Shown by Figures Made Public
by Bureau of Economic
Research.
WEALTH INCREASE NOT REAL
country's Income In 1918 Almost
Double That Of 1918, but Actual
Tota! Of Commodities Produced
Was Not Great

New York. Oct. 27.-The total ma
tional income OF the United States in
1918 was 81 billion dollars. as COM
this increase In dollars did not repre-
sent like increase In production. Most
of 1t was due to the rise in prices, for
the dollar of 1913 and 1919 was much
less efficient dollar than that of 1913.
The actual total Of commodities pro-
duced increased very little. If at all.
and large part of those which were
produced were war materials, not of
kind really benefting consumers.
Consequently. Individual Incomes,
estimated on a per capita basis, rising
from S340 In 1910 and 1884 In 1913
to 1886 in 1918. represent more dollars
but little or no real increase, because
the 1886 of 1918 Is equivalent to only
1872 in terms of the purchasing power
of 1913.
These are the most important find
ings of the National Bureau of Eco
nomic research, made public today
in advance of the formal publication
of the results Of years study of
Income In the United States" This
study, the most exhaustive ever made
of the income question In this country,
has been conducted by Wesley Clair

under the auspices ard direction of a
board Of nineteen directors, including
men prominent In many fields of busi-
ness, education, labor, agriculture, eco
nomics and practical statistics. and
representing many divergent points of
view.

ings. including the equivalent value
of per capita income in terms of the

had incomes of $1,000 or more, and
that this one per cent had Ia per cent
Of the national income. Five per cent.
representing incomes above 1920,

Shares Of Labor and Capital.
In most of the years since 1912, the
bureau finds that in the principal or
ganized Industries, wages and salaries
were about 10 per cent of the total in
come; while capital Qncluding man
agement) received about 30 per cent
out Of which were paid rent, interest
and profits; but these proportions va
ried materially with relative prosper
ity and depression. In 1916, for ex-
ample, the share Of capital increased
to about 35 per cent, with 65 per cent
to labor. while in 1919 capitals share
fell to about 22 per cent, while labor
got about 78. OF the total payments
to employees In the highly organized
industries, about 90 per cent goes to
the manual workers and clerical stafrs,
while per cent goes to officials.
Share Of the Farmer.
The farmers, who during the past
decade have made up about 10 per
cent Of the total Of gainfully employed,
had from II to 13 per cent of the ma
tional income in the years between
1910 and 1915 Inclusive: since 1917
they have been receiving 16 to IT per

ties such as education and road-build-
ing. produce only about half of tho ma

efforts of small independent workers.
income Tax Diserepanciea-

Der of persons In 1918 having incomes
over $1,000, was 5.300.000. and that
their total income was over % billion
dollars Income tax returns. however.
showed only 2.90s,000 persons having
over 5000, and their total reported
income was less than II billion dol
lars. This discrepancy is due in part
to technical evasions and straight He
gal withholdings, but also in part to
the existence of tax-exempt income.
What this means in terms of the in
come tax is that the government re-
ceived In 1918 about half billion dol
lars less than 1t would have. II all
persons receiving $1,000 had paid their
full amount.

He gave an example IN folly which anybody

OF trying to build the body on foods which lack

Here again, ID a foundation of sand which
gives way when the test comes.
Many food that tastes good lacks honesty
Of nourishnent to equal its taste. Thus it tenpts
the appetite into mistakes that often are costly.
Grape Nuts is food which helps build bodily
endurance for lfe's stress and storm. The full
nourishnent of wheat and matted barley, together
with the vital mineral salts so necessary to bone
structure and reg blood corpuscles, with phos-
pilates for the brain, is retained in Grape-Nuts.
The long baking process by which Grape-Nuts is
made gives the food natural sweetness and an
unusual ease of digestibility and assimilation.
Served with cream milk, Grape-N Nuts is

Contribution Of Housewives.

The contribution of the 20,0O0.0O0
American housewives is not included
by the bureau In the national income
because they are not paid In money.
But the report points out that IL they
were paid ut the lowest possible figure
(the average recompense OF personal
and domestic service) their addition to
the total national income would be
about one-third. or is billions. On
that basis, the bureau gives the follow

ton of the housewives contribution
to the nationoal income since 1909:
