The HIGH COST of LIVING Lowered (From the Bulletin of the United States Grain Corporation.) 42 Broadway, New York For Immediate Release August 11, 1919. Revival of the American housewife's war-time conscience in the Administration of the family table, and the substitution of the wholesome loaf of bread for higher priced foods such as meats, eggs and butter, as a means of reducing the high cost of living were advocated today by Julius H. Barnes, United States Wheat Director, in an interview, during which he commented on the Government crop report for the month of July. The American housewife can work out substantial relief in a natural way. The flour consumption of America feU from its normal of 233 pounds per capita to 171 pounds during the last year. This proves conclusively that bread, which is cheap and wholesome, was displaced in the diet by higher priced foods. 235 pounds of flour per capita would furnish from thirty to thirty five per cent of the necessary food values, and this return to normal flour consumption with the consequent saving of higher-priced foods would work out a national saving, ' for the year, of one billion dollars in the national food bill "More than that, the reduction of strain on the higher priced foods such as meats, eggs and butter, would, by that very reduction of demand, probably. secure a lowering of the price level in those foods. Twelve million housewives administered their tables during war-times with a war conscience. The same twelve million housewives today would greatly lighten the strain of living conditions by a similar development of social conscience."
