RICE is CHIEF FOOD OF THE
POOR OF ATLANTA

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 24.-The poorer
people OF Atlanta have begun to live
almost exclusively on rice, it is said.
because rice is; the only staple food
commodity which has not been affect
ed by the high cost of living.
While rice continues at 5 and 6
cents pound, all other staples and
vegetables and f1ours and meals have
gone up in Atlanta and the South,
just as they have in the North, and
it is said the crest has not vet been
reached
Canned tomatoes, corn, peas, in fact
practically all canned goods have
gone up anywhere from Is to so per
cent over last year.
Canned soup has gone up, potatoes
are out of sight, and even cabbage is
up fifty cents crate. Turnips, grape
fruit and onions are all higher.
A few things like apples, cranber-
ries and oranges have dropped of
slightly in price, but with these few
exceptions everything is Ginning.
