Childs Agrees to Cut
High Prices ON Milk
IS OF. cup Of milk. &C."

OF. cup OF milk. ............ Sc"
IL OF. glass Of milk. .1Oc."
These were two new lines which ap-
peared yesterday on the menus of sew
eral Of the Childs chain of restaurants.
For over three months the only notice
on the menu that milk was served was
the rigid notice, glass Of milk. .1Oc."
This change follows the agreement
reached by the Federal Food Board of
hcials and the Childs company that
milk which costs 10 cents a quart
should not bring slightly less than 10
cents for half pint, the high cost of
labor notwithstanding The company
agreed to offer the option quoted
above, and the additional concession
OF seven ounce glass at the self
service establ:shme for cents.
The price reduction is along the lines
recommended in exhaustive articles
which have appeared from time to time
in the editorial and The Tribune Insti
tute columns of The Tribune. After
pointing. out that the 100 per cent IN
crease, from cents to 10 cents. was
rnwarranted, The Tribune suggested
an increase to cents a glass.
At the Offices of the Childs company.
200 Fifth Avenue, it was stated YES,
'terdsy that the change in price will
be made gradually in the various
branches and that the entire chain
would be on the two-prce milk basis
in few weeks.
