suit of many investigations-that is Of
help to the poor citizens of the country.
One of its activities has included a
compilation of the retail prices of fifteen
articles of food. which represent approx
imately two-thirds of the expenditure for
sustenance made by the average work
ingman. The reports of these prices are
collected from forty important industrial
cities in which live one-tifth of the total
number Of people in the United States.
From these lists of prices a poor man is
enabled to estimate the cost of living in
his particular community and demand
from his employer a wage large enough
to sustain him. In practically every

been used by workingmen and their en-
ployers as an authority toward final set

property rights breeds carelessness among
them. Any betterment of their conditions
must come from the outside.
AS result Of Uncle Sans agitation
some of the large companies have at
tempted to begin the miners uplift by
giving him every advantage in this direc-
ton. Thus a complete system of bath and
change houses has been installed at many
of the mines. and In few states they
are now required by law. These houses
have separate lockers and washroonis for
white and colored employees. They con-
tain shower baths and troughs, with hot
and cold water connections
The company charges 30 cents a month
for the use of the lockers and baths,
claiming that the charge causes the men
10 make better use of the facilities pro-
vided. 1t is found that by far the greater
number of employees take advantage Of
these facilities. and that they are better
appreciated when there is charge
Before the establishment of these
change houses underground employees
who had to bathe after work usually did
SO at their homes, where facilities were
often poor. AS the men were wet to the
skin when coming from the mine and had
to walk to their homes in wet clothing
much sickness resulted When rain fell
at the time Of going to work men would
stay at home rather than arrive at work
in wet clothing. Then, too. their earnings
were reduced.
In some of the change houses provided
by the operating companies lockers are
abandoned as insantary. and al cloth
ing is carried on trays and hooks to the
ceiling of the room. Each man has. in
stead of a locker closet, clothes hooks
which may be hoisted up out of the way
BY the use of this system the floor of
the house is not numbered with long
rows of steel closets, containing wet
clothes.
Public laundries are convenences now
being introduced for the benefit of poor
miners wives. 1t saves them the labor
Of Juggling several tubs of water to their
houses preliminary to doing the week

Living conditions among miners are
also being greatly improved as result
of this agitation by the mine sanitation
section of the bureau of mines A large
proportion of the houses in mining towns
are now being provided with grounds
large enough for small gardens. Double
advantage is then reaped by the POOR oc-
cupant. He may provide his table with
summer vegetables, and himself with nee

Realizing that the high cost OF living
is the most formidable problem confront
ing the poor man. Uncle Sam has init
ated many clever Investigations purposed
to reveal possibilities OF economy
In the Department of Agriculture his
scientists are attacking the whole food
problem from this angle.
In its office OF nutrition Investigations
are being scientifically determined the
exact demands for nourishnnent made by
the bodies OF the average lahoring man
and his family.
In this workshop different articles of
food are being experimental with to de-
terrnine those varieties which supply the
most nourishment
In the laboratory Of this office has been
placed an ingenious cell in which men
are being imprisoned for days At a time
that the exact effects which each variety
Q. food may have upon their bodies may
re measured under uniform conditions
This cell is made alright. that the effect
which each diet has upon the temper
a.ure Of The body and even upon the
breath exhaled from the lungs may be
exactly measured by delicate instru-
.nents
In other words. the apparatus accounts
ror every fraction Of every ounce of food
passed into the cell through a valve. 1t
treasures the amount that has been sad-
ded to the body's weight and the amount
lost through various processes II COM
rares these gains and losses while the
subject inside is performing different
kinds of work. mental and physical ANA
while he is led upon different varieties
of food.
Thus are being obtained facts set be-
fore the poor mans wife to show her
Low she can SO feed her husband and
children that their bodies vii! be well
sustained at minimum expense.
1t has thus been estimated that the nor
NAL man at active outdoor labor. such
as masonry or carpentry, demands a GER
'ain amount OF food containing, exactly
50 much fuel value and So much direct
bacterial for muscle and blood building
10 yield the amount uf energy he re-

Tor the man Of indoor employ ment.
With these dehrlte facts before them
the scientists have been enabled To be-
