And she did not have the excuse of

II was with Just that tinge Of preoccu

The truth OF the matter was, she had

STOP THE FOOD HoGS.-Now
that the Tribune has revealed to us
how to reduce the high cost Of Iiv-
ing, why worry?
The Tribune says if you like to eat
roast beef, eat three tablespoons of
macarOni with cheese instead. If
you can't afford to eat roast lamb,
then eat three tablespoons Of baked
beans.
One-half pint of split pea soup IS
just as good as roast chicken. Cab
bage, Of course, is only as good as
bread. So one might just as we'll
eat bread.
Society women tell us to eat po-
tatOes once a week to reduce the
high cost of living. Think Of it! PO-
tatOes once a week in America, the
land Of plenty! And at a time when
prosperity is at its heighth.
Everybody. is investigating the
high cost of living. The district at
tOTney is investigating; congress is
investigating. And now the pres1-
dent wants money to investigate. But
who is going to act? That's the
question. Why are investigations ne
cessary? There are no secrets about
the high cost of living. I can give
all the information for nothing.
The grain elevators are loaded to
capacity and so are the cold storage
plants. If the government will seize
them, that will end it. Why dilly-
daily around any longer?
Senator Thomas of Colorado says:
THE way to deal with that is to take
those who corner food supplies by
the Threats. I dislike to see food
riots in free America. but can see
