How Do YOU Solve Problem of Increased Cost of Living?|
IWAT(H WASTE,
BUY WITH CARE,
Business Woman Compares At
lanta’s Prices With Those She
Was Accustomed to in France,
Mrs. Lollie Markham Pickett, who
was actively engaged for months In
lwar work in I'rante with the Ameri
can Red Cross and whp is one of
Atlanta’s feminine Business successes,
writes interestingly of how she is at
tempting to meet the situation of the
high cost of living in the management
of her tearoom.
“When asked what I was doing to
| help solve this vital problem of the
imgh cost of living,” she sald, “1 was
'm the throes of making a menu for
the next day, struggling to find some.
'thlng to tempt the appetities of the
patrons of the Green Tree, and to
’urrnngc the prices so that it would
not be a question whether they came
ihm'k the next day, or instead invested
in Coca-Cola stock.
“Things go by comparigon in this
world, so after a year in France,
where food prices were almost pro
hibitive, the prices here did not
seem #0 exorbitant. In our Red Cross
canteen the slaple articles were fur
nished from the government commis
sary, but we were obliged to buy
meats and vegetables in the I'rench
markets for the personnel,
“There were several Southern girls
in our canteen, so on Sundayvs we
indulged in extravagance, and had
ehicken for dinner, which cost quite
as much as a whole coopful would
have cost in North Georgia before
the war,
“This experience prepared me in a
way for tine conditions over here, 80
on assuming the management of my
tearoom, immediately on my return,
1 determined not to worry, believing
that things would get back to normal
in a reasonable time, and until that
time came to Juy carcfully, watch the
waste and increase the prices on my
menu in proportion to the increased
prices of foodstuff and seryice,
“I feel sure that those who take
their meals in restaurants would un
derstand better the necessity for
these increased prices on menus if
they were informed of the existing
prices. Take coffee, for example. 1
am paying just exactly double for the
same grade of coffee as a year ago.
There seems no logieal reason that
we can see why coffee should ad
vance,
“l believe on investigation that it'j
will be found that prices in Atlanta
are quite as moderate as any town
of its size and that many vulunb\a:
lessons will be learned from this com.
pulsory economy we are forced to
practice, made necessary by the tx-‘
isting high prices.” I

'MORE SCARED THAN |
~ HURT, SAYS AMOROUS
“We are more scared than hurt." 4
We are suffering from “agitators and
alarmists.” Everybody is blaming his
neighbor as the promoter of the high
cost of living,
The masses are not suffering for
food or raiment. We are all living
more extravagantly than we did 20
or 40 years ago, and a canvass or}
the individua! family will prove this
true. Legislation on prices will not
cure the supposed troubles. The
remedy for our (roubles rests with
the individual-—it's a home economic
problem. "
Let us be honest with ourselves
and put our own house in order and
the political problems and prices will
adjust themselves. We can help our
family cost of living by doing more
home producing of things we want
and need. /
The average family does little or no
sewing or Kknitting. They bake no
Lread. They darn no socks, they
wash no clothes, they chop no wond,
they milk no cows nor feed any
ehickens. All these today are prod
vets of others that we buy, and we
use the time we save from thia pro.
dueing in the shows and singing and
dancing and of course we need more
wages to meet the “high cost of lv
ing.”

BECOMES HUSBAND'S
PARTNER IN EARNING
Followeing is the experience of one of Atlanta’s charming young
mutrons who has made herself most delightfulty felt in musical circles
and whose business experience has been particularly succssful :
When 1 bhecame fully awake to the
realization that the income which my
liusband was receiving had parted
rompany with the cost of maintain
ing our home on the scale to which
we had been accustomed for a long
time, and that we were at a point
where our little savings of our ten
years of marvied life would have to
be sacrificed, 1 began to do some very
gerfous thinking. Here is the way
I reasoned out the matter:
Wages, the best barometer of liv
ing costs, had begun to rise on ac
count of the labor shortage resulting
from the unusual demand created by
the great war. But we were in the
position of the clarionettist where
a rich patron was glving to each
member of the band all the silver
dollars his instrument would hold.
My husband is m lawyer, and the
members of this profession were call
ol upon to a greater extent than any
other for gratuitous service in behalf
us the country, in addition to the fact
that on every ‘hand litigation was on
the decline and lawyers' lincomes
were very much diminished.
Clearly, something had to be done,
After thinking hard over the mat
ter and appealing to my husband for
a chance to do my bit In the interest
of our family, it was decided that T

Leading Simple Life. .

“How am I trying to solve the in
creased cost of living?” +
My watchword these days is “sim
plicity,” whether in dress or house
hold management. I do not feel jus
tified in getting a new suit or pair
of shoes and paying double or triple
the prices of a year ago. 1 shall wear
my last seasomn’s suit and winter
coat.
To pay $lB for a pair of shoes is
extravagance in the highest form. No
shoes are worth it. T shall wear low
shoes with spats, and be just as warm
as 1 would ‘be with a pair of those
“high” shoes. Y
I am not purchasing-one iota more
than I actually need. Ther® is a say -
ing in India t hat the man is cOnsid
ered the richest who has the fewest
possessions. T think if we in this‘
country could be impressed t& o
semething along the line of getting
only the necessities, especially during
these abnormal times when the most
unusual conditions exist, the higi”
cost of living would go “tobogganing.”
If every one of us would take “sim
plicity” as the keynote and lead the
simple life, and not be ashamed to
make use of last year’s garments, or
if need be, wear shoes that have been
mended, and omit from their menus
at home those articles of diet whici
have so noticeably soared in priee, a
great step toward reducing the cost of
living would be launched.
Find out which grocery stores and
meat markets charge the least ex«
horbitant prices and trade there, and
tell your neighbors about it.
It seems to me to be tifllely to sug
gest the calling of a mass meeting by
some of our most prominent women
to discuss the subject and pass reso
lutions endorsing the leading of the
simple life, especially during the reign
of the excessively high prices. It is a
foregone conclusion that if our prom
inent women will inaugurate the
move, all will follow,
It is a subject so vital and so all
absorbing that every woman in At
lanta would be gilad te attend such a
