Excerpt from The Cost of Food: A Study in Dietaries IN reply to the many questions asked, the author wishes to state here that because the cost of the accus tomed food of the average family has increased since the book was written, and because the price of board in restaurant and boarding-house has increased thirty per cent or more, it does not follow that all food has so risen in value. F tom the great variety and abundance of food materials ofiered to-day the purchaser may choose sufficient and nourishing food, which need not cost more than the prices given here. But it may not be just those materials to which the palate has been accustomed. Certain foods have gone out of fashion, corn meal is used very little, although in digestibility and palatability it out ranks most of the prepared cereals sold for ten times as much per pound.
