COSTOF PRODUCING
PRINT PAPER LESS
FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
COMPLETES INVESTIGATIONS
WILL CONDUCT HEARINGS
PUBLISHERS NOW PAYING 81
Board Declares Price Received by Do
mestic Manufacturers Did Not Ad-
vance in Anything Like the
Current Market Prices.

Washington, Nov. 6.-In a statement
announcing the virtual completion of
it's investigation of news print paper
prices, the Federal Trade commission
declares that during the first half of
this year, when prices already were
soaring to unprecedented prices, the
average cost Of producing news print
paper in domestic mills was less than
S1.65 per hundred pounds. or below
the average cost in the past three
years.
The commission announces that be-
fore issuing its report public hearings
will be conducted and manufacturers.
publishers and others interested given
an opportunity to appear.
Contracts About to Expire.
Certain facts developed by the in
quiry are made public now because
most of the publishers contracts for
paper are about to expire. Contract
prices this year rose from less than
81 per hundred to SO and $3.50, and on
current market purchases the publish
ers have paid 81 or more for paper
b'u6hh III liIS way pElOE 10 jan
uary | for between 81 and 50.
The statement follows:
The price advance in news print
paper, which occasioned this investiga-
ton began early in 1916 and has con-
tinued down to the present. Most
news print paper, probably about 80
per cent, Is sold on contracts for pe-
RODS of a year or more. Before the
price began to advance contract
prices for news print paper were gen
orally less than 81 per hundred pounds
I. o. b. mill. During the first half Of
1916 contract prices for large guam
titles went as high as So per hundred
pounds. and since July J. 1915. have
run as high as $3.50. Most of the con-
tracts now in operation will expire
within three or four months.
On current market purchases news
paper publishers have been paying
manufacturers and jobbers very much
higher prices. Before January, 1916.
current market prices ranged gener-
ally between 81 and So per hundred
pounds, delivered. depending on guam
tty, freight and circumstances, but
since that time they have gone up as
high as Sc or 81 per hundred pounds
for a considerable volume of business
and even higher in exceptional in
stances.
The average price received by do
mestic manufacturers of news print
paper did not advance in anything like
the degree that current market prices
advanced. because most of the paper
was sold under contracts previously
made. On the average. the actual net
receipts of domestic manufacturers for
news print paper were less than 81
per hundred pounds during the first
half OF 1916.

MINERALS IN FOOD
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY FOR
PRESERVATION OF HEALTH.
Physical Ailments Sure to Result
When They Are Lacking-Serve
Fruit, Vegetables, Milk and
Eggs Literally.

Prepared by Laura Breeze of the De-
partment of Farmers Institutes of the
University Of Wisconsin.
Some of the physical ailments result
Ing from mineral starvation are rick
cts, scurvy, pellagra and anemia. An
anemic person has weakened vitality
and resisting power, and is, therefore,
prey to colds, grippe and fevers.
The foods rich in minerals are vege-
tables and fruits, breads and cereals
made from whole grains, eggs, milk
and the natural rice. In the milling of
the white fiOurs, cornmeal, some oat-
meal and most cereals, the parts of the
grains containing the greatest amount
of mineral substance are eliminated,
consequently their value as sources Of
mineral foods Is reduced.
The housewife, however, can always
supply her table with fruit, vegetables,
milk and eggs. There are such numers
Gus ways of serving these foods that
their appearance on the table should
never become mOnOtOnOuS.
The following recipe offers sugges1
tons for an attractive way of serving
cabbage, the mineral content of which
Is very high:
Imperial Cabbage.-One medium
sized head of cabbage; two carrots,
pared; two potatoes, pared; one cup
full of cooked meat or chicken Cor more,
If desireO: two teaspoonfuls of salt,
one small onion, one-fourth cupful but

Remove decayed leaves of the cab.
bage; form basket of the head by re-
moving the center and allowing two
layers of the outside leaves to remain
attached to the core. Crisp the cab
bage by allowing it to stand in cold
water. Drain well.
Put the cabbage removed from the
center, the carrots, potatoes, onion
and meat through the food grinder, add
butter and seasoning. Mix all we'll,
and fill the cabbage with the mixture
Tie the leaves in place over the
stuffihg with a clean string, and place
the cabbage in a tightly covered bak-
ing dish and bake about one hour.
There will be no need of adding water,
as there is sufficient moisture in the
vegetables to steam them.
