COMPLETED
Especial Correspondence

CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-James +. Gov
ton. head of the meat division Oh the
Food Administration. probably soon
will announce his plan to contro'
profits of meat packers on government
orders during the period Of the war.
His report, il was learned To-Day 10
almost completed and 1t only remains
to fix the percentage OF prohts wnleh
the government will allow. The restrie-
ton on profits, it is understood, IS 10
be solely in the nature OF war
measure.
The report is also expected to make
some exception with regard TO the
smaller packers. II is not believed tne
government will fix the rate OF proht
for packers below or 10 per cent.
Whether this profit is to be oased upon
the amount of annual sales or upon the
invested capital could not be learned
to-day.
Restriction of turnover" profits may
be urged in Mr.. Cotton's report
Charges that enormous proits nave
been made through frequent turn,
cvers" of capital invested in meat ana
meat products have been made. ms
question has been gone into thoroughly
by Mr.. Cotton and his assistants.
The prices to be fixed will be those
at which all the allied governments
will buy their war meats, including the
United States. The prices for the
smaller packers may apply TO certain
classes of sales in which the home con-
sumner is factor
State Food Administrator Wheeler
already has fixed the prices to the con
sumer of certain packers products
such as bacon, ham and lard.

Food Dealers Must Get

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Food deal

President Wilson's proclamation placing
them under license must obtain licenses
Immediately or face proceedings ann
ing at suspending their trading opera
tions.
This was made known to-day when
the food administration advised Federal
administrators in each state that some
concerns had not complied with the
regulations, and stating that action at
once was necessary.
The advices also stated that some
firms which had licenses were not com
plying with the rule TO have their
license number placed on all station
cry. This is required to facilitate the
requirement that no licensee snail
trade with a firm included in the regu-
lations and which has not procured

People Urged to Eat Cheese
Supply Ample and It's Best
Meat Substitute, Says Miller

"Now is the time to eat cheese" IS
the advice given by Cyrus c. Miller,
director of the Bureau of Distribution
of the New York State Food Admins
tration.
But Mr. Miller's advice is not with
out drawbacks, according 70 his own
admission, for while there is &c per
cent more cheese in the country to-day
than year ago, the price is much
higher. High grade cheese, now SELL
ing wholesale for u to 2412 cents,
is offered to the public in retail stores
at 80 TO SO cents a pound. Mr.. Miller
characterized this as war profit. lie
said the best grades should not be
more than 30 cents pound in any re-
tail store.
p. Q. Foy. market expert, declares
that cheese is the best substitute for
meats, and that the large supply may
be accounted for by the high price of
milk and lack Of export trade. When
milk prices went up its consumption
dropped, and the milk dealers were
forced TO divert large quantities to
the manufacture of cheese and other
by-products

Brazil Coffee Crop
Biggest Ever Raised
u. S. Merchants Expected to
Store Stock for Speculation
After the War
[Staf CONGRATULATED

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-If the price
of coffee is raised in the United States
il will be in spite of record crop IN
Brazil. A dispatch from Consul Gen
eral Alfred l.. Moreau Gottschalk, at
Rio de Janeiro, made public to-day,
says:
According to the forecasts Of those
who have the longest technical expert
ence in the business, there is every
likelihood that Brazi's coffee crop
this year will exceed anything that has
ever before been witnessed here. A
crop so plentiful as to exceed any for
MGR calculation, and. thrown uneX-
pectedly upon a market that is being
limited TO its narrowest purchasing ca
pacity by war conditions, is something
that few coffee men look forward TO
with anything like optimism.
at is expected that the state OF Kio
de Janeiro alone, which ought normally
to average 2,250,000 bags, will, accord
ing to present receipts, send IN total
of 600 900 to 100000 bags for the
wear. The State of Espirito Santo,
which has always kept near the 100000
mark. win, local coffee experts say,
easily reach the 00,00O-bag total. AS
for the State of Sac Paulo, 100000
bags seem to be expected of it, accord
ing to present indications.
"The general belief here is that there
will be considerable boarding of coffee
stocks in the United States against the
close Of the present war, and that mer-
chants in the United States, therefore,
in their desire to do this sort Of specu-
lative buying, may assist Brazil in dis
posing of the enormous harvest that is
expected this year. Brazil itself would
hardly seem to have the available CAPT
tai or the staying power to accumu late
and to keep the crop in reserve here
for some rising market in the distant
and uncertain future"

Penn. Administrator Asks
Railroads to Release Food
Especial Correspondence

lSpecldt COTTeSpOhdehceI
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. % Howard
Heinz, food administrator for Pennsyl-
vania, to day requested the railroads
to raise their embargoes throughout the
state on potatoes, cabbage, onions and
all perishable foods. This, it is eX-
pected, will have the effect of forcing
down food prices, first, by compelling
food profiteers and spectators to I'M
load on the market vast quantities of
foods held for higher prices, and sec
ond, by bringing into the markets
great quantities of food now in danger
of spelling on the hands of shippers
in the West and South.
It was stated that the Secret Service
has begun an investigation in conjunc-
tion with food administration of food
held in freight cars and storage
houses instead Of being offered for sale
to relieve high prices.

GOES TO FRONT WITH s0bbfEHs

Paris,-A landowner Of Vergeze has received the following letter from his son, a staff captain:
 q heard a strange story today, tha. a woman and a boy of 16 had been found among the men of the battalion of unmounted chasseurs. An investigation was made and they were found to be the wife and the son of chaSseur who had determined not to be separ atpd from him. Both went into the trenches with the other pOilus, and the most striking thing about 1t is that they had been with the batta- liUn for five months before the au- thorities found out. Of course, everybody in the battalion knew, but as you see the secret was well kept.
 "As an old chasseur yourself, you will be proud to learn that a fath- CT, mother and son have been un- der fire together in your old bat talion."

RCUOIt Cards Every Two Months
 Report cards for the public school will be sent out every two months rather than every month as has been done heretotOre. The progress Of the pupils will be closely watched and when child falls behind the grade parents will be informed by personal letters from the teacher in charge.
 Where school work is satis1ac- tory cards alone will be sent every second month, but if the work Is no satisfactory the parents at teution will be called to the 1act and they will be asked to aid the teacher by consultation and advice where such help is necessary.
 This plan is being followed ill many Of the best grade schools and has been found conducive of bet ter results than sending cards monthly. The cards, after time' become merely mechanical to par cuts. teachers and children.
