Fisher with jar of the Southern

Salve, which was just then being in.
troduced in Harrisburg, and requested
that he give this preparation q thor

Il must say that our baby had
such a cold on her chest and in her
throat that she could hardly talk,
and we could not get her to take
anything internally. After we used
Vick's VapoRub Salve on her breast
and throat at night before going
to bed she was entirely relieved"

70 do what we can 10 hold prices down
within the reach Of the average family.
But when we investigate we ind that In
a large measure the high prices are due
TO natural causes which no dictator
could change. For Instance, inadequate
transportation facilities play consid-
cradle part in these war prices. since we
have not the proper means OF distribution.
A food dictator cannot Increase railroad
facilities.
During the recent hearings on the rev.
enue bill 7 learned something on this dues-
tion which rather surprised me. II seems
that the railroads require billion dollars
n year for betterments, in order 20 keep
pace with the demand made upon them
and be able 10 furnish the transporta-
tion the country needs For several years
past the railroads have been unable to
expend more than 100000, 900 year IN
betterments. which accounts for the fact
that they have not kept up with the
progress made by the industries, and ex-
plains why In this crisis they are unable
to meet the demands upon them.
This IL n condition which no food diota-
tor, no matter how broad may be his
powers, can cure. And there are other
features that are Just as striking. 7 can
not rid myself Of the fear that Congress
Ia likely 10 go too far In its real for
amsIIoratlBR the conditions that have
arisen.

Per Cent Profit, Says Federal
Trade Commission
WASHINGTON. June 20.

Attempts Of grocers to charge war prices
on canned goods now and next winter were
exposed today by an announcement of the
Federal Trade Commission showing costs
to the dealers and what the public should
be able to purchase for. Retailers now are
making profts Of nearly 100 per cent on
J-nned goods, the commission declares
The announcement says that an inVestiga-
IN has shown that retailers are paying
Jetween seven and a half and nine and
half cents a can for corn and peas and sell.
ing them At fifteen and twenty cents per
can. Retailers are paying about ten and a
Ealf cents per can for large sizes of toma.
toes and charging twenty cents per can for
them. The commission further states that
being sold 10 of last seasons pack and was
purchased by the dealers at much lower
wholesale rates.

forestall speculative prices on canned goods
next fall and winter the commission has
received reports from 1000 canning fac
tories from Maine to Alaska showing prices
at which Gamers are contracting to sell
goods to dealers this year.
The commission says that II now is
equipped with sufficient information so that
II dealers next fall and winter attempt 10
charge eXorbitant prices and blame them
on increased costs the Government will be
able to show just what the difference be-
tween cost and selling price is.

said They have elected their own COVER
nors. have provided for and regulated
management Of local affairs without aid or
interference in any way from king, dictator

and other laws passed during this period
may be traced development Of a truly free
people"

to make it's own laws will sooner or later
be compelled to fight for the maintenance
OF the conqueror's right to make its laws"

These things we're made clear today by

they can best be spared.
our primary duty in the matter Of
foodstuffs and like necessaries is to see
TO II that the peoples associated with us
in the war get as generous proportion
as possible Of our surplus, but II will also
be our wish and purpose to supply the
neutral nations whose peoples depend
upon us for such supplies as nearly in
proportion to their need as the amount
TO be divided permits.
The free play of trade will be "intelli-
gently and systematically directed" he
said.

a stray breeze that had managed TO find
It's way into Phtladelphias foreign quar-
ter stirred the curtains Of a room in tho
night school at Sixth and Fairmount ave-
nue.,
One gas jet fickered fitfully and threw
dim light across the desks where the class
In citizenship and civil law bent It's collect
i've head above their books and chanted
softly;
"Ameree-ca is our coun-t-rrrry."
Now, Marie" the American teachers
crisp voice interrupted. will you read the
entire page?"
Marie who is Polish, with a wistful kind
OF beauty and a shy voice, began:
washington is the capital Of America
The President lives in Washington"
What else is in Washington" asks the
teacher.
Jakey, who is now a Russian, but hopes
soon to be an American, betrayed himself
as true son of Abraham an he raised his
hand and announced eagerly.
There iss the Treasury where iss the
money!"
Yes smiles the teacher encouragingly
but something even more important, John?"
Inc mousse where they make the law"
ventures John. from Austria
That is right" And then the teacher ex
plains very carefully who makes tho laws
ana how the people have n hand in the
making, too, And Marie, and Jakey, and
Johh ana dozen other aliens" listen very
intently, and are one step further on the
road TO being good citizens themselves
AGES OF PUPILS
The most pathetic and yet the most sig
nihcant fact about these night schools is
the ages Of the scholars
For Marie is married, and Sophie gave
her baby a good wash around" and nut
her safe in her crib" before she came. John
works in an ammunition plant Three days
and three nights steady this week" he ex-
planned sadly "and so l do not get the les
son on the State"
Fritz Is Hung arian, who cannot read or
write his own language, but is making rapid
strides in English, and Isaac has been in
siberia and has stamped on his face a
memory that even citizenship in the United
states Will not erase. He demands books,
and more books by your great men," he
tells the teacher, and gloats over Shakes
peare ana Dickens.
They have an amazing system in these
night schools They call II correlatlng. In
simpler terms 1t means that IL Jakey is
answering a question about State laws and
he mentions New Jersey, the teacher will
probably ask the class where New Jersey
is, what is its capital, a few of it's prod.
ucts and manufactures winding up with
some important dates in New Jerseys his.
tory.
And by this simple, natural almost cas-
ual method wonderfully successful results
are produced.
In this same class they are learning to
write letters.
