SOARING PRICES HIT
RESTAURANT DINERS
Meats Lead Advance in Cost of
Living and Retrenchment
May Follow

The increase In meat prices is the re-
suit of world wide demand for live
stock of all kinds. which can be traced
directly to the war. American cattle
dealers could export meat now at big
prices, but the demand at home is as un.
usual as In Europe, This is said to be
due to the wave of prosperity which is due
to the war SO many persons have work
which is paying them more money than
they ever earned before that they are
spending more money than they have ever
spent before.
Part of this money is being spent for
food The first thing that n poor man
will economize on Is meat Now there are
said to be comparatively few poor and
consequently every one is eating meat
At least every one was eating meat last
week The restaurant managers expect
y marked falling Off in meat orders this
week as result of the jump in prices
Only a few weeks ago the managers
of the first-class cafes and hotel restau
rants took cognizance of the increase in
food prices by announcing that they
would no longer serve bread and butter
with an order, but would charge an extra
sum for that article.

In his mind was the decision to inspect

about 30 minutes, and then return to my
