WASHINGTON. D. c., Nov.
i3.-prices Of all kinds Of food
stuffs advanced more rapidly
during tho past month than
during any similar period In
tho memory Of this generation.
with the exception OF the
Letter and Hutchinson corners.
Wheat advanced from si.56
on October to $50 on oeto-
Der 30, or 20 per cent while
flour advanced from an aver
age OF $40 20 $3.50. or 10 per
cent. Bread prices advanced
irreaulariy all over the country.
and In many cities exceeded d.
the advance In the price OF
flour, even when comparison 10
made with normal prices. In
some cities, by a combination
reducing the size Of the loaf
and Increasing the price. the
actual cost per pound TO the
consumer was raised 65 per
cent.
As nearly rs can be determined
the extent TO which bread prices
have been raised In different cities
was determined by the strength OF
the local bakers association. as
compared with the aggressiveness
and vigilance OF the housewives.
For the fundamental cause OF tho
price increases We must 90 back 10
the worlds crop shortage. There IL
no question about the reality Of the
shortage Of every important crop
tho only question Is WHETHER
THE SHORTAGE is GREAT
ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY THE Pile
NOMENAL PRICE INCREASE.
Wheat is the worlds great
food. and It's price is fixed, not
by the supply In any one eoun-
try. but by the WORLDS sup
ply.
The most reliable estimate. that
Of the International Institute OF AZ
riculture. places the ZIG world 3
supply OF wheat at 20 per cent be
low the enormous harvest OF 1915
and 7 per cent below normal.
II this estimate is correct, and
there is every reason TO accept II
in preference to the inspired press
statements OF speculation. II seems
unauestionable that wheat and
flour prices are far above the JUS
tifiable level.
There are other considerations
that give great weight 10 this
opinion.
In the first place. in every Euro
pean country, the entire business
OF wheat handling has been taken
over as government monopoly.
This means great economy in it
distribution and consequently a
saving in consumption.
Second, on October IL. Broom
hall. the worlds great wheat au-
thority. reported that the United
Kingdoms supplies OF native and
foreign wheat afloat and ashore
were sufficient TO last seven
months at the present rate of con
sumption. or IL months at a re-
duced rate.
Third. the enormous losses OF
men AT the front must have had an
appreciable effect on the bread
consumption of the allied nations.
Finally, the campaign for strict
economy which has been under way
in all European nations. has I'M
questionably eliminated a large
part of the waste, which in times
of peace was estimated at 10 per
cent of the entire consumption.
Equally significant is the fact that

DENTIST
PYORRHEA SPECIALIST
Something You
Should Know

The day has come when
people demand something
better than the old method of
Painful Dentistry. There are
improvements in every other
line, and IL stands to reason
that We should improve In
Dentistry as well. so as to
keep pace with the times
with the great advances that
are being made. Yet, In
spite OF all that can be done
10 preserve the teeth. II
sometimes happens that they
reach a state of decay that
makes their removal a neces-
sity.
Neglect OF the ordinary
rules OF hygiene frequently
lead TO such a state of impair
ment of the tooth that its ex-
traction is necessary.
When this is the case, there
should be no delay. as the
presence of a decaying tooth
is a constant menace to
health. But the dread of pain
has kept thousands away from
the Dentists Office week aft
er week and month after
month until the whole system
has suffered irreparably in
consequence. The use OF
chloroform and similar anes-
thetics came into practice
many years ago and miti-
gated TO some extent the tor
lures of the dentists forceps.
but this was found to be a
dangerous expedient. and the
old dread of visiting the den.
fist remained and remains to
this day In the minds OF
many. But there is no long
er any reason for II. DIR.
Austin has found a means OF
rendering the operation of ex.
tracing teeth as painless as
the removal OF n shoe from
the foot. and he does IL with
out the slightest danger to

DIR. FUCKER is
BELIEVER IN
PUBLICITY

That medical students should be
educated in publicity work along
with their technical instruction. is
the theory OF Assistant Surgeon Gen.
eral W. c. Rucker of the United
States public health service. He
says publicity ia sanitary and ny
gienic matters IS absolutely neces-
sary for the successful education OF
the general public.

Industry Has Improved

One of the most comprehensive
displays in the health parade, Fri
day afternoon, was made by the Cor.
don'Pagel Co., breadmakers.
II was driven home to all who
looked, the advance that has been
made along sanitary lines in recent
years in providing pure food In good
bread.
One large truck showed the meth.
DDS which obtained not so many
years ago in bakeries. and a second
truck carried the new machinery
and was an object lesson in the non.
contact OF human hands with dough
mixture and the baked product. The
public was shown how machinery
had taken the place OF the baker
man." how the ingredients In a
batch" for bread dough are put to-
gether; now the dough is kneaded
and made into loaves; how II IL
baked: no wit Is taken from the
ovens 10 be cooled. then wrapped in

influences. The exhibition OF the
modern manner OF making bread
was followed by 80 trucks showing
the method OF disposing OF II, from
the big depot delivery motor truck &c
the wagons that deliver the loaves
to groceries. hotels and retailers.
An interesting part of the exhibit
was an ancient bread peddlina
wagon.
The whole exhibition attracted

an adequate idea Of the methods

MILLS PRODUCE
TOO HEAVILY
Conditions In the Lumber In.
dustry Are Far From
Promising

CHICAGO, Ill, June 16.-The con-
ditions in the lumber industry are
far from promising in spite Of the
volume OF big recent orders. the
mills OF the country have been pro-
ducing az TOO heavy rate, and I'M
less there Is a change, the statistics
indicate that there may be reason
10 fear a return Of the depression
which marked 1913 and 1914. The
chart prepared each month by the
National Lumber Manufacturers as
ISOLATION indicates that the volume
OF production has passed the volume
Of shipments and orders. and that
production is increasing while ship
ments ale decree sing.
This condition, how ever, is being
recognized IN some sections OF the
country by the manufacturers. On
failing production, by shortening the
hours Of operation OF their mills
materially Some OF the smaller
mills have not thought such a
course necessary. but the larger
producers are realizing that the
curtailing of production is an eco
nomic necessity OF the industry.
The southern pine manufacturers
are also in many instances begin
ming To curtail production. Such
curtailment is in no way general, but
is rather a sporadic realization OF
the need CT preventing overproduc-
ton TO an extent that might serious
" affect general business in the in.
dustry.
This condition follows a period
OF big orders, which usually pre-
cedes the summer inactivity in
building.
