Meat Prices

The investigation which the Fed
eral Trade Commission is making as
to the high range of prices for meat,
and as to the general operations of
the packing industry, cannot be ac-
complished in few days or in few
weeks, if it is to be as thorough as
is promised. According to one OF
the commissioners, it is not to be
satisfied by a merely superficial ex-
animation. but is first to study the
books of the packers, then to trace
the factors of cost from the ranch
to the retail counter, and lastly to
consider the relation of by-products
and their income producing value to
the cost of the edible meat, which
now is hardly more than a by
product of the development of the
auxiliaries of the meat supply.
The profits of the packers are
enormous. The consumers are
charged prices that are beyond the
reach of many. And vet it is said
repeatedly that the breeding and
raising of meat animals have been
reduced to such a low margin OF
profit that the supply is not showing
its adequate rate of increase. but
to the contrary, is diminishing.
In answer to the complaints OF
the consumers on one hand. and the
| livestock breeders on. the other. IT is
said by the packers. and demon
strated, too, that the margin of profit
| between the animal on the hoof and
| the dressed carcass. is small and far
| from eXorbitant. The factor which
makes for big profits is in the de-
velopment of the by-products. and
| the economic question which is the
key to the whole problem of meal
| prices is as to the apportionment oi
these side profits to the public as
the consumer of meat.
Coptinuing profits of twenty pei
cent. or more-and even that fig.
ured largely on the basis of pas
surplus capitalized. rather than or
original investment-in an essentia
article of food supply, when prices
are maintained at famine level. are

Call For Thousands of Special
Workers to Clear Street
Is Futile

New York, Dec. I4-New York was
blanketed in its first heavy snow of the
winter today. Four to eight inches fell
during the night, 1t was estimated that
$4,000 men were needed to clear the
streets, but only 1900 responded to the
first call for extra help.
| The storm which at times assumed the
proportions of blizzard was accompan-
led by a bitter gale. Wires were torn
down, cars delayed and barges in the
harbOr broke loose. Both telephone and
telegraph communication was interrupt
ed and in the Jersey City the fire alarm
system was temporarily " dead

damage was done to plate glass windows

AGREES
WITH THE PRESIDENT
English Premier Holds That
Allied Victory Is Essential
to World Security

London, Dec. a. = Full agreement
with President Wilson in war aims was
emphatically declared by Premier
Lloyd George of England this after
noon.
Speaking at the Lawyers club at
Grays Inn, the premier declared:
THE government fully agrees with
President Wilson IS speech.
We are now at the half way house
between victory and defeat.
GA league of nations, arbitration,
ct cetera after victory would be all
right, but without a victory would be
a farce.
"To end the war without repara-
tion would be farce in a tragical set
ting. We ought never to have started
unless we meant at all hazards to COM
plete our task.
i" vietory's essential Condition is
world security.
1T is because I am firmly convinc.
| ed despite some untoward events that
we are steadily progressing. / believe
lpeace overtures to Prussia now would
be betrayal cf the people S trust
Victory is an essential condition to
world security"
''Britain s will is like tempered
steel, f" the premier declared. ''There
is no sign of break.
FVietory is question of tonnage
Nothing can defeat us except a
shortage Of tonnage.
"Germany is desperately endeavor-
ling to force the issue before America
is ready. She will not succeed. -
"This is the fateful homr of man
kind F." Lloyd-George continued. 'To
redeem Britain and Europe and the
world must be the purpose of every
man and woman who places duty above
ease.
Democracy is at stake. England
and America must strain every re-
source. Both must especially increase
tonnage
"The most momentous fact of the
year. transposing the whole situation,
was Americas replacement of Russia
in the struggle against autocracy."
In the face of Germany's official
statement received today claiming that
England had put out ''peace feeler -
last September and subsequently de-
MED by Lord Cecil, the premier made
it as plain as did President Wilson
that the only thought of the allies now
is to fight to victory.
His reference to the league of ma
tions was obviously in connection with
the Landowne letter, but the premier
emphaized that uch a league would
not be conidered by England until vic
tory is first assured The conditions
of peace, as mentioned by Lansdowne,
have no sympathy from the govern
ment.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition. be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much a1ka1i. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with wa
ter and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich. creamy lather. and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroly- The lather
rinses out easily, and removes ever
particle of dust. dirt. dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky. bright. fluffy and easy to man
age
You can get mulsified cocoanut Oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
last every one in the family for
months.-Advertisem
