ulations for. cold storage houses was
put into force by the food admins
tration Nov. 1, when distribution OF
the most important food stuffs went
under license. Poultry, eggs, butter
and fresh or frozen fish, stored thir-
ty days or more, can not be sold as
fresh and will not be permitted TO
go on sale unless marked with a
placard, Gold storage goods"
All fresh meat products, fresh fish,
game poultry, eggs and butter must
be marked with the date on which
they are placed il storage and their
date of release.
No warehouse will be permitted to
store any foods tainted or diseased.
To check speculation the food adj
|ministration will limit loans and adj
vances by storage warehouse men to
their patrons. Warehouses will be
classified as public or private, and
those storing goods on their own ac-
count as we'll as for the public also
will be required to take out dealers
license.
All warehouses will be required to
file schedules of their rates with the
food administration.
THE purpose of the regulations, :"
1T was said sis to strengthen the legi-
innate warehouse men by bringing
the obligations of all storage firms
out into the open and to prevent
those who patronize the warehouses
from taking advantage of opportuni-
ties for speculation. 1t is not believ-
ed that the practices aimed at are
general but have been INDUCED in
by the few who have abused the
SYSTEM
Preliminary search of storage
warehouses has failed thus far TO
disclose food boarding to any appre-
ciable extent. The investigation, how
ever, by the secret service and the

is IOWA MOST LOYAL STATE?

A man who has been in many parts
of the country, in connection with ma
tional duties, stated the other day
that he believed that Iowa was, per-
haps, the most loyal of all the states.
He knew of none other in which the
people were more generally doing
their bit for the government and no
state in which fewer disturbances had
been made by disloyal words or
deeds.
We believe that this is placing
Iowa about right among the states.
The state has passed the mark in ev-
cry contribution to the war, whether
of men or of materials.
Among other things Iowa is the
state that has the city that heads the
list in volunteer enlistments. In the
office of the secretary of war, near the
desk of Secretary Baker, there hangs
list OF cities and counties that were
not called upon in the first draft and
the name Of Cedar Rapids, an Iowa
city, heads all the others.
We have had a few little NANTES
tations of disloyalty. at Lowden, at
Davenport, but when sifted down they
have amounted to little more than
the frothings of a few ignorant OF
misled men, and the man Wallace
who befouled Davenport came from
without the state. Iowa has not de-
veloped a single leader or spokesman
1t is record of which we can be
proud,
And let us not only keep this rec
ord untarnished, but let us add to its
effulgence. And we can do this by
showing our interest in the new gov
ernmeat bonds. The taking OF TN 81
bonds is also a test of our patriotism
as much as the enlisting OF our men

Washington, Nov 5.-The either
soldiery of Iowa, in training at Camr
Dodge, Des Moines, will remain il
camp until spring before they are
sent aboard transports for the Jour.
ney to France.
This statement was made by one
Of the highest war department Off
Gals in REPUTATION of published state
ments that the selective army would
be on the way to France before Feb.
| 1.
Two factors will prevent the en-
barkation of the national army men
before spring. First, and most impor-
tant, is the lack of shipping. Sec
ondly there is the policy of the war
department to give the men sixteen
weeks intensive training, according
to pre-arranged schedule, before
sending them to France for further
training back of the lines. Inasmuch
as the full divisions will not be or
ganized until the last drafted men
reach camp next month and the six
teenth-week period dates from the
time of completing the divisional or
ga1ization, the training period will
not end until some time in March.
The present plan is to begin move
ment of the draft army then.
There are 100000 national guard
troops which are scheduled to go to
France in advance of the drafted
men. Included in this number are
thousands of drafted men transferred
from contonments to camps of their
state troops il the south. But the ma
tional guard had the advantage of a
skeleton organization of trained men
and all war department plans have
been made with the idea in mind OF
sending these troops first to France.
To move this force to France be-
fore spring would mean troop
movement of 100000 men month,
and the simultaneous shipment of
enough supplies to equip every man
sent for six months. Moving this ma
tional guard force, in addition to the
hundreds of thousands of regulars,
engineers, aviators, medical forces
and other troops will, officials point
out, strain the shipping facilities of
the country to the utmost.
Some drafted men will be sent to
France from time to time. Men are
now being selected to be assigned to
special organizations with General
Pershing's forces. Others are being
selected for quartermaster duty and
these men will go over at once. But
the bulk of the men will be held in
camp until spring, according to pres
ent plans.

