FEDERAL TRADE
 COMPASSION HAS
 AIDED BUSINESS
Report Shows Result Ac complished by National
 Body in Last Year.

Washington, Dec 9.-The country's business men have given hearty CO., operation to the federal trade commits sion in it's efforts to maintain proper standards of commercial morality in American business, according to the annual report of the commission made public today.
 Development of the commissions policy has had for it's first purpose, the report declares, promotion of the best business efficiency. Its aim has been "to understand and make allow ance for the difficulty of the problem, to see both sides of every case, to pro- tect men in the furtherance of legiti- mate self-interest by all reasonable and normal methods, and at the same time to keep the channels of compe- tition free and open to all, so that man with small capital may engage in business in competition with pow erful rivals, assured that he may op- crate his business free from harass- ment and intimidation and may be giv- en fair opportunity to work out his business problems with such industry, efficiency and intelligence as he may possess"
 The report lays stress on the work of the commission in preventing un- fair competition. Since it's creation
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1916-12-10

and up to the end of the fiscal year the commission has considered 246 appI- cations for the issuance of complaints against corporations and firms ac- cused of unfair practices. Of these, 107 have been disposed of in various ways. Some concerns were ordered to discontinue the tactics complained of, others voluntarily agreed to cease un- buslnesslke metho' and in some cases no law viola .ons were found The charges covered many kinds of law violations.
 l! The trade commissions work has in- cluded also economic and special in- vestigaticns. What the commission considcrs it's most important economic inquiry was into the subject of co-op- eration in export trade. This report was issued during the summer and recommended to congress that Amer lcan manufacturers be permitted to form export combinations. A bill pro- viding for that, having the endorse ment of the administration, is now pending in congress.
 One investigation had to do with uniform accounting methods. That showed, according to the commission, a large percentage of the country's manufacturers and merchants had slight knowledge of their costs of pro- duction or selling expense. An in vestigation of trade possibilities and conditions in each of the country's industries, the report says, developed information that will prove invaluable to producers and persons contemplat- ing investments.
 The commission investigated the high price of gasoline, started inquir- ies into the print paper situation and the bituminous and anthracite coal in- dustsries, continued it's investigation of retail price maintenance and aided in disposing of the Mexican sisal crop. l Activities in connection with en- forcement of the Sherman act includ- ed an Investigation to determine the relations existing between various companies into which the Standard Oil | company was dissolved and prepara- tion of decree in the Corn Products Refining company case referred to it 1 by the federal courts.
 An urgent appeal is made to con- gress for larger appropriation for carrying on the work of the commits sion, which the report declares, has grown so heavy the present force of empolyes can not handle it.

Dr.. W. ". Shoemaker
Formerly Resident Of
Mobile, Alabama
SAYS FERRALINE IS THE
ONLY REMEDY THAT EVER
BENEFITED HIS WIFE
RECOMMENDS 1T TO HIS
PATIENTS.

DR.. w. w. Shoemaker, physi-
clan and surgeon of Handley,
Texas, was formerly a resident
of this locality, practicing for
years in Washington county, Ala.
He is we'll known by the physi-
clans of Mobile and stands high
in his profession.
''Ferraline, said DR.. Shoe
maker to a representative of the
Frankville Medicine company.
Il hold very highly as a remedy
to be used IN the treatment of
catarrhal condition of the stom-
ach and bowels. In my opinion.
it is unsurpassed as a remedy for
controlling hemorrhage from
whatsoever source. Its healing
powers are very great"
"Ferraline is the only remedy
that | have ever found that gave
my wife permanent relief from
the form of indigestion from
which she suffered for a number
of years. Through it's use she
has completely regained her
health.
1T is a good tonic, one that
may be easily assimulated by a
delicate stomach, and recon-
structive that will build up the
system in a natural manner, and
do it easily and quickly. 1t is a
natural regulator, acts upon the
kidneys and gives strength to the
body. It does not contain alco.
hol or other habit forming drugs.
and can only be beneficial in its
use. ("
II am using Ferraline in my
practice dai Y, and with splendid
results. 1t will quickly relieve
the soreness of the stomach and
bowels due to improper digestion.
prevent the forming of gas, and
gives the system red blood cor
puscles.
I'm serious cases." continued
DIR. Shoemaker, where the pa
tient can afford it, the recognized
health resorts Of the country are
recommended, as these minerals
are in their natural state and
more easily assimilated than any
manufactured preparation. The
analysis of Ferraline brings it in
the class of these mineral waters
in a concentrated form, there
fore results should be obtained in
in a much shorter time than from
lengthy visit to a health resort. F"
