From Wholesalers.
RESTRICT TO SUPPLIES

Washington, Oct. 29-Profteer-
ing by retailers in foodstuffs will be
made impossible after Nov. l, the
food administration announced to-
night, under plan to cut off sup
plies to those not satisfied with rea-
sonable marging. Manufacturers,
wholesalers and other handlers OF
foods. whose businesses will go under
license, will not be permitted to sell
to distributors who seek undue pro-
fits.
This is one of the most sweeping
safeguards the announcement said,
against high prices which will be
Incorporated in the licensing sys-
tenn
This plan, food administration Of
fioials believe, will give the Govern
ment entire control OF retail prices.
Wholesalers and others VINO con-
tinue to sell to retailers after they
are forbidden to do so by the food ad-

to sell goods under license.
Authority for extending control to
the retailer is cited in the announce
ment as follows: THE small retail
ers of food, of whom there are sew
eral hundred thousand in the country,
while exempt from the licensing pro
visions, are nevertheless subject to
other provisions of the food control
act Every retailer as well as every
other handler of food, is forbidden
under the law to make any unrea-
sonable charge, to hoard. to monop-
olize, waste, or destroy food, or TO
conspire with any one to restrict the
production, distribution or supply or
exact excessive prices on any neces
stiles. There are no penalties pro-
vided, but the food administration
hopes that the arrangement Of re-
stricting supplies to violators of the
law will be so effective that the re-
taller will find himself unable 10 buy
goods from any wholesaler or manu-
facturer."
Federal food administrators in all
the States will be directed to keep q
watch for violators and send to the
food administration the names Of re-
tailers asking excessive prices.

CHRISTMAS PACKAGES
Must be Sent to Soldiers in France
Not Later Than Nov. IS.


Washington, Oct 26.-Anticipa-
ting some confusion among the thou
sands of wives, mothers, sisters and
sweethearts of men of the American
expeditionary force in Europe over
how to get gifts from Santa Claus to
the treI&hes and the camps behind
the trenches, the post Office depart
ment, through Otto Praeger, second
assistant postmaster general, has is
sued a clear and concise set of rules
for packing, addressing and mailing
The most important thing to re-
member is that the last mail for the
French front will be collected not
later than November 15 The gov
ernment cannot promise to get away
any parcels mailed after that time to
the boys, But it will make every eff
fort to see that all parcels mailed ac-
cording to schedule reach the camps
at least by Christmas morning TO
bring their holiday greetings from
the home folk
IL is absolutely necessary that par
cells be boxed or covered with wrap
pers of sufficient strength to resist
the heavy pressure of other mail In
other words, every home person who
is wrapping up Christmas parcel
for the front must remember that
there are thousands of others doing
the same thing, and many boxes will
be put in the same bags.
Where there are several articles
going In one parcel, including soap
candles, toilet articles, etc. it is i'm
portant to have the container tightly
bound up. Boxes of candles should
be rebound in wood, tin or corrugated
pasteboard. Care should be taken In
protecting the sharp points or edges
of razors. knives or scissors, etc,
Cakes, plum puddings and similar
delicacies should be packed in sub
stantial tin containers or something
equally resistant.
The address should be plainly writ
ten on one side and the words
Christmas Mali should be written
in conspicuous place The recip-
tents company regiment or other
organization, followed by the words.
American Expeditlonary Force"
should be included in the address. In
the upper left hand corner should be
the senders name and address, in
ink.
Postage must be prepaid at the
rate OF II cents for each pound or
fraction of pound, and all Christ
mas parcels are now limited to seven
pounds instead of 10, as at first an
nounced by Postmaster General Bur
leson. Parcels may be registered or
insured at extra cost.
Stickers should not be pasted on
to seal the parcel, and Red Cross or
other stamps, except postage stamps,
should not be placed on the address
side OF the parcel. Any pastors or
stickers resembling postage stamps
are not permitted to go through the
mails on packages,
Holiday greetings may be written
on the outside of the parcel in such
words as Merry Christmas
Happy New Year. with Best
Wishes" "Piease do not open until
Christmas etc, provided this does
not interfere with the address. Books
may bear simple dedicatory inscrip-
tions
