WHY PARCEL POST is NOT
SOLVING THE FOOD PROBLEM

Just how far the parcels post
can save the city hou seville dol
lars and dollars is the burden of
the talk Of many experts in home
economics. They tell of saving
the middleman's profit, of the
freshness of the articles which
are bought and Of a hundred and
one other advantages to be de-
rived from this method of sup
plying the family larder.
The city housewife in turn
contends that such buying is not
satisfactory, that the prices
quoted ars always as much as
those asked in the downtown
markets, and although the food
is fresh, that very often it is SO
poorly packed that it is not in
good condition when it reaches
her. But her chief reason for
not buying from the farmer is
that he dosen't care a picayune
about selling to her; that he
would rather sell in wholesale
lots and be done with it.
So Indifferent is the farmer to
this mode of selling that she
cannot find the long list of names
at the postofices which she ex-
poets, but a very short list, in
deed, when the number Of house

say should be thus supplied with
