The distribution of the products bought is indicated in Table III. 

 Food constitutes 86 per cent of the total and fuel 14 per cent. The 

 item fuel includes coal^ wood, and oil, oil being used for both fuel 

 and lighting purposes. The big item of the products bought is food. 

 The fact that the quantity bought per person varies from $16 to $66 

 in the different areas would seem to indicate that a material saving 

 could be made in this group of products bought. In the New Jersey 

 area, where the average value of food bought per person is relatively 

 high, this quantity varies from $24 to $120 in a group of families of 

 the same size, showing that a material saving could be made should 

 necessity demand it. The fuel bought is not such a variable quan- 

 tity within the same area.
