the high cost of living, tonight at 8
o'clock in the Central Library, three
Important discussions wil take place.
They will follow the committees' re
ports on cold storage, public markets
and a public purchasing agent.
At the last meeting of the league
committees were appointed to make
detailed investigations of these three
things. On those committees were:
Cold storage. Mrs. J. D. Spencer, Mrs.
M. A. Murphy, Mrs. Anna Ewell, Mrs.
Freeman and Mrs. Armstrong: purchas
ing agent. Mrs. M. L. T. Hidden, Mrs.
A. C. Newill and Mrs. A. S. Behr;

Haines.
Markets and Stores Compared.
The three committees have asso
ciated with them officers of various
parent-teacher organizations through
out the city, and their investigations
have been exhaustive. They have com
pared the prices in a number of stores
and have purchased the same value of
other commodities and compared them
in weight to what they could buy at
public markets.
They are out to discover the most
reasonable place to buy foodstuffs, and
when the reports of the committees
are acted on it is expected that com
petition will be even keener between
those stands in the public market and
the dealer who rents a store in which
to sell his foodstuffs.

preparing menus that will probably be
published the day arter Christmas.
Such menus will contain what the 18-a-week

There has been so much detail con
nected with the preparation of menus
that they have not been ready to make
publlo as soon as was expected.
Miss Lilian Tingle will have the last
word in the preparation of the menus,
and she will instruct teachers in .the
publlo schools to co-operate in demon
strating the meals as laid out in the
menus.
Along with the publication of the
menus there will probably be held spe
cial sales by dealers ot the staples
appearing upon each particular menu
