District Building representatives
OF such leagues and advise them how
and where to make economical pur-
chaseS.
In a statement issued today he gives
four rules for keepin down the grocer
bill. They are: Buy only those prod
uets that are In their natural season;
shop from market TO market and from
stand to. stand: whenever possible buy
firect from the man who raised the
PRODUCTS: buy in AS large quantities as
possible. preferably from the farmers
