 Mir. Grcenstein asked Niedzwie- ski how long he had lived in the United States and he replied thirty two years" Questioned as to whether he had been in business in New Britain, he claimed inability to understand, which provoked Mir.

 Through the interpreter, Niedz- wicski claimed that krause. wanted his permission 10 make liquor for the holidays end also for Niezwie- skis sons wedding, and he told him to go ahead if h. wanted to use the cellar. As to his conversation with Sergcants Feonoy and O'Mara, NicdZwieshi claimed he told them he bought liquor for 31.50 a quart when he wanted it. but he did not tell them he sold if He said Officer David Doty stopped the bakery truck on which he was working ono day and asked him if he was carry ing liquor, to which he replied that the truck was open to inspection at any time.

 A check on the average annual family consumption of the 43 articles by geographical section shows an interesting variance of food habits in different parts of the country.

Krausc at no time admitted that he sold the liquor, the sergeant said.

 Sergeant T. J. Fccncy testified that NiedzWieski told him he had 10 children and earncds $50 q week. which was not sufficient, so he sold liquor which Krause made, and charged $l.50 a quart.

SOME FOODS STILL
 RELATIVELY CHEAP
Eggs, Sugar, Lard, Rice Near
 1918 Price Levels

Washington, Dec. 12.-Frequently one hears the householder or house. wife muttering about the good old days when eggs were. "only 10 cents q dozen," talking as if eggs were a horrible example of the way the cost Of living has gone up since the war.
 Fact is, eggs are about the cheap est thing anyone can buy for a meal, if you compare present prices with pre-war prices. Eggs last year cost less than 35 per cent more than the eggs of 1913 cost in 1913, whereas nearly all the other commoner ar ticles of food showed an increase of from more than 50 per cent up to nearly 100 per cent. The only foods Of importance which haven't gone up higher in proportion than eggs arc sugar, lard and rice.
New Britain herald., 1929-12-12

A Classified Ad in the Herald is well worth while.
New Britain herald., 1929-12-12

Thus, anyone who lives on diet of eggs can make his money go fur ther as compared with pre-war prices than by any other method, insofar as food is concerncd-un- less, of course, one cares to live on rice, which is a much better bar gain. Here is list showing the percentage of increases of 1928 food prices over 1913 prices:
 Ham 9S per cent, round steak SS, sirloin steak SS, rib roast v, corn meal v, hens 76, chuck roast 74, cheese, A, pork chops 6G. coffee G1, flour 64, bacon G3, bread 62.5, milk co, potatoes 50, plate beef 57, butter 47.o, tea 4, eggs 34.5, sugar p, lard IS and rice l5 - emitting most ot the decimal points.
 If anyone doesn't believe these figures he can ask the L. s. Bureau oi Labor Statistics. which went to a great deal of trouble in compiling them.
New Britain herald., 1929-12-12

This bureau has figured it out that food was a little cheaper in 1900 than in 1890. but that after that It went up gradually fror
 year to year until in 1913 it was nearly 50 per cent higher than at the dawn of the century. If ones memory is any good there was a lot of talk in the 1912 presidential campaign about the high cost of living" but the election of a Demo- crat didn't do any good because food prices went right on rising,
 In 1920 retail food prices were twice the prices of 1915, almost eX- actly. No doubt many persons still blame the Democrats for that, but as a matter of fact it was the war.
 By deXtrous work with index numbers the bureau statisti; ians now decide that food in 1928 cost only 75 or so per cent as much as it did n 1920. It will be re
