EVENING' PUBLIO LEDGER- PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JUNE 24, 1919 I
STANDARD F
t
CES
FOR FOOD
INDORSED
Mrs. Schoff, Mothers' Congress
Head, Says State or City
Should Regulate Costs
CURB MARKETS FAVORED
There should be a standard price for
foodstuffs go that the housewife would
not have to pay twenty centB a bunch
for beets ln ont ttctlon of the dty
and a rauob Mghcr price In another
section TM ,s the opinion o Mrs.
Frederick srh ff president of the Na
tional C n?r of Mothers, and with
many of" ub women of the city
much lnrnt n ooi problems.
ilier i too (treat a difference In
pr(ces m liffprent sections and suburbs
th r.tr ealcl Mrs. Schoff. "I
kuow it (his is partly due to demand
and p t, but 1 think the state or
Uty 'iod experts should set a standard
price for foodstuffs. And I think the
houewives should keep in touch viitb
this dailj record of prices so they will
ot pav more than the standard cost.
1 hao the greatest sympathy for
the farmer because I know how shard
it is for him to obtain help. I know
that mnn farms in New Jersey have
acre and aires of idle land this season
because of lack of labor. When food
Huff is Kane naturally we pay more
dear'v frr it
Approve Curb Markets
"1 gfcatly favor curb markets be
cause pey bring the farmer and the
consumer jjjrectly in contact and prices
can be"ltept down. I hope the city
will establish more markets. They have
to bo numerous and close to residence
sections before tliej can be very suc
cessful. Housewives haven't the time
usually to go miles to a market. But,
personaly, I think it Is far better to go
to the market, or een to the farm if
necessary, in order to get jour things
fresh and at the least cost. Marketing
by telephone is a bad habit.
"I km glad the Mayor has appointed
a coirmittee to investigate the food
situation thoroughly and to see how
prices can be cut down. I am very op
timistic over the question, for I thinkT
with, peace final! settled conditions
will gradualy better themselves."
Joseph S. Macl.atighlin, chairman of
the committee appointed by the Mayor,
and his associates have been given a
free hand to study the market problem
and iacgest remedies. Whether perman
ent . temporary markets are to be es
tablUhed will depend on their advice.
. Thcrkildson, seed expert ; T.
Oortia Starkey, president of the Bus
tletcn Vegetable Growers' Association;
, Geo-ge 0 Sale, real estate operator;
-B, S. Armstrong and E. T. .Butter -wortb,
commission merchants, 'are the
other members of the committee.
