Food for Family of Three at $3.50
Per Week,
YEAR BRINGS BIG ADVANCES
IN COST OF FOODSTUFFS

l;evable: others are only slight. but
throughout the entire list there Is nc
commodity which can be regarded as
cheap. The fact that certain early
vegetables are no higher than they
were last year does not mean that they
are within the reach of the average
consumer. for last years prices were
also abnormally high.
Buyers for several of the leading
Washington hotels estimate that they
are compelled to pay from SO to 100
per cent more this year than last for
their food supplies, while housewives
with whom the reporter talked esti-
mated the increased cost of food for
what it was last year.
The prices quoted in the above table
are for commodities in wholesale lots
that ts, in the original package. Com
mission merchants urge that as a mat
ter of economy housewives buy their
food supplies at WHOLESALERS prices, and
they will sell crate of vegetables Or
barrel of potatoes to any one who cares
to buy. Some wholesalers will even
break a crate of tomatoes and sell by
the pan at an advance of about 10 cents
over the wholesale price.
In every case the price quoted in the
table Is for the fancy grades Of coun-
try produce and other commodities. The
these prices are those which are first
class in every respect. Culls and vege-
tables which do not come up to the
recognized trade standards frequently
sell for one-half the top price. The
exact range OF these prices can be
ascertained by consulting the local
produce market reports.

barrel, and for those weighing less
than thirteen ounces, as some do. the
showing is still worse for the bad
side of this story. The above bread
statement Is for No. standard winter
wheat -four. The spring wheat fancy
f1ours show up still worse for the
dealers, because that wheat absorbs
much more water, and the showing
on the same basis of weights for spring
wheat is as follows: Sixteen-ounce
loaves. $3.50 more than ought to be
charged per barrel; fourteen.ounce
ounce loaves, $10.60 extra profit. There
is fiction of a six-cent loaf still
weighing ten ounces. but the grocers
tell me they cannot get these. Per-
haps they do not pay as good a profit.
The writer of this letter begs to state
he is neither a radical. anarchist nor
socialist, but performances like those
mentioned above are likely to produce
radicals, anarchists, socialists and
rioters. DANIEL SMITH GORDON.

SAYS HIGH PRICE OF
BREAD is UNREASONABLE
To the Editor of The Star:


The recent rise in price OF bread
stuffs is absolutely unjustifiable from
anv standpoint that may be taken. as
a glance at facts below viii! snow, ex-
cent a desire on the part OF those en-
gagged in that business TO aoo 10 lheiL
1rofits For instance, crackers, much
used. weighing five and one quarter
ounces, and containing less than four
ounces of flour, wholesale price, nave
jumped from cents to IL cents: now,
these crackers have only IL cents
value of -four in them. Water. which
is a very large part of their weight,
am advised. has not advanced in price.
and salt, also, good part OF the the
than ten ounces of flour to make
thirteen-ounce package of these same
crackers. The -four in this package
costs less than cents. with flour at
SIS per barrel. The wholesale price OF
these crackers Is raised from 20 cents
to 80 cents. and, of course. the retail
price, 25 cents to 35 cents. These are
not fancy crackers, but those much
used. No sugar or expensive materi--
we cannot possibly account for ten
cent rise in thing in which all the ma
terials used in it's production. even at
present high prices. cost considerably
less than the rise in prices alone.
These facts apply to wholesale prices.
OF course, the retailer must charge an
accordingly higher retail price. Now
let us take a glance downward to a
more staple thing than crackers. and
one which does not require any extras
in way of boxing, etc.-in fact, "the
staff Of 1ife"-bread:
Winter wheat makes 240 sixteen
ounce loaves to barrel. 275 fourteen
ounce loaves or 295 thirteen ounce
loaves. Noy, 1t is a well known fact
that the water, salt. ETC.. contained
in loaf bread make a handsome profit
for the baker, even when bread is sold
at the same price as the flour costs.
Bread can and ought to be retailed at
the price per pound paid for the Hour.
Any one doubling this statement can
ask any army man who has these mat
ters in charge, and he will tell you
how ready bakers are to trade bread
for flour. pound for pound. Then ]
must tell my reader there are few
bakers who make pound loaves Those
made now weigh mostly twelve and
one-half, thirteen and fourteen ounces
This is from actual weighing of the
bread on May 81 and 22, 1917, in six
different stores in Washington. This
shows. even at the wholesale price OF
8 cents per loaf. sixteen-ounce loaves
an extra profit tax of 1920 per barrel
fourteen-ounce loaves. 81 per barrel
thirteen-ounce loaves. $3.50 extra pei

cause lamb is very nourishing and less
expensive than beef.
I do not serve potatoes every day. AS
substitutes use rice in various ways,
macaronf and cheese. spaghetti with
tomato sauce and similar dishes
Because of the high price of flour,
plan to have corn bread or cornmeal

I have two dinners each week with
out meat On these days use as meat
substitutes cheese souffie, eggs baked
in milk or eggs and cheese in some
other form.
I watch 1eft-overs carefully. saving
bits of bacon and ham and using these
with meat stock for rice en- casserole.
Leftover meat and vegetables are also
used EN- casserole or for savory stews.
For breakfast for the past week L
served cereals of various kinds with
cream and sugar, eggs tsoit polled'
poached, scrambled or fried, bacon,
toast. butter. fried mush, marmalade or

For luncheon, cold meat bread and

rice, macaroni or spaghetti, carrots.
