WE CHANGE OUR HABITS: — Do you realize that you are ealln; more than three times as much ic< cream today as you ate three year, ago? Why are you refusing the fourth slice of bread at your eveninc meal? Mr Average Man. you at< one-fourth again as much bread tn 1919 as now, and that was the year everybody had money to spend. The great war upset a lot o things; and it has certainly upset our tastes. We are eating differently, dressing differently, in fact II v Ing differently in every way. Even the last three years have ushered in some things more radical in our modes of living than bobbed hair and Eskimo pie.
