This is the desideraturm OF all wage
and salary workers in an era OF rising
prices. In most cases il Is achieved
but slowly and imperrectly, in a series
OF abrupt jumps, resulting from ser.

this case il is achieved smoothly and

The ups and downs of the cost of liV-

expenses Of any family will vary about