WILL CUT RETAIL PROFITS.
Government Assumes Complete Con.
troll Over Business in America.

Washington, Nov 5.-Profteering
by retail dealers in foodstuffs will be
made impossible after Nov. /. the
food administration announced last
night, under a plan to cut off supplies
to those not satisfied with reasona-
bic margins. Manufacturers, whole
salers and other handlers of foods,
whose businesses will go under IL
cense, will not be permitted to sell to
distributors who seek undue profits.
This is one of the most sweeping
safeguards" the announcement said,
against high prices which will be in
IcorpOrated in the licensing system
for which complete rules and regula-
lions will be made known within a
few days"
This plan, food administration of
ficials believe, will give this govern
ment entire control of retail prices.
Wholesalers and others who continue
to sell to retailers after they are for
hidden to do SO by the food admins
tration will be denied the right to
sell goods under license.
Authority for extending control to
the retailer is cited in the announce
ment, as follows:
"The small retailers of food of
whom there are several hundred
thousand in the country while exempt
from the licensing provisions, are
nevertheless subject to other provi-
sions of the food control act. Every
retailer, as we'll as every other
handler of food, is forbidden under
the law to make any unreasonable
charge, to hoard, to monopolize
waste or destroy food or to conspire
with any one to restrict the produc-
ton. distribution or supply, or ex-
act excessive prices on any necessi-
ties.
There are no penalties provided
but the food administration hope:
l
supplies to violators of the law viii
be of some effect, for the retailer will
find himself unable to buy goods
from any wholesaler or manufactur
er.
Federal food administrators in al
the states will be directed to keep I
watch for yiolators and send to TIT
food administration the names of re
tailers asking the excessive prices.
"The food administration" the an
nouncement says, docs not intend I
disturb any legitimate operation
and will initiate measures onl
against hardened and persistent vic
lators OF the law. 1t takes the posi-
ton that the great majority of foo

good business principles and sell to
the consumer at the lowest possible
prices.
Such dealers will be in fact pro-
tected from illegitimate competition.
Those few who persist in abusing
their opportunities and continue to
take advantage Of the emergency
caused by the war will receive atten-
ton"

In their reach as modern and up-to-
date hospital facilities and service as
is furnished by the government in
any part of the United States.
The buildings-one story high and
with long sweeping porches-have

mental or injury can be properly
treated.

The hospital now has a canacitv
or 900 beds. This however, prob
ably will be enlarged with the COM
Ing of more men to the camp and
gradually increased until the maxi
mum capacity of 1 500 beds is reach
ed. Since the opening of the training
camp there have not been to exceed
200 cases il the hospital at any one
time.
The manner in which physicians
from all parts of the country have
answered the call of the medical de-
partment of the army for the servi-
ces or expert men in every line of
the medical profession, has been ex-
ceedingly gratifying.
This has been due, it is said. to
the plans which have been worked
out for specializing in various bran
ches of the work. An eye, ear, nose,
AID throat specialist under the pres
ent system, is assigned within the
medical corps tolthis branch of the
work. An orthopeadic surgeon is re-
CURED, generally, only to this spe-
cial line of work. The surgical work
is divided into special branches, such
as surgery of the head or other parts
of the body, making it possible for a
physician from private life entering
medical corps to continue along the
, same line of work as that he follow
ed while in private practice.
X This arrangement has done much
toward encouraging physicians to
enter the medical corps.
