year. whereas. since August this year.
such retail food prices have been kept
practically stationary.
ITO illustrate, az from August to
November, inclusive, 1916, there was
an advance In retail food prices of
thirteen points; in 1917. eighteen
points, and in 1918. sixteen points, as
compared with no increase whatsoever
in the corresponding period Of 1919.
81 Considering the four years from
1911 to 1914, Inclusive, retail prices
show a slight upward trend from Sept.
/ to Oct. /, greater upward trend
from Oct. to Nov. 1. and practically
Stationary from Nov. to Dec. /.
During the four years from 1915 to
1918. inclusive, retail food prices show
a decided upward trend from Aug. l
to Oct. /. and slightly lessened but
decided upward trend to Nov. and to
Dec. I.
'eeThis year during September and
general level OF retail prices was ef-
fected as compared with August. while
the figure for November, altho slightly
above that Of October. shows no in
crease above the August returns.
In other words. the official data
clearly shows the significant fact that
the cost Of living as indicated by re-
tail food prices was no greater In
November Of this year than It was in
August, while during former years. ex-
tending back to 1911, tie returns for
November show considerable in
crease over the August returns.
The history Of retail food prices in
dicateas that Ia decided downward
trend ordinarily may. be expected In
the part Of the year between Jan. and
March i. and It is to be hoped that
this trend will be accelerated this year
by the campaign initiated by the gov
eminent which is just now getting well
under way"

PALMER POINTS TO RESULTS.

Washington. Dec. 23.-Attorney Gen
eral Palmer issued statement last
night covering the activities OF the
government to reduce the cost OF Nv
ing, admission Is made that high cost
has not been conquered, but hope ~
announced for a drop in prices early
next year. -
Natural causes, dilatoriness Of con-
gress in coming to the aid OF the gov
eminent with necessary legislation,
and continued extravaganza OF the
public, are given as the reasons Tor
failure to curb high prices. altho 1t y
asserted that the united efforts OF gov
eminent departments have kept prices
from soaring even higher than they
were last summer, and have brought
about q condition where continued
united effort Of government and pup.
lie should bring desired results.
The attorney generals statement
gives rise to speculation as to what
the railroad brotherhoods may do re-
earding q renewal Of their demands for
substantial wage increases.
Tho campaign against tho high cost
Of living was inauguratod at the re-
quest Of tho president. u. who got
promise from the brotherhoods to
postpone their wage demands until he
could take a whack at the high prices.
It was predicted tonight that some
Of tho railroad brotherhood leaders

been given sufficient opportunity TO
got results and has failed, and that
