THRIFT MUST BE PER-
MANENT SAYS STRAUSS
President of American Society for
Thrift Utters Prophecy.

Pittsburg, Pa, June 29.-"The
time is rapidly coming in America
when every employer must see not
only that his employees practice
thrift but that their condition of en-
ployment are such that they can prac-
tice it," declared S. w. Straus, pres
ident of the American Society for
Thrift, in an address before the Ma
tional Educational Association here
this evening.
"The dollar sign is passing as the
insignia of ruthless power" he said,
"and the day is dawning when it
shall stand also as the symbol of pro-
lection for the weak and help to the
worthy.
eve have come into a new order of
things. The day of right by might
is ending. This war marks the dark
mes which precedes the dawn Of uni
versal democracy-a democracy that
shall be lifted to the lofty level of
brotherhood.
Unto the craftsmanship, the poll
, tics, the business of the day that is
breaking just ahead, will come a new
spirit-a spirit Of honesty, generosi-
ty and gentleness.
"The craftsmanship of the world
will be successful only insofar as it
is honorable and just. The politician
who achieves success will attain his
ends by worthy deeds alone. The
business man must stand in the broad
ground Of real brotherhood. The at
titude between employer and en-
ploye will be that of man to man,
not master and slave.
every man must practice thrift
and every man must have a chance
to practice it.
"Are we fighting this war merely
to crush the power of coterie Of
mad-men whose hearts are beating
in unison with the cruelty and treach-
cry Of medievalism, and whose stand
ards Of life are those of Frederick
the Great?
"Is it alone the object of the war
to demonstrate that the feudal spirit
of the eighteenth century was wrong?
Are we fighting merely to prove the
fallacy of autocracy? No, we are

coin a new term-the patriotism of
peace-savings.
Through thrift the world will rise
from her ruins; the nations will
emerge from the chaos of devasta-
ton and debt, and set forth again on
the great highways of destiny"

RESTRICTIONS ON BEEF
HAVE BEEN REMOVED
Easier Conditions Now for Public
Eating Places and Homes, Ad-
ministration Rules.

Limitations on the consumption OF
fresh beef in public eating places and
the voluntary conservation in the
homes have been rescinded by the
United States Food Administration.
The regulations rescinded by this
action prohibited serving beef more
than once a day in restaurants and
hotels, and limited domestic consump-
tion to one and a half pounds a per-
son weekly. On suspending these reg
ulations about one month earlier than
it contemplated. the food administra-
tion requests that the use of beef be
restricted as far as practicable to cat
tie which dress under ATS pounds.
The desire of the food administra-
tion at present Is not primarily to in
crease the consumption Of beef as a
whole, but to induce a preference In
favor of the lighter weight cattle. OF
which We have an abnormal surplus.
This will bring about conservation
of the heavier cattle needed for our
soldiers and for export to our allies.
At the same time 1t will afford a meas
ure of protection through increased
outlet for cattle raisers in the drought
affected areas, the administration
states.

FOOD HIGHER HERE
THAN IN ST.L0U|S
Markets Bureau Compares
Prices on 81 Articles of
Daily Consumption.
COST TO AVERAGE FAMILY

Food prices in Washington are con-
siderabIy higher than those In St
Louis. Mo-. especially for the more
important articles such as fresh meats,
bread. butter. eggs. poultry. potatoes,
fruits and canned and fresh vege-
tables.
A comparison of prices in these two
cities has been prepared by the bu-
reau of markets of the Department of
Agriculture. According to the official
announcement of the bureau, the
average family in Washington pays
approximately 1876 per cent more for
it's food than it would pay for the
same kinds and quantities II living in
the Missouri city. The comparison
between the-tw cities was made for
thirty-seven food products. The prices
were collected by experts of the bu-
reau on July %.
What the Reports Show.
The reports show that sirlion steaks
are 43 per cent higher in Washington.
rib roast is 33 per cent higher, chuck
roast is 30h per cent. round steak
2s5a per cent and plate roast IS per
cent.
Bread is Is per cent higher in WASH
ington and potatoes SO per cent higher
than in St. Louis. Next in importance
comes print butter. for which the local
consumers are paying per cent more
than are those in st. Louis. Fresh eggs
are 81. per cent higher here and evapo-
rated milk per cent higher.
The figures on fresh lamb chops
showed Washington to be per cent
higher and for leg of lamb 13 per cent
higher Pork chops cost IAN per cent
more here than in st. Louis. 1t costs
more than one-third more for fresh
poultry in this city. Yellow cornmeal
per cent higher. Fruits are 125 per
cent higher and canned vegetables 13
per cent higher.
st. Louis Higher on Six Articles.
OF the thirty-seven articles listed by
the bureau St. Louis is higher on six.
On four items the prevailing prices are
the same. The food articles which are
reported as cheaper in Washington
ham. per cent; sliced ham, 4 per
cent; cheese. per cent; oleomargar-
me, per cent, and rice, 9 per cent.
In making this comparison the bureau
explains that this is not due to the fact
u. Il poorer class of meats or other
Is USeu III 11OulS oH lTe
contrary the bureau says St. Louis uses
even a better grade of meat than WASH
ington is able to obtain.
The bureau explains that the 1876
per cent does not represent an aver
age of the excess of Washington
prices over St Louis on the items as
listed. Some of these items, such as
fresh beef. are important in the diet,
while others, such as salmon, are con-
sumed in much smaller quantitis.
How Excess Is Shown.
The 1866 per cent in Washington food
costs in an average family is arrived
at by giving weight to the variouS
articles in accordance with the pro-
portion of the family food funds
spent for each. Thus If 10 per cent of
the family food fund is spent for
beef and per cent for potatoes. beef
should be given double the weight of
potatoes in figuring comparative
family food costs in different cities.
This is the third comparative table
of this nature published this week
by the bureau. Prices in Baltimore
were shown to be Z per cent cheaper
than in Washington. and Minneapolis,
IA per cent cheaper.
