HERBERT c. HOOVER SEES
|. NO NEED OF FOOD PANIC
Says With Adequate Control Price
of Flour Can Safely Be Reduced
to Sc a Barrel.

NEW YORK, May 11-Herbert C.
Hoover, who recently came from Eu-
rope to advise the government on food
conditions in Europe, says that with
out control we may see flour at so a
barrel before the year is over. but
that with control "the present price
of -four can be reduced 40 to so per
cent. and at the same time the pro-
ducer be treated in a liberal manner"
Mr.. Hoover thus outlined food condi-
tious in a statement to the Associated
Press:
There is absolutely no occasion for
food panic in this country. or any
justification for outrageous prices un
less the opposition of special interests
defeats the President in obtaining the
necessary powers to control the ma
tion's food fully and adequately. Amer
ica's problem is not one of famine, for
we have now. and will have next year
a large surplus. Our problem is. after
the proper protection of our own peo-
pie, to give to our allies the last ounce
of surplus of which we are capable.
Evening star., 1917-05-11
Need of Control Explained.

Therefore, the nation needs a food
control for two purposes: To regulate
prices and to increase the surplus.
After providing for our normal con-
sumption, we will have, together with
Canada. a surplus for our allies equal
to only so per cent of the food they
require from us. If we take broad
measures of control we can, with as
little disturbance to economic ma
chinery as need be, furnish them an
additional 20 per cent
Their loaf even then Will be pri-
vation loaf. and every ounce We can
put in it will diminish their privation.
The problem is capable of solution. If.
however. the whole world. allied and
neutral is to have the unrestricted run
of our markets in competition with
each other and in competition with the
speculator in this country. we may eN-
pect to see five-dollar wheat before the

PUBLISHERS TO PROTEST
INCREASE IN POSTAGE
Newspaper Men Coming to Wash
ington to Ask Fair Treatment
in Proposed War Tax.

CHICAGO. May 11.-Many newspaper
publishers are now on the way to
Washington to attempt to procure fair
treatment for their business under the
proposed war tax, 1t is announced by
Hopewell l.. Rogers, president of the
American Newspaper Publishers Asso-
citation Mr.. Rogers said the publishers
would cooperate with K. II. Baker,
chairman of the legislation committee
of the association. In connection with
the proposed increase in postage, Pres
ident Rogers made the following state
ment:
1T is difficult to understand the pol
icy of the government, not only in the
unfair. If not Illegal. practice of dating
taxes back, but also in putting SO great
a tax on business in any form; and par
ticularly in placing so heavy tax on
the newspaper business, which has
probably been more severely affected
in the last year through increased
prices than any other industry. In time
of war newspapers suffer particularly.
owing to the enormously increased ex-
penses due to the gathering of war
news and the increased circulation-for
increased circulation means increased

Another Phase Discussed.

In the last year the newspape in
the country have been compelled to
increase the subscription price of their
papers. as we'll as their advertising
rates, in an attempt to obtain earn
ingS sufficient to carry on their busf-
ness. Newspapers in normal times sell
dom increase their advertising rates
fast enough to keep up with the in
creased cost of increased circulation,
and the last year has seen most pa
pers facing a severe financial crisis
In spite of these facts the new revenue
bill proposes increase in postal
rates. which are particularly unfair as
to the first zones, a tax of 10 per cent
on print paper imported and, I under
stand. a tax on advertising receipts
any one of which would wipe out all
the profits of most newspapers even
in normal times, and at such times as
these will tend to cause the discon-
tinuance of publication of many news
papers and force out of employment
many men specially trained for this
work. and whose value in other lines
is comparatively small.
The newspapers fully realize the
seriousness of the present situation
and appreciate that they must bear
their share of burden. but the pro
visions of this proposed bill seem
more severe on newspapers than on
any other line of business and are to
this extent unjust and indefensible"

The occasional discovery of some

this plant made excellent fodder for
domestic animals when shorn of its

leaves substance which appeared to
be powerful heart stimulant for hui
man beings. Curiously enough this
substance does not affect the lower an
imals as it does human beings; and
this fact led many Investigators to
question its potency. Most medicinal
substances affect the lower animals, or
ut least some of them, in much the
same manner as they affect human be-

ever; and although it contains heart
stimulant of such powerful action that
it must be administered with caution,
1t produces no perceptible effects on
the animals that are commonly used
