woRD no THE GROCERY WISE MEN.

xvNDER the food act Herbert c. Hover can control by
~ the license system the great producers and wholesal-
ers OF food His control the retail trade limited
Feeling SAFE the grocer been especially defiant OF
Hoovers admonitlons For instance, not long ago, the
food administrator mentioned fair price per pound for
sugar. He said no grocer could in reason ask more and
no purchaser ought 10 pay more.
The net result in many cases was-exacy nothing The
grocers charged exactly what they pleased II the would
be consumer did not like IT, he could lump IT, but not
with lump sugar or any other kind Of sugar.
Now OF course what the retailer doing is merely TO
prepare great chunks OF trouble hmsefa storm thar
viii sweep him off his feet An angry people will sim
ply overvhem Congress with appeals to amend the
food control bin and Congress- reluctant It may be,
will have to heed-despite all the Jim Reeds and other
Hoover opponents.
The main result Of their penny-yyise pound-foollsh
policy would therefore, be to force the license system
upon every retailer in the land What would this mean
Il would mean Hoover could control the prices OF food
from the time Il left the producer until It reached the
consumers market BASKET.
price would be nxed for instance at which the re-
taller would have sugar. II he refused his license
would be revoked he could longer sugar
Or the law might be made drastic that his power
to buy any foods would be taken from him.
In the meantime here is another word TO the wise
grocer even as the law stands Hoover has the power
TO license retailers who do 100000 worth OF business per
arnum and Is going to license them November T. This
means he can license number OF great chain grocery
organizations II these chain stores compelled 20 sell
food at a certain price, every little independent retailer
viii have to follow suit fail.
Verify IL looks as II the food pronteers are going to

Some OF exercise nervous system TO our advan-

What the new soldier in training suffers from most is
not the change his food and collars but the making
over OF the habits his body TO suit his profession
The walking habits OF the soldier often bad and It
take months OF training replace them with the fine
marching habits Of the army man.
Many human habits being made over by war; and
there is no why the soldier boy should receive all

MORE on GRADE CROSSINGS.

From the Laurel Leader.
The seriousness Of the poor protec-
ton at the four grade crossings IN
Laurel is probably more apparent after
seven O'Clock each evening than during
the day. From that time until seven
O'Clock in the morning only one Of
these crossings has protection Of any
nature. The remaining three are just
as though they were placed in the
center OF swampland where humans
never traiilcked,
1t will not he until such time that a
fatal accident or two has occurred az
our grade crossings that full import Of
the serious condition is realized. Then
there viii be numerous EXPLANATIONS 10
the effect that something should have
been done and we should have had
better protection.
After a human life has been lost all
the improvement on the face OF the
earth cannot return life to the victim.
Something has taken place which is a
mystery to man when a life expires
and the mystery OF restoring life is
even greater. Prevention far surpasses
regret. and the citizens Of Laurel
should insist that immediate action be
taken to better protect the grade cross
ings.
10 is not necessary to try and bull
done the Pennsylvania Railroad into
improving the conditions. It has been
suggested that they be Informed Of the
fact that with the present day traffic
the crossings are not safe or adequate.
Certainly this railroad Will be fair and
do their utmost 20 furnish the improve
ment so plainly needed.
We all understand that labor Is
scarce and material high, but as to the
danger daily and nightly experienced
by everyone who crosses these railroad
tracks labor and material are nothing
Let us have action at once in having
our grade crossings better protected
After the accident is no time TO take
preventative steps.
