BAD NEWS FOR BRIDES, FOOD HIKED Economical Wife’s Choice Is Limited to Eggs and Cheese, It Seems. The month ending May 8 emphatically was not one for sweet young brides to begin housekeeping. Each time a bride spoiled a pork chop or a cake, if she had only known it, she had a blank spot on her budget for food that was higher than the month before. Fluctuating and entirely faithless, the cost of living, jumped up 0.9

per cent in the food line inlndianapolis. This time last year, depression brides were buying foods 20.5 per cent cheaper. Items which look prosaic in the printed word, but luscious on the platter, such as sirloin steak, round steak, plate beef and rib roast rose more than any other commodity, as if anticipating the Chicago fire. The food prices have risen insidiously, the United States bureau of statistics shows. By the very one-hundredths of per cents, individual items such as corn flakes and lamb have revolted against the low prices placed on them. Such hard and fast conservatives as cheese and eggs have shown no inclination to better their lot, but have drifted back a few slight notches in price. Such being the situation, it would seem that a cheese omelet would be about the most suitable dish for the bride to try for her first experiment, that is if she aspires to a record for economy.
