FOOD los PER CENT HIGHER.
Wholesale Prices in I9i3-I920 Period
Advance 50 TO 200 Per Cent

New York. March 22.-Thc average
family may take heart in the matter of
the cost of living. According 10 reports
received by the Frederaf Bureau of Labor
Statistics, made public in New York
yesterday, the average family expenditure
for food was sir-tenths of per cent less
in February than in january. These
reports are from retail dealers in fifty-one
cities
However, when these figures are taken
IN connection with those for January,
when the cost was % more than for
December, It viii be seen that the average
housewife is yet paying good price for
her provendcr. january WAS the highest
month since 1918 and the reduction in
February Of per cent still leaves that
month l6 per cent behind December,
which until january was the highest
month recorded
The bureau goes on 10 tell that the
figures for February, 1920 show an in
crease Of 10 per cent compared with
February of n year ago. However, in
February Of year ago there was a drop Of
