But. even so, we are not pay ng so
much for most foodstuffs «.* In Amer

(which Is still rationed, though the al
lowance Ims been increased t<* two
ounces instead of three-fourths ounce
a person h week), milk and cheese.
These are higher than In America. The
food cootroller predicts that during the
winter we shall have periods when
there will be. if not au actual famine
of these essential foods, certainly a
shortage. This will, of course, be felt
most severely by the poor and the
people with small fixed Incomes.
Eggs 12 Cents Each.
In the cheap restaurants where office
people go for lunch you can get a plain
boiled eg“ or |M*ached egg for 12 cents,
oue portion of fried potatoes for 8

Fruit is now very much more plen

are so cheap that they constitute n
