. UP 6 PER Cent
IN LAST YEAR
Bureau Labor Statistics Report
Shows Higher Prices Paid
for Food Than Jan. ], 1919
Some Staples Down.

Washington. Jan. New Years day
found the American people paying an
average of six per cent more for nee
essary foods, as compared with Jan. I,
1919. according to figures at the bu-
reau of labor statistics today. Prices
of some staples have gone down, these
reports showed, while prices OF others
have incYeased the average has
been upward during the last year. That
the government is making little pro-
gress In its fight to lower living costs
is Indicated by the fact that since Aug
ust, the month the president directed
Attorney General Palmer to investi-
gate and to use all means to bring
prices back to normal, there has been
a drop in the cost of some food.
Round steak. for instance, has drop
ped since August from 1914 cents to
37.9 cents per pound. Bacon is down
more than two cents to 55.6 cents a
pound. Flour dropped a small frac-
tion OF a. cent, as did sugar. Potatoes
were down more than cent q pound.
Against, there has been an increase OF
three cents in eggs, close to two cents
in butter, and one-fifth OF cent In
milk per quart.

read Intoxicating liquors" II this
is officially verified, Edwards is ex-
pected to point out to Lansing that the
