Ml?! Oravos said that the retail grocer Is a pack horse and burder bearer who holds an honorable position among men and is worthy of the consumers kind consideration. "The profits of the grocer are not greater than they were several years ago," declared Miss Graves, "but ba must have larger capital, a more complete store, mure Helpers, a more complex de livery system with quicker servicethe consumer must pay for these. "The high cost of living Is due In pert to women being freed from kitchen drudg ery. lnRtcsd of putting up their own Jellies, jstns snd pickle, they buy these foods, prepared In factories. We, the consumer", have ourselves to blame In that what were luxuries In our grand mother' time sre now considered neces sities. The combination! of capital and its crlmlnsl misuse must shoulder some of the blame. The pure food law Is a very intent rsue of the hlfrh cost of living."
